Abstract: Highlights•We present a comparison of phonetic accommodation to natural and synthetic voices when shadowing short sentences.•The study investigates a diverse set of features pertaining to different phonetic domains.•Natural and synthetic voices triggered accommodating behavior for several features.•Predominant pattern: convergence during the interaction followed by divergence after the interaction.•Individual participants converged to varying subsets of the examined features.
