You know, Gone insane.
See, there are two voices now.One is a perky young woman, and the other sounds like how the young woman might sound after she has turned into a zombie.So at this point you might be asking really good questions like:

What in the name of the great Metal Robot Lord is going on?
So here we go:
I have not even the slightest idea. Though some forums have
suggested it’s a glitch that happens when the voice switches from navigation to the text to speech voice.
BUT- (wait, don’t leave, Androids with MPD are still good!
Also-)
You don’t need to know any of those things to fix it.
There are three options for changing the voice. The first is a basic option that can be used to change to built-in voice. This is also the option that’s needed to change the voice in general, after you've downloaded some of the other options.
Changing the Voice in Android (including without apps)
1- Hit the menu button on your Android phone and select
“System Settings.” You’ll get this screen-
2-Click where it says “Language & input.” Click “Text to Speech output.”
3- Select your voice engine and click the gear.” If all you have is the Google one, then you can still change the voice by clicking on the gear next to the entry. Click on “Language,” and then select a new Language. If you want to keep it English but with a different voice, try the “

SVOX
SVOX is an Android voice app that you can try out for free. By clicking on each voice in the app you can select "Listen to a Sample," "Buy this voice," or "Get a Free Trial." The Android app will then let you try out
individual voices.
Voices -
“Michael”-The sample of the voice has it reading out a canned line
about how natural sounding it is. This line sounds roughly like this- “My
naaaaammmm es Michkeeeyalll and I-have-a NAT-you-RAL VOICE.” It really sounds
just like some guy sounding: roughly the way you might sound, if you’d
ran head first into a wall, and then I handed you a canned script to read.
“Dark Lord”-This time Michael is reading his canned lines by saying them
into a water jug. This is like one of those cheap voice changer toys you might
find at Toys R Us. Fake five dollar voice effects sure are scary!
“Ghost”-This time “Michael “has got himself one of those big square
fans and is reading his self-proclaimed “natural” sounding voice directly
through it, making it sound full of vibration.

IVONA
IVONA is an Android app with high quality voices available
for free during its BETA stage, which is happening right now. You can click on
the play button on the right side of each voice to hear a sample of that voice.
Kendra- This one
is OK, but kind of underwhelming.
Amy-Amy has a
proper sounding British accent, and it really does sound natural as far as I
can tell, and oddly enough it sounds even clearer and easier to understand than
the American English one to my ears. Warning-
It’s never safe to suddenly snapped to attention, salute and say “Yes mum!” while
driving.
Gwyneth(English)-
Gwyneth has an exotic sounding voice to a US English speaker, but I have a
feeling I’d be driving around, Gwyneth would give a direction and I’d think-
“Wow! That was so cool sounding! Now what the heck did she just say?”
Others- The
Australian one- Nicole sounds fine, as for the others- well they aren’t in
English so I can’t really comment. Important
Note- Just because a voice says “U.S. ” doesn’t mean that it’s in
English. Make sure it actually says “English” under the name. Having “U.S” can
just mean the voice is speaking a foreign language with an American accent. An
example of this is Penelope. So in conclusion, if you want to confuse the heck out of yourself and all of your friends, and never actually find the road your looking for, feel free to set your android voice to a foreign language.
Always Awesome-The voices in the app really do sound natural, at least to my ears. Also, maybe at some point they will add "Klingon." Awesome! Then the voice will probably say something like "If you do not turn left at Happy Road, you have no honor." But seriously though- these voices are a major upgrade over the default Google one.
Never Cool- I'm not sure how long the Beta will last. The coolness ratio will likely go down in direct proportion to just how short the Beta period is, and exponentially compared to how hmuch the final apps cost to use.
