What are the "legitimate" uses cases for this kind of service where they would expect to make money from individuals who want their voices cloned? Dub movies? Audiobooks?

We have seen use cases in audiobooks, podcasts, marketing videos, explainer videos, Commercials, and Gaming, among others.
I suppose audio books read by people who can’t be bothered with reading a book out loud?

Or maybe a comedic angle of audio books read by unusual accents? Imagine Harry Potter read by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

None. The terms of service have creators surrender rights to their voices and their ip when they use this service
If I’m an author and I want to create an audiobook, I might be able to create the whole thing after reading just the first page.
My product (www.dopplio.com) leverages this exact tech to reduce manual work done in sales

So I’m always excited to have more options
