I have always chosen male voices also, even before I developed the hearing
impairment I now have--the mid-range male voices are definitely easier to
hear. I also choose a Brit voice whenever possible.

Quite honestly, I can hear the guys better, I mean, the guy voices.:) But,
then again, it may be selective hearing. The women voices almost always
seem too soft, though the Samantha demo was pretty good quality.

Personally, I'm sort of excited about the Irish and Scottish voices on

Can't recall their names at the moment however.
On another note, how do all of you prefer your voices? For instance, I
know someone who is almost obsessed with all his products consisting of
speech output be female. Always seemed a little weird to me, but perhaps
it is I who am the odd one, as I don't have a preference either way; so
long as the voice is understandable, and of amazing quality. Reply to this
latter note off-list if it's too far OT, just curious to know whether or
not that's a common standard when choosing a synthetic voice.
