Hi! I want to make use of the different speakers in the dataset, but am unsure which indexes to use.

In my understanding each utterance of a speaker is represented with one index (for example 7306 is one utterance of an American woman), so you can load a speaker embedding with its index
speaker_embeddings = embeddings_dataset[7306]["xvector"]

But how would I find the "best" / "most understandable" index for each speaker? Is it simply an effort of trying multiple or is there some other technique? I am most interested in the following speakers:

bdl (US male)
rms (US male)
clb (US female)

Thanks a lot for your help!
