There is legal precedent in the US for the protection of someone's voice going as far back as 1988. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midler_v._Ford_Motor_Co.)

Separately, and in my own opinion, the issue of AI is directly tied to the issue of labor. Currently and unfortunately, the technology seems to be largely driven by folks who seek to avoid having to employ and pay people. I think you're better off reaching out to friends and folks in communities like this, who'd likely give their services for free or cheaply.

Spotting it at a used book store, I recently read a novelization of Alien Isolation, one of my all time favorite video games. I didn't realize they still did novelizations... I don't know if I could recommend it, but it was surprisingly ok because it (almost laughably) stuck so heavily to the game which is itself fantastic. So much so, that at one point the book gives the actual instructions for assembling a smoke grenade like in the game. I was glad to see the novelization genre alive.
