I have been wondering when this would start to be possible, for years. I think I have posted about the idea here. Well anyway, now it actually exists. If this Adobe audio editing tool hears about 20 minutes of a voice, it can make that voice say anything. So, I guess, if you play 20 minutes of Robert Englund talking, or of Jamie Lee Curtis talking, or Doug Bradley, or Brad Dourif, or Tom Atkins, or whoever, then after you have done that you can type in whatever you want the voice to say, and it will say it. Isn't that #$%^%$#-ing cool?!?

Maybe now we'll be able to make "ringtones" of our favorite horror actors saying whatever demented things we want them to say we can only pray that this is right around the corner.

It sounds like there will be MANY interesting things that could be done with that technology. You could create alternative versions (audio only, for now, of course) of whatever horror movie you choose, and you could insert the voice of whatever actor you like into the script, saying whatever lines you make up for him to say like, you could put Vincent Price's voice in the 2011 version of Fright Night, and give him whatever lines you want. Or even Bela Lugosi! That would be COOL, to stick Bela Lugosi's voice into your own adaptation of the 2011 Fright Night, because no one had ever even heard of Las Vegas when the Bela Lugosi Dracula came out it would be a really cool anachronistic setting to mess around with.
Or you could do it the other way, chronologically, and put the voices of the characters in The Blair Witch Project into the movie Freaks, and give them whatever lines you wanted. Or you could invent conversations between actors/characters from different eras, placed in whatever movie you wanted. Like, Boris Karloff talking to Danielle Harris. Or Lon Chaney Jr. talking to Sid Haig.
People will be thinking of interesting things to do with this technology for years to come.

Yup the possibilities seem endless
I would probably give some funny voices to movies or movie characters I don't like. I would make movies like Harry Potter totally ridiculous in that way. Yeah I truly hate those.
