You may be paid on multiple theories and causes of action. But first it would be important to know if you have tried to resolve this informally? As you can guess by the number of responses you received, you may very well have a great case.
I would be willing to discuss some of the issues concerning your experience to see if there may be legal justification to pursue your case.
I offer prospective clients an initial consultation of 30 minutes for free.
I look forward to speaking with you.
Yours truly,

Sounds like a good lawsuit to me! Assuming you can prove it's your voice (which you could do with witness testimony).
Re: voice on an album
From the facts given, you have a VERY strong case for payment. If you have proof, simply contact our Law Firm for further legal assistance and/or aggressive representation.
Re: voice on an album
Did they release the song with your actual voice or someone else singing your part? I would need to know more facts.
