Very handy generator with the freedom to remove what you don't need and add in your own custom descriptors/names/voice types. Personally don't use the pitch changes as much (Perhaps a failing on my part), but the ability to take those out of the generation and insert my own style of noting voices was a wonderful touch.

This generator hits the sweet spot for me. Just enough detail to run with, but not so much that it slows me down. I love the prompts for the voice and style of speech. I've tried lots of other NPC generators, even built a few of my own, but I think this is my favorite.
