🎤✨ BETTER VOICES - More Natural Quality!
✅ REGENERATED ALL 20 VOICES: - Kai: en-US-ChristopherNeural (was GuyNeural) → Natural teen voice, less robotic → Warm, authentic delivery - Ana: en-US-AriaNeural (was JennyNeural) → Expressive, emotional → More natural intonation - Gronk: en-GB-RyanNeural (KEPT - already good!) ✅ OLD VOICES BACKED UP: - Moved to assets/audio/voiceover/_OLD_ROBOTIC/ - Can restore if needed ✅ VOICE GUIDE CREATED: - BETTER_VOICE_OPTIONS.md - Testing recommendations - Edge-TTS voice comparisons RESULT: Much more natural sounding intro dialogue! 🎆

# 🎤 BETTER VOICE OPTIONS - Testing Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## Current Issue:
|
||||
Voices sound too robotic/AI-generated
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution:
|
||||
Test multiple Edge-TTS voices to find most natural sounding
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🎙️ VOICE OPTIONS TO TEST
|
||||
|
||||
### **KAI (Young Male, 14 years old)**
|
||||
|
||||
**Current:** `en-US-GuyNeural` (energetic but robotic)
|
||||
|
||||
**Better alternatives:**
|
||||
1. `en-US-ChristopherNeural` - Young, warm, natural
|
||||
2. `en-US-EricNeural` - Teen friendly, less robotic
|
||||
3. `en-US-RogerNeural` - Mature teen voice
|
||||
4. `en-GB-RyanNeural` - UK teen, authentic
|
||||
|
||||
**Best choice:** `en-US-ChristopherNeural` (most natural for teen)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### **ANA (Young Female, 14 years old - twin)**
|
||||
|
||||
**Current:** `en-US-JennyNeural` (warm but AI-ish)
|
||||
|
||||
**Better alternatives:**
|
||||
1. `en-US-AriaNeural` - Natural, expressive
|
||||
2. `en-US-SaraNeural` - Youthful, authentic
|
||||
3. `en-GB-SoniaNeural` - UK accent, warm
|
||||
4. `en-US-MichelleNeural` - Soft, emotional
|
||||
|
||||
**Best choice:** `en-US-AriaNeural` (most expressive/natural)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### **GRONK (Deep UK voice)**
|
||||
|
||||
**Current:** `en-GB-RyanNeural` (good!)
|
||||
|
||||
**Keep or try:**
|
||||
1. `en-GB-ThomasNeural` - Deeper, gruffer
|
||||
2. `en-AU-WilliamNeural` - Aussie deep voice
|
||||
|
||||
**Best choice:** Keep `en-GB-RyanNeural` (already good!)
