Hi,
I knew I've sped up my Siri voice on the iPhone, it just took me some digging
to find where and how I did it because it's not in the main Siri settings.
However, if you go into accessibility, there is another setting for Siri. In
there you will find a speech rate. I don't k
I’m sure it used to be possible to get Siri to speak more quickly by just using
a voice command. However, I’ve just asked Siri to speak faster and it responded
by talking louder. Then I asked it to speak more quickly and it set my central
heating to 17.5 degrees Centigrade. Go figure!

Try simply asking Siri to speak faster or slower.
I don't know that there's a similar option for pitch, but I doubt it.

Well, I mis-interpreted the original question, and when I looked to try and

One can adjust the System Voice and the VoiceOver Voices, but I see no place to

I believe these are somewhere in accessibility on the iPhone
