Hi all,
anyone know who actually voiced Serena, and whether it is likely that Apple
will pick up on Daniel? (I have, by the way. He was voiced by Jon Briggs
(Weakest Link, BBC Radio Berkshire), and the real man behind the voice will
be on Guide Cats vol. 5 (Herding Cats) which should be out in time for Sight
Village.
Regards,
Clive

Well, I hope, but doubt that they would sound better under Voice Over. I
hate them. Still too mechanical. Why do these voices always sound as though
they're gargling as they speak? I'd hoped by now we'd be having a more
naturally flowing voice -

Hi
Thought some of you might want a listen to these, what do you think of
them...
Begin forwarded message:
Hello
Here are samples of a couple of the new voices in Lion which have been doing
the rounds. These aren't generated through Apple's speech engine, they're
the same voices used by another service so the samples are generated from
that. They may or may not sound better when used in VoiceOver:
English American Accent

English British Accent <http://nextupdownloads.com/scansamples/serena.wav>
- Serena
