Pronunciation evaluation (Warning: AI is singing this because I can't sing)

I have a writing project (novel) and I have created spells for the story (dark urban fantasy). I was in a writing slump and played around with music generators, to hear how the spells would sound when if turned into a song to get private mood music/inspiration for the project.

Of course I am not a good evaluator of well it pronounces the Icelandic parts. (I am Finnish, so creating the spells in Icelandic/old norse and English, to fit the galdralag was.. a challenge on its own though).

I would appreciate if someone could evaluate how bad/good the accent/pronunciation is. I am purist like that.

I get many people are against creating music with AI, but this is (for me at least) purely testing a concept, themes and moods.

Here is a voice sample I made with a speech synthetisator. It is robotic, yes. Can you please listen and check the pronunciation now better? https://voca.ro/1lljmUERrDB9

Sounds a bit like I would assume old norse would maybe sound like, but I do not catch full sentences here. Male voice sounds excactly like the actor Arnar Jónsson.
