Nope, still sounds artificial to me. Inflections are all over the map on the 2 naration samples and make it sound like bad editing. The pacing is just odd in the VocalID ad samples.

Sorry, I might be a bit biased as I know several voice actors, and have routinely work with vocal tracks in the edit bay. We would be having a field day with the jokes if asked to use any of this.

Totally agree. I have 0 experience in this but they sound super robotic to me. No character, no charm, no excitement or emotion or anything human. No ummmms or uhs or laughs or pauses to breathe.

It's a better robot voice sure, why not sell it as such? Selling this as human is harmful to the industry reputation and also plainly ridiculous.

But is it good enough? That is the question.

The first word in my comment. Nope.
