The voices are defined in configuration.json,
if you want to install more voices,
you need to reference new voice in its own lang-gender property.
If you not sure about the voice name, list voices with the command option -s

python3 tts_engine.py --text 'Esto es una prueba' --lang es --gender male

You can modify current voices, download more for current and other languages simply installing them (usually are packaged in .deb), or extracting its content in festival system folder.
