I cannot change Alexa voice at all, much less for reading. I do have some foreign language books, presumably that voice is different (if it works at all) but then of course I'd need to have better skills to understand it.
There is a Help topic that says that you can change the Alexa voice using the Alexa app. However, none of my Alexa devices (3 Fire tablets and a Fire TV) show such an option. I'm guessing that you need a newer Echo to be able to do it.
The odd part about Amazon Polly is that the APIs let you select voices easily:
