lol yeah I tried to get it to whisper too. And talk faster or slower or do accents. It seemed to be able to kind of do each of those things but only very slightly. Enough to see that there was some successful interpretation of the request but lack of flexibility to fully execute on it. OpenAI's model still has this beat on that front imo (talking quietly / slower / faster)

The male's Australian accent consisted of throwing a 'fair dinkum' in while keeping it's vague New York accent.

Yeah it's definitely going through text still. I tried to get it to sing a song so it output some lyrics and then read them as a poem.

I did manage to get it to output "la la la la" and then it kind of sang them with a random melody.

It also can't say things loud and its idea of whispering for me was to say "pst".

Still apart from that it's very impressive!
