Awesome work! I played some games with the German voice. Though I noticed that when my opponent passed, the voice said “vorbeiziehen”. This is not the correct word here (actually it means “pass” more in the sense of “the caravan passes”). The correct translation is “passen”, but in this situation, the word on its own would sound weird too. So I’d suggest “Dein Gegner hat gepasst” / “Du hast gepasst” (your opponent has passed / you have passed). Maybe some other German speakers can suggest a better translation.
Edit: Some more improvements for the German voice announcements:
The byo-yomi periods are called “Zeiträume”. I think they should be called “Perioden”.
When a review starts: “Überprüfung” does not sound right imho. Personally I use the English word “review” even when speaking German. “Besprechung” or “Analyse” would probably be ok too.
These are AWESOME!!! Is there any possibility of English language with foreign language accent versions of some or all of these languages being made available? Or any chance we can set our own local sound files? I would fix this for myself in an instant
Amy vs Lindsay: Amy is missing from the “Game Voices” dropdown. Please add her back. Lindsay is grating on the ears. She lacks soul and personality. Compared to Amy, Lindsay makes me very sad.
Sabrina: I wish the speaker had a stronger accent.
While we can’t setup local files or personal uploaded files, if you want to do a recording I’d be happy to include it so long as it’s of good quality. (Do let me before if you want to do this, I have a script to follow)

I hear Hitomi saying 同点, in Kei’s voice the initial sound is missing.
I think I’m pretty convinced Hitomi is a robot after all. Especially because of the weird pause between 死に and 石を除去してください (“remove the dead stones”).
I can confirm that Hitomi is a robot, putting the waveforms of her 残り’s on top of each other, they have exactly the same rhythm, intonation & pitch (at least closer than I’ve ever had any human dub their own voice).
There were no robots used in the recordings… https://voicebunny.com/voice-actor/hitomi-farrell-V5EAM8/ is the voice actor for HItomi, you can check out some of her other samples that were done through that site, she’s definitely not a robot.
If there’s a certain “robot quality” that’s probably my fault for instructing them to be a bit monotone for the numbers, because when I didn’t they’d come back with a ton of variation between the numbers and I thought that would be too distracting, especially after you’ve heard it a few times.
I still find it hard to believe… I’ve recorded quite a few vocals, and getting things to sound as similar as she did is extremely hard even when people try their best to make them sound the same.
The pause between 死に and 石 is really strange as well, it’s like the English voiceover would say “Remo. Ve the dead stones”…
