I feel this may be broad enough to cover fun uses of impersonation? At least while not preserving any spontaneity and genuine mystery. No (respectfully!) using voice changers to misdirect people, disguises... (you'd breach this rule by holding someone elses ID, technically... if identity mechanics weren't broken)

That isn't to say that voice changers are always good for roleplay, just that they can be and this rule makes it so your character cannot pretend to be someone else in any way

You can imitate them with OOC consent, but it's one of those things where misrepresenting what people say from a location where they can't be find and the majority of communication happens via broadband can make things problematic for how people are represented. I'd rather be safe than sorry given how spread out people are. If done with consent or similar, both parties are okay with the situation happening then there's no issue. Just reach out to them beforehand
