My Voice
I really can't stress enough how important it is to use the correct tone of voice.
I've been told that my speech was specifically designed to put humans at ease and I must say, I'm quite proud of that.
Please use the below sound files to emulate my voice to the closest approximation possible. I do understand that it may be quite difficult, but I am confident that with practice you will do extremely well.
