No, you aren't fantasizing.  But I believe it's just an idiosyncrasy of 
Eloquence performance, a limitation of some kind.  The drop in voice pitch 
only happens when Jaws has to speak a very long string of characters or 
words without punctuation, or particularly end punctuation such as a period. 
I've never had the voice go low simply because Jaws was reading a long 
article, email  or document.  Only under certain conditions that are like 
run-on sentences.

In any case, it's real, but so far as I'm aware, it surely can't be some 
sort of deliberate feature.  At least I really can't imagine why, or what 
the purpose would be.
