ugh...
There are hundreds of things that can affect vocal sound, not JUST genetics. If that were the case your voice would sound identical to your brother's. >_> Things like skull size, shape, strength of vocal muscles, and other physical aspects do play a part. However just as important are post-birth alterations to the vocal chords such as damage from shouting (hoarse voice as a temporary example), surgery, or smoking, Vocal training (Muscle strength, posture, etc.), lung capacity, and so on. A person is by no means guaranteed to sound like their parent. I realize this is the funhouse but people might actually bother to take you seriously if you knew what you were talking about for once.
