Likeness rights are a real thing, and it's not out there to have infringed on them by going to a famous person to use their likeness, getting denied, then using another actor telling them to copy the first actor's likeness.
This is why all Hollywood contracts have actors signing over their likeness in perpetuity now; which was one of the major sticking points of the recent strikes.

At a base minimum, the would have given her direction to sound the way she does. Voice actors have lots of range, and that range would have been on her demo reel.

The anonymous actor, as reported by the anonymous agent, "fearing for her safety".
It even assumes the opposite, since they asked SJ after recording the original voice.
