I don't think that is a problem. People would still be fully able to
roleplay, it would just be harder to pretend they are something else
in real life. If a guy wants me to believe he actually is a female,
that's a completely different kind of roleplaying ;)
Remember that many friends have been roleplaying while sitting
face-to-face rolling dice on the table. Knowledge of real life poses
no problems to role-playing.
In fact, I think voice communication could even lead to improved
in-game roleplaying. Obviously, you would in-game text to roleplay
your character. Roleplaying someone's voice would often be terribly
hard, especially for non-native English speakers.
With voice software, all chitchat and out-of-character communication
would default to the voice channel. It would be gone from the game,
and text role play would have been cleaned up a great deal. And I
don't see any problem with a female friend in voice chat doing a
completely in-character emote with her Orc in the game.
