Saw this on my new macbook 2010 machine. (it is new to me. )
Not using Alex voice, seems to have solved the issue for me.

Subject: my impressions with sierra so far
I agree with you that this will probably be the last version of the
operating system to work on 2010 macs, my mac mini and macbook are from
2010, so will probably be upgrading those next year. I understand some
features not working, and I'm ok with that, but if an operating system
is going to work on a computer, it should not have a major issue like
this that completely prevents you from completing what you are working
on and requires you to reboot. I will give Samantha a try and see if
this solves the issue.

Hey Mike. It sounds like all Apple voices have this issue. The funny
thing is when I'm using either the Nuance or Acapela voices, this issue
doesn't happen. As for people saying that Apple is lacking in quality,
everybody has their own opinions and I don't agree with everything
people say about the subject. But keep in mind that you are using Sierra
on a 2010 model. Not everything will work as flawlessly as we want them
to. I think Sierra will probably be the last OS that 2010 models will be
supported as the demand for processor power is getting higher and higher
every year. And now that the new Macs are out, a lot of features in
10.13 will probably cator to those models.

Hey everyone, so, I decided to upgrade to sierra starting with my 2010
mac mini, also just upgraded the memory to 4 GB. I must say, so far I
have had a few major problems. First, the recovery disk assistant does
not seem to work with sierra to allow you to clone the recovery
partition to an external USB drive. I was able to do this manually using
terminal, but the task is now definitely more time consuming. I did get
this done and my recovery usb drive now works. A more serious issue
relates to voiceover, I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
Several times, for no apparent reason, voiceover just quits speaking.
It's hard to tell when it will happen, I have not found any pattern to
consistently reproduce it, but when it happens, I have to completely
reboot to get speech back. The audio itself is not muting, error sounds
still play, and pressing command+F5 to reenable it does not work either.
I've actually tried unplugging my speakers from the mac mini, and am
using the internal speaker, and so far it is working, though I would
rather not use this as my solution, just trying to do some process of
elimination. Has anyone else experienced this with sierra, and if so,
have you found any way around it. This was never an issue with previous
operating systems.
