About this tool
Everything you need to know about Is Voice Cloning Legal
Whether voice cloning is allowed depends on whose voice it is and where you are, not on the technology itself: cloning your own voice is rarely in question, cloning someone else's turns on whether they agreed to it, and cloning a public figure's voice without agreement is the situation that has actually produced lawsuits. Rules differ by country and by state, so this page describes what the product requires rather than telling you what your specific situation is.

Is it legal to clone my own voice?
Cloning your own recorded voice is the least contested case, since you are both the source of the sample and the person giving consent.
What makes cloning someone else's voice risky?
The risk turns on whether that person agreed to it; laws in this area vary by country and by state, so the same request can land differently depending on where you and they are.
Why do public figures' voices get people sued?
Using a well-known person's voice without their agreement is the pattern behind most public voice-cloning disputes, separate from any question about the underlying technology.
Does the platform decide what's legal for me?
No — VocalLab requires a consent confirmation before training any voice, but whether a specific use is permitted where you live is a question for you, not a setting in the product.
