This is a most-winningness thread. I'm so glad it's been revived, but I'm clock-hot confused.Hmm, it would seem to me that there are two obvious methods to find a sexy voice to read your time aloud: 1) get a voice clock with a voice you find sexy, or 2) get any voice clock and try to find that voice sexy. I'll focus on the latter as I imagine the previous posters suggested the former.
You might want to look into something called "conversion therapy" of which there are several techniques. Now, I've never made somebody get the hots for a clock before, so bear in mind that this advice cannot replace the assistance provided by somebody who specializes in clock hots.
Behavioral modification entails associating negative feedback with undesired stimuli. Each time you find yourself aroused by voice that isn't your clock's (or by a clock with no voice), immediately take an emetic or electrically shock yourself. Conversely, you can reward desired stimuli by waiting for your voice clock to speak and rewarding yourself with a cake. Note: if your clock is set to announce every minute, you will need to eat each cake very quickly.
Psychoanalysis would require you to find the root cause of your lack of attraction to clock voices. These root causes are typically a childhood experience in which important role models subverted conventions that would normally aid in developing healthy attraction to clock voices. For example, did your mother ever not wear a large clock mask while kissing your father? That could be detrimental to clock hots in later years.
Lobotomy should only be performed as a last resort or if you're particularly bored (no pun intended). This method was especially popular in newly post-WW2 America, but you appear to be from the EU, so the alternative practice employed at the time was chemical castration (a la Alan Turing). Lobotomy runs the risk of leaving its recipients severely disabled, driven to suicide, or dead. But, really, is a life without clock hots really worth living?
Anyway, gotta run. My clock is going into labor; I'm going to be a father!
Got a tip for us?

i'm looking for a sexy voice to read my time aloud

I'm super sensitive to sounds, there's so many people who I couldn't live with for an __hour__ because their voices are like nails-on-a-chalkboard. There's a person who occasionally shows up on one of my favorite podcasts, and I can't even listen to the episode ...
My wife however has an insanely sexy voice - seriously, people do not think about a significant others voice.

Unclear. We haven't seen him in 7 years.Your gonna spend too much time on your computer
It's possible, however unlikely that he evolved.
Agreed, our society is so focussed on the visual, on appearance, that the audio is dismissed (or ignored).
I'm pretty sensitive to sound, as well, and there are certain voices - and sounds - I cannot abide.
He likely has. Of course, as the universe likes to do often, he was replaced by a certain someone who makes threads like this with some regularity.
As the euphemism says, he may have taken a vacation from the forum.
However, I would also register doubts about his capacity for evolution.

Well somebody evolved. That's some avatar there on the newbie.
Weird. His profile isn't available. I'd say I wonder why, but I don't. We had the dude with the confederate flag go away and then come back. I feel like we didn't see the last of AcidFast in reality.
To keep this on topic, I can do a super-sexy voice.
Just sayin'.
Heh... any thread that manages to get resurrected after a nap that even Rip Van Winkle could go for, has a grip on MacRumors that no simple off-topic sidebar now and then is likely to dislodge.
Still trying to figure out what could possibly be sexy about any voice announcing the time of day on the quarter hour. Doesn't content matter any more at all?
I can maybe see wanting to get a Siri voice that is more to one's preference, depending on what one plans on asking Siri to do (and that's as far as I'm taking that train of thought).
But the time of day is the time of day. Imagine a sexy announcement that Flight 273 is now boarding. All you hear is the number, really. Who even remembers later if it was a male or female making the announcement?
So if an airline, having made such an announcement sound sexy enough that one does later remember the call to gather up carry-on baggage and head to the gate, all that really means is that one's entire trip must have been extremely boring. Similarly with a quarter-hourly libido boost via hearing the time of day... pathetic!
Actually, it may be that his vacation is of an unusually lengthy duration.
However, there is a distinction to be drawn between a "sexy" (or, even "super-sexy") voice and one that is attractive to one's ears.
