Getting Matilda to pronounce "Executor" Properly.
PLEASE HELP!
Matilda is my Go-To but I am having a heck of a time trying to get her to say "executor" as in the executor of a will. I have tried SSML
<speak>
<phoneme alphabet="ipa" ph="ɛɡˈzɛkjʊtɚ">executor</phoneme>
</speak> (This is ignored altogether and silence is inserted.)
and
<speak>
<emphasis level="strong">exECutor</emphasis>
</speak> (here she says egzecuTOR with an asian accent.)
as well as numerous phonetical spellings but she just ignores them.
interestingly, I tried Aria, Emily, Elli, Jessica, Sarah, Rachel and several others, all pronounce it properly. just Matilda who I am using on a very big project and the client loves her.
HOW DO I FIX THIS???

Hi RobSkeet,
I replied to your post here! Please let me know if that helps.
Where did she go? Someone on my team needs to use Matilda American voice and its no longer available. There is now a Matilda Australian voice. I can still use it in my files but someone that hasn't used her before can't. She is still in Elevenlabs.
American Matilda is part of the new AI Voices not the original TTS. I just checked and yes, she's still there. if SL can do more voices like Matilda, the VO world is toast (I hate to say)
