If you can take one person's voice in and map it to sound like dozens of different voices then you have a real product. This would give you the ability to use a single skilled voice actor to play every part in a script. You usually get a most fluid conversation when the voice actors hear the other part of the conversation, so this would facilitate that.
Take it a step further by combining both audio and video deepfake technology and you can have two actors play every part in a show/movie without needing to redo makeup. They could look and sound like your favorite celebrity or it could be a new face and voice for every character for every part (using neural network generated faces and voices). Think of it, actors known for acting and not just being a pretty young face.
Do many people know what Einstein actually sounded like? I don't think I've ever heard his voice, I guess because he was mostly active at a time when people didn't record academics or interview them on camera much.
They could give him Bug Bunny's voice and most people wouldn't know if it was accurate or not.

This already exists, scammers use that tech all the time to impersonate people they have voiceprints of.
