People seem to speak extremely mechanically in these samples, which I suspect may lead to training bias against native as speech if used.

I think it should be explained that one should speak naturally when reading the lines.

Many people are also speaking very mechanically when they use a voice assistant, though ;) I believe we need a good mix, but telling people to speak a little more naturally certainly would help.
