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 – Samantha


    English British Accent – Serena


    Cheers
