Great points Tommy! I think it depends on the audience that you are designing content for. I would suggest using your own voice for adult learners as we tend to zone out quickly to the sound of a robotic voice. However, maybe text-to-speech is more suitable for younger audiences like K-12 education. What are your thoughts?

I agree it could be more suitable for younger children, however from a pedagogical standpoint a real voice with some childish humor and happy tone-set would be way better.
TTS just isn't good enough yet to be comfortable to listen to for human beings, especially not for hours.
I can understand using it for translation-purposes, but it should be avoided as much as possible.
