Inquiry about future Castilian Spanish voices from Spain

Hello LiveAvatar team,

I'm a developer currently integrating LiveAvatar into an Android application. I'm reaching out to inquire about the available Spanish voices. I've been testing all the different options and have identified some areas for improvement regarding native pronunciation of European Spanish (Castilian):

  • Some voices have a phonetic quality that resembles British English adapted to Spanish.
  • Others clearly correspond to Latin American variants.
  • The main issues I identify are in the pronunciation of the consonants R (especially the rolled R) and S (ceceo/seseo and clarity)

My specific question is: Are there any development plans to incorporate new voices with a focus on the phonetic quality of Peninsular Spanish? I understand that Castilian Spanish from Spain has distinctive characteristics, and it would be extremely valuable for projects targeting the Spanish market to have voices that faithfully reproduce these nuances.
I appreciate in advance any information you can share about the roadmap in this regard.

Best regards,
