British vs American pronunciation

I’m using Natalie and I want the American ‘T’ to be pronounced as British ‘T’… e.g. British rather than Bridish.

I recall doing this previously but can’t find any way to do it now.
Anyone know how?

Sometimes it puts in a “DH” phoneme. Try changing it to a “T” phoneme.

We probably need phoneme charts for the various English accents: Canadian, South African, Australian, etc. This probably also applies to other languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish.

At the moment, I am struggling to create an authentic Brazilian Portuguese accent. I guess a lot of these details could be easily sorted if we always go back to the basic rules of pronunciation.

not sure if something like the lists here: Phonemic Inventories and Cultural and Linguistic Information Across Languages meets the needs

That must have been what I did last time.

The phoneme chart is your friend😁

You could try to give the t sound a longer note value or adding more emphasis using at the bottom of the Voice panel

I’m usually going the opposite direction, but you can always try alternate words if there is more than one syllable - sometimes even nonsensical ones work.

brih - tish
brit - ish
brit - tish
bri - tish
etc.
