In case you hadn't noticed or weren't aware of it, Vocaloid is a program 
that takes a library of sounds made by a person and lets you string them 
together arbitrarily to create a synthetic version of that person.  It's 
a ways off from sounding truly accurate, but it's a step up from MS Sam.

Whole load of youtube videos with it.
