Elvenlabs is currently the best but you can get some very good results with first xtts then rvc as a second pass. It involves fine tuning models and running things with python and notebooks, so requires some know how.
You can explore more models on the huggingface page huggingface.co/models?pipeline_tag=text-to-speech…
Most have a huggingface space dedicated to them where you can try them, here is the xtts space for example huggingface.co/spaces/coqui/xtts

Thank you for the tips. As I see it currently, I expect the language to be the biggest hurdle. It doesn’t appear like something I can add myself, even if I had the data for a model. So as far as I can tell it involves two currently more or less impossible steps: Get model data and teach language to model.

If you have material with him speaking in English, you might be able to train an xtts model on it and then use that to bypass the captcha.
If anything, the tech is moving quite fast, it will definitely be easier in a few years, maybe even months.
