  OK, my first attempt at turning a story I wrote in a book into an animation. Check it out. Link below in case embed doesn't play. I made it unlisted but can share the link. Not sure embed still works though.

  You might benefit from some reading and comprehension lessons.
  That story is an autobiography of Vic's life.

  I read/listened to Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar using the female Microsoft text-to-speech voice. It was awesome. That voice will always be quirky Sylvia Plath's voice to me.

  Yeah, my one dislike is the monotoneness of Text to Speech voices. Adding pauses here and there makes it better. But you only can do so much. I think this story is much better read than put into an animation. Just tried to give it a shot.

  Eventually they'll have the technology to sample/record just a tiny bit of your voice and accurately reproduce your spoken sound across the entire voice range in text2voice programs.

  So I need to ask, what do you like and what do you not like about this? Did the voice interfere with the text, or did you laugh at all, feel sad at all. Again, it's a better story just read.

  A lot of it is kinda parallel to my life experiences...all the way from working in grungy factories to making a good chunk of my living with a camera...and staying single as much as possible.

  The voice was a big distraction for me, but saying that, I watched the whole thing.

  Yeah, it seems like for computer-generated Text to Speech voices you can take them in short spurts, not full long sentences. Pausing seems to help.
  
  There are several male voices, might try two others I've narrowed it down to. One is a smoother British voice, other is kind of a soft self-degrading male voice, which may work for this.
