They probably are her. I didn't know she did the TOS computer voice till a few years ago. So it's not like she can't disguise her voice some.
Was Majel ever in ST XI? (spoilers)

I was the same, i went into the advanced preview so excited and hypo i couldnt take everything in. I couldnt pay attention to every detail at once, i was focused on the story and the characters.
My 2nd viewing tomorrow should open a few channels and i may pick up on her voice, but the only discernable one i can think of is the 'Checkov and his troublesome Wubbleyous' scene.
Other than that, i cant really tell.

Good, at least it wasn't just me. There's probably a scene of Spock talking the the Computer on the cutting room floor.
"Working."

While I agree that the Kelvin's computer has a different voice, I still think the Enterprise's and the Jellyfish's computers are her.
I was right about the bridge-window too, so I HAVE to be right about this also

But if they're going to use Majel, why change her voice so it doesn't sound like her? The whole point of getting her in the booth was for continuity and to honor her.
I honestly don't know how anyone could think the Jellyfish computer was her. It doesn't sound anything like Majel.
The Enterprise computer, however, I recognized right away the first time I heard it. It was obviously her.
I have to agree, i instantly recognized her voice on the Enterprise, but the other two ships sounded like different people.
The Jellyfish's computer sounds NOTHING like Majel.
Nothing.
How anyone can think otherwise is, well, silly.
The scene with Chekov is obviously her. Majel has a very distinct voice.

Not that I have any special insight or anything, but I just wanted to add my vote that I think Majel was the voice of the Enterprise computer and that was it. The scene with Chekov and possibly the water tube scene. I don't think she did the Jellyfish or the Kelvin voices. If she had done those, both of which were Federation ships or ships using Federation technology, what would have been the point of altering her voice? No, I don't think it was her.
Jellyfish had more of an echo type voice to it so I can see how one wouldn't think it was her. But I'm pretty sure it is. Majel Barrett is the only one credited as computer voices.
She is credited as "Starfleet Computer" but only because she notworthy enough to do it. The other ships' computers could've been uncredited parts.
Agreed. The Kelvin and Jellyfish voices are *obviously* not Majel.
I don't care what the credits say.
Its worth pointing out that when you have a sound man as talaneted as Star Wars and Wall-E's Ben Burtt on board its not a stretch to think that her voice was toned up and augmented a little bit in preperation for the movie....especially if she was ill at the time she recorded it.
Ya but how come she sounds like herself in the Chekov scene then? Why only change the sound of her voice in some of the scenes but not all?
