People say that this is more ethical than using AI. If this is really possible it may be hard to do?
You’ve never heard of people doing impressions before?
It is even possible to "imitate" the voice of a fictional character without AI?

I believe this is called an “impression”.

Erm… fictional characters get voiced by voice actors who get paid for the work they do, and using AI to recreate their own unique voice that they themselves created would steal their job.

The voice of a fictional character is the original voice actor.
Yes, voice actors can be imitated without AI, like Rick & Morty recently did when they replaced the VA of the main characters with two different VAs. A lot of people didn’t even notice it.

Bugs bunny has had 32 voice actors after mel blank no Ai required.

It’s possible and pretty common in the Voice Acting industry. Many characters have outlived their VAs such as Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Winnie the Pooh, Kermit the Frog, etc.
Subsequent VAs do impressions of the original voice. Largely these impressions are exceedingly close to the original voice and people hardly notice the change
