Deleting voices does not seem to be permanent. I had removed the
unwanted voices so they would not show in the speech rotor but I suspect
system updates puts them back.

Hi,
The basic answer is "Yes". What exactly do you do to manually change it
to Alex? There are normally three places to check. VO Utility under
Speech, the VO rotor and System Preferences under Accessibility, Speech.
Fore the VO rotor, press VO-cmd-shift-left or right to the Voices
item, then VO-cmd-shift-up or down through the choices. In the VO
rotor, if Automatically switch is enable, the voice will switch
depending on what accent the Mac feels that is required for the specific
word.
All that said, if you do wish to get rid of Daniel, go to System,
Library, Speech, Voices, and locate Daniel. Get rid of both Daniel and
Daniel Compact speech folders. It will require your finger-print or
Admin password depending on your Mac model. The caution is to not get
rid of the stock voices. So, if you wish to get rid of Daniel, only get
rid of Daniel and Daniel Compact. don't forget to empty your Trash.
Later...

Hello everyone,
I just updated my MacBook Pro to version 10.14.4 today and encountered a
problem I had several updates ago. Although my preferred English voice
is Alex, Daniel keeps inserting itself into my work. Even when I
manually switch to Alex, my MacBook reverts to Daniel.
Since I have had this problem before and find it particularly annoying,
I am wondering what would happen if I erased Daniel, a stock voice of
the operating system and any other English languages for that matter
from my Mac. Obviously, I wouldn’t attempt to erase Alex.
I would appreciate feedback from others.
Thank you.
Mike
