1239346 2011-10-23 19:59:00 I certainly prefer a female voice to a male voice. Males have deep voices while females have sharper voices that are easier to understand. Female radio operators were easier to understand as their sharp voices would pierce through the static and other atmospheric noises associated with radio.

I selected a female voice for my GPS as it is easier to understand over traffic and engine noise.

I originally had Corel Draw 4 which had video tutorial featuring a lovely young lady. I used to enjoy watching the tutorial. I now have Corel Draw X5 which also has a video tutorial which is given by a man. I find the Corel Draw X5 tutorial less interesting to watch.

Anyway - that's right about the ♀ voice being more attractive - unless it's my wife.

Yap yap yap yap - don't go so fast - yap yap yap - watch out for that car ahead - yap yap yap - you're gonna get lost - yap yap yap - you don't know how to drive yap yap yap - your turn signal's still clicking yap yap yap - don't go around that corner so fast yap yap yap - roll up your window, it's messing my hair - yap yap yap - I need to go to the bathroom yap yap yap - are you SURE this is the right way? - yap yap yap yap yap yap - yap yap yap - yap yap yap - yap yap yap -

Funny you should say that because studies have shown that, in general, people prefer radio journalists to be men because of their deep (and therefore authoritative-sounding) voices. You notice a lot that the female voices on radio are deeper than the average woman's.

1239352 2011-10-26 17:21:00 I prefer the real thing when on the phone - and female

However SWMBO always knows when I am talking to a female on the phone - something to do with a flirtatious manner and tone in my voice.
Thankfully she just rolls her eyes and laughs

Oh lucky me :D
