My voice sounds very, very similar to my mum's and sister's in person, but our voices are nearly indistinguishable when recorded or over the phone.
My brother has called my mum, and like five minutes into a conversation, he'll ask, "Wait! Is this Molly?!" My mum replies, "You called mum! This is mum!"
Last year, during my winter break, I was helping my mum at her job (she was going on vacation and had to get like 3 weeks of work done beforehand). My brother called, and I was folding papers, so I put my phone on speaker. My mum and I would both talk, and he got so confused. "I can't tell which is which, take it off speaker!" Was my brother's reply.
Before my sister joined the navy, my boyfriend would call the house and not know who picked up the phone, so he wouldn't know if it was his girlfriend, her sister, or her mother! So he would just kind of say, "uhh...." until whomever picked up the phone would ask, "Do you want me to give the phone to Molly?"
One of my sister's ex-boyfriends couldn't tell the difference when we recorded our voices. My sister and I both said the same thing, one after the other, and he guessed that my voice was her's.
The next time we're all together, I'm going to record our voices just for fun.
