CODE:

            foreach (var voice in SpeechSynthesizer.AllVoices)
            {
                synth.Voice = voice;

                var text = "Hello World";

                var stream = await synth.SynthesizeTextToStreamAsync(text);

                var me = new MediaElement();
                me.SetSource(stream, stream.ContentType);

You can change the Gender and age using StartVoice(VoiceGender gender, VoiceAge age)

Simple Example:

PromptBuilder pb = new PromptBuilder();

pb.StartVoice(VoiceGender.Male, VoiceAge.Child);
pb.AppendText("I like my toy car");
pb.EndVoice();

You might want to search for TTS's that support your desired picth.
