I think this is the relevant case law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midler_v._Ford_Motor_Co https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midler_v._Ford_Motor_Co.
Basically your voice is part of your likeness.
"Impersonation of a voice, or similarly distinctive feature, must be granted permission by the original artist for a public impersonation, even for copyrighted materials."
- LewisVerstappen 2y agoQuoting that as a relevant case law is completely ridiculous. Did you even look at the Ford commercial? https://youtu.be/hxShNrpdVRs https://youtu.be/hxShNrpdVRs Having someone sing in the exact same style as another singer is totally different from what OpenAI did with their voice AI (having a female actor speak in a flirty tone). It makes sense with music but you're setting a really dangerous precedent if you can't even hire a voice actor who sounds similar for speaking.
