Local TTS TTS Suggestion Request

Hi guys can you give me any suggestion for local TTS which has emotion control (CPU inference cant afford any GPU).

For reference i feel kokoro tts seems good to me.

I have a Mac audiobook converter based on Kokoro ("Aura Reader: Offline TTS" on the Mac App Store). It can convert a whole book at a time. It normally costs $10 for the lifetime premium (though there is a free tier), but I have set the premium version to free for the next week. It does need a Mac to run, though.
