* Creator/PaulFrees could also do a bunch of characters. In ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'' alone, he was Boris Badenov, Captain Peter Peachfuzz, Inspector Fenwick, Cloyd, and the narrator of Dudley Do-Right, as well as hundreds of additional voices. Away from ''Rocky and Bullwinkle'', he was also the Pillsbury Doughboy, [[ActingForTwo both George and John in The Beatles cartoon]], The Thing from ''WesternAnimation/TheFantasticFour1967'', ''Franchise/TheHauntedMansion'''s very own Ghost Host, and Tony Curtis' female voice in ''Film/SomeLikeItHot''.

* Creator/MelBlanc is the TropeNamer, and for good reason -- he handled the voices of most of the cast of ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', and even more characters after that. WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck, WesternAnimation/PorkyPig, Sylvester Cat, Tweety Bird, WesternAnimation/YosemiteSam, WesternAnimation/PepeLePew, WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales, WesternAnimation/FoghornLeghorn, Marvin the Martian, the Tasmanian Devil, Barney Rubble from ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''... need we go on?
** We may have to. His [=IMDB=] profile lists 1,235 credits for film and TV alone, and animation experts think that his complete filmography may never be tallied.
** From ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'': '''JETSOOOOOOON! [[GeorgeJetsonJobSecurity YOU'RE FIRED!]]'''
** Don't forget Heathcliff from ''WesternAnimation/HeathcliffAndTheCatillacCats''.
** He even voiced Jack Benny's ''[[TheAllegedCar car]]'' from ''Radio/TheJackBennyProgram''.
** The only major ''Looney Tunes'' character Blanc ''didn't'' voice was WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd; he was voiced by Arthur Q. Bryan. Mostly. He did voice one line of Fudd's for ''WesternAnimation/WhatsOperaDoc'' (The shouted "SMOG!!!" when Bryan couldn't put enough "oomph" behind the line), and did sporadically take over the character after Arthur Q.

** He was also the voice of Twiki on ''Series/BuckRogersInTheTwentyFifthCentury'' and Mr. [=MacKenzie=] in ''Film/StrangeBrew''. He even showed up on '''''Series/PerryMason''''' playing the voice of a parrot!
* Creator/JuneForay, to the point where Creator/ChuckJones said of her: "June Foray is not the female Mel Blanc. Mel Blanc is the male June Foray." She kept at it for at least six decades.
** Granny for most of the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes shorts since 1955, when she replaced Bea Benaderet.
** Rocket J Squirrel/Natasha Fatale/Nell Fenwick/every female character (''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'')
** Cindy-Lou Who in the original ''WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas''
** Jokey Smurf (''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'')
** Granny Gummi (''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears'')
** Witch Hazel. Both the Creator/{{Disney}} one and the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes one.
** Grandma Fa in ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}''.
* In the industry, Creator/FrankWelker is known as the real king of this -- just check [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0919798 his IMDB filmography.]] It's easier to list what he ''hasn't'' done than to try and list everything he's worked on. (Incidentally, a collaboration search on IMDB between Mel Blanc and Frank Welker shows they've shared credits 22 times.) He's especially well known for animal voices.
** He even came close to voicing ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'''s Scrappy-Doo.[[note]]Before anyone freaks out at this, it was ''before'' ExecutiveMeddling (in the form of TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong) turned that character into, well, TheScrappy.[[/note]]
** The ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/EvilConCarne'' cast and crew used Frank to do most animal voices on the show, and often commented on their awe of his ability to portray, in a single take, an entire flock of geese.
** Apparently, Welker is so good at doing animal sounds that some studios hire him just to do that. Chances are, if you're watching a cartoon and there's an animal in it that makes a sound it's Welker (and if it's not Frank, it's Creator/DeeBradleyBaker).
** There's a story that during the casting of ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'', another actor brought in to read for the part of Bronx (the "dog") said, "I'll just hold this [script] until Frank gets here."
** Frank was brought on to do lion roars in ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}'' where they had absences of recorded roars from actual lions. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Orv9OJDUnWM See him in action here.]]
--->'''Commenter:''' I always come here whenever I need to be reminded that a lion's roar is not as powerful as some guy named Frank with a trash can.
** Welker once appeared on ''[[Creator/OneSaturdayMorning Manny The Uncanny]]'' and did a capuchin monkey distress call. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq48dhbWfIQ#t=0m39s And he got a reaction from actual capuchin monkeys.]] ''That's'' how good the guy is.
** For these reasons he's one of the highest-grossing film actors ''of all time'' by a margin of just under a billion US dollars (albeit not adjusted for inflation). Impressive.
** In an interview with a voice actor on a ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' DVD (he was the voice of Megatron and Soundwave, among others), he says that Welker could perform a call on a pay phone -- the coin dropping in the slot, the ringing, the operator, and both sides of the conversation -- with ease.
** In Season One of ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'', he single-handily voiced over half the Decepticon cast. [[note]] the only exceptions were Starscream (voiced by Chris Latta), Thundercracker (voiced by John Stephenson), and Shockwave (voiced by Corey Burton) [[/note]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQWWG1r2e7k Here's a scene]] from an early episode where, with the exception of Thundercracker, ''every single character'' is voiced by Welker, including one scene where he's essentially throttling himself.
** Worth noting that unlike Mel Blanc, self-admitted man of "only" 850 voices, Frank may be the only person in the world to play this trope ''literally'' —- he has over 1200 under his belt.
* Creator/CharlieAdler is apparently just as proficient at playing young boys (and even ''girls''!) as he is at playing burly, arrogant, older men. To put this into a bit of context, he voiced 4/5 of the main characters in ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken'' and all of them have ''very'' distinct voices.
* Sean Crisden. This is easily seen by playing ''VideoGame/KingdomRush'', as he's the ''only'' voice actor doing all of the numerous distinct voices for all of the game's towers.
* Creator/CharlesMartinet has a vocal range a mile wide. On one end, you have Super Mario from ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' and most of the male characters from that series. On the other, you have Paarthurnax from ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim''. [[https://youtu.be/e1dDYnqUZ8E?t=661 Listen to the difference here.]] Yes, you'll probably find it hard to believe both are indeed voiced by him.
* Creator/TreyParkerAndMattStone are known to voice every male character in ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' (with a few exceptions), as well as every overdubbed voice in their movies. They are both capable of performing very different voices, sometimes they don't even bother trying. ''Keep in mind most of the characters are 9-10 year old children''.
* In ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'', Paul Schoeffler and Peter Fernandez both provide the voices for a good chunk of the show's side characters and villains. Schoeffler's roles include, but are not limited to Katz, Le Quack, the Snowman, Freaky Fred, Cajun Fox, Dr. Vindaloo, and no two of them sound remotely alike.
* Creator/MichaelBell. Lampshaded in the ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKainSoulReaver2'' outtakes where Rene Auberjonois describes Michael as "The man of many voices." to which Michael responds "I'm the man of one voice, you just think it's a thousand."
* Creator/JeffBennett. An extreme case is ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'', in which he plays nearly every character other than the three main characters.
** Including a semi-recurring ''[[CrossDressingVoices woman]].''
* There's Bill Scott, who voiced literally over a hundred characters on WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle, including the lead characters, Bullwinkle, Mr. Peabody, Dudley Do-Right, Fearless Leader, and Gidney, all sounding nothing alike.
* Creator/PaulFrees could also do a bunch of characters. In ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'' alone, he was Boris Badenov, Captain Peter Peachfuzz, Inspector Fenwick, Cloyd, and the narrator of Dudley Do-Right, as well as hundreds of additional voices. Away from ''Rocky and Bullwinkle'', he was also the Pillsbury Doughboy, [[ActingForTwo both George and John in The Beatles cartoon]], The Thing from ''WesternAnimation/TheFantasticFour1967'', ''Franchise/TheHauntedMansion'''s very own Ghost Host, and Tony Curtis' female voice in ''Film/SomeLikeItHot''. That's just a start. He was essentially the Creator/CoreyBurton of his day (in fact, Burton has his own Paul Frees impression and has even replaced some of his voices after Frees died in 1986).
* Creator/JBBlanc is a Man of a Thousand Voices and Accents, as shown in his roles as Zinyak (''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'') and ''VideoGame/DragonsCrown'''s narrator (British), El Fuerte from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' (Mexican), Boris Vyacheslavovich Popov from ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' (Russian), Phillipe Loren from ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'' (French - sorry, [[InsistentTerminology Belgian]]), and Ryotaro Dojima from ''VideoGame/Persona4'' (American).
* Creator/DawsButler was well-known for voicing many characters in Creator/HannaBarbera's cartoons, including Elroy Jetson (''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons''), WesternAnimation/YogiBear, WesternAnimation/QuickDrawMcGraw, and WesternAnimation/{{Snagglepuss}}.
** He also voiced multiple incidental characters on ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle''.
* Creator/CamClarke is one of these. Just a few of his varied roles include:
** ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' - Leonardo, Rocksteady, Mung, [=OverDrive=]
** ''VideoGame/JadeEmpire'' - Sky
** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' - Liquid Snake
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' - Kratos Aurion
** ''VideoGame/Drakengard3'' - Decadus
** ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' - Shotaro Kaneda (in the original Streamline dub, replaced with Creator/JohnnyYongBosch in the Pioneer dub)
** ''SnoopyTheMusical'' - Snoopy
** ''WesternAnimation/TimonAndPumbaa'' - Simba
** ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' - Blood Elf Male, Malygos
** ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse2002'' - He-Man
** ''VideoGame/Killer7'' - Andrei Ulmeyda
* Creator/JimCummings. He's voiced everyone from Franchise/WinnieThePooh ([[ActingForTwo and Tigger, too!]]) to Disney's WesternAnimation/{{Pete}} and two versions of Dr. Robotnik, ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'' (though only in the pilot, as Creator/LongJohnBaldry provided a different voice for him in the series proper) and ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM''.
-->'''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic''': [[LittleKnownFacts Little known fact]], Jim Cummings' voice as Negaduck (''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'') kills five puppies every single time he speaks.
* On ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' alone, Creator/DanCastellaneta, Creator/HarryShearer and Creator/HankAzaria fit this trope. In fact, Yeardley Smith is the only member of the regular cast to focus on only one character (and even she has rarely done an additional one).
** Dan's range in particular made him a good choice to replace Creator/RobinWilliams as the voice of the Genie in the sequel and TV spinoff of ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin|The Series}}''.
* Creator/TomKenny was once actually called this at a Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards show, where he served as an announcer. He's worked as a main or supporting character on every animated series to ever come out of Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} or Creator/CartoonNetwork.
** One notable example is ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'', where he not only voices Starscream, but also half a dozen of his clones, each with their own personality quirk. (Slipstream, the female clone, is played by Tara Strong, who is also on this page.)
* Creator/SethMacFarlane, who voices all the major male characters in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', and two of the main characters in ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad''. Just... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYjnVE6ZXtU see this Hulu commercial]]. He can also sing in all of his voices.
* Creator/TressMacNeille, Creator/KathSoucie, Creator/GreyDeLisle and Creator/TaraStrong. Any modern American cartoon will have at least one of these four voices in it at some point. If a character in an American cartoon is female (or a child in some cases), chances are it's one of them. (Unless she's Asian, in which case it's Creator/LaurenTom, or if [[SassyBlackWoman black]], Creator/CreeSummer.)
* While the ''characters'' Creator/GreyDeLisle's put in are very much pigeonholed, her range is anything but.
** Rarely do any of her voices sound alike (except when they scream). Sam Manson (''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'') sounds nothing like Mandy (''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''), who sounds nothing like Frankie Foster (''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends''), Vicky (''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''), or the other Vicky (''Franchise/BaldursGate'').
** An extreme case is ''WesternAnimation/DanVs'', where [=DeLisle=] voices nearly every minor female character and nearly every child.
** The comparison that breaks brains: [=DeLisle=] has voiced both Azula (''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'') and Tootie (''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''). How much more varied can you get?
* Creator/TaraStrong has been heard as [[CrossDressingVoices 10-year old boy]] Timmy Turner from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', gothic superheroine Raven from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' as well as the minor character [[AlphaBitch Kitten]], Twilight Sparkle in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', GenkiGirl Rikku in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', [[JekyllAndHyde split-personalitied]] DarkMagicalGirl Elisa/Ursula in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid: Portable Ops'', Ben Tennyson on ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'', EmotionlessGirl Presea on ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'', both Toot Braunstein and Princess Clara on ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'', Truffles in ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'', and even Batgirl (''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'')... ''and'' Harley Quinn. She's possibly best known as Bubbles from ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998''. Despite voice acting not typically being a very lucrative career, she's done so many voices that she's able to afford a large house in Los Angeles (as seen on ''Take Home Chef'').
** Also known to stand-in for ''other'' voice actresses when a singing role is required, as exemplified when she stood in for Creator/MilaKunis' voice of Meg Griffin on ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' when Meg [[NonSingingVoice was required to sing extensively]].
** Strong's performance as Raven deserves special mention, since the times she played Raven further demonstrate her incredible range: she gave Raven a [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan]] raspy voice in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', then when she reprised the role in ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'', she gave Raven a voice that was [[EvilSoundsDeep deeper]] and several times more menacing.
* Creator/CreeSummer. Who has she voiced? Well, let's see...Numbuh 5 (''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'') [[PluckyGirl (Abigail Lincoln)]], [[TheDanza Cree Lincoln]], [[Advertising/MAndMs the green M&M]], Dulcy the Dragon (''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM''), Medusa (''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising''), Foxxy Love (''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether''), and of course, Penny (''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'')!
* Creator/DonMessick - From WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo, to Boo-Boo Bear, to Ranger Smith, to Falcon 7, to Zorak, to Atom Ant, to Mr. Peebles, to Astro, to Scrappy Doo. He could do anything.
* Creator/RobPaulsen has a voice credit list a mile long:
** For example: Raphael (''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987''), Yakko Warner and Pinky (''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''), Jack Fenton (''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''), Saber Rider (''Anime/SaberRiderAndTheStarSheriffs''), and Sal Maroni (''WesternAnimation/BatmanGothamKnight'') all sound nothing alike. The Maroni voice does sound like a deeper, scarier, and slightly Brooklyn version of Technus (''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''), though.
** And Anomen (''VideoGame/BaldursGateII'') sounds nothing like those characters listed above.
** His normal voice sounds rather like Raphael.
** He did minor characters including Atchan from ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi''.
** He also plays as Cyborg Ninja/[[spoiler:Grey Fox]] in the ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' remake ''The Twin Snakes''.
** Many of his characters are recognizable by their smart aleck attitude. Well, except for the gun crazy, time-traveling, macho redneck, Officer Buck Tuddrussell (''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'')...
* Creator/PatFraley has one of the longest credit lists ever, and he is so proficient in voice acting that he beat out several talented nominees like Bob Bergen for the voice over lifetime achievement, which takes at least ''25 years'' or more to be nominated for. Considering that he did the voices for Krang, General Traag, Baxter Stockman, Burne Thompson, all from ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'', and many other characters [[ActingForTwo all on the same show, and sometimes in the same scenes]], his award was definitely earned with his vast talent.
** He's also Marshall Moo Montana on ''WesternAnimation/WildWestCowboysOfMooMesa''.
* Put Creator/BillyWest in a room, give him a script and a mike and you can do a complete show with 20+ individual voices. In ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' alone he was the Professor, Fry, Zoidberg, Zapp Brannigan, Nixon and half of any background/supporting characters you see. And all of this after he first came to public attention as the voice of both Ren ''and'' Stimpy after John Kricfalusi was fired from the series.
** Billy West seemed to have actively set out to become one, claiming to have been heavily influenced by Creator/MelBlanc, Daws Butler and Don Messick. In fact, he himself has provided voiceover for several of the iconic Looney Tunes characters his inspirations had previously voiced.
** Also notable is that his already impressive range also includes voices that can normally only be achieved by digital altering, like a semi-recurring EnergyBeing from WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}. But nope, that flangy alien voice is all from Billy's vocal cords (the DVD commentary even stated that they had to temporarily shut down the recording studio because they thought the sound equipment was messed up when they were recording Billy's lines -- until they found out later that Billy's voice could go that high).
* Like Creator/BillyWest above, Creator/JohnDiMaggio has developed a wide range of voices himself. From robots (''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'') to psychotic penguins (''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar''), mad scientists and bikers (''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'') to aliens (''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien''), even annoying TalkingAnimal sidekicks (''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' and ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex''), this dude has been around the curve more than once.
** What, did you forget that he also played [[Comicbook/{{AquaMan}} The King of the Oceans]] on ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold''?
** Speaking of Batman, he also gave a memorable and chilling performance as Comicbook/TheJoker in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood''.
** He's also grizzled space marine Marcus Fenix (''VideoGame/GearsOfWar''). Some fans did pick up on him slipping into Bender's yelling voice when Marcus is [[spoiler:having a breakdown yelling at Aaron Griffin after Dom's HeroicSacrifice]] however.
** Additionally, he's a talented beatboxer. Anytime there's beatboxing done on ''Futurama', it's all him.
*** There's a reason why he also voiced Fry's childhood friend Noticibly F.A.T.
** He was the voice of Hak Foo in ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'', replacing Jim Cummings from the second season on. And you can hardly tell the difference.
** He's also both Wakka and TheStoic Kimahri in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' and they sound nothing like each other.
*** Also, he plays Migelo the shopkeeper and father figure to Vaan and Penelo as well as voicing Gilgamesh in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' and they don't sound much like any of his other roles. Migelo sounds very distinct especially.
* Creator/MauriceLaMarche as well. Most of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'''s aliens are voiced by Maurice (Kif, Morbo, Lrrr, etc.) as are a few robots (Calculon, Hedonism-bot) and a kick-ass narrator [[TheOtherDarrin understudied by Billy West in one episode]]. ("You watched it! You can't un-watch it!")
** He's also The Brain (''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain''). The man does the greatest Creator/OrsonWelles and Creator/VincentPrice impersonations of all time.
** It's a RunningGag on the Futurama commentaries that Maurice will declare that the voices of Lrrr (Ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8!), Morbo and the Horrible Gelatinous Blob, all three of which are voiced by him, are completely different. On one occasion, he ''proved it''.
** In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'', he did 29 ''different'' characters in the span of 22 minutes.
* All three ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' voice actors mentioned above have referred to fellow voice (and live action) actor Dave Herman as one of these as well. In addition to providing the voices of recurring characters like Scruffy the Janitor, Roberto the psychotic criminal robot, and Mayor Poopenmeyer, he's often the "go-to" guy for incidental and secondary characters. Billy West in particular has praised him for being able to create unique and often hilarious voices for characters that only appear for a few seconds of screen time.
%%* Creator/PaulWinchell (father of voice actress April Winchell), both as a ventriloquist and as a cartoon voice actor.
* Creator/PhilLaMarr voices numerous black characters in western animation, in addition to a variety of other roles.
** Including a Romanian bisexual immortal with a knife fetish (''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'')
** Including a Samurai named Jack (''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'')
** Including an emperor who is more honorable than Shao Kahn (''Franchise/MortalKombat'')
** Including a brain of a Mexican playboy who wants to rule the world (''WesternAnimation/EvilConCarne'')
** Including a giant freaking robot (''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'') who's freaking giant even by giant freaking robot standards. '''I am... OMEGA SUPREME!''' ([[TheOtherDarrin in season three anyway]].)
** He again shows amazing range in ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'', voicing Count Veger, Sig, G.T. Blitz and Duke Skyheed.
** His black guy roles are pretty diverse as well, including the Jamaican from (''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''), the deep-voiced black guy from (''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''), the young, squeaky-voiced highschooler (''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'') and... uh... Dracula (''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'') - a very old, black Dracula (a Film/{{Blacula}}, if you will).
** He voices quite a few animal characters in ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey''.
** And now he's voiced a Cajun: one Remy Lebeau (''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009'')
** In the PSP re-release of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'' and ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy2015'', he provides the voice of the kind and soft-spoken hero Ramza Beoulve
* Creator/JenniferHale. She does so many voices that nearly every show she appears in features her [[ActingForTwo playing multiple roles]]. Despite being pigeonholed in Videogame Voice Acting, she has a ''much'' wider range of roles in animation, from {{Action Girl}}s to villainous children, to even Cinderella.
* Kara Tritton is a voice actress who voiced over a hundred talking household items in ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues''. She holds the world record for the [[SeriousBusiness most voices ever done in a single TV show.]]
* Creator/CoreyBurton, most famous for Brainiac from ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' (and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', and ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperheroes'') but also frequently various Franchise/{{Transformers}}.
** Including the CreepyMonotone of Shockwave, though the ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' version of Megatron sounds more recognizable if you last heard him as Brainiac.
** Creator/StanFreberg also recruited him to replace Paul Frees (one of the all-time great voice actors) as the narrator for his ''United States of America'' record after Frees' death.
** He's also Dale from ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers''.
** He also does a mean Creator/ChristopherLee impression (''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' and ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'').
** Corey is also the current voice actor for Captain Hook (''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'') and Ludwig Von Drake (''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'').
* The creators of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick, in addition to doing all the writing, concept art, and most of the producing/directing, also do the voices of a ridiculous amount of characters in-show, from main characters to bit pieces. A bit less range than some of the names here, but if you do 90% of the voice acting on one show, you deserve to be here.
** Publick's prolific voice acting also extends to ''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}'' where (credited under his birth name Chris [=McCulloch=]) he voices a New York-accented tough guy named Nicky, the raspy ManChild Ash, a flamboyant gay inmate named Paul, The Prison Mogul (aka the Warden's sadistic father seen in flashbacks), the Ultraprison guard Bruce (in all appearances [[TheOtherDarrin after "Ladies' Night"]]), and the gratuitously German Doctor, among many ''many'' more characters (usually inmates or bit parts, to the point where he can't remember all his roles because he's assigned the minor ones so often).
** Publick is also the voices (plural) of ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightvale'' resident Hiram [=McDaniels=], a literal five-headed dragon. Each head has its own distinct voice and personality.
* Creator/BobBergen. Has voiced the titular ''Anime/LupinIII'', Porky Pig and other ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' characters on a number of occasions, and is Lucas Arts' choice of voice actor for Luke Skywalker.
* Lorne Lanning, creator of the ''VideoGame/{{Oddworld}}'' series, is the voice of every PlayerCharacter and most {{NPC}}'s.
* Creator/DeeBradleyBaker has become specialized in doing creature/animal voices. For example, most of the aliens in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'', Perry of WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb, and Appa and Momo of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''). He has also voiced numerous minor human characters, such as about ten different characters in ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' and WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents.
** He's also a monument to all of your sins (''Franchise/{{Halo}}'')
** And Olmec (''Series/LegendsOfTheHiddenTemple''). Oh yeah!
** And an army of clones (''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch'', ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'').
*** This one's particularly notable in that he has to put numerous minor variations on what is essentially the same voice.
** He also voices the Co-op robots in Portal 2.
** And who could forget the one-and-only VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe?
* Brendon Small, as well as being an excellent writer/director, voices Skwisgaar, Pickles, Nathan, and Charles in ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'', as well as many roles in ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies'', and various other minor roles in cartoons including ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce''.
* Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor is well known to have large flexibility in voice acting. He voice acting ranges from {{Keet}} Tidus from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' to Ratchet from ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank'', Obi-Wan Kenobi from ''Franchise/StarWars'', ComicBook/GreenArrow from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'', the titular character of ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'', Fred Flintstone from ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' and Wooldoor Sockbat from ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether''. He's a man of thousands of voices, and makes you wonder why his {{anime}} roles are very small and limited, justified since he [[GoshDangItToHeck despises profanity]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5oLAff_oDo Listen for yourself to believe it!]]
* Creator/ClayMartinCroker is able to shift from raspy Zorak and deep Moltar (''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'') to hammy Dr. Weird and quirky Steve (''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'') with a surprisingly good range for a voice actor and animator. Not only he is a man of a thousand voices but also an animator of those thousand voices.
* Creator/NathanCarlson is not only able to voice hundreds of characters from ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi'' and ''Radio/AdventuresInOdyssey'' but is also known as the GutturalGrowler Lizard (''VideoGame/SpiderMan3'').
* Chances are, if you play a video game, Creator/NolanNorth is in it. He's even played black guys at times.
** To the point where there's a "Nolan North" voice option for the Boss in ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV''.
%%* Despite his range going from sweet and innocent to rough and serious characters, Creator/WillFriedle has played a good number of roles himself. Some of his characters even play homage to his other roles.
* Creator/DaranNorris has played both the wicked Vincent from the ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' movie and the idiotic Cosmo from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', as well as Spotswoode from ''Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice'', Belze in ''VideoGame/GodHand'', several characters from ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' and MadScientist Rodyle in ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia''.
* Creator/NancyCartwright: perhaps best known as Bart Simpson (''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''), also voices [[TheBully Nelson]], Ralph Wiggum, and Todd Flanders, along with Chuckie Finster (''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}''), Rufus (''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''), Margo Sherman (''WesternAnimation/TheCritic''), and a host of other characters.
* Brendan O'Brien, in the first four ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' games alone, voiced [[TheUnintelligible Crash Bandicoot]], [[MadScientist Doctor Neo Cortex]] ([[TheOtherDarrin before Clancy Brown took over starting with the second game]]), [[TheDragon Doctor Nitrus Brio]], [[TheIgor Doctor N. Gin]], [[DumbMuscle Tiny Tiger]] and [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Pinstripe Potoroo]].
* [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0413996/ Roger L. Jackson]] is most famous for his role as the voice of Ghostface in all ''Film/{{Scream}}'' movies, in contrast with Mojo Jojo of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''. He's done over 100 video game roles, as many named characters as extras, including at least 8 distinct characters throughout the ''VideoGame/SamAndMax'' series.
* Creator/JimWard the resident Voice Deity/ConspiracyTheorist on ''Radio/TheStephanieMillerShow'', and gets plenty of requests for his imitations of Wolf Blitzer, Kim Jong-il, and Tom Brokaw. He's also the voice actor of Diamondhead, [=XLR8=], and Wildvine (''WesternAnimation/Ben10''), Chet Ubetcha (''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''), Captain Qwark (''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank''), Maximillian Strauss, Baron Isaac Abrams, and Brother Grünfeld Bach (''Videogame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines''), and many, many other works, like ''Anime/PorcoRosso'', ''Anime/SpiritedAway'', ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans'', ''VideoGame/Killer7'', ''VideoGame/DirgeOfCerberus'', ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'', and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4''.
* Creator/LaniMinella is definitely one. She's been voicing video game characters since 1994; IMDB lists at least 400 acting credits to her name. She's been in ''Videogame/{{Starcraft}}'', ''Videogame/{{Diablo}}'', ''Videogame/WorldOfWarcraft'', ''VideoGame/NancyDrew'', well, it would be easier to list the games she isn't in. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm1BGVfqWC0 That video really shows her talent.]]
* Keith Ferguson in ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar II'' does the voice of the Heretics, the Commisar, Plague Marines, various Orks including the Grot, and the ranger Rohnan from the Eldar Campaign in Retribution. He also does the voice of Bloo from ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' and Reaper from ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}''.
* Creator/DavidKaye [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_MIzYkNW7c is simply amazing]]-- and those are just the roles he's played in Transformers cartoons.
** David Kaye is one of the few people, if not the ''only'' person, who has voiced both Optimus Prime ''and'' Megatron.
* Creator/HarryPartridge usually voices every character to appear in his cartoons himself. [[CrossdressingVoices EVERY one.]]
* Creator/RodgerBumpass. Squidward (''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'') sounds absolutely nothing like Professor Membrane (''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'').
* Creator/JessHarnell: His Wakko (''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'') voice sounds nothing like Captain Hero (''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether''). Then again, he's got a four-octave range.
* Creator/DwightSchultz of ''Series/TheATeam'' fame is a very prolific voice actor. He turns up in a lot of video games and animated shows. He's very good at switching accents and doing impressions.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek''
** In ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries,'' James Doohan and Majel Barrett show more range than you'd expect of them if you can only imagine the former saying "She canna take much more of this" and the latter saying "Unable to comply." The series had NoBudget, so ''every'' male guest star was Doohan and ''every'' female guest star was Barrett. Exceptions are extremely rare (Harry Mudd gets his original TOS actor, for example.) You'd never be able to tell.
** In ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' Doohan also voiced a few computers, disembodied spirits, and unseen characters.
* Play through the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' games as Guy!Shep. Every time you talk to a hanar, fight a vorcha, or attempt to understand Niftu Cal, Creator/MarkMeer is talking to himself. Amazed yet?.
* Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson is known for his deep bass-baritone voice, but sometimes he can show off his range by going into highs such as the Joker (''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'') and Cleveland Junior (''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'').
* Joe Alaskey, who played most of the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' characters at various times (''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction''; ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers''; ''WesternAnimation/TheSylvesterAndTweetyMysteries'') was the second Grandpa Pickles in ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', dubbed Jackie Gleason for a reconstructed episode of ''Series/TheHoneymooners'', and was the go-to guy for replacing swears in TV edits of movies.
* Jack Mercer, most famous for playing the role of WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}} in the bulk of his original cartoons, had an astoundingly versatile voice range for someone who never had professional training in voice acting. Besides being able to Popeye, whose voice is notoriously difficult to perform, he also voiced WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat (along with ''every'' other character) in the Trans-Lux TV cartoons. In the Fleischer and Famous cartoons, he frequently voiced many incidental characters, both major and minor for decades on end.
* Creator/JustinRoiland has a large amount of roles, ranging from Oscar in ''WesternAnimation/FishHooks'' to Lemongrab in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''. But the crowning achievement goes to his show ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', where he not only voices the titular duo, but hundreds of other characters, including Mr. Meeseeks & Mr. Poopy Butthole.
* Canadian voice actor, Creator/ScottMcCord has an endless list of voices which include (but not limited to); Owen, Trent, Brody, and Jacques (''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama''), Skull Boy (''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom''), Dan Kuso (''Anime/{{Bakugan}}''), [=McGee=] (''WesternAnimation/CampLakebottom''), Yang (''WesternAnimation/YinYangYo''), Martin Troublemeyer (''WesternAnimation/{{Sidekick}}''), and Squidgy (''WesternAnimation/{{Justin Time|2011}}'').
* Creator/DwayneHill qualifies as well. In ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'', he voices Samy Garvin, General Molotov, the Weavil Chief, Dr. Scientist, ''and'' Dorkus (among others), while in ''WesternAnimation/AtomicBetty'', he's Atomic Roger, Dr. Cerebral, Principal Peterson, Noah's dad, and Dylan, as well as all of Creator/LenCarlson's characters in Season 3 (Minimus, Spindly Tam Kanushu, Greenbeard) -- and none of them even sound remotely like each other! Oh, there's also his role as Three on ''WesternAnimation/SevenLittleMonsters'', which has him doing a new voice every episode for the character's different personas!
* The UrExample would likely be Clarence "Ducky" Nash, the original voice of Donald Duck. In addition to the instantly-recognizable voice of Donald, he also did several spot-on animal noises. A good demonstration would be [[https://youtu.be/VLhW51HMNUY?t=3m46s when he gets in an amusing argument with Donald during an episode of]] [[Series/WaltDisneyPresents Disneyland.]]
* Creator/AlexHirsch, in addition to creating ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' also voiced several of the characters present, including Stan, Soos, Old Man [=McGucket=], Mayor Eustace Hucklebone Befufftlefumpter, Sir Lord Quentin Trembley III, Esq., a member of Sev'ral Timez, Dippy Fresh, and Bill Cipher.
* Creator/{{Brian Froud|Actor}} (no, not the [[Creator/BrianFroud fantasy artist]]) has a very impressive voice range. From the ExtravertedNerd Harold and gamer geek Sam (''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'') to the dopey demon Beezy (''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'') to the hyperactive cartoon mascot Marty (''WesternAnimation/ToonMarty'') to the unassuming Lynch Webber (''WesternAnimation/{{Detentionaire}}'') to the evil [[CrossdressingVoices sorceress]] Magic Master (''WesternAnimation/ChopChopNinja''), he rarely ever does even the most remotely similar-sounding voice twice, as well as some dang good impressions of other cartoon characters.
* What about Creator/CoryDoran? Just listen to Mike and all his [[SplitPersonality Split Personalities]] in ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama''!
* Tom Kane voiced not only Mr. Herriman, but almost every single minor male character on ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends''.
* Most of the voice actors in any given Cosgrove-Hall cartoon series. Usually they only employ a handful of 3 or 4 actors to voice a whole series, but they manage to produce an amazing variety of voices. Even actors brought in specifically for one series because of a certain voice only they can provide prove to be no slouches.
* Creator/JamieWatson. Seriously, how many people would believe you if you said that Quack from ''WesternAnimation/PeepAndTheBigWideWorld'' was the same guy as Ron the Rent-A-Cop on ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'' (and Coach Halder from the same show)? To top it off, he's also Henry on ''WesternAnimation/TimothyGoesToSchool'', Taury on ''WesternAnimation/HarryAndHisBucketFullOfDinosaurs'', the Big Kahuna and Mr. Ridgemount on ''WesternAnimation/{{Stoked}}'', Lokar on ''WesternAnimation/{{Redakai}}'', Massimo and Russell on ''WesternAnimation/ProducingParker'', and Carl the Evil Cockroach Wizard on ''WesternAnimation/YinYangYo'', among other characters.
* Creator/JulieLemieux is probably one of the biggest examples among Canadian voice actresses, being just as capable of pulling off young boys and teenage girls as she is of doing old ladies and powerful villains. Just look at her credits list and try to find how many of her characters sound alike.
* Creator/RobertTinkler. Just check out the list of characters he's voiced: Max on ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfSamAndMaxFreelancePolice'', the title character of ''WesternAnimation/{{Pelswick}}'', Rubeus on ''Anime/SailorMoon'', Delete on ''WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}}'', Howie on ''WesternAnimation/AlmostNakedAnimals'', Woodstock in the current ''Franchise/{{Peanuts}}'' cartoons, Grumpy Bear on the 2000s ''Franchise/CareBears'' direct-to-DVD movies...
* Creator/SonjaBall has voiced Jane Read (''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}''), Polly Esther (''Anime/SamuraiPizzaCats''), Beauty Stem ''and'' Panther Cap (''WesternAnimation/ToadPatrol''), Nai-Nai (''WesternAnimation/SagwaTheChineseSiameseCat''), Huckle Cat (''The Busy World of Creator/RichardScarry''), and many others since the 1980's.
* Creator/TerrenceScammell is the voice of Fur Foot (''WesternAnimation/ToadPatrol''), Guido Anchovie (''Anime/SamuraiPizzaCats''), Darph Bobo (''WesternAnimation/TrippingTheRift'')... and a whole lot more. Try to see if any of the three mentioned sound alike.
* Creator/EricBauza. He voiced Stimpy on ''WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpyAdultPartyCartoon'', Foop on ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', as well as Marvin the Martian on ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'', Tigar Claw from ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'', and recently, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck (among other roles) on ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunesCartoons''.
* Chuck [=McCann=]. Who would have thought Sonny the Cuckoo Bird (''Cocoa Puffs''), The Thing (''WesternAnimation/FantasticFourTheAnimatedSeries''), The Ameoba Boys (''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''), and Duckworth (''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'') were voiced by the same guy?
* Creator/RichLittle has made a career of this, famously voicing UsefulNotes/RichardNixon, Creator/GrouchoMarx, Creator/HumphreyBogart, and Creator/JohnnyCarson, even performing in a one-man show retelling the Myth/RobinHood legend via impressions of celebrities of the day. Oh, and he was also one of the only voice actors to actually speak as WesternAnimation/ThePinkPanther.
* Creator/ChrisDiamantopoulos is not only recognized for his acting chops in the live-action medium, his incredible range as a voice actor is something to behold. To the point where you don't even realize he was voicing a character until you look at the credits. Most notably he is the voice of Mickey Mouse in ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013'', but he's also voiced Darkwing Duck and Storkules in ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'', ROBOTUS in ''WesternAnimation/InsideJob2021'', ComicBook/GreenArrow in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'' and ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} in ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019'', all of them completely unrecognizable from each other. His vocal range is well exemplified in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOdtgrbB-9g this video]].
* Creator/PeterCullen provided both the baritone of [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Optimus Prime]] and the "screechy angry man" voice of [[WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite Murky Dismal]], in two separate shows being produced at the same time. And then there's voices like Franchise/WinnieThePooh's Eeyore.
* John Alderton voiced every character (including female characters like Dilys & Bella) in [[WesternAnimation/FiremanSam Fireman Sam]] Series 1-4. Series 5 did just as well, with one voice actor, John Sparkes, & two voice actresses, Sarah Hadland & Joanna Ruiz, voicing all of the characters.
* Creator/ChrisPhillips may be most known for being the original voice of ExcitedKidsShowHost [[Creator/NickJr Face]], but he has also voiced a wide variety of types ranging from schoolyard bully [[WesternAnimation/{{Doug}} Roger Klotz]] (taking over from Billy West), to helpful yet ditzy father [[WesternAnimation/PBAndJOtter Ernest Otter]], to sadistic occultist [[VideoGame/AloneInTheDark Crowley]], and even [[LargeHam hammy]] gang leader [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIII El Burro]].
* Creator/CharlieSchlatter's resume consists of badass action heroes like [[VideoGame/TheWonderful101 Wonder Red]], [[WesternAnimation/LoonaticsUnleashed Ace Bunny]] and ComicBook/TheFlash, but he's also voiced a couple villains like [[WesternAnimation/Ben10 Kevin Levin]] and [[VideoGame/ApeEscape Specter]] (in the third game). In ''WesternAnimation/PetAlien'', he voices numerous characters who all sound completely different from each other, like young boy Tommy Cadle, American jock Clinton, Old Man Bitters, and [[LargeHam hammy]] black hole warlord Bob. As shown in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'', he can also do a near-perfect imitation of Creator/QuintonFlynn's Raiden.
* Lewis [=MacLeod=] is a Scottish vocal mimic with a range including [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU1gBD4UuEk Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Christopher Walken, Gordon Brown, Boris Johnson and George Galloway.]] He's the official voice of Sebulba and even voiced Obi-Wan (a role played by fellow Scottish actor Creator/EwanMcGregor).
