  • Australian English children voices Liam and Olivia
  • UK English children voices Harry and Rosie, plus character voice “Queen Elizabeth”
  • US English children voices Ella, Josh, Emilia and Valerio, teenage voice Scott, character voices Saul, Micah, “Little Creature” and “Old Man”. We also added High-Quality voice Laura.
