Neural2 voices sometimes appear to sound like it's drunk or having a stroke

For some reasons, Neural2 voices sometimes appear to sound like it's drunk or having a stroke. For instance, synthesize the following text with en-US-Neural2-J using the demo prompt on this page:

First came a stout puffy gentleman with a carpet bag; he wanted to go to the Bishopsgate station; then we were called by a party who wished to be taken to the Regent's Park; and next we were wanted in a side street where a timid, anxious old lady was waiting to be taken to the bank; there we had to stop to take her back again, and just as we had set her down a red-faced gentleman, with a handful of papers, came running up out of breath, and before Jerry could get down he had opened the door, popped himself in, and called out, “Bow Street Police Station, quick!” so off we went with him, and when after another turn or two we came back, there was no other cab on the stand.
