Wow! I would never describe Sally as flat. Smile. This is so incredibly subjective. I guess I can see why you call Kendra flat. I kind of think of it as low-key, not too emotional, not in my face. To me, Sally sounds like a snotty teenager. Sorry for the stereotype, but there you go. And there are other voices like Ava and Sharon, for instance, that I think must have been made to appeal to men, because they sound like they’re trying to be seductive. Thanks but no.
