Wonder if there's any legal risk here. It's long been legal to imitate someone's voice as long as you don't try to make people think it really is that person's voice. This is very common in parodies.

In the case of computer-generated voices, there are qualities that are desirable that also happen to be attributes of a real person's voice. How many of these desirable attributes can a computer-generated voice have before it's considered too close to the set of attributes a particular person's voice has?

Yes, celebrities generally own the rights to use their likeness for commercial purposes or promotions.

How are voice likeness verified? Half this thread is people saying they don't sound alike, who can tell officially?

Real question.

Is there some waveform comparison that a court would accept?
