Tom was the greatest. Always gave me goosebumps listening to severe wx in the plains.

I miss only one-half of the 'real people' voices from long ago.  That's the fact that they were real people, with different accents, pronunciations and overall sound.

I don't miss trying to adjust modulation on a transmitter to accommodate the WIDE RANGE of volumes between the soft-spoken women and the basso profundo men. 

MchWxEnthusiast:
the live voices sound like truckers on cb

kb4mdz:
I'm pretty sure they didn't get any real vocal training, like watching levels, listening to yourself, etc.   

"Here: Record this for the radio feed."     But hey, they're paid to forecast WX. 

Currently readability of the synthesized voices:  Pretty darn good.

Local color  and real human voice of the old way:  I still miss it (we had some really nice voices in the Raleigh NC office, years ago, just untrained), a little bit.
