is your voice part of your threat model? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I wanted to maybe start making PeerTubr videos, but then I realized I've never had to consider my voice as part of my threat model. A consequence that immediately comes to mind is potentially having your voice trained on by AI, but I'm not (currently) in a position where others would find it desirable to do so. Potentially in the future?

I'd like to know how your threat model handles your personal voice. And as a bonus, how would voice modulators help your voice in/prevent your voice from being more flexible in your threat model? Thanks!

You can find my voice at https://video.benetou.fr/ and elsewhere on the Internet because I did talks are conferences.

I'm not particularly worry by it ... because I expect people who are important to me (family, friends, even colleagues) to be trained enough (because it's not about intelligence) to contact me back (as they have my number, email, etc) if anything serious were to happen.

IMHO it's mostly a problem for basic phishing attack where somebody is rushed to provide information. As soon as the person replies "OK let me call you back" then the whole threat disappears. Well... if the hacker did manage to control your phone number or your email that's a totally different ballgame though but I assume we're not talking at this level.
