That seems like an impossible thing to do - how would you define "your voice" and how much would it have to be changed to no longer be considered "your voice"?

What would happen between two people that sound similar, or even identical, to our imperfect human senses?
- the-pigeon 5y agoCourt precedence. Like pretty much everything else judges would have to define the lines over decades through court cases. I'm not sure if it should go that way. I don't like the idea that someone like Disney could hire a voice actor once and then steal their voice forever. And it feels like we are headed down that path. On the flip-side if you could trademark your voice, someone like Disney could buy up a bunch of trademarks and use them to sue somewhat similar voices. Kinda feels like a lose lose scenario.

That's only if you're using trademarked voices to begin with though, right? The reason I think trademark needs to exists is because with voice, like an image or wording, comes a value or expectation of value that can be invested into it. Like Bourdain's voice.
