Change Personal Voice settings for accessibility on Mac
On your Mac, use Personal Voice settings to create a synthesized voice that sounds like you.
Note: Personal Voice is available only on Mac computers with Apple silicon and is not available in all languages. Personal Voice can be used only with Live Speech and with third-party apps that you allow, such as Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) apps. You can use Personal Voice only to create a voice that sounds like you on device, using your own voice, and for your own personal, noncommercial use. See the Apple Support article Create a Personal Voice on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
To change these settings, choose Apple menu 
in the sidebar, go to Speech on the right, then click Personal Voice. (You may need to scroll down.)
