* Creator/DarinDePaul usually voices brutish villains, but two characters he plays break this mold: Ardyn Izunia from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'', a suave MagnificentBastard; the heroic Gill Grunt from VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}] (from the second game onward), and Reinhardt from ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', one of the most [[NiceGuy unambiguously kindhearted characters]] in the playable roster.

* Creator/LauraBailey, best known for voicing badass ActionGirl heroes like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Lucina]], [[Franchise/StreetFighter Chun-Li]], [[VideoGame/LEGOMarvelSuperHeroes Black Widow]], and [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Blaze the Cat]], also happens to voice [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Platinum the Trinity]], an absolute [[BrattyHalfPint spoiled brat]] of a MagicalGirl, plus [[VideoGame/Skylanders Persephone]], a small bubbly fairy who grants upgrades, as well as a handful of [[ShrinkingViolet Noel Vermillion]]'s lines that Creator/CristinaValenzuela was unable to provide.

* Creator/SteveBlum (who as mentioned earlier voiced Grunt and the Shadow Broker from ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'') is known for voicing true paragons of testosterone and deep voiced characters such as [[WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009 Wolverine]], [[WesternAnimation/Ben10 Vilgax]], and [[Anime/TheBigO Roger Smith]], but did you know he also voiced the titular VideoGame/CrashBandicoot (a [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} wacky]], WesternAnimation/BugsBunny-esque FunnyAnimal) in ''VideoGame/CrashNitroKart''? Or how about when he voiced the freakishly bizarre and flamboyant Monkey Yellow in [[VideoGame/ApeEscape3]]? That alone is a testament to his sheer vocal range.

* Creator/PaulEiding is most well known for his voice as older leader types, in particular [[Franchise/MetalGear Col. Roy Campbell]]. It may come as a surprise to learn he was the voice of MadScientist Professor Hojo from ''[[VideoGame/DirgeOfCerberus Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII]]''.

** She plays this trope straight in her roles as [[VideoGame/NierAutomata A2]] and [VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077 V]].

* Creator/CheramiLeigh usually voices refined LadyOfWar, TeamMom types. Rhea from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' fits this pigeonholing ''most'' of the time, [[spoiler: except on the Crimson Flower route, where she [[AxCrazy goes terrifyingly, violently insane]]]].

* Creator/BriannaKnickerbocker is often associated with NiceGirl, ShrinkingViolet, and TheQuietOne type characters. In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' have this along with PigeonholedVoiceActor. Sakura is the [[JustForPun kind]] of character she would normally voice, but Charlotte is a BitchInSheepsClothing that likes to flirt with men.

* Creator/MatthewMercer is most well known for voicing characters with a baritone, such as Chrom in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' or [=McCree=] in ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', but his performance as [=MacCready=] in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}}'' employs a higher-pitched, youthful voice that can easily be mistaken for Creator/YuriLowenthal. He also completely disappears into the role of the wise-yet-campy CloudCuckooLander [=Yusuke=] in ''VideoGame/Persona5''.

* ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'': The English dub sees Creator/ZachAguilar, most famous for voicing heroic characters like [[Webcomic/OnePunchMan Genos]], [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Koichi]], or [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Male!Blyeth]], voice Sota Kume, a character without a single redeeming feature and possibly the biggest HateSink in the franchise.

* Creator/JoshKeaton is well known as the voice of many a teenaged hero, such as Franchise/SpiderMan. Then along comes ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'', where he lends his voice to the AxCrazy superhero-themed assassin Destroyman.

* At first, his role as Harold in ''VideoGame/Fallout1'' seems to fit alongside many of his other comedic characters because he makes frequent ToiletHumor and [[SelfDeprecation self-deprecating]] jokes, but the more you talk with Harold and learn about his horribly tragic backstory, the more it becomes clear that his use of humor is a coping mechanism to an extent, and he can get quite melancholy while talking about his past.

** Before Paarthurnax, Martinet also played the villainous Gouji Rokkaku in ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio Future''.

** She would go on to voice Kagura from ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'' who is a ''quiet, brooding'' girl.

* Creator/NoriakiSugiyama is best known for voicing characters that at least are a little eccentric or irritable, then along comes Abe no Seimei from ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'' who possesses neither of these qualities.
