Is two different AI voices that strange?
I can see using different voices to serve different purposes. If you're announcing that the course on stellar cartography is about to start in 5 minutes, you use one voice. If you're going to battle stations and you need to report to your post, you use another.
It just occurred to me the Cardassian dreadnought missile did not use the Cardassian computer voice from DS9 so multiple interface voices in service is not so unusual I suppose.
The only thing weird is the phrasing in the casting announcement.

That's because Torres got rid of the Cardassian computer voice because it annoyed her. She gave it her voice.
But yeah, having different computer voices shouldn't be a problem. We can do that today.
Can‘t check the episode itself right now, but Memory Alpha tells me that “A male voice was used instead of regular Cardassian computer voice actress Judi Durand on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine so as to be easily distinguishable from Roxann Dawson as the Maquis program voice.” So yeah, the Cardassian dreadnought did indeed have a difference voice than the computer on Deep Space Nine.
Starbase 74 in Season 1 perhaps, when the Enterprise-D arrives or afterwards?
That's quite possible. Just rewatched it: There are some original voice lines in there as well.
IIRC, in one of the alternate timelines, the voice was also male (Yesterday's Enterprise? Parallels? Future Imperfect? One of those...)
And of course in TOS there was that upgrade that made the computer flirty, dear...

I know in the Mirror Universe the Terran Empire starship computers speak in a male voice.
I love the scene in Manhunt where Lwaxana has an exchange with the computer. They certainly didn't feel the need to change the computer's voice. 
^Only if it's the exaggerated French accent from Stardust City Rag.
I have not yet recovered from the tentacles trauma of The OA but I'm glad to see Brit Marling join the cast.
For those who don't know The OA - it had a pretty amazing season one that also included Alice Krige and Jason Isaacs.
Edit: Oh, and I forgot Ian Alexander (Gray Tal on DSC) and Rosalind Chao in a guest role. Lots of trek actors on that one!)

Random question: does anybody know of any currently ongoing Podcasts that will be covering the show?
