Do I need consent to clone a voice?

Yes for any real person who is not you. Written permission should cover the use (demo, public, or commercial). This checker is a habit, not legal advice.

When should I disclose AI voice?

Disclose when a listener could reasonably assume a human recorded the audio — especially for public, commercial, or impersonation-adjacent uses.

Voice consent checker

Answer six consent, rights, and disclosure questions. Get a go / no-go before you upload a voice sample to any cloning tool.

Consent checklistI own this voice, or I have written permission from the speaker. GateThe permission covers this use (internal demo, public, or commercial). GateI am not impersonating a real person to deceive anyone. GateI checked whether the tool keeps or trains on the voice sample.I will disclose synthetic audio if listeners might assume a human recorded it.I have a short test script with a name, date, and number to QA likeness.

No-go — do not upload a sample yetConsent and use-scope are gates. A great-sounding clone of a non-consented voice is still a failed eval.

How to read this

Gates (consent, use-scope, no deception) must pass before you upload a sample.
Retention and disclosure can still block a public release even after a private test.
