I don't have much real use for celebrity voices (other than fun experimentation), but I'd love to be able to clone my own voice and character voices for the purposes of creating audiobooks / audioplays without having to pay monthly fees with monthly usage limits. So I'm excited by this sort of project!

P.S. Are there any tools for synthetic voice creation? Maybe melding two or more voices together, or just exploring latent space? Would be fun for character creation to create completely new voices.
