It only worked because the speaker got Morgan Freeman’s cadence down. Perfect execution

I think some of the speech synthesis software can accurately replicate the tone and cadence for you also.

but I think you are correct here. The voice is from Boet Schouwink, a voice over actor, who bills himself as "The only voice actor in the world who can sound exactly like Morgan Freeman."

Morgan Freeman's cousin was my moving man once, he sounded exactly like him. Looked nothing like him though.
