generate output in a voice of the identified voice performer using the voice profile of the identified voice performer stored at the voice profile database.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein while generating the output, the control circuitry is configured to:

determine a textual form of the output, the textual form including a plurality of words;

synthesize, using the voice profile of the identified voice performer, audio matching at least a portion of the plurality of words; and

generate the output as an audio output based on the synthesized audio.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein when synthesizing, using the voice profile of the identified voice performer, audio matching at least the portion of the plurality of words, the control circuitry is configured to:

determine, based on the voice profile of the identified voice performer, a characteristic of the voice of the identified voice performer;

identify a plurality of audio templates, wherein each audio template of the plurality of audio templates corresponds to a respective word of the plurality of words;

modify each audio template of the plurality of audio templates based on the characteristic of the voice of the identified voice performer; and

generate audio corresponding to each modified audio template.
