You already have the right to your likeness, which includes the things you say in your voice profile (especially when attached to your name, and not said in a manner like that of a parody or an impersonation for laughs).
The threat is that, supposedly, pretty much all of the media companies that need Voice actors have a clause that allows them to use generative voice AI after the VA's death or if they're otherwise incapacitated to the point where they would be physically unable to get the voice actor back in the studio to record more lines. This is not outlandish for voice actors since they probably couldn't care less about their voice being used after they are dead, but it does mean we'll be hearing a lot more of it as more and more decade-long franchises use it to avoid hiring a good-enough impersonation or voice replacement once the old one dies.
