History TheOtherDarrin / WebAnimation

* ''WebAnimation/{{Eddsworld}}'' has multiple examples with Matt and Ell being the only main characters [[RoleReprise with consistent voice actors]] (Matt Hargreaves and Vicky Gould respectively).
** The titular character Edd going from Edd Gould to Tim Hautekeit for the ''Legacy'' seasons. This is due to Gould [[DiedDuringProduction dying of leukemia]] in 2012. Hautkiet left the role after ''Legacy'' finished, and was recast with George Gould, [[RealLifeRelative the late Edd's brother]], in 2020.
** Tom and Tord were voiced by Alex L'Abbe in 2004 and 2005 before their namesakes, Thomas Ridgewell (otherwise known as Creator/TomSka) and Tord Larsson, took over. Larsson was Darrin'd by Jamie Spicer-Lewis when the character returned for the two-part SeriesFauxnale, as Larsson had stepped down from the series and dropped off the internet, and Ridgewell stepped down from voicing Tom after ''Legacy'' and was replaced with Ed Templer.
** Eduardo was voiced by [[WebVideo/OneyPlays Chris O'Neill]] in "Hammer and Fail" and Creator/BrockBaker in ''Legacy'', presumably due to strained relations between O'Neill and Ridgwell, who was showrunner at the time. Though in a weird twist, both of them alternate for the ''Beyond'' episodes.
** On the "Ellsworld" side of things, Tamara was voiced by Chloe Dungate for ''Legacy'' before being replaced by Rachel Kiki for ''Beyond'', while Matilda was voiced by Alice Ann Stacey before being replaced by Jennifer Bingham.
** There are also minor examples where characters are temporarily voiced by different actors either in shorts or single episodes. This includes Edd Gould voicing Tord several times, as well as vice versa in "Edd and Tord in Lost in Translation", Thomas Ridgwell voicing Matt in "Eddsworld Introduces tve Biomovies Competition", Edd Gould voicing Tom in "When the Best of the Worst Collide", and various pieces of media dubbing over the characters such as "Sugar, Sugar" and "Spartaargh"

* In the ''WebAnimation/BestFiends'' webseries, Creator/MarkHamill voiced the character Temper. Starting with the short "Temper's Adventure", Creator/PhilLaMarr replaced him in the role. The episode lampshades the voice change, with Gordon pointing out that Temper's just cranky "since [his] voice changed".
* In ''WebAnimation/TheGrosseryGang'' webseries, Australian voice actress Jade Ubrien originally voiced the main five characters. Once Series 2 rolled around for both the toyline and webseries, her roles were replaced and scattered around to various other voice actors: Nicolas Roye as Pizza Face, Laila Berzins as Sparkles and Doc Broc, Alexandra Ryan as Egghead, and Creator/SpikeSpencer as Rocky.
* ObjectShows are very prone to switching out voice actors between episodes for reasons varying from them being unavailable or not interested in the Object Show Community anymore to behind-the-scenes drama. In most cases, this leads to characters [[VocalEvolution sounding radically different]] or even receiving [[UnexplainedAccent accents they previously didn't have]]. There's very few complains about these changes, however, as the OSC in general is far used to this by now.
* ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland'':
** In the first season, Needle and Ice Cube were voiced by Cary Huang, but as he got older, it became more difficult for him to voice his characters, so the Huang Twins had to [[FakeShemp use recycled lines for the two throughout the series.]] But then in BFDIA episode 5, Needle's voice was given to an anonymous actor who voiced her until IDFB 1, while Ice Cube was temporarily voiced by [=MaximusPower2002=] in 5A. Then in the teaser "BFDI is Back", Needle was voiced by Justthebomb. In their return in BFB, they were played by Satomi Hinatsu, with Needle only being voice for "Getting Teardrop to Talk". But then they would settle on Kenzie Bryant taking on Needle's role for the rest of the series, and later Ice Cube too.
** In BFDIA, Gelatin was first voiced by the former 11-year old Graham Taylor for the first 5 episodes, and he would reprise this role for BFB, up until episode 23. Graham would later retire from the role to pursuit his acting career. So he would be replaced by Ian Woodside starting at the age of 18. It was [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Gelatin a few times including a scene where he talks to Leafy and she replies in a different voice and later commenting on previous footage that he sounded weird in the past.
** And in ''WebAnimation/BattleForBFDI'', when the crew expanded, several recommended characters who were voiced by Michael and Cary in the past are voiced by new actors (An example being Basketball being voiced by Michael in the first season and by Satomi Hinatsu in BFB).
** ''WebAnimation/InanimateInsanity'': According to Adam Katz, a lot of voice actors just straight up dropped all contact with him, forcing him to either voice certain characters himself or get the voice actors he actually had on hand to voice them. The list include:
*** Pepper going through ''five'' voice actors over the series which is the most out of the cast.
*** Nate Groth (The original voice of Balloon) being replaced by Ben Cross due to a RoleEndingMisdemeanor.
*** Dee Cashin taking over the roles of Marshmallow and Cheesy from Adam Katz and Aaron Sharpio respectively since the former couldn't do the high-pitched voice for Marshmallow anymore and the latter left the show between seasons.
*** Paintbrush and Bow's voices were also replaced in episode 10 of ''WebAnimation/InanimateInsanityInvitational'' due to [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor drama]] that Paintbrush's original voice actor, Taylor Grodin, had gotten in-between this episode and the previous one. Although, because Bow in this season is a robotic copy, the creators were able to provide an InUniverse [[TheNthDoctor explanation]] for their voice change.
* ''WebAnimation/BravestWarriors'':
** In the original ''WesternAnimation/RandomCartoons'' pilot, Chris Kirkman was voiced by Creator/CharlieSchlatter, Beth Tezuka was voiced by Creator/TaraStrong, Danny Vasquez was voiced by Creator/RobPaulsen and Wallow was voiced by Dan Finnerty. When Creator/FrederatorStudios chose to make the show a web series without Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'s involvement, the characters were respectively recast with Alex Walsh, Creator/LilianaMumy, John Omohundro and Creator/IanJonesQuartey (though Tara Strong would remain involved as the voice of Plum).
** In the fourth season that was a co-production with Canadian animation company Creator/{{Nelvana}}, Graeme Jokic replaced Alex Walsh as Chris because it was required by Canadian law to have at least one Canadian voice actor in the main cast (though Alex Walsh stayed onboard as the voice of Beth's boyfriend Zack Ryan).
** The fourth season had Creator/EricBauza and Tara Strong respectively replace Breehn Burns as the voice of Chris' father Brian and Creator/VanessaMarshall as the voice of Chris' mother Josephine.
** Slippy Napkins was voiced by Polly Lou Livingston in the original ''Random! Cartoons'' pilot and the first three seasons, with Creator/FionaReid voicing her for season four.
* ''WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'': Meggy Spletzer was voiced by Creator/LizzieFreeman from ''War of the Fat Italians 2020'' to ''The Cursed Tapes'', as well as [[WebAnimation/SunsetParadise her spin-off]], and was replaced by Creator/ElsieLovelock starting from ''DO NOT ENTER'' due to a mutual agreement with [=SMG4=] over her busy schedule.
* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'':
** Stolas was in voiced by Creator/BrockBaker in the pilot. However, Baker would soon get [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor allegations of sexual misconduct]], which caused him to get replaced with Bryce Pinkham.
** Creator/EricaLindbeck voiced both Loona and Millie in the pilot but in the final show she only voices Loona. Millie is now voiced by Vivian Nixon.
** Striker is voiced by Creator/NormanReedus in season 1 and Edward Bosco in season 2.

* ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland'':
** In the first season, Needle and Ice Cube were voiced by Cary Huang, but as he got older, it became more difficult for him to voice his characters, so the Huang Twins had to [[FakeShemp use recycled lines for the two throughout the series.]] But then in BFDIA episode 5, Needle's voice was given to an anonymous actor who voiced her until IDFB 1, while Ice Cube was temporarily voiced by [=MaximusPower2002=] in 5A.

Graham would later retire from the role to pursuit his acting career. So he would be replaced by Ian Woodside starting at the age of 18.

** ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland'': After BFB 23, Graham Taylor, voice actor for Gelatin decided to leave the show and Ian Woodside replaced him soon after. It was [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Gelatin a few times including a scene where he talks to Leafy and she replies in a different voice and later commenting on previous footage that he sounded weird in the past.
** ''WebAnimation/BattleForBFDI'': When the crew expanded, several recommended characters who were voiced by Michael and Cary in the past are voiced by new actors (An example being Basketball being voiced by Michael in the first season and by Satomi Hinatsu in BFB).

--> ''' Gelatin ''': (Confused) Why did my voice sound so weird back then?

Overlooked by many web cartoons, independent studious would have most trouble maintaining some of their original cast members. In some cases, said actors would retire from the show to continue on bigger roles, sometimes production will lose contact of said actor, and at other times, the said actors would be caught for...doing something a bit controversial. So their role would get reprised by ''TheOtherDarrin''.

-Gelatin, who is currently voiced by Ian Woodside, is watching a previous clip of himself, being voiced by the former Graham Taylor-

** In “Auction Day”, ENA was first voiced by two actors: Marc Rafanan As Ena’s happy half, and Lizzie Freeman, as her sad half. But shortly after the episode’s release, Rafanan was accused of grooming, so he was recasted by Gabe Velez as he went on to voice her Happy Side for “Extinction Party”, and “Temptation Stairway”. But then he was accused of abuse allegations, so he was replaced by Creator/GriffinPuatu for “Power of Potluck”. Luckily, Lizzie Freeman kept her role as ENA’s sad side for the Season.
