MS Word Read Aloud voice changes tone

I have same issue,

Sometimes it reads one paragraph whit once voice and next in valley girl voice then again in generic English voice.

So far what i know is changing proofing language change voice of read out loud. (PS: Canadian English voice is almost ok)

Also it seems if you let it detect language and you proofing language is one that don't have tts engine support it default to generic English voice what i usually hear and like. but sometimes it detect US English word only and then jump into valley girl voice on that sentence.

There is no generic English proofing language option so i cant force that voice to be all time what is kind of sad.

The female voice changed for me recently, too. This happened on the Word app on android. I do not use read aloud on the desktop. It is very unpleasant and distracting. Honestly, it's awful. I also only have 2 choices: male or female. The previous female voice was the only one that read in a generic, non-distracting way. We don't want "more human" sounding voices that pause and add inflection in weird places. We want a steady, generic voice that helps us listen for information, errors, etc. People aren't having word documents read to them for entertainment. I would like to know if there is a way to get the previous female voice back so I can continue my work without disruption.

Think of it this way... If I paid for spaghetti at a restaurant and halfway through my meal some waiter came by and dumped a bunch of cheese all over my plate under the assumption that everyone wants cheese on their pasta, this would be wrong. Please stop making assumptions and changing our norms. If people didn't like the previous voice, they would have said so.

There are only 2 options available on the mobile app. The female option voice was changed for what appears to be no good reason at all. Now we're stuck with weird reading voice girl.

Overnight the option of 2 voices: m/f - both ‘speaking’ as if auditioning for a jr high play - replaced the f voice that was actually appropriate for reading scientific research papers, the reason I pay for ms365 to begin with. 4? Days now trying to reach the ms365 tech support: no response. Is anyone aware of the problem? To the point of addressing it?

I am also an author who uses Word's Read Aloud option on a daily basis. The NEW female voice is awful and distracting! She sounds like someone reading a bad, breathy romance novel. It is wholly inappropriate in my mystery novel. Can I please have the old female voice back, or at least give us an option between the two?

When this first happened to me, it was, as others have said, suddenly in a new paragraph or when it would hit dialogue quotation marks. Now, it is all the time. I hate it.
