Hi Phil, It said default voice in Mavericks too, I'm sure it did. If you are not using the default voice settings for your VO then changing the default rate won't change your voice. I use the default voice for everything pretty much so changing the rate does change my overall voice speed. But you can use different voices within VO which are not default. Hope that makes sense. good luck in your investigations in VO utility.
