Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

the file homeassistant/components/watson_tts/tts.py contains allowed and deprecated voices for this integration. However, it should be updated because i.e. the Dutch voices are no longer working.

My IBM account is bricked atm but once I regain access, I'll create a patch for this issue, but I need API access to fetch the available voices.

Feel free to unblock this issue by creating a quick PR for it if you can, though. :)

Thanks @lxz81 for the list. I opened three tickets to IBM support, then ultimately, I got rejected so currently I don't even have access to Watson. Awesome IBM experience ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, the PR is open based on your comment.
