If you haven’t, you might want to try the default English voice as well.  I haven’t used most of the variants and dialects in E-Speak because I don’t like the voice.  But I wanted to discuss it because I didn’t know if you had tried it and it might be worth trying.

I agree the speak voices lack the body and do sound harsh, although I have to admit I did not seriously give all the English American voices a spin.  I will do that soon.

Mani

If you don’t know how to switch to it and try different  e-Speak voices, list members will tell you.
