Maybe it is not just you because mine have pronunciation problems and they read funny. The child voices suck and they read like they are mad at me. I tried the ones that was going around the list earlier this week. Does anyone know of others to try?
You know what. I am currently at the Closing The Gap conference and had someone today come by and tell me these were the best kids voices he had ever heard. So it is all a matter of perspective. Because it is illegal in most countries to lock kids into recording booths for a long time and it takes a lot of expertise to speak correctly for voice recording, kid voices are not recorded but transformed adult voices. So naturally they are not as good as adult voice. I am not to crazy about them either. But, kids who cannot speak really much prefer using the kid voices then using adult voices, so it is good that they are there.
