My question is: I'd like to add a couple male voices to my list of available voices. I know you have a link when you open VA under VA/options, System/advance and where it says. " Click here to learn about alternate speech engines that you may be able to install and use with VA". and then you click " Click here to browse the Microsoft speech platform runtime speech engine" it give a list of available voices but they are ALL female. Where can I download a couple Male voices?

Ivona Voices are the best. I use Joey - American, and Brian UK voices. I've heard other voices by other companies, but when your actually using the voices they tend to glitch on words, which keeps reminding you that they are computer voices. Ivona voices rarely if ever do this. Though I'm not really a fan of their female voices.
The link below will take you to the Ivona voices. There, you can get a 30 day trial on whatever voice you would like to try out.

The voices sound better, when you speed them up a 1 or 2 points. In the demo, it's like they are talking in slow motion.
