So basically, if you like me, I use a 3rd party TTS program, but it doesn't have the text to speech voices I want like SAM and stuff, how about we fix the problem, by adding like more text to speech voices and stuff, tone, pitch, and speed, maybe we can bring in like the MLG/Meme text to speech, Daniel (I think it was Daniel?) I'm just saying that the Text-To-Speech options we have now are pretty limited to be honest.
If this gets rejected or something, that's kind of understandable, making text to speech options takes lots of time, hopefully you understand my request,
have a good day/night!

Support, I use text to speech in my animations, and would love some more options to it. 
tone, pitch, and speedI need this for when characters are yelling, so this is helpful too.

Honestly, adding more voices would be awesome I agree—
I dunno if it’d be X voice specifically, though if you do feel limited by a voice, there is a way to also get an accent for the voice:
set language to (any language besides English v)(Excuse the colors being butchered since it’s 2.0 blocks and all-)
insert scratch tts blocks here/voice/etc
say (according to all known laws of aviation...)
Using a language besides English in the TTS block stuff but WITH English/native language text gives an accent to go on top of the voice choice, so at least I hope this can give you a LITTLE more variety—
(And if you want an outside source there is always phone TTS you could record through a microphone, Daniel is part of the iphone’s for example! :3)
anyway I hope this helped enjoy your day lol

Support! It would be great for Scratchers to have more options for TTS voices in projects, especially for animations or games with lots of spoken dialogue. While 3rd-party TTS is an option, it has to be recorded and imported as sound files, which the Scratch editor doesn't handle particularly well when there are lots of them - another reason why it would be great for spoken-text-diversity to be included in the current TTS feature
