Using the style flag for Azure voices

You can use the command line's --style flag for Azure voices. If you do this, follow it with one of these style flags. You can change the strength of these with --styledegree being 0.1 to 2. By default it is 1. So 2 would double it. Be warned. Some voices don't have all styles. .
