🎤✨ 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!)
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 GENERATE TEST SAMPLES
+
+```bash
+cd /Users/davidkotnik/repos/novafarma/assets/audio/voiceover

+
+## ✅ FINAL RECOMMENDATION
+
+**Use these voices:**
+- **Kai:** `en-US-ChristopherNeural` (natural teen voice)
+- **Ana:** `en-US-AriaNeural` (expressive, emotional)
+- **Gronk:** `en-GB-RyanNeural` (keep - already good!)
