Voice cloning is the ability to synthesize a specific person's voice from a short sample — sometimes a few seconds. ElevenLabs brought the market to consumer level in 2023; Microsoft VALL-E, OpenAI Voice Engine, and open models like XTTS and F5-TTS followed quickly. It dramatically increases productivity for dubbing, audiobooks, and accessibility, but raises serious safety and ethics issues — non-consensual cloning and deepfake phone scams. Watermarking and consent-based enrollment flows are the industry's response.
