How to make XL.Speech.Speak talk in a male voice

[DPWM]

Hi there. I recently learned how to make excel/powerpoint talk, but I've only been able to make it do so in a female voice. Is there a way to do it in a male voice? In PowerPoint, before using the code, I had to go visual basic, tools, references, and make sure Microsoft Excel 12.0 (or whatever version you're using) object library was checked. Here's the code:

So right now, it would say "Random talking stuff" in a female voice when I activate the macro. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you! I actually found that out as you were responding I think, but really wanted to know if there was a way to do it from VBA. It looks like I only have one voice anyway (Microsoft Anna) though, and upon further research, downloading a third party voice seems to be the only way to go.
