Hello @David Pedersen
Thanks for reaching out to us for this issue, I have forwarded it to product team for evaluation. Personally, I agree with you. In the audio creation center, you can have tried with currently voices.
For workaround, currently you can use SSML to style your emotion as this documnent: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/speech-synthesis-markup?tabs=csharp#style
I hope this helps.
Please let us know if you need more help, we are glad to help.
