Voice Usage Policy

Rules for original Voice Art voices, community styles that imitate recognizable people or fictional characters, disclosure, permitted cloning, and misuse reports.
Jul 3, 2026

The Voice Art public catalog contains original synthetic voices as well as community styles that may imitate a real person or fictional character. The category of the selected style determines what use is permitted.

Original synthetic styles

A style not modeled on an identifiable person or character may be used in personal and commercial projects. That permission remains subject to your plan limits and the Terms of Service.

Community styles that imitate real people

A community style identified as imitating a public figure is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or recorded by that person.

Permitted uses are limited to:

  • Parody, satire, and commentary when a reasonable listener would not confuse the audio with a real statement by that person.
  • Clearly labeled creative experiments and drafts.

You must not use such a style to:

  • Impersonate the person or claim that generated audio is a statement they actually made.
  • Suggest sponsorship or endorsement of a product, service, or cause.
  • Harass, defame, or deceive anyone, or bypass an identity-verification system.
  • Deliver political, medical, or financial messaging in that person’s voice.

Rules governing voice imitation differ by jurisdiction. You are responsible for the legality of what you publish.

Community styles that imitate fictional characters

Voice Art is not connected to the owner of a franchise represented by an imitative style. Fan work, parody, and prototyping are the intended contexts for these styles. For commercial use, check the rights holder’s rules first.

Disclosure requirement

When published audio imitates a recognizable voice, you must label it as AI-generated. The label must not be used as a way to imply that prohibited impersonation or endorsement is allowed.

Cloning a voice

The voice cloning workflow is consent-first: only clone voices you own or have written permission to clone. Cloning another person without that consent breaches the Terms of Service and may also breach applicable law.

Asking for removal

If a catalog style imitates you or a character you own, request removal through the contact page. Include a link to the voice so the team can identify and review it promptly.
