* Need a high-pitched squeaky voice for your show? Look no further than Creator/StephanieBeard (or, as you may know her as "Sugar" from Creator/YTV). She voices Rini in ''Anime/SailorMoon'' Ming-Ming in ''Anime/BakutenShootBeyblade'', Coco in ''Anime/{{Pecola}}'', Kirsten in ''WesternAnimation/CaptainFlamingo'', and Creech in ''WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}}.'' She was also [[Franchise/CareBears Wish Bear]] at some point. Basically, if you can't get Creator/TaraStrong or Creator/GreyDeLisle, she's your go-to girl.

* Many of Creator/GreyGriffin's characters are notably similar, often being some form of cruel teenager or complete villainess, ranging from the bossy and overbearing (Mandy from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'') to the sociopathic (Azula from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'') to the flat-out criminally insane (Vicky from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''). Even her heroic roles tend to have shades of this, ranging from controlling and rude (Sam Manson from ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'') to condescending and insenitive (Nalia de'Arnise in ''VideoGame/BaldursGate 2'') to simply being easily angered (Kimiko from ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown''). [=DeLisle=] herself has pointed this out on a few occasions, remarking in one interview that playing a character like the innocent Wubbzy of ''WesternAnimation/WowWowWubbzy'' is far more indicative of her actual real-life personality as "a sweet pollyanna type."

* Arthur Q. Bryan's roles in ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' shorts typically [[ElmuhFuddSyndwome sounded like Elmer Fudd]], like the title character in "WesternAnimation/DangerousDanMcFoo" and the narrator in "WesternAnimation/NuttyNews". In fact, the only time he used his natural voice was as the annoyed, sleep-deprived customer in "WesternAnimation/APestInTheHouse" (who was essentially a caricature of Bryan).

* Need a high-pitched squeaky voice for your anime dub? Look no further than Creator/StephanieBeard (or, as you may know her from her Canadian radio show, Suga [=BayBee=]).

* Creator/KirbyMorrow was known for voicing dashing young heroes in anime and western animation. This includes Miroku from ''Manga/InuYasha'', Cyclops from ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'', Trowa Barton in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'', Hot Shot in ''Anime/TransformersCybertron'', and Cole in ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}''.
* Need another ButtMonkey example? It's Vincent Tong. Compare Matsuda from ''Manga/DeathNote'' to Toro from ''WesternAnimation/SushiPack'', or even compare Daniel from ''WesternAnimation/VoltronForce'' to Kai from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}''.

* Creator/MarkHamill, in contrast to his live-action typecasting as ingenue heroes like [[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker]] and [[VideoGame/WingCommander "Maverick" Blair]], has been typecast in animation as a player of deranged villains like ComicBook/TheJoker, whom he portrayed masterfully in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' to the point that he is considered by many to be the definitive voice of the character. Getting him to [[RoleReprise reprise the role]] in the ''Franchise/BatmanArkhamSeries'' of games probably sold more than a few copies on its own. In one interview, he jokingly remarked that he wanted to be on more shows like ''Franchise/HelloKitty'' or ''Franchise/StrawberryShortcake'', but always gets cast as "creepy villains or old degenerates".

* Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson usually voices really really big guys, usually in a fantasy or sci-fi setting, and often with a hint of the ScaryBlackMan. Examples include Sarevok of ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'', most of the villains of ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe'', Captain Gantu from ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'', and ''many'' different characters in ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack''. However, he played that great salvation of every voice actor, ComicBook/TheJoker, on ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', and also did a fair showing as [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] OldMaster Jolee Bindo in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic''.
