Okay, hear me out.
The only thing I miss in VA since I ditched Alexa is the thing when Alexa was whispering to you, if you whisper at it.
I would love to have TTS service with whispering voice. Then I'd switch to that voice at night, when kids are sleeping.
Couldn't find anything - probably it's somewhere over there already?

Think the closest thing that can do this is kokoro, but it'd need a Wyoming wrapper. But i think it supports whispering effects

Well i'm ok with completely different model, that is only whispering. I'm just curious if there is one... But Kokoro is great tool!

Seems someone has already started working in this
Reading into it more, i don't really see how you'd make this whisper. Might be a particular voice model that does it..
Ok so if you go to https://kokorottsai.com/ and use the Nicole voice, it whispers sort of

Spun up kokoro, but can't hear anything. Will dig.

So it doesn't work from satellite, but works from "Try voice" in pipeline editor...

Clear tts cache maybe?

so I spun up the docker, it's a bit buggy. When I went to try the af_heeart voice for instance it breaks with an error in the logs

but I tried the af_bella and af_nicole voices and they both worked for me on my Voice PE
