Had the same problem. I finally think I resolved it by setting the intonation 
of my default voice to 0%.

   Its not been all that easy to get the voices back to what we are 
used to. I use Alex for both system voice and Voiceover voice. I have 
not noticed issues with pitch and intonation, but definitely did with 
the speaking rate.

Yes. You can change the pitch of the voice at least and she should not sound 
like a man, but the other problems are related to Ventura.

VOiceOver fluctuating in pitch after upgrading to Ventura

2022-11-09 Thread Dolores Manzino 
Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone was experiencing VoiceOver fluctuating in pitch after 
updating to Ventura. I am and it’s really frustrating. It goes from low to 
normal, and switching voices or adjusting pitch and intonation in VoiceOver 
settings doesn’t seem to solve the problem. Right now the Fiona voice sounds 
like a man, and it’s worse with Alex. Does anyone have any idea how to solve 
this? I have an EMail into Apple Accessibility. Thank you for any assistance 
you can provide.

Have a great day.
