        There are approximately, 285 voices that are available as
        downloads from Apple. If you pick the name of the Voice in the
        Speech category of VoiceOver utility, and go to the last item
        in the pop-up list this will be "customize".
        Pressing this brings up a dialog with a table of voices. Each
        voice has a checkbox next to it to determine if if it will be
        enabled for use in VoiceOver. After the list of voices is a
        play, cancel, and a OK button. The Play button lets you hear a
        sample of the selected voice. The OK button accepts any
        changes and requests System Utility to download the new voices
        the next time it checks for updates.

        Best wishes,

        I like Alex, and sort of like Daniel sometimes, but are there
        additional voices for purchase or free? Just wondering. I
        like Fred's voice, but he doesn't speak clearly. haha.
