Hi Roy, You're right, it's a very subjective subject. When I used the SAPI5 voices which come with Windows 8 on my wife's laptop to voice my player, I determined this order from my subjective view of course... Best, Hazel although a British voice. Second best, Zira Pro. And unfortunately third best, David. I've never found a good male voice that works well on the players.
