How to use Pandora Voice Mode
(As described by Pandora)
Picture this: you wake up in the morning and need some beats to get you out of bed, but something on the gentle side until you get that first cup of coffee:
“Hey, Pandora: play some music to start my day.”
Oh yeah, you really love that song.
“Hey, Pandora: play more like this.”
Oooooh, you love this one even more. You’re going to want to play that again later.
“Hey Pandora: add this to my slow jams playlist.”
Now you’re in the car headed to work. Ugh, traffic. A little laughter always helps pass the time.
“Hey, Pandora: play the latest Kevin Hart podcast.”
Hysterical! Now you’re at work. Fortunately, the boss is vacationing in Aruba, so you can leave early and go to the gym.
“Hey, Pandora: play something for my workout.”
Remember that second scoop of Chunky Monkey you had last night?
“Hey, Pandora: play something in Beast Mode.”
Then back to the car. What was that awesome new song you just heard playing at the gym?
“Hey, Pandora: play the song that goes ‘Snakes and stones never break my bones.’”
That’s Taylor Swift’s new song, “You Need to Calm Down.” We all got crowns!
Now you’re back home – time to whip up a batch of your famous chicken enchiladas.
“Hey, Pandora: play something happy for cooking.”
Hey, that’s perfect.
“Hey, Pandora: what song is this?”
Oh yeah, that is totally your enchilada-cooking jam.
“Hey, Pandora: turn it all the way up!”
Whoops, sorry neighbours. Let’s bring it down and get some rest so you can wake up to a new day of great music discoveries tomorrow!
“Hey, Pandora: play some relaxing music for sleeping.”
Zzzzzzzzzz.
