    Default Copyright.

    If someone uses my voice in a video without my permission would that allow me to file a copyright complaint against the video under the copyright law within the UK?

    No, your voice isn't copyrighted.

    Probably. You own your voice 100% so if someone steals it then maybe?

    It probably comes under something, but not copyright. Anyway, I'm sure it's only trivial, so just request that your voice be removed from said video.

    Audio is like a theme song or music, if voices were copyrighted half of TV would probably be sued.

    Are you singing? That might make a difference but it's not actual copyright but singers on recording have rights. They should have asked your permission to use it though. All people appearing in a video should give their consent to being used and sign a release form. I am surprised Misawa didn't know this given his profession. You would really have to tell us a bit more though. It is professional, youtube etc etc.
