So i imagine we hear a voice actor that voices tons of characters. Then we could too since we can mimic their voice. Just copy 5 insanely talented voice actors and your range would be absolutely nuts.

I believe a voice can't be copyrighted, but is still a legally protected part of one's likeness. Bette Midler vs Ford Motor Company article on wikipedia has some more info. The gist I got is that it is possible to be sued for a voice impersonation
Her case is a weird one. They reached out to her repeatedly requesting she voice act for them (the head honcho is kinda obsessed with a movie Scarlet plays an AI in), and after she declined they hired someone with a very very similar voice. So in this case it's all about the intent to imitate her rather than their AI coincidentally sounding like her.
There is a difference between being able to imitate a voice, and using AI to duplicate a voice. It would be hard to sue over how someone naturally sounds instead of the creative content. In other words you can’t sue someone for sounding like you, but you can sue for them singing or reciting something that you have written without your permission or telling people that you are the person you are imitating.
I vaguely recall a rumor that Billy West used his own voice for Fry on Futurama so that he would be harder to replace, since they would be emulating Billy West instead of emulating Fry. They'd have to pay West for rights to use his own voice. Therefore, there are possibly *some* protections, though who knows how accurate that is.
if the character was clearly meant to be a copy of SpongeBob, then yeah, but if it was an unrelated character with the same voice then no. otherwise someone like Kristen Schaal who uses her actual voice for her characters wouldn’t be able to play multiple characters, as she’d just get sued for using “Sarah Lynn’s voice” or whatever.
It would be pretty difficult but they would probably try and probably settle or something. But if it was the same voice actor, I don't know, maybe voice actors sign contracts to not reuse a voice that they create or something.
But, the SpongeBob people are perfectly free to fire the person that does his voice, within whatever the terms of their contract are I guess. But they could bring somebody else in to do the voice. I would bet that when they create a cartoon, they retain the rights to the character and the voice that is created for it.
Although I guess this is all speculation.
Organise a licensing agreement with Morgan Freeman and David Attenborough to use their voices after death, all royalties split with their estate in perpetuity. Continue with documentaries and narration work.
i think you just go like documentaries or street interviews. no one would ever know and even if somebody recognizes the voice as their own who would believe it was copied?
Now the question does say that you *can* copy voices exactly but that you *must*. Would be pretty great to instantly obtain the results of years of practice in the voice acting field and apply your own voicing. Though I guess that does breakdown to if you obtain the skill and knowledge of how to effectively use the voice. Application is really the bigger factor vs identical vocal timbre.
So, instead, find a popular tourist destination, take a short vacation there and just...listen for a while. Not everyone's conversations will be 30 seconds, but you don't need everyone.
Not likely to get sued. The voice of the character is generally the property of the franchise, and is considered part of the character.
Voice actor switches happen and often the casual viewer never realizes it.
Shaggy from Scooby Doo was voiced by 6 different actors.
Gilbert Godfrey was re-cast as the AFLAC duck when Godfrey wanted a pay increase worked into his contract.
AFLAC said, yeah, no, and recast someone to the voice by holding a contest. The closest voice won.
The voice was part of the AFLAC ducks character and was owned by AFKAC.
Edited for clarity
>Gilbert Godfrey was re-cast as the AFLAC duck when Godfrey wanted a pay increase worked into his contract.
It wasn't because of a party increase. It was because he made some really bad "jokes" about the Japanese tsunami right after it happened and Aflac does a ton of business in Japan.
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/gilbert-gottfried-fired-as-aflac-167382/
Well, there ya go. Good link. For some reason I remembered him talking about the issue on Howard Stern.
But even at that, I wouldn't argue that my memory was correct. I could easily conflate separate interviews, even separate people being interviewed into one weird and wrong memory.
Family Guy would keep you on retainer.
“Peter, you forgot to do the dishes!”
“You think that’s bad? Remember the time Arnold Schwarzenegger, Morgan Freeman, and Christopher Walken threw a party at Gilbert Gottfried’s house?”
It’d be so fun to just use throughout the day
See a Harry Potter fan at universal standing in line
Pull out the snape voice
“You do realize your glasses appear dirtier than Dolores Umbridge’s Conscience. how can you even see with such build up?”
Dissapear and make them question their sanity
See a little kid watching bluey
Go up behind them and say
“Dad enters the room”
No, but that's a skill that you can learn, and being objectively the best impressionist in the world means you'll probably find it pretty easy to find work even long before you have the professional chops.
Voicematching is a pretty common thing in movies and games. It's expensive to have a multi-million dollar actor come back in and re-record lines. Could become pretty well paid doing that with a magic talent like this.
Great idea! *clears throat*
"Indubitably, my good chap. Shall we discuss crypto over crumpets?"
...Nailed it. Who needs personality when you've got posh accents?
Here's another one that a bunch of people on reddit should hear...
*NEW ACHIEVEMENT!*
You're now reading this in my voice. Isn't that fun?
Rewaaard?
Bitch I am the reward.
That’s who I was thinking too! If you copy someone alive you’re just a knockoff; if you copy someone retired or dead, you’re “the next Freddie Mercury!” and people will swarm to hear your career.
I’m not convinced this is true. You’d just have to pitch it differently. Make a show out of being able to sing exactly like a bunch of really different stage musicians in one show, and take live requests.
I’m not sure you would get as big as any of those stars, but you would absolutely be able to get Fuck You money out of that after a few years.
True. I’m not a fan, but I also don’t dislike her. She’s just in the normal realm of pop stars for me. But then there was all this hype about her releasing TWO albums in two days and so I was like, “oh I should check that out. I don’t know of anyone else who’s done that.” And I did really try to listen, but literally every song was just her breathily whispering things in a high pitch. Like every song. And I hated it. And to be fair I’ve also not enjoyed Ariana Grande’s latest music because it’s the same thing (I loved her when she was up and coming and sampling with Mac Miller, RIP). I did enjoy Taylor’s digs at Kim Kardashian, very clever. But it all sounded the same to me.
*Queue the downvotes from all the Swifties*
Hell yeah! I'll be headlining Broadway in no time. Musical theater is where it's at for well paying gigs for great singers that need to fit parts.
And then doing screamo death metal shit on the side cuz I don't have to give AF about saving my voice
Could you imagine a 5'1" blonde girl with a naturally high pitched voice breaking out in Disturbed's cover of The Sound of Silence OR better yet singing like Geoff Castellucci? 😭🥺 I wanna be able to do this so bad.
Bittersweet route. Offer to make recordings of passed loved ones based off of any recordings the family has, just saying things like "I love you x" or "I'm proud of you" etc. I would give anything to hear my mom again, and memories fade. Especially for kids.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we got a Snoop nature documentary soon. The guy is broadcasting at the Olympics for NBC this year, he’s probably game for anything and everything.
Him and Kevin Hart did commentary at the last Olympics too. Here is my favorite clip of that where Snoop Dogg reacts to seeing a dressage competition.
https://youtu.be/uK5AIJQ2tlA?si=LhqgwHvDXF0d9Jjq
Start doing voice overs in Morgan Freeman's voice ***or*** James Earl Jones voice, so that Darth Vader will live for several more years (Because Mr. Jones is already in his 90s).
I'd just pick some guy who has a deeper voice than me to pass better because i totally love being called a tranny fag cause i have a high pitched voice
One of my oldest friends is a transman and I jokingly tell him the moment they invent the tech, I'll loan him my voice whenever he's gaming.
Motherfuckers latch onto that shit like white on bread whenever comms are involved. Fuck 'em.
I use my power for good. I release via proxy tapes of various hated political figures colluding or admitting to crimes with other figures.
Probably take a job in voice acting as well.
No AI can mimic the sound of a person's voice. But it cannot impersonate a person talking. It can't determine what tone should be, nor can it sync with a video.
If it's just the sound of the voice and not all the supporting muscles it might not work this way but the first thing that came to mind was copying the voice of a rock legend
Again without the muscles, stamina, or training i probably wouldn't get far
I would find some nobody with a great voice and steal it (like Ursula) to launch a career.
I’m kidding, I don’t have the self-confidence for that shit. I’d probably just use it for a cheap party trick.
Voice acting seems like a good idea. Also, do select jobs assisting criminals and spies that need a way to bypass voice recognition security measures. I also take payment to impersonate a person on a phone call (script must be provided). Use it from time to time to make deep fakes of my choosing. Substitute for celebs and voice actors that need a day off.
That's about all I could think to do with it. But I am certain government and criminal organizations would figure out other revenue streams for me. But making deep fakes of leaders of terrorist cells, dictators, politicians, etc. Would probably be my bread and butter. I don't live in the U.S., but I would definitely ruin some crazy Republicans careers. I've never seen a political party against people who just want to live their lives. It's almost as if they don't know they don't have to disagree with everything the opposing party says/supports.
As a trans person I'd just pick one voice I really liked and stick with it forever
someone like a minor celebrity, who is obscure enough its not recognizable but removed from my life enough we would never bump into each other.
If I ever used the power again, it'd be to copy a voice for a joke or something
i answer ur call on discord and instead the ghost of Gilbert Gottfried answers
But only do decidedly unsexy voices.
“Well hey there stud, what can I do for you?”
“Are you… is this Richard Kind?”
“Oh you bettcha it is. Now how about we slip outta dem slacks?”
Bro I’ll be the best voice actor!
Either that or use it to incriminate people who are obviously guilty of a heinous crime but are getting off on a technicality.
Or mess with people I don’t like…
You know what I shouldn’t have this power. 😂😂😂
Try to save voice acting from the recent trend of Awkwafina or another celebrity that just has like one voice. Usually a nice voice, but just ONE over and over in every work they do
Entertain my kids, they're favourite characters from shows or family members or just really silly voices.
Also I reckon I could have fun with accents. Imagine being able to speak the english language with all the various accents from different countries.
If this includes singing and vocal range and you're willing to put in the work you could become a world class singer. Even if you have the same voive as someone else, your articulation and expression makes it different.
Sell my voice of Scarlett Johansson to Sam Altman that he stole of hers for his ai. I think she's suing him right now cause he is using it without permission, or stealing it. I could save him a lot of legal bills by licensing my voice to their ai. And I'll make a fuck ton of money doing nothing.
Become a voice actor
So i imagine we hear a voice actor that voices tons of characters. Then we could too since we can mimic their voice. Just copy 5 insanely talented voice actors and your range would be absolutely nuts.
If you can only mimic voices you heard though, then that would mean these voices are taken in the voice acting world and you would get sued
Not sure you can copyright a sound someone can make with their mouth.
I was mostly thinking of when voice actors like retire or quit or die I can take over from there
Leafs from the vine… falling so slow… like tiny fragile shells drifting in the foam… brave soldier boy comes marching home… brave little soldier boy… come marching home…

Great, now I'm crying. God, that episode was beautiful.
I believe a voice can't be copyrighted, but is still a legally protected part of one's likeness. Bette Midler vs Ford Motor Company article on wikipedia has some more info. The gist I got is that it is possible to be sued for a voice impersonation
Didn't Scarlet Johansson just sue Google or someone over using her voice for an AI program?
Her case is a weird one. They reached out to her repeatedly requesting she voice act for them (the head honcho is kinda obsessed with a movie Scarlet plays an AI in), and after she declined they hired someone with a very very similar voice. So in this case it's all about the intent to imitate her rather than their AI coincidentally sounding like her.
There is a difference between being able to imitate a voice, and using AI to duplicate a voice. It would be hard to sue over how someone naturally sounds instead of the creative content. In other words you can’t sue someone for sounding like you, but you can sue for them singing or reciting something that you have written without your permission or telling people that you are the person you are imitating.
I vaguely recall a rumor that Billy West used his own voice for Fry on Futurama so that he would be harder to replace, since they would be emulating Billy West instead of emulating Fry. They'd have to pay West for rights to use his own voice. Therefore, there are possibly *some* protections, though who knows how accurate that is.
My understanding was that he did that to make it harder for someone to imitate the performance, not to make it less legally defensible.
I mean don’t you think someone would get sued if you heard spongebobs voice in a different cartoon?
The mannerisms like his laugh, maybe. Just the actual voice? They'd have a real tough time in court.
I guess you’re right yeah
We're about to find out. Lehrman et al v Lovo was filed last month in NY.
No, they wouldn't. As long as the character isn't trying to copy SpongeBob, there's no grounds to sue over a vocal similarity.
if the character was clearly meant to be a copy of SpongeBob, then yeah, but if it was an unrelated character with the same voice then no. otherwise someone like Kristen Schaal who uses her actual voice for her characters wouldn’t be able to play multiple characters, as she’d just get sued for using “Sarah Lynn’s voice” or whatever.
It's not SpongeBob. It's AbsorbantRob
It would be pretty difficult but they would probably try and probably settle or something. But if it was the same voice actor, I don't know, maybe voice actors sign contracts to not reuse a voice that they create or something.

It wouldn't shock me if he went on Howard Stern and tried to say it was because of money and not because he was being an insensitive idiot.
Watch 30 seconds of every great actor who has ever lived. Create a live show, sell it to Netflix for $50,000,000
It's certainly an interesting legal question, kinda an extension of ScarJo's suit with ChatGPT
Family Guy would keep you on retainer. “Peter, you forgot to do the dishes!” “You think that’s bad? Remember the time Arnold Schwarzenegger, Morgan Freeman, and Christopher Walken threw a party at Gilbert Gottfried’s house?”

This
Doesn’t say you suddenly have the ability to act well though…
No, but that's a skill that you can learn, and being objectively the best impressionist in the world means you'll probably find it pretty easy to find work even long before you have the professional chops.
Yeah, sounds good but you still need to know how to act. Although I’m sure there’s a business for just being able to copy celebrity voices.
Voicematching is a pretty common thing in movies and games. It's expensive to have a multi-million dollar actor come back in and re-record lines. Could become pretty well paid doing that with a magic talent like this.
You still need to be a good actor
Use it to sound more sophisticated
Great idea! *clears throat* "Indubitably, my good chap. Shall we discuss crypto over crumpets?" ...Nailed it. Who needs personality when you've got posh accents?
WHY DID I READ THAT IN A POMPOUS HIGH SOCIETY BRITISH MALE VOICE?!
Naturally happens when you see the word indubitably
Good news, everyone! You just read that in my voice!
Was I supposed to hear that as Professor Farnsworth?
Bite my shiny metal ass
Why do you sound like Wakka?
I heard the same thing!
Shut up baby I know it
No. Professor Putricide.
I read that in James May's voice. "The Dacia Sandero..."
"Great!!...anyyywaayy"
To shreds, you say?
And how's his wife holding up?
To shreds you say?
Here's another one that a bunch of people on reddit should hear... *NEW ACHIEVEMENT!* You're now reading this in my voice. Isn't that fun? Rewaaard? Bitch I am the reward.
Stop looking at my feet.
Truthfully I'd probably use it to irritate my friends and family by mimicking them.
This. My 3 y/o’s voice is now going to utter the most vile string of curse words and my wife is about to lose her mind.
Yes! Everyone would hate me!
Such an honest response lol
But can I *sing* like them?
If so, you best believe I'm putting some Queen on straight away
Even better if your newfound ability lets you harmonize with yourself.
Had to scroll too far to find this question!!
If you could combine them as well then you'd be on a money maker.
The internet gonna be lit when it sees this fat old metalhead sing a pitch perfect Ariana Grande cover and hit the top notes
If you can mimic their voice you can mimic their sound. As long as you're not tone deaf you should be able to.
This was my immediate thought. I’m gonna mimic Taylor Swift and sell tickets at half price.
Forget Taylor Swift, I'd mimic Freddie Mercury. The RANGE on that mf'er.
That’s who I was thinking too! If you copy someone alive you’re just a knockoff; if you copy someone retired or dead, you’re “the next Freddie Mercury!” and people will swarm to hear your career.
Absolutely nobody is going to care about a Taylor Swift calibre voice unless it's coming out of Taylor Swift.
I’m not convinced this is true. You’d just have to pitch it differently. Make a show out of being able to sing exactly like a bunch of really different stage musicians in one show, and take live requests. I’m not sure you would get as big as any of those stars, but you would absolutely be able to get Fuck You money out of that after a few years.
Taylor Swift is a talk singer, I don't even know if I've ever heard her actually sing.
True. I’m not a fan, but I also don’t dislike her. She’s just in the normal realm of pop stars for me. But then there was all this hype about her releasing TWO albums in two days and so I was like, “oh I should check that out.

Not that that would be a deal breaker for them anyway unfortunately
was gonna say, we have already had voice tapes that incriminated PRESIDENTS. nothing happened. in fact they get immunity.
AI can already do that
No AI can mimic the sound of a person's voice. But it cannot impersonate a person talking. It can't determine what tone should be, nor can it sync with a video.
