[RPG] Can a Druid/Warlock multiclass use Voice of the Chain Master to speak through their familiar while in Wild Shape

Pact of the Chain Warlocks have access to an invocation called Voice of the Chain Master:

Voice of the Chain Master

Prerequisite: Pact of the Chain feature

You can communicate telepathically with your familiar and perceive through your familiar's senses as long as you are on the same plane of existence. Additionally, while perceiving through your familiar's senses, you can also speak through your familiar in your own voice, even if your familiar is normally incapable of speech.

One of the limitations of the Druid's Wild Shape feature is as follows:

You can't cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form.

If a Druid/Warlock multiclass had this invocation, could they speak through their familiar, even while using Wild Shape to assume a form that does not have any languages?

Voice of the Chain Master:

Wild shape:

As the rules are written you don't have a voice if you wildshape into, say, a bear and therefore Voice of the Chain Master wouldn't work. If you wildshaped into something that could speak then you can use it.

Voice of the Chain Master makes the distinction between telepathy, which allows you to communicate with your familiar, and speaking through them. With that distinction in mind, the rules appear to state that your wildshaped form must be capable of speech also.
