Is someone's voice their IP? Is it more-valuable property because they are famous? What type of IP? Trademark? Without their name and image in combination, is a voice/likeness actually defensible?

Training a computer to have any actual-human sounding voice is likely to almost match someone's voice.

I haven't taken an IP class since 2004, but I'm not sure if there's a real case here is there?

Nah, that’s too broad of an angle. I mean, you wouldn’t take Barack Obama’s voice and start making video tutorials with it.

“My fellow gamers…”

But what if it’s worse than just video tutorials, something vile? You simply wouldn’t want to have your voice associated with that.
