The title says it all.
I was just wondering how it’s possible that every single person’s voice is so unique to each other? It’s all the same systems, the same organs, so how does everyone sound so different? I understand it to a certain extent, but would like to have it explained!

You could say the same with faces, right? All of us have the same systems and the same organs (for the most part), but tiny variations in each of those combine to give each of us a pretty unique face.
The same thing goes with the organs that make up your voice – throat, vocal cords, mouth, tongue. Each of us has slight variations in those parts – slightly thicker vocal cords, a slightly longer neck, a slightly narrower throat, a slightly bigger tongue, etc. Each of those tiny changes (and more!) are going to create a little bit of variance in the sounds that we make. And when you put that together with the fact that we speak many different languages and therefore get used to certain sounds, oral postures, and whatever, and there are gazillions of possible combinations that give each of us a unique voice.
