Alistair, narrated presentations in a British male voice
Alistair grades D on the published list, C target quality, 10 to 100 minutes of audio. Our note gives him narrated presentations: slide decks read aloud, one section per slide. No recipe we kept includes him, so the pairings below are ones to try.

Three samples, three registers
- Listen for whether a presentation voice stays even on description.
- Listen for how he reads figures, since decks are full of them.
- Listen for whether the formal register loosens.
On the record
A D grade with a presentation note
Of the four British male voices, Rory and Edmund grade C, Callum D+, and Alistair D: C-quality audio measured in minutes. The list grades data; the accent and the delivery are for your ear.
Our note points him at presentations, which means numbered sections, figures, and headings. A heading followed by a pause tag keeps the sections apart in the audio and the subtitles.
Length the engine likes. The published guidance puts the sweet spot at roughly 100 to 200 tokens, a few sentences; very short lines are the weak spot and very long ones can rush.

FAQ
Questions about Alistair
What does Alistair's D grade mean?
It is the published estimate of training data: C-quality audio in the 10 to 100 minute band. It says nothing about the accent or the delivery.
How do I keep slides separate in the audio?
End each slide's text with a blank line or a pause tag of about a second. The subtitle cues then break where the slides do.
Can Alistair read figures and percentages?
Numbers read as spoken in English. Run Tidy up script to spell out symbols and units, or use the Pronounce as tag.
Is a presentation voiced by Alistair free to use at work?
Yes. Standard voice output carries commercial rights on every plan, with no watermark.
