Assistant's Voice

I've never understood why there are only a handful of voices available for assistant. Why isn't there a choice for British Male, or even better a slider to tailor the sound of assistant's voice?

@Chefhannibal

According to this thread, your choices of voices depends on the language you choose, including English(US) vs. English(UK): https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Speakers-and-Displays/How-do-I-pick-a-foreign-voice/m-p/259783/highlight/true

This article says: "Google has 10 voices available for English speakers in the U.S. There are six female and four male voices to choose from. The male voices are called Orange, Green, Blue, and Pink. The female voices are called Red, Amber, Cyan, Purple, British Racing Green, and Sydney Harbour Blue. Most of these voices are American accented, but they include one British (British Racing Green), and one Australian (Sydney Harbour Blue) accented option. Google sometimes includes an extra option with the voice of a celebrity. John Legend and Issa Rae are two past celebrities featured." https://www.androidpolice.com/how-to-change-voice-google-assistant/
