Yeah, but Karen is a real name. I know someone named Karen. Is her own name offensive to her?

And there's also Karen.

The Karen are an ethnolinguistic group of Sino-Tibetan language-speaking peoples. The group as a whole is heterogeneous and disparate as many Karen ethnic groups do not associate or identify with each other culturally or linguistically.

It is a good suggestion, but it will take a while to even add 1 extra voice!

There is a voice like one of those. Squeak sounds like Ivy.

100% suppport. Would add more variaty to scratch, and allow scraatchers who don't want to use their real voice or their mic is bad to have some customizability.

I have a somewhat bad mic (and a somewhat bad voice for that matter

) but I think that bad voice acting, if you're even trying in the slightest, is still much better than using the say blocks or especially the TTS blocks.

The one I want the most is Daniel - it is the ‘MLG’ voice and is very funny. I don’t think all of these should be implemented as there is to many, but a few decent ones like Daniel should.

I would want that voice to be named “Danny”.

I Support this. I'm currently making a project that requires a “Robotic” voice, and the given TTS options are VERY limited. Putting in sound clips from an external generator takes up a LOT of space

Here's the project mentioned: https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/projects/496609077/

Maybe they can do Cartoon Network characters as they collaborated with CN.

They would either need to sample voice acting for all the hundreds of phonemes needed to Frankenstein a TTS or use an AI, both of which aren't the best, and I'm not sure whether CN would like an official way to let the internet make their character say whatever they want.

There are plenty of other TTS voices they can use but I'm not sure where to find them. I can't even find one good TTS website that lets you download the audio.

I think that you should provide examples of how they would sound. Otherwise, I support the idea.
