Similar voices are not the same voice. You can analyze them and show that they are different.

So the answer is that the person who said it gets the rights. Because it's their voice.

The idea that you don't own something that is a unique part of you is ludicrous.

There is no way to exactly fingerprint a voice. There isn't a mathematical definition of a voice. Even fingerprints and DNA aren't completely unique; think of twins. This means that a subjective judgement would have to be made when deciding ownership.

Look, I'm obviously not going to convince you. But I hope, for your sake, that this legal framework doesn't come to exist because you will not be the winner. Disney, Warner Brothers, or some other entity with deep pockets will own just about everything because they have the lawyers and money to litigate it.

There are real problems and dangers of trying to turn everything that has value into capital for capital owners.

You're right. It's not like there's anything out there like voiceprint identification or anyth-

There isn't a mathematical definition of a voice.

The subtle and human imperceptible difference between two similar yet distinct sounds (voices) is absolutely demonstrable through mathematical analysis, more specifically, signal analysis.
