Hi - I can't find British Accents that work with the interactive avatar.

What I'm doing:

1 - I'm scrolling through app.heygen.com/voices

2 - Finding voices with a "British Flag" - Assuming these are British sounding, although some are dubious.

3 - Grabbing voice ID

4 - Passing this into the API

5 - Every single time I get:

{"code":"voice_not_support","message":"streaming avatar not support this voice"}

This is being made harder by the fact that when I call: api.heygen.com/v2/voices

Every single voice shows as:

"support_interactive_avatar": false,

Previously, this was showing some as true, but it seems recently every single voice shows as false.

It's incredibly time-consuming to go through the front end to find a "British" accented voice and then test it to see if it works.

Short term - I need one male and one female British-accented voice that works with Interactive Avatars - Can you give voice id's?

Longer term - I (and likely others) need a programmatic way to get voices that work with Interactive Avatar and filter by accent (or pass in the locale, which I notice can be done here on recorded avatars - api.heygen.com/v2/voices/locales

My current workaround involves importing Elevenlabs voices with British Accents, which incurs an extra cost and complexity in my implementation. I would prefer to use HeyGen out of the box without the extra 11labs integration!
