On my macbook pro (OS Ventura 13.0.1) when I use TTS the voice is incredibly and frighteningly high pitched and there’s nothing I can do about that. Is it a bug?

Just wanted to report that I am seeing the same behavior (same strange high-pitched voice) on Ventura. It appears to be a bug.
However, after some testing this seems to only occur with the MacOS system voices. I have a Cereproc voice installed, and if I switch the setting under “Spoken Content” to use this voice instead of a system voice, then it is used in MarginNote instead of the high-pitched one.
Anyone considering this as a workaround: The “Adam” and “Nathan” voices from Cereproc are quite good, although I now actually prefer Jamie Premium (which is a MacOS system voice and available for free).
I am having the same issue and can’t find a way to change and I have even setup my spoken content and still running into the same issue
Has anyone been able to solve this bug? This bug only happens when I choose the Siri voice. It does not happen when I choose any other voice (such as Nathan or Evan). It’s really frustrating! I hear the same weird raspy voice (in English) but if I switch to another language, this problem does not happen.
This bug still exists as of August 2024. It only happens when the Siri voice is selected in the system setting (Accessibility - Spoken Content). Actually, I reported this bug in 2020 already (Cannot speech using Siri voice).
Could you help me look into this as it is really frustrating and it has been unsolved for four years. Thanks!
