Default Which voice do you prefer?

I'm working on this project for work and I need to record certain audio messages that callers into our call center will hear. I recorded sample messages from 7 candidates and I need to pick one. The problem is that the one that I like most is the one that my boss likes the least, and the one my boss likes the most, I like the least. So we decided that we needed some help from outsiders.

- These recordings will be used by a call-center, where most of our calls are for orders
- We don't collect age, so I can't tell you what the average age range is
- I believe that most of our callers are female, but I'm going to gather some statistics this afternoon to confirm this. I'll post this information up once I know for sure.
- The files have not been edited in any way shape or form. Before we use the files, they will edited only to get the mistakes out, like sighs, cracks, etc.

Here are the seven voices:

Voice 1
Voice 2
Voice 3
Voice 4
Voice 5
Voice 6
Voice 7


I'd also like to know your age, and gender, so please post that information up along with your choice.

All right. 36% of callers are male, 64% are female.

Voice 1 or 5. The male voice sounded like a computer.
