Downloading voices in MacOS

Hello there, wondering if someone could help me out please? I'm trying to download a voice on the Mac. Once i focus on it voiceover says, "play button, download button". I simply assumed that like with many other things in Mac OS i would press VO space in response to that and the voice would download. Clearly not, since nothing happens when i press VO space. Please could someone tell me where i'm going wrong? I should add that i am still a relatively new Mac user, and haven't downloaded new voices before. Also, just in case it's important, i'm using the latest version, OS ventura 13.0. Thank you in advance for any help.

From what I've been shown by others, you need to interact with the row for the current voice in the list and then select the iCloud Download button with VO right arrow.

Thanks chris. I did try interacting with what i thought was the voice and all it said was "interact with title". There weren't any options once i'd done so.

So, after going to the manage voices, select the voice. for example, I have chosen Ava then interacted by pressing VO+shift+down arrow. after I have interacted, I have pressed down load button and it worked just fine.
