You can find browser extensions now that will read text aloud for you, and many of these extensions allow you to select different speakers in different languages, often with a choice of gender and also of regional languages. Two browser extensions that I have used — Speechify and ReadMe — offer a variety of Spanish women's and men's voices from Spain, Mexico, U.S., etc.
You just install the browser extension and then when you right-mouse click on a highlighted selection of text, you will hear the voice read the text to you. Depending on the app, you can also adjust the speed so that the voice reads more slowly.
Here's a screenshot of how the Speechify extension looks in my Chrome browser:
To change the spekaer, I click on the little person icon, and I can also adjust the speed.
This is an amazing tool for language learners! You can also use these apps to read documents, PDFs, etc. It's definitely worth exploring the different text-to-speech apps available for your web browser and also for your phone to see which app is the most helpful for you.
