@Tex2002ans - A properly trained voice can project as a male, female, old, young, or foreign whether it be a male or female. I saw three young women do Copenhagen a couple of years ago, just as good maybe better than first time I saw it, and certainly better than the Cumberbatch, Scacchi, and I forget who TV movie. Many years ago I saw two women do an excellent Godot - one might have been Judy Davis, or maybe it was Scaachi, but not Blanchette - too long ago.
TTS Book reading should sound like its being read by a single person, one with the ability to adopt subtly different voices both in the narrative and dialogue. If you were to start using entirely different voices you would end up with a play with lot's of narration - it won't work.
