I wonder if the same kind of thing is feasible for someone's voice.

Update: I did some searching and found some interesting demos of a hybrid of neural nets and more conventional DSP called LPCNet:

Sure enough, it was discussed on HN when it came out last year. I think I missed it then.

For those who didn't catch this from the URL, this is by Jean-Marc Valin, of Speex and Opus fame.

I believe that’s what the vocoder was created for.

Mentioned in Jim Akhaleli's (sp?) "Revolutions" episode about the smart-phone currently on Netflix (my lad was watching it, really good for juniors or non-technical people IMO).

Almost right. It's Jim Al-Khalili. Great show.
