I should definitely expand a bit: the voice skins that we're building give you a _specific_ person's timbre (or you can do some cool "voice space" vector manipulations to combine timbres). The cool application here is being able to sound like a character or celebrity in the game, but the risk of misuse for having a specific person's vocal cords is much greater than that for just swapping your gender.

That said, there _are_ some interesting things to be careful around, even for changing your gender, or age, or other basic variables around your voice. We're mostly worried about what impact this would have for communities built around these kinds of commonalities: for example, is it okay for a child to masquerade as an adult in an adults-only social group? I don't think there's a clear answer to all of those situations - but until we see more use of realistic voice skins in the real world, we're playing it safe and building in these kinds of tools!
