For many uses, Voice Control works fine with VoiceOver if you are using headphones. Otherwise, there are some issues with it hearing VoiceOver and confusing it. The bottom line in this use case though is I do not think it will help for answering the phone. I would like to be wrong about that.

In fact, this is logical when not using any external listening devices. The mike is constantly listening and so may react in unexpected ways to a word or phrase spoken by Voiceover. So, if you want/need to use voice control, do so with an external device with a microphone. I love voice control for many situations and only wish it could be used to activate features of programs once opened.
