English (UK) accent in Text-to-Avatar just serves up US accent.

[simon_6307]

In trying to create a Text-to-Avatar video, the 'English (UK)' accent selection just gives a US English accent, either identical or 99% the same. Is this just a bug in beta or is there a work-around to get this UK accent working? All other languages/accents seem to be working even the Indian English.

Text to avatar audio just serves up US accent. I want to use Spanish (Argentina) and English (UK). You can only use US accent

I changed the setting to English UK accent but my video (costing 3650 credits!!!) was returned with US accent! That's basically theft. There is clearly a bug that caused this, but I need my credits returned too.

Great addition to the overall portfolio in Firefly; however, for whatever reason, the past option doesn't work, and I can only type or upload my text.  Also, it would be helpful to have a British accent for English as a voice choice.

Please fix the English UK accent, it just uses the US accent model.
