I'm thinking it's your imagination. Though I honestly never have liked the nuance voices at all really, I've not heard any differences in the way you're describing.

Subject: Quality of Nuance Voice Tom for the MacBook Air


Hello, everyone.

I am using a 13-inch MacBook Air running OS X 10.10.5.  I recently
downloaded the Nuance voice Tom using the VoiceOver Utility function,
and I notice that the sample sentence spoken by Tom accessible without
downloading the voice sounds more natural than the downloaded voice.
"Natural" is, of course, difficult to define, but to my ears, the
sample voice sounds as if it occupies a greater frequency bandwidth.
Is this limitation on the quality of the downloaded voice connected to
the available memory of the MacBook Air?  Is it a product of my
imagination?  :-)

Thank you for all help.,

Craig
