...actually no.
That is because trying to set those variations is exactly part of the danger. I still remember making an appointment at an apple store to test their ios voices at the time, and passing out when we tried. and of course, before the parameters could even be tested, one must install Linux using the default, and dangerous voices. It is unfortunate that the dectalk32 which gw micro provided for window eyes was not kept for expansive digital use. Or that greater attention has not been paid to keeping Linux working with a greater variety of hardware synthesizers in graphics was not done.
There is not even a console driver for my synthesizer in Linux.
still, going to hospital while I try and set parameters is not a risk I wish to make.

Espeak does have parameters to adjust the frequency of the voices.
I'm not saying you should use espeak, or like it, but It's probably easy
to make it less dangerous, and possibly even to make it safe for you.
