You can train an AI in your voice, or whatever tonal sound, and then perform with that machine learned voice.
Holly Herndon did a short TED talk introducing this technology, and demonstrates her spawned ( not sampled ) voice in this video.
She calls that AI voice Holly+. Part of this process is called timbre transfer which can transfer a live performance in a performers voice, into a synthetic, though very real sounding AI machine learned voice.
You teach an AI a sound in order to generate an entirely new sound.
Yes there have been similar things done in the past, like in particular the Yamaha Vocaloid technology. But be aware of the improvements in sound quality, capabilities and the process involved with this newer technology.
My understanding is that as a part of this that Herndon is using technology from Never Before Heard Sounds. They have a quick demo in this video. ( Not as good a watch as the TED Talk viceo above. )
Also not linked is a Holly+ performance of Jolene, but go ahead and Google it.
ADDED : Herndon is also using AI vocal software from Voctro Labs. They were recently acquired by another AI vocal company VoiceMod. This second company has a long term experience with this sort of thing, having worked on the Vocaloid in the past.
