Try the other voices.

Run espeak from the command line, try out the various voices and the
other options which also are available in the Asterisk-eSpeak espeak.conf
file until you find a combination which sounds OK.

Depending on your hardware and settings, you may need to have espeak
write its output to a file, and use another applicaion to play that.

The option space for espeak has large variability.

Flite also needs such tuning for nice output.
