#13Great, Working fast and cool. You can also try to adding some more voices from different parts of the world.

The voice actors usually try to match the timing of the mouth flaps in the animation. It's hard to do that while also conveying the meaning of what is said correctly (enough) -- and practically impossible to do that while sounding natural in English too.

That doesn't help for sure, but the intonation is ... odd.

#17All but one of the voices sounds tinny. The timing and cadence was good though.
Is this intended for anime autodubbing? There's only one voice (Rowan) that is remotely traditional broadcaster-style.

#20As with seemingly all AI these days - it seems to fail with prosody and simply speaks the very next word with zero regard to the nuance or cadence that author intended, or an understanding of any the words being spoken.
When AI achieves the ability to deliver some of Shakespeare’s greatest soliloquies or monologues, then I’ll pay attention.
