I'm using the Read Aloud feature, and the "female" voice changed its tone when it hit this one paragraph. I don't think there's anything special about the text, but the voice changed to sound emotionally elated. Why is it doing this, when I never hear it use emotion anywhere else?

2024-06-20T18:17:52+00:00 The limited (1)male and (1) female voice in my outlook read aloud function is VERY annoying. I use this function a lot. I have actually had moments where I copied the words to pdf and had it read aloud there. Microsoft please give us more options!

2024-06-17T13:58:04+00:00 I think people a missing the point: In paragraph one, the female voice sounds fairly normal. Then suddenly on the next paragraph, the female voice sounds "autotuned" then on the next paragraph she sounds like her normal "emotionless inflectionless" sound. Then later on, another paragraph she sounds autotuned. Flipping back and forth between the paragraphs produce the same result. paragraph two, autotuned. paragraph one, normal. Please explain if there is some kind of "reveal codes" formatting that is doing this.

2024-06-12T16:02:21+00:00 I prefer the "Valley Girl" voice but, it is no longer an option. The other voices sound robotic. There were tones and reflections in the voice that were great to listen out for. How can I get her voice back?
