ventriloquistic
Voice seems elsewhere
Ventriloquistic describes speech or performance in the manner of a ventriloquist—projecting voice so it seems to come from elsewhere, typically a puppet or dummy.
The word extends to any situation where one party speaks through another: The statement had a ventriloquistic quality, as if the CEO were mouthing words written by lawyers.
