Hi Jackie,
"For example, there was one voice that laughed each time it spoke, it was
absolutely crazy."
Would you happen to remember which voice that was? Sorry for the trivial
question but I would like to check it out on my brother's Mac. Sounds fun! :)

Hi Mike
I hope you enjoy Voiceover and Alex. There are some really gimmicky voices
I have to admit, and when Martin let me hear some of them weeks ago, I was
really in hysterics at the stupidity of some. For example, there was one
voice that laughed each time it spoke, it was absolutely crazy. But you
can't really go far wrong with Alex.
If you read Braille and can access an embosser, there are Voiceover manuals
ready to be run off in BRF format.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns
