Stephen Hawking’s computer-generated voice, which he uses because ALS has inhibited his ability to speak, may be more recognizable than the voices of some famous singers.

But he’s had it for an awfully long time, and he’s ready for something more modern. Now, the audition process begins.

Okay, not really, but it’s all for a good cause.
