Advanced voice control for Silero TTS

Additional voice controls for Silero TTS

I've tried elevenlabs today, and they produce very good sounding characters pretty quickly. Would it be possible to have similar options?
It would be very cool to have more control over the voice generation using silero_tts.

1. Gender
2. Age
3. Accent
4. Accent strength

Also it would be very nice to have any sort of description for the TTS voice presets, I've spent at least 5 hours today figuring out the differences between all of the TTS presets and think I got through only about a half of them. Their names are very non descriptive.
Also there's no voice generation for when the bot does some action, while it makes sense on some level, I think it would be much better if the voice would be generated for everything then tex gen produces. May be this could be optional?

Gotta check later for voice control, but voiceover for
*Asterix-enclosed actions*
is a nice and easily-made feature

This is how they are doing the voice control at Eleven Labs, in case you'll be looking into it, or if you haven't seen it already.

Would implementation of a some type of the voice preset pipeline be too difficult or time consuming?
I don't really know myself, but I would guess that it would be possible to have at least some control over it, like Temperature or Seed, or something similar.
I realize that this is text-generation-webui, but I would assume that a fair amount people would be interested in such enhancements for their bots.

I'm not sure if silero is your game for that. Tortoise MRQ might be able to, though, and that's in a PR here

I would like to try it, but I can't seem to find it in the available extensions list, am I missing something?

I can only assume you didn't read or don't know what PR means. It's a pull request, which means it's not in the main repository yet. It's where people write a feature and ask for it to be included

I thought it could mean a pull request, wasn't sure though, still new to this. I though it was possible that I just didn't understand something.
Can't wait to try this new extension, though, hope it will be in the main repository soon!
