The voice actors usually try to match the timing of the mouth flaps in the animation. It's hard to do that while also conveying the meaning of what is said correctly (enough) -- and practically impossible to do that while sounding natural in English too.
obligatory HN a*hole comment: I hate every single one of these voices and the fact that the women look like children vs the men. A weird aesthetic all-in-all.
All but one of the voices sounds tinny. The timing and cadence was good though.
Is this intended for anime autodubbing? There's only one voice (Rowan) that is remotely traditional broadcaster-style.
You know, I never did find out why people dub anime with such unnatural voices.

That doesn't help for sure, but the intonation is ... odd.
Why did you pick such creepy voices? They are very childlike and weird.
They're definitely anime-style voices, though most of the female ones are very annoying. I couldn't stand to watch an anime with them.
They just sound like anime voices
Right, I’ve never seen an anime, probably for exactly this reason.
There are good ones without the stereotypical voices, I recommend Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.
This is cool! What model are you using?
Thanks! Airy runs on a proprietary TTS model that we built in-house, rather than a third-party model.
Wow! Well done that's really impressive.
Great, Working fast and cool. You can also try to adding some more voices from different parts of the world.
