What is "nice," as you know, depends on the hearer. So you'll need to try various "voices" to determine which you prefer. Start at https://www.manualslib.com/manual/196900/Yamaha-Portatone-Psr-5700.html?page=12#manual. On the next page, you may want to skip Step 2, at least at first.

If you require further advice, you may want to consult the company: use the contact information at https://www.contacthelp.com/yamaha.
