Have you check?

Ircam : [Institute of Research Coordination Acoustics / Music], Paris,
France -
http://www.ircam.fr/index-e.html then Research and development then
Analysis/synthesis 

( that's the team behind the Farinelli project: 
How do you re-create the voice of a castrato through the fusion of two
timbres? Carlo Broschi, called "Farinelli" (1705-1782), is acknowledged as
one of the most famous castrati. Of course, we don't have access to any
recordings of this unique voice. For the needs of his film, Gérard Corbiau
turned to Ircam in order to re-create, through digital sound processing
techniques, an original voice, which is beyond today's human capacities. )

What are the most flexible synths, hard-wear and soft-wear?
I want to best imitate the voice of favorite speakers,
from tapes of their speech.
