Request: Add a Voice with Grit—Think Judi Dench, Sam Elliot, Not Siri

Hey OpenAI team—

Would love to see a raspy, older voice option in the lineup.

Something with grit, wisdom, and soul—like Judi Dench or Sam Elliott. Not every use case needs a polished 25-year-old narrator. Sometimes the moment calls for texture and depth. You know someone who’s seen life.

Appreciate the incredible work you’re doing.

Who else is with me on requesting some new voices who’ve seen the world — Say :woman_raising_hand:t2:

I played with this a while ago, I wanted to convert it to onnx voice to use it with piper, but couldn’t make it.

I didn’t even know there was such a thing. Thanks, going to try to find one and fiddle around. If it works, I’ll drop a link back in here.
