from gtts import gTTS tts = gTTS(text="Hello", lang="en") # always the default voice (female) The only reliable way is to switch to a different TTS engine or post-process the audio (pitch shifting). Here’s a clean Python approach using pydub to lower the pitch of the GTTS output, making it sound more masculine. Step-by-step male voice transformation: from gtts import gTTS from pydub import AudioSegment from pydub.effects import speedup import io def gtts_male_voice(text, lang='en', pitch_semi= -3): # Generate normal GTTS audio tts = gTTS(text, lang=lang) fp = io.BytesIO() tts.write_to_fp(fp) fp.seek(0) lang=lang) fp = io.BytesIO() tts.write_to_fp(fp) fp.seek(0)
