Mary, it's so funny how you can agree with someone on liking one voice, but not 
agree with them about another voice. I can't stand Kendra. She's way too deep 
for my liking, and her inflection is so flat, like Ivona Sally. I like a lot 
about Sally, but her flatness drives me absolutely bonkers!


Thanks,
Ari
