iOS and iPadOS

Hi:
I have a new Iphone 8 running the latest IOS. I am wondering if I can use the new Siri voice for the voiceover voice? If so, how Do I go about it? Thanks.
P.S. I would like to use the Siri voice because the default voiceover voice sounds muffled. It was sounding fine for the first few hours I had the phone and then it changed. I don't know what happened to change the voice.

Hi,

Hi,
Go to settings>general>accessibility>voiceOver>speech, and select your language. then there you should see all the voices that are available, in this case, english. Then you should scroll down till you find the one you want, double tap on it and hit the voice name enhanced button that will appear there and VO should say, "downloading. Make sure that you have your device either plugged into power, or are using an external battery case or power bank, otherwise this won't work. Also, be on wifi, not phone data, or this won't download.

Thanks.

Hi Justin:
Thank you for the instructions. It worked well. I am going to try out the different voices and then decide which one I like.
