Why is my phone talking to me?

I assume that I have changed some setting somewhere on my Samsung Galaxy S3, but my phone is now telling me every time an email arrives ("One new email") and it is getting annoying. I have tried to find a setting to turn it off, but have not found anything and I cannot figure out what I have changed because it did not do this a couple of days ago.

I have looked through the Settings display but can find nothing that mentions voice notifications. I have looked for a Notifications control but have found nothing. I have looked at the Voice controls but do not see anything that mentions voice notification.

Perhaps there was an update that was automatically installed that turned on this annoying feature. Perhaps there is some setting that I have changed. Perhaps something automatically changed the setting, but the notification is so annoying that I want to turn the volume all the way down. There must be some way to turn it off.

Can anyone help me? Thanks.
