The female reader’s voice ressembles a lot what one can generate with an AI-generated text-to-speech service.
The Readers voice
This is incredibly off putting the female is trying so hard to enunciate each word ( with great difficulty) that it’s hard to listen to my favorite news briefs! She can often not pronounce simple words like Deutsche Bank calling it Deutchy … Bank there have been so many of these, that I’ve lost count. Please stop honestly your listeners do not represent the demographic you might be trying to reach!
Speaker sounds AI-generated
Speaker sounds like an AI-generated readout of news headlines; uninterested and robotic; very off-putting
