Murf
Easy to use interface, and large library of quality voices. Able to handle large, complex call trees. Provides a very professional feel to your company. IF you're like me and have a funny voice, you have to check this out!

Great and good for using it instead of recording your sound. But to use it for music, need to edit a little. some pronunciation is not so good, need to be improved but it is a great software.

Reviews
Murf
We've been using Murf for our content production for a while now, and I can say Murf is the best TTS software out there - yes I've tried most of them single-handedly. Our favourite voice avatar is named Ava, she sounds just like your girlfriend next door! And you don't even have to get the Pro plan to get her voice.

Murf is a great online software to convert text to voices. I think the advancement in technology is path-breaking that can help ease out the requirement of professional narration for your projects. Much recommended.
— Samuel R. - Instructional Designer
Smart tool for anyone needing to convert their script to voice. Voices are good and platform features are excellent to come out with the right result.

At least for English Viewers, This is a very good app to get your text converted to audio and can be used in any of the e Learning application.

It is the only tts application that is, as far as I know, both free and offers a function to set pauses in between sentences and paragraphs. Great tool.
