Have you used VO-Cmd-Right or Left Arrow then VO-Cmd-Up or Down Arrow to change pitch? You could also try other vouces to test if the problem goes away.

Does anyone use duck duck go as their search engine?  She’s doing the
high pitched thing with the checkboxes at each heading.  It’s also
occurring when in a mail message and there is a quote level one.  Lol!
 I don’t really want to switch voices, but I may need to for a while.
 This high pitch thing is happening too much.  It’s rather jarring.  :)

I’m going to run over to the app store and keep my fingers crossed
there’s an update.

Thanks,
Traci

I haven't experienced this, though I do not use that tts. It would be
interesting to try using the save spoken text to iTunes and see if
that does it too. I am not sure  about the tts's that Apple buys, but
the Apple TTS have features to change rate and pitch using statements
enclosed in double bracketsxz. So perhaps some controls are getting in
the way.

Best Wishes,

    Hi everybody,
      I don’t know if I accidentally changed a setting, but this is
    driving me a little crazy.  I use Samantha compact for my Mac
    VoiceOver voice.  Just recently she is doing some weird high pitch
    letters and web locators.  A few examples, when I VO-shift-left
    and right arrow to read over letters in a word, she is going high
    pitch while reading some of them.  Not just the capitols.  When I
    am typing words, she is going high pitch on some words but most
    punctuation.
      I’ve been reading a lot on dog food advisor and there are parts
    on their site where she goes high pitched.  There are buttons for
    vote up or vote down.  If there is a number before these buttons,
    she goes high.

    Anyway, any suggestions on if I’ve changed something, or could
    this be part of an update?

    Thank you,
    Traci
