I have a feeling that all voices from the originating country sounds "snooty" It is all a matter of listening. I am French Canadian and the voice that is comfortable for me is "Julie" If I were to have to work with parisian French, then the voice would have to be "Virginie" Regards / Mes respects Guy Castonguay ________________________________ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of angel238@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: 14-Nov-10 4:47 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: which french and spanish voice do yoou recommend? I think you mean Castilian and Latin American Spanish. I like Paullina. I have never used the Castilian voice, however. I think Castilian Spanish is too snooty sounding for my liking. Differentiating the different accents is not racist if proper terminology is used to distinguish the difference. ----- Original Message ----- From: Yadiel Sotomayor<mailto:yadosotomayor@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, November 14, 2010 11:24 AM Subject: Re: which french and spanish voice do yoou recommend? If you like the spain accent then go with Monica from Real Speak. You can download her for free from the FS website. If you don't like the spain accent then go with the mexican spanish (I hate that statement, mexican spanish. sure... racist comment... mexican accent more like it, what happen to us puerto ricans, no voices for us) (lolol) voice, Paulina. I like those two a lot. However, paulina isn't responsive at all. So don't use her if you want to work. But if you want to read, then go for those two.
