Five male, five female. Each of them read the same sentence — the clips below are those recordings, and the numbers next to them were measured from the clips themselves.
How to read the numbers
Hz is the median fundamental pitch — the lower the number, the deeper the voice. Words per minute comes from how long each voice took over the same 21-word sentence at speed 1.0. The gap between the fastest and the slowest voice is about 25%, which on a one-minute script is close to fifteen seconds.

The everyday male voice: mid-range, even, no strong colour. If you do not know which voice you want, start here and change only if something bothers you.

The second lowest of the ten. Weight without slowness — it keeps a normal pace while sitting a full octave under F4.
Try this voice with your own textannouncements, tight video slots, instructions
The fastest voice in the set: the same sentence takes it 6.8 s where F3 needs 8.5 s. Useful when a script has to fit a fixed slot.
Try this voice with your own textwelcome messages, tutorials, audio for children
Softer attack than M1 and M3 — the ends of sentences fall gently instead of stopping flat. The friendliest of the male voices.
Try this voice with your own textaudiobooks, long articles, documentaries
The lowest voice here and the most even. It holds a steady rhythm over long paragraphs, which is exactly what you want when someone listens for ten minutes and not for ten seconds.
Try this voice with your own textbusiness, e-learning, phone systems
Clear and neutral, with the crispest consonants of the female voices. Survives phone speakers and noisy rooms better than the softer ones.
Try this voice with your own textads, social clips, notifications
High and lively, with wider pitch movement inside a sentence. Good on short text; on a long paragraph the energy can start to feel like a lot.
Try this voice with your own textnews, reports, formal announcements
The slowest and lowest of the female voices — the news-desk register. Every word gets its full length, which is why the same sentence runs a second and a half longer than with M3.
Try this voice with your own textcharacters, storytelling, playful content
The highest and the most animated: it reacts to punctuation more than any other voice here. Question marks and exclamation marks actually change the melody — which also means sloppy punctuation shows up fastest with F4.
Try this voice with your own textmeditation, sleep, calm narration
Quiet delivery, soft consonants, small pitch range. The one to use when the recording should not demand attention — meditation, sleep, waiting-room audio.
Try this voice with your own textTwo things decide the voice: how long someone will listen, and through what speaker. Long text wants an even voice — M5 and F3 hold a rhythm for minutes, while F2 and F4 tire the listener along with themselves. Short text tolerates the opposite: in a fifteen-second clip the livelier voice carries better.
The low voices (M2, M5) sound excellent on headphones and disappear on a phone speaker, which simply does not reproduce much below a hundred hertz. If the recording will be heard on a phone without headphones, F1 and M3 stay intelligible.
And a simple bit of arithmetic for video: if the script has to fit thirty seconds, at 154 words per minute that is about 77 words. Count them before you record — cutting two sentences is easier than speeding up the audio afterwards.
