Lots of people don't have perfectly good voices, and if you can copy the best voices, why settle for lesser ones? There are lots of voices people like more than yours, likely.

To give an example, 15-kun recently built on the Pony Preservation Project to use neural nets to voice-clone among others, My Little Pony voices, offering it as a service: https://fifteen.ai/ People have used it for all sorts of things: https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/03/pony-voice-event-what... Suppose you want to do, say, an F1 commentary on Austrian GP 2019 (#4) - why do it with your voice if you can do it with Fluttershy's voice?

This will be the next evolution of streamers, especially Virtual Youtubers and their ilk.
