Hi,
Try Acapela, it's the best set of voices out there I think.
All the best

Hello Quentin,
With regard to your question about other TTS engines, I too have seen
many in the store but didn't actually try them out.
I however previously installed the Svox Classic tts and used the
Victoria UK voice. I got tired of that voice after purchasing it and
so have abandoned it.
I currently rely solely on the UK voice that came with the Pico TTS.
Thank you.
