After a short break I found more settings. In VO Utility, Speech, With the desired voice selected, navigate right to the "Additional Voice Options" disclosure triangle. There in the table are the elements whee each one has a pop up button to choose the desired voice.

I need to go back later and try to tweak the speaking rate percentage slightly. Hopefully then my VoiceOver settings will meet my needs.

I’ll try that. I didn’t think of that, was just going into the voiceover 
utility.

   This is what I was posting about yesterday in another thread. The solution 
is in Accessibility, Speech, where you set the system voice.

   I played with this for some time and still, even with Samantha speaking, I 
hear variations in the speaking rate when certain elements are spoken. I will 
give it a go in a while.

It’s something with all the voices and it’s rather annoying! I dont think there 
is currently a way to change this but hopefully that get’s fixed. I use Siri 4 
and have the same issue.

Okay, with alex I guess I’m used to the weird pitch change, when announcing 
different controls but is there a way to stop this annoying change when 
announcing different controls etc. I’d like to change to a different voice, but 
this annoying practice is keeping me with alex, thanks.
