I get a little startled every time I hear the new voice—the tone is too harsh and the words are spoken too quickly. It sounds kind of like a nervous backseat driver who's just a little too worried about everything and who doesn't trust me. I much prefer the old voice, which was calmer and slower, and I didn't find its announcements anxiety-inducing.
The new voice is problematic enough for me that I will probably try to find alternatives for navigation unless and until this issue can be resolved.
