MS Word Read Aloud voice changes tone

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?

    Hi, there are no voices besides a male and female, both in a very non-average South African accent. Accent to about less than 5 percent of the population. We have many different english dialects just another issue I have. Would be nice if one could clone one's voice as a feature. So I guess this issue has still not been solved yet.

    I'm experiencing this too. One reads like a a real person although a little eccentric and one voice reads like a robot. It keeps switching between voices through the document, mostly using the robot voice.

    The intonation has changed, me it's for all of my text, it didn't do that before and now these is enphasis, end of phrase ending etc. It used to be monotone which is what I want and now it can't be changed back
