Hey - I'm trying to integrate different voices/accents into my Interactive Avatars via API.

I'm calling the list-voices API from my app.

https://docs.heygen.com/reference/list-voices-v2

But...

The API returns data in the following format:

  {
    "voice_id": "e17b99e1b86e47e8b7f4cae0f806aa78",
    "language": "English",
    "gender": "Male",
    "name": "Liam - Professional",
    "preview_audio": "https://static.heygen.ai/voice_preview/8sg49P4MFQnpDvpRkaR6M9.wav",
    "support_pause": true,
    "emotion_support": false,
    "support_interactive_avatar": true
  },

It says

"language": "English",

But....

How do I find voices with an English (UK) accent vs American?

All the voices listed with language = english appear to be American accents.

On the front end, https://app.heygen.com/voices, I see a filter for "accents".

I can narrow the list to voices with an English UK accent. The problem is that when I x-ref the list-voices API, they all seem to be support_interactive_avatar": false.

I've just spent about two hours trying to find an English (UK) accent voice. It seems impossible.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Please advise.
