!!Tropes Associated With Josh Grelle:
* BadassBaritone: If they voice an adult character or a more serious-minded archetype character, expect the character's voice to be this.
* {{Determinator}}[=/=]KidHero: Some of their best known roles fall into this category. [[Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple Kenichi Shirahama]], [[Literature/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts Akihisa Yoshii]], [[Literature/ShakuganNoShana Yuuji Sakai]], [[Manga/{{Freezing}} Kazuya Aoi]], and [[Manga/FutureDiary Yukiteru Amano]] are some of the top examples in the list.
* HaremGenre: A lot of their roles happen to be protagonists of this trope, so much so fans have nicknamed them the "Harem King". Stand-out examples include [[Literature/DateALive Shido Itsuka]], [[Literature/HighSchoolDXD Issei Hyoudou]], [[Manga/TheQuintessentialQuintuplets Fuutarou Uesugi]], [[Literature/InfiniteStratos Ichika Orimura]] and [[LightNovel/InAnotherWorldWithMySmartphone Touya Mochizuki]].
* ManOfAThousandVoices: Their vocal range is very wide in spite of the younger-sounding voice they uses for their protagonist roles. Their voice can break deep whenever they needs to tackle an adult character, TheStoic, or a more villainous character. They are also capable of voicing accents such as Lithuania with a stereotypical accent in ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers''; and is one of the few male voice actors whose voice is androgynous enough to voice [[UnsettlingGenderReveal crossdressing characters]] (such as [[Manga/PrincessJellyfish Kuranosuke Koibuchi]])
* PigeonholedVoiceActor: They're pretty much the go to guy for the young protagonist role in any anime series when it comes down to Creator/FUNimation ''and'' Creator/SentaiFilmworks of various types from ButtMonkey[=/=]UnluckyEverydude to a harem protagonist, NiceGuy, and KidHero alike. Regardless of the character's personality, expect them to be TheDeterminator via default or CharacterDevelopment. However, their vocal range is relatively flexible and can play other characters if necessary as seen above.
* PlayingAgainstType: [[spoiler:Akira Amamiya]][[labelnote:spoiler]][[AbusiveParent abusive older brother]][[/labelnote]], Akira Agarkar Yamada[[note]]ComicallySerious [[TheStoic stoic]] adult disguised as a high school student[[/note]], and [[spoiler: Tomohiko Kazami]] [[labelnote:spoiler]]Student that went [[AxCrazy batshit insane]] after the explosion in the mansion.[[/labelnote]]. Not only that, these roles are the roles where Josh uses a deeper voice for those characters.
** They also voiced [[Manga/CorpsePrincess Akasha Shishidou]], who happens to be a villain.
** In ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', they voice the AxeCrazy GigglingVillain Tyrian. According to their recent Twitter, they're actually enjoying playing this (in their own words) 'psycho' role.
