I don't know if y'all would be able to do this. But if y'all could add a pitch corrector, that would be awesome. Either built in or like an audio effect. But it would be nice when speeding up clips so there isn't a robotic sound.
Frameworks
While Descript automatically handles normal punctuation, such as pausing after a period, presently it does not appear to raise pitch when speaking a sentence ending in a question mark (i.e., it must raise pitch to indicate a question and prompt a response; instead, it appears to maintain pitch as if speaking a simple statement).
Concerning your request, I have voted for it and am recommending the use of Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) tags to provide additional control over how Overdub generates speech from the text. Please see (and up vote :) my request entitled "Provide additional control over how Overdub generates speech from the text (e.g., using SSML tags)" here: https://feedback.descript.com/feature-requests/p/provide-additional-control-over-how-overdub-generates-speech-from-the-text-eg-us
