Really, you want different voices for different things.

There is an authoritative edge to Barrett's voice when she plays the computer that the other voice actors seem to lack.

I have long said I can't see any point in getting Alexa or Siri unless they can be made to sound like Majel's computer or Mel Blanc's Twiki and I am unanimous in that.

TMP was one of the last films to have an overture played before the film to give the audience time to be seated, in place of the ads and trailers we have today

A bit offtopic...but interestingly it seems the live-action remake of Disney´s "Beauty and the Beast" was intended to run with an overture at first. There´s an option to include it on the BluRay...its basically an instrumental version of all main musical motivs.

the cheesy "RED. ALERT. RED. ALERT." from the original

I adore that red alert. It's so threatening!
