Which one did you listen to, Evelyn or Zoe? Evelyn is the older deep voiced sounding and Zoe is the younger one. Also, if you think about it, Nuance always sends Apple updates to their voices with each version of Mac OS. If history repeats itself, Vocalizer 5 or Expressive as it's called now will be updated to version 6 which will include these new voices. They might not be there in the first beta, but give it time and they will be there.
