Subject: fix: use default voice for initial generation, random for
 regeneration
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Initial audio generation uses "alloy" voice with 0.98 speed
- Regeneration uses random voice selection for variety
- This ensures consistent initial experience while allowing variety on regeneration
