But he doesn't look and sound like Clark. Clark has a higher, less confident, and more causal voice then Superman.
Clark also stoops forward and draws his shoulders in, making himself look shorter and more narrow in the chest then Superman.
Clark's glasses also help change the shape of his face, giving the illusion that his face is softer and rounder.
You can see this when Clark shows up at Lois' apartment and contemplates letting her in on his secret.

The fact that Superman drops Lois off on her balcony and before she can even go indoors, Clark waiting for her at the front door Little things like that miiight just help sell the illusion in that movie world.

In the comic book Lois was suspicious of Clark, but Superman would always find some trick to make her abandon the notion that Clark was Superman. He had lots of dummies and robots to send flying by at a convenient moment, speaking in super-ventriloquism to complete the illusion.

how would anyone NOT KNOW it's the same guy. Lol. So so dumb
It's funny you should say that. I remember an episode of Lois and Clark: TAOS where the evil genius was using time travel to ply his evil trade and right before revealing Superman's identity to Lois he says something like 'Lois Lane who in years to come will become known as the stupidest woman in history' precisely because she was the only person equally close to both Clark and Superman and still didn't work it out.

Nothing could be as bad as 1970's Wonder Woman where the only difference between her and Diana Prince was the glasses and updo, no personality or voice difference whatsoever. Then in the later seasons, I think she even ditched the glasses and went to just a ponytail if memory serves. I was just a teenager, but I remember thinking how completely dumb that was.

Back in college, I had my then-girlfriend watch the movie with me for the first time. She wasn't familiar with Chris Reeve, and really didn't know much about the Superman character. I didn't think she was serious at first, but she was ADAMANT that Superman and Kent were played by different actors. The first hour of the movie, she'd rewind the tape a couple times to point out that they had different complexions (Superman was tanned while Kent was pasty), different heights, eyes, etc., etc. She believed that literally up to the point that Clark takes his glasses off in Lois' apartment. So yeah, the disguise can fool some people at least.

The disguise is actually smarter than people give it credit for. Nobody is going to assume that Superman would ever have a secret-identity, let alone choose
that
secret identity. That's like assuming that Denzel Washington is your college professor just because it looks like him.
