Hi Figure, I worked on Ten Pin Alley and when we decided on the voice we picked one that was like a nineteen fifties TV announcer that did shows like bowling for dollars. That is Josh's voice doing the accent deliberately sounding like a used car salesman. I think you are correct in that the voice talks too much so you can hit a control key to stop him speaking. I would have preferred either a switch that is saved to adjust the verbosity like in JFW or the game automatically talking less as you play a game. But Josh had the final decision on these matters.
