Yeah! I used to be a masters student for Alan Black (voice awb), and I persuaded him to let me record myself. it didn't take much because apparently not too many people want to sit in an airless soundproof both for several hours.
It's been a while (6 years?) since I used Flite on my phone, but I know you can download the voice files separately.

@laramar@sigmoid.social Oh, that's neat! Yeah, I understand you have to read a LOT of random text to get a decent sample set of all possible phonemes. I used to love playing with Macintalk on the classic Macs. Always thought it had a slight Indian accent ;)
