Apple - Add ‘Good News' voice to "Say" commands
Voices can be downloaded from:
System Preferences... → Accessibility → Speech
Select the System Voice and click Customize...
There You can search for Good
or Bad
. Voices will be downloaded and will be available in say
command as well. I've tested this a moment ago.
Both of the other answers here refer users to System Preferences > Accessibility and, while there, to either Speech or Voice in the lefthand pane.
However, it is entirely possible you won't have these options. If this is the case, you can download voices instead via the following process:
- Go to System Preferences > Accessibility
- Select Voiceover in the lefthand pane
- Now on the righthand side, click on the Open VoiceOver Utility... button
- After the Voiceover Utility opens, select the Speech option in the lefthand pane
- On the righthand side you'll now see a drop-down menu under the Voices heading
- From this menu select Customize...
- Now you'll see a window from which you can select voices to download
- Select the voice(s) you want to download
- Click OK
- The voice(s) you selected will begin downloading. Once they're downloaded you will see them appear in the drop-down menu under the Voices heading.
A quicker option
Another process you can follow to download voices is as follows:
- Go to System Preferences > Dictation & Speech
- Select the Text to Speech tab
- From the System Voice drop-down menu select Customize...
- Now you'll see a window from which you can select voices to download
- Select the voice(s) you want to download
- Click OK
- The voice(s) you selected will begin downloading. Once they're downloaded you will see them appear in the System Voice drop-down menu
AFAIK, Apple removed the Novelty sounds. They need to be downloaded manually through System Preferences > Accessibility > select Voice on the left side > System Voice menu > select Customize > select (required voice).
