Why talkey won't change its voice?

Question

I'm trying to change my espeak voice through Talkey, but it does not work.

First, I searched for the portuguese voices available with

espeak --voices=pt

And I got the following results:

Pty Language Age/Gender VoiceName          File          Other Languages
 5  pt-br          M  brazil               pt            (pt 5)
 5  pt-pt          M  portugal             europe/pt-pt  (pt 6)
 7  pt             M  brazil-mbrola-1      mb/mb-br1
 7  pt             M  brazil-mbrola-3      mb/mb-br3
 7  pt             F  brazil-mbrola-4      mb/mb-br4
 7  pt             F  portugal-mbrola-1    mb/mb-pt1

Then I followed the docs example and tried to change for a female voice, so I could notice the difference

 tts = talkey.Talkey(                                                                                                                             
     preferred_languages = ['pt'],                                                                                                                
     engine_preference = ['espeak'],                                                                                                              
     espeak = {                                                                                                                                   
         'options':{                                                                                                                              
             'enabled':True,                                                                                                                      
         },                                                                                                                                       

         'languages':{                                                                                                                            
             'pt': {                                                                                                                              
                 'voice': 'brazil-mbrola-4'                                                                                                                
             },                                                                                                                                   
         }                                                                                                                                        
     }                                                                                                                                            
 )

I tried changing for both brazil-mbrola-4 and mb-br4 but nothing worked. Can someone help me?

Hmm, it didn't. I just added it, but the voice still won't change — Giovana Morais, Jan 20 '18 at 13:58
Are there are errors logged at stdout? Even when mbrola is manually copied https://askubuntu.com/questions/554747/how-to-install-more-voices-to-espeak still getting errors here `mbrola: FATAL ERROR : cannot find file /usr/share/mbrola/voices/br4 !`, though the audio is output — guest271314, Jan 20 '18 at 15:48
