I've seen some really good tech on this in Seattle. They had made a version with obama's voice and then he could narrate any book. Still some things that needed to be done to make it sound more human but 90 percent there

They can make it sound like Obama, yes, but can the make it sound like Obama reading the material with inflective justice, or just a monotone with Obama speech tics mixed in?
