More guardnpc variety

Just a thought, but is it possible to create more variety in the guards? One of the biggest immersion breakers to me is the fact that it sounds like they had a total of 10 voice actors for the entire cast of Skyrim. All the guards sound the same as well as a lot of the NPCs. I know there are mods out there that give the guards random guard gear so they don't all look exactly the same and there are a lot of mods that introduce new follower NPCs, but is it possible to make the guards actually have different voices - something like how the different gear mod would work were maybe it would grab a random voice and the dialogue created so that you'll still be sharing the same pool for all the guards or at least all the guards at a specific location, but at least they won't all sound the same.

On a "slightly" more complex level, would it be possible to do a mod where you can upgrade the gear of the guards without using an editor or cheat function? It would be cool if you could outfit your favorite city with all dragonbone/dragonscale gear if you have found/crafted a bunch. One of the things I love about having followers is that I can gear them so they look the part of an elite team - the Nightingales mission was cool too partly thanks to everyone having nice gear.

Just some thoughts so if anyone knows of a mod that already does this or has any interest in making one I'd be very interested (I wouldn't be opposed to helping with some voice acting too but I've never done any so it would probably be a bit raw).
