Doesn't this require a huge amount of voice data before it would even sound remotely believable to maybe an elderly person with hearing/processing issues? I thought this was only possible for YouTubers,news presenters, etc as they have many hours of voice data to use.

Obstacle overcome since a few years. Already a few years ago you could fool close acquaintances with voice processing in real time.
elevenlabs only requires a few seconds of voice audio.
Yeah and it doesn't sound anything like the imitated person for anything outside extremely simple sentences.
i dunno, it replicated me just fine. maybe i have a basic voice. maybe a lot of people do.
I've tried it with mine and it wasn't anything like it. But then English isn't my first language so I have a bit of an accent.
