That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

It's possible and pretty common in the Voice Acting industry. Many characters have outlived their VAs such as Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Winnie the Pooh, Kermit the Frog, etc.
Subsequent VAs do impressions of the original voice. Largely these impressions are exceedingly close to the original voice and people hardly notice the change
You've never heard of people doing impressions before?
I didn't know that this is somewhat common...
So it is not hard to imitate a voice?
Most people aren't very good at it, but there are plenty of people who practice and get quite good at doing it.
The voice of a fictional character is the voice actor.
Yes, voice actors can be imitated without AI, like Rick & Morty recently did when they replaced the VA of the main characters with two different VAs. A lot of people didn't even notice it.
Bugs bunny has had 32 voice actors after mel blank no Ai required.
Erm… fictional characters get voiced by voice actors who get paid for the work they do, and using AI to recreate their own unique voice that they themselves created would steal their job.
I believe this is called an "impression".
It's almost like OP had learned about AI impressions before hearing that impressions have been a thing for far longer than we've had AI to imitate voices. No judgement here, just fascinating.
what does pressing objects into clay to capture their shape have to do with OP's question?
