So, the reason of our voices being different than each other is we actually choose our voices.

That would be a stretch. It's more nature and nurture. Your physical characteristics will impact tonality and what not. You're upbringing will impact cadence, pronouncation, and other influences. Finally, your brain will make its own choices combining all this input into your own voice.

You can consciously influence some parts like pronouncation and accent if you work at it.

I'm sure we do make many choices, some of them quite consciously, that affect the way we speak.

well that and the structure of your respiratory system and shape of your nose and mouth. The slight differences in skeletal structure changes the length, width, diameter, etc. of muscles and tissues that are responsible for speech, making each person have a unique sound
