Tropes relating to David Wald's work:
- Large Ham: A lot of his characters qualify.
- Pigeonholed Voice Actor: Because he has a tough, gravelly voice, he's the natural choice for tough guys. A large majority of his characters tend to be either flatout badasses, villains, or a father-type character. This was a similar typecast the late Keiji Fujiwara held.
- Playing Against Type: With his casting as Youji Itami, an Otaku Badass Bystander.
