Yep it's part of it to generate the sound track

One of the videos show the voice changing in mid sentence

No, it isn't. In that clip they are taking two different sound clips as they are switching faces. It's not changing the 'voice' of saying some phrase on the fly. It's two separate pre-recorded clips.

Literally from the article:

It does not clone or simulate voices (like other Microsoft research) but relies on an existing audio input that could be specially recorded or spoken for a particular purpose.
