Yes, that was the distinction I was trying to make. These cases are fact dependent. I'm willing to admit that in this specific case there might have been both the intent to imply endorsement by a specific person and that practical result.
But as you can see in the other comments where I'm getting reamed, owning a voice outright is a pretty popular (if currently legally dubious/impossible) concept.
Yeah, you technically don't own your voice/likeness, but it's quite difficult to use someone's voice/likeness without violating some other law. If you call out that you're using it and that your use is not endorsed by the person it came from, you should be fine.
