Over the years I've noticed that much of Japanese video content is presented in the format of a dialogue between two anime girl pngs using text to speech voices as opposed to just some guy appearing on camera or narrating whatever the video is about.

Like if you wanted to watch a review of a new monitor, it would be one anime character explaining the pros and cons to another character

Is it a greater cultural preference for anonymity, or are people just more likely to ingest information if it's presented by Touhou characters? Note that I'm not talking about Vtubers here, this trend is much older and covers pretty much all possible video topics

    Is there one that instead of TTS it records me talking in microphone and removes my accent or outputs another voice?

      Like live? I think voice changers have been a thing for a while now. I imagine you could also use an AI voice generator to generate speech for videos

        Zen uses standard TTS as far as I know (technically, speech-to-text -> text-to-speech) which is why there's a significant delay.
