🗣️ Change default voice for MacOS 'say' command to Siri Voice 1

Change the default voice to "Siri Voice 1" in System Settings - then your say MacOS command will sound more appealing (less robotic).

1. Open System Settings
2. Search for "Voice Live Speach":
3. Click the ℹ️ icon near "System Voice":
4. Click the arrow ➡️ near "Voice" in the new window:
5. Search for "Siri":
6. And click the download icon 🌩️ near the Voice 1 (IMHO the best, feel free to choose your preferred one)
7. Click the arrow back ⬅️ in the top:
8. Then click "Done" in the bottom corner:

That's it 😉
