I took the top 3 vote getters, found 2 voices on Eleven Labs which sounded like those a bit, and added one wild card, to make the original 7 I had in that video.
Easier to not alter the video, other than to change the voices and the vote signs!

I like the voices that are lower in pitch. It has been proven that people (men and women) tune out higher pitched voices imparting information. I think “Mother” is my most preferred. It also has more self-assuredness, unlike “Desdemona” which was the worst voice to my ear for this purpose.
I like the higher pitched voices, particularly Sneha.
The last voice, Victoria, has the best expression, in my opinion. The voice isn’t too high or too low, and not super super british.
Oddly, someone on instagram just commented that Desdemona was the “most natural voice”.
Maybe it’s like Gurdjieff’s failed attempt to prove music was the universal language?
He found that it was pretty much all cultural. Couldn’t even find a single significant commonality.
So that the “sexy saxophone” didn’t have that meaning at all, to someone from outside Hollywood influenced countries.
Though Gurdjieff was still an ugly con artist who still has unusual appeal to fake magic people.
Maybe because he “cashed in” with nothing at all?
Like Krishnamurti.
Private class people fell for Krishnamurti!
Yet he had one of the oldest Chinese tricks in the book.
The one Daoism uses. And Confucianism also to a lesser extent.
The appeal to greedy, lazy angry people.
“If you could only understand this, you’d be a superior being like me. But you can’t possibly get it!”
It’s the “one thing only” success.
I suppose Buddhism uses it too, with the concept of sudden enlightenment.
The Zen master slams the gate and cuts off your arm at just the right moment, and you reach enlightenment.
It’s a very sad belief system.
That there’s actually no work to be done, to become “perfect”.
Fairy is likely at least a billion years old…
If she came from this world, we might say 2 billion.
But she comes from very far away.
It’s funny you talk about music, because it sefinitely is the most culturally dependant as well as illusionary. The Western scale has 12 tones. If one grows up listening to that, they have problems hearing the beauty in the expanded Indian scale with it’s quarter tones and micro-tones.
Surprising to me is, the emanations respond to singing.
Or chanting.
I guess that’s not so surprising.
I can’t remember what this is “Rule #1” of (maybe ‘reality’) but there’s only the emanations, and awareness.
There’s nothing else.
Not time, not space, and certainly no physical matter.
Those are illusions created by how the emanations interact with each other.
The “harmonics” I like to say.
How one string next to another can cause it to vibrate also.
So singing is just as strong of an influence as the “tendon energy” in some Tensegrity forms.
That might imply music could also affect darkroom, but the problem with that is, it also aggravates our internal dialogue.
Maybe that’s the reason Carlos would do a fake “shudder” when describing the effect some music had on him.
Like 1939 tango.
But then he had Silvio doing the tango around him.
Still it could be, in the absence of an internal dialogue, you can see what effect music has on how awareness is distributed in the currently glowing bundle of emanations.
The assemblage point does not in fact need to move at all, in order to select a different bundle of emanations (reality).
We might be able to make use of that some day!
But someone would need to “see” it.
Then see how people’s activities alter it, even without the assemblage point obviously moving.
Could be possible that you could switch which sense you are paying attention to, and cause minor alterations in the currently active bundle.
And once you “saw” that, it might be possible to invent an entirely different sorcery practice.
“Will manipulation” perhaps.
Will of course just zeros in on the final result, and so it goes with a movement of the assemblage point.
But couldn’t it zero in on a different final result, at the same precise assemblage point position?
Creepy… Perhaps that’s what “phantom” things are.
I like the Angela Lansbury one…Cecile? But then Mother came along.
Two is fine. Maybe more useful in the long run than a single pick.
I’m very pleased with the voices.
I was thinking in terms of having a lot less talking by the characters in future cartoons, due to how hard it is to get human narrators.
But not anymore!!!
Darned AI.
I saw a movie “Heart of Stone” that was about how dangerous a super advanced quantum computer would be.
If you had one with an internet connection, you could instantly find anything, anyone, and kill them too.
Because a super powerful quantum computer could break all known encryption.
And scan many trillions of “data points” in an instant, the way ChatGPT does.
So it could instantly solve any problem, simulate it, locate key elements, and hack into anything that has a connection to any network.
It’s actually quite true.
Good thing the I/O issues with Quantum computers currently have no solution.
You can computer as fast as you like, but if you can’t get new data in or out at that speed, it’s nearly irrelevant.
Cecile, then Mature Brit for me
The Desdemona and Mother voices are sleepy. The longer I listen to them, the more I feel like nodding off.
Sneha is really clear and easy to understand, and I like how the accent is more vague! 
When I go through the breath change, it sounds like a growling snore which vibrates the solar plexus. Humming is very grounding if nervous, but it doesn’t rely on pitch or tone. It is just a sound of whatever resonance the breath is comfortable making.
I have played around with music and the Dsrkroom and have found that playing certain music before entering helps loosen my AP. I would darken my kitchen, dance, and perform Tensegrity before going full Darkroom.
One day, I went into the DarkRoom and was already seeing red zone sights like these white palm frond leave things overhead and layers of red hexagon grids with the music still playing. It seemed to help set up moving the AP.
The other experiment was with tapping my fingers on my stomach to make beats. It was hypnotic and helped move the AP down if I was able to not be distracted by it, but less reliable.
Victoria or Sneha are most appealing for me.
I see what you’re saying but musicians such as Ravi Shankar, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (just to name two of the well-known) and others have large audiences among Western people. That very complexity you mentioned is indeed incredibly beautiful. Almost haunting, certainly mesmerizing, my Canadian ears find their music so very lovely. Full of depth and novelty, to many it’s alluring because it’s so richly layered…like their food, their myths, languages, history, culture.
I enjoy the music not only of India, but Classical Japanese music and singing. It is great to listen to, but I challenge you to turn it off and try to reproduce the exact melodies, and you will quickly see how engrained the Western scale is into your brain. Or try beating out a 10 beat Indian rhythm on your leg without counting. You will find yourself slipping back into what is culturally familiar unless you are trained. That was my point.
Ah. Well, that point wasn’t clear in the comment I was replying to.
Now that you’ve clarified, I’d have to agree that this is the case. All good. 
Yay!
I was beginning to feel slighted, because the old woman didn’t get picked.
Like when Little Smoke ditched me for 22 year olds.
Didn’t want to put more effort into someone who wouldn’t last very long.
