hi there, I am using the text to speech to generate audio with Matthew US neural voice.
\n
SSML and the fine-tuning of the closed captions are a very good progress in terms of features and customisation options.
\n
A general issue I find is that when using the following SSML tag the voice changes. Example
\n
<say-as interpret-as=\"characters\">ABC</say-as>
\n
Matthew's voice changes into a different male voice.
\n
Is this normal behaviour?
\n
Thanks
\n
Bobby

\nI'm seeing a similar issue. I've been experiencing issues where some other male voices are changing and they end up sounding exactly like the Matthew voice. In some cases, the audio will start out with the selected voice, then suddenly change to the Matthew voice. I've seen this both with and without SSML tags.
