Hello. I've been using the Ryan Multinlingual Voice for a couple months now and it was consistent. Today, I was using it again and I heard a completely different voice. I previewed the Ryan Multilingual voice and it had the same voice as before, but when I selected it and used it, the voice sounded Australian. Is this a bug or did the voice just get updated? If so, why? The voice is completely different now for no reason.

It seems that the Ryan Multilingual Voice has undergone some updates recently. According to the release notes, en-US-RyanMultilingualNeural is now generally available in all regions, which may include changes to its characteristics or voice quality. It's possible that these updates have affected the voice output you are experiencing, leading to a different sound quality or accent.
If the voice now sounds Australian, it could be due to enhancements or adjustments made to the voice model. Such changes are not uncommon as voice synthesis technology evolves and improves.
I hope this helps you. Thank you.

2025-02-01T05:16:19.8666667+00:00 I see. Is it possible to revert it back to the old voice? That one had a much better voice, speaking speed, etc. I noticed all the other voices have very long pauses inbetween sentences as well.

2025-02-04T16:50:50.0866667+00:00 I understand your concern regarding the voice quality and speaking speed. Unfortunately, I do not have the capability to change or revert the voice settings directly. However, you may adjust the voice settings in the Azure Translator service or any other text-to-speech service you are using. These settings typically allow you to select different voices, adjust speaking speed, and modify other parameters to better suit your preferences.
I hope these helps you. Thank you!
