Can a person copyright his/her voice?

I predict that soon we will have Morgan Freeman narrating.. everything. He may not be OK with this.

A quick search leads me to believe that it isn't: https://www.quora.com/Is-an-actors-voice-copyrightable?srid=...

Yes they can while not copyright outright it should fall under the image and likeness classification.

Add some fake video of a person speaking synthesized text and nobody will know what's real any more. I seem to vaguely remember a movie or something where a device like that was causing mayhem, because nobody knew about the tech.
