    how can you change the alert voice (text to speech) default?

    You can change the voice chosen in:-
    Settings,
    Time & language,
    Speech,
    sub-heading - Voices,
    dropdown list - Choose a voice.

    If necessary, you can also add voices using a combination of the items under the sub-headings Manage voices & Installed voice packages.
    - There is a reference list of language voices at Appendix A Supported languages and voices in Narrator - Windows Help
