Test out OpenAI's voices, available through their API. The "vibe" option lets you describe the tone, voice, and delivery. These voices do better at emotions than many of the other AI voices.

The cost is lower than ElevenLabs, but you need to use the API for actual production. I assume they'll create a web interface for use at some point in the future. OpenAI is vague about the data used to train its voices, which I assume means they didn't pay to license voice actors like ElevenLabs does.
