actions on google not using correct voice/personality - actions-on-google

So I created this trivia game on Actions on Google for the Google Assistant, and one of the options is to choose the voice/personality that will talk when you're playing the game. I chose the "Mr. Montgomery" voice. You can hear the voice for yourself here https://developers.google.com/actions/templates/trivia
I published the game, but when I try it on my Google Home, it's not using the Mr Montgomery voice, it's using the voice set in this other option I found that lets you choose the voice gender but it doesn't give an example. I changed it to male and it is a male voice, but it isn't the Mr Montgomery voice given in the preview. Is there something else I have to do to make it use the Mr Montgomery voice?

Can I use my own voice or someone's voice with permission?

For google home actions, can I use my own voice or someone else's voice with permission? Can I read the text responses, record them, and play them back as audio files?
Earplay is an example on Alexa:

A guy from Gupshup said that it is not allowed:

I didn't see where it was not allowed in the terms of service.
"the platform does not allow that" does not mean that it is legally not allowed, but that it is simply not possible.
Both Alexa and Google Assistant have a default voice which can not be changed.
When developing an Action, you can select from one of four voices (two male, two female) to use. You can't use the default Google Assistant voice. There is no technical way to use another voice.
While you can send audio files, and these audio files can contain a voice, this would be a lot of work for little benefit.
Yes, Progressive does this with their Google Action.

Mary TTS voice variation

I am using mary tts 5.1 and the voice dfki-prudence (English female).
This voice variation is not working (in emotions like happy, sad, angry, etc.). But this emotion is working in the voice cmu-slt-hsmm(English female). Voice dfki-prudence(English female) is good.
How do I make changes in the dfki-prudence (English female) voice variation? Anyone know?
The dfki-prudence voice does not support the expressive styles.
Only dfki-pavoque-styles has this feature.
It is the answer from official github.

Interaction with google voice recognition in iPhone? Possible?

Plz, go Through my Previous question?
Voice Recognition in iPhone?
Ok Now my Current question is as below.
It seems very hard to build my own voice recognition code - in iPhone.
Is it possible to use google's voice recognition in our software,
like when user wants to search a student by voice
=>voice is recorded & searched by google
=>& it respond to my application,
ok. I understand my question is quite confusing.
However plz leave comment for me for correction.
Thanks in advance for helping me out.
Google's iPhone app does not do voice recognition on the phone, it records the audio, and then sends it to Google's servers which do the analysis. Some day Google may make webservices available to allow you to send generic clips and get back search results, but to my knowledge they do not provide anything like that at this time.
Since Google does not provide any API for their Voice Recognition the answer would seem to be no.

Voice Recognition in iPhone?

I have seen many application doing voice recognition on the iphone.
I have already gone through the following questions of stackoverflow:
-iPhone App › Add voice recognition?
-can we do voice calling in the iphone?
However I couldn't find sufficient knowledge.
I have to develop an application which should have following functionality:
=>Store list of students in database => i can do
=>Retrieve in to tableView => i can do
=>Find student by voice recognition => dont know how?**
I don't know how to do the voice recognition part, can you guide me to correct way?
How to record a voice & search student accordingly?
Thanks in advance.
Look again at the answer to this question. Particularly:
Apple has not opened up any APIs to access voice dialing (or any of the other voice controlling features) to third party developers.
However, if you want to create your own voice recognition algorithms this can be done.
You need to do it yourself somehow.
The other question you linked to has some good suggestions on that.
If you want to do it using a third party tool for voice recognition,
