* Music/GiorgioMoroder's production posse in the 1970s included co-producer Pete Bellotte and a fairly consistent core group of musicians including Keith Forsey (drums), Mats Bjorklund (guitar), Les Hurdle (bass) and Dino Solera (woodwind). Bellotte and Forsey remained frequent collaborators as Moroder moved more into film soundtracks in the 1980s, Forsey also increasingly acting as lyricist and sometimes co-producer. During the 1980s, a recognisable posse of lead and backing vocalists turned up on many of Moroder's projects, including Paul Engemann, Beth Andersen, E.C. Daily and Joe Esposito.

This used to be a very enforced part of media making. Studios expected [[TypeCasting artists to specialize into units]]. An example would be Creator/JohnFord being specialized in westerns, which meant that large parts of the crew--both in front of and behind the camera--would literally always work together. Another aspect of Hollywood filmmaking which used to enforce this in the past was that studios would often have exclusive contracts with big names spanning several years and movies. For instance, the vast majority of Creator/HumphreyBogart's films after he made it big were for Warner Bros.

* Creator/AtkinsonFilmArts had a posse of voice actors that they would use repeatedly for their various animated productions, such as Creator/RickJones, Creator/TerrenceScammell, Abby Hagyard, Les Lye, Robert Bockstael, and Anna [=MacCormack=]. Some of them continued to work together after the company folded.

[[folder:Music]]
* '''EVERY RAP GROUP, CREW OR LABEL EVER.''' Every solo album one member does, you can almost guarantee the others won't be far behind. This is particularly prevalent in the somewhat self-insular rap groups the Music/WuTangClan and Music/{{OFWGKTA}}.
** And Young Money. Any album by any member of YMCMB is probably going to have at least another member of the team on it somewhere (and there are several). Being the labels' founding musicians, chances are any YMCMB album will have some sort of vocal involvement from either Birdman or Music/LilWayne.
*** Or Music/{{Drake}} or Music/NickiMinaj. The three of them along with Wayne make up YMCMB's PowerTrio, and are the three most well-known members, so this is a JustifiedTrope to some extent.
** GOOD Music, Music/KanyeWest's [[MythologyGag clique]] and label, does this as well - chances are any album the label releases will have involvement either in production or in vocals from Kanye himself, a hook from The-Dream, and features from any artist on the roster.
*** Kanye himself. Most stuff he's done since the start of his career has involved Common, John Legend, Malik Yusuf, Mos Def and Music/JayZ somewhere along the line. He also gained his childhood friends Really Doe and GLC considerable exposure, along with his cousin Tony Williams. These days, if Kanye has a new album out, you can usually expect any (or indeed all) of these artists to be in hot pursuit - anyone mentioned above, Kid Cudi, [[Music/WuTangClan Raekwon]], The-Dream, Jay-Z, anyone not mentioned who is signed to GOOD Music, Talib Kweli, [[Music/BonIver Justin Vernon]], Music/LupeFiasco, Music/LaRoux and Music/{{Rihanna}}. You can also always expect his mentor No I.D. to have given some of the tracks a once-over production-wise.
*** And Music/JayZ. Almost every Jay-Z album these days will involve production from one or more of Kanye West, Music/{{Timbaland}}, Just Blaze or Music/PharrellWilliams. Chances are Kanye may have a verse or two as well. Others who are likely to be involved are Jay's wife Music/{{Beyonce}}, Music/JCole, Music/RickRoss, Music/{{Nas}} and Rihanna.
* Music/BradPaisley largely writes songs with Kelley Lovelace, Chris [=DuBois=], or Lee Thomas Miller. He also uses members of his road band, The Drama Kings, on most of his albums.
* Music/GeorgeStrait has had many of the same staff since his 1992 soundtrack for ''Film/PureCountry'', including the same batch of session musicians (among them: drummer Eddie Bayers, fiddler Stuart Duncan, steel guitarist Paul Franklin, guitarists Steve Gibson and Brent Mason, pianist John Barlow Jarvis, and bassist Glenn Worf). Tony Brown was also the producer for all of these until ''Cold Beer Conversation'', when Chuck Ainlay took over. Almost all of his albums have also included at least one song written by Dean Dillon, who penned his debut single "Unwound".
* Music/GarthBrooks has several examples:
** The most famous is "The G-Men", a set of session musicians who have appeared on all of his albums except ''Music/InTheLifeOfChrisGaines'': Bruce Bouton (steel guitar), Mark Casstevens (acoustic guitar), Mike Chapman (bass guitar), Rob Hajacos (fiddle), Chris Leuzinger (electric guitar), Milton Sledge (drums), and Bobby Wood (keyboards). All of his albums until ''The Ultimate Hits'' (again excluding the Chris Gaines album) were produced by Allen Reynolds and engineered by Mark Miller (not the lead singer of Sawyer Brown). After Reynolds retired, Miller was promoted to producer and John Kelton took over engineering duties. Many members of the G-Men also played on most albums produced by Reynolds in the late 80s-early 90s, such as those by Hal Ketchum, Crystal Gayle, and Music/KathyMattea, as well as Ty England's ''Highways and Dance Halls'', which Garth produced (Ty was formerly a guitarist in Garth's road band).
** In addition, every studio album except for ''No Fences'' and ''Man Against Machine'' has also featured at least one song written by Kent Blazy. Other songwriters who have turned up on multiple albums include Tony Arata, Pat Alger, Stephanie Davis, Victoria Shaw, and Kim Williams.
* Music/TravisTritt's first four studio albums had multiple overlapping musicians, including backing vocalists Dana [=McVicker=] and Dennis Locorriere, bassist Mike Brignardello, guitarists Richard Bennett and Wendell Cox, and drummer Steve Turner. All four were produced by Gregg Brown, with several songs written by Jill Colucci, Stewart Harris, and Tritt himself.
* Except for his little known debut "What Room Was the Holiday In" and songs on which he was a featured artist, all of Music/TimMcGraw's material has been produced by Byron Gallimore (albeit with a couple different co-producers over the years). Also, the vast majority of his music videos were directed by Sherman Hasley until his 2013 death.
* Whenever Music/{{Sia}} makes a music video, you can expect Maddie Ziegler to be in it after appearing in her last three.
* Music/KennyChesney has been produced by Buddy Cannon since 1997. Also, nearly all of his music videos since "Young" in 2002 have been directed or co-directed by Shaun Silva.
* John Conlee has been produced by Bud Logan for literally his entire career, and has used Brent Rowan as his sole lead guitarist since "Friday Night Blues".
* Music/TobyKeith has included songs written by Scotty Emerick from nearly every album from ''How Do You Like Me Now?!'' onward, and several from Bobby Pinson starting with ''Big Dog Daddy''. Also, all but two of his music videos from 1997's "We Were in Love" onward have been directed by Michael Salomon.
* The vast majority of Music/KeithUrban albums have at least one song written by Monty Powell, and backing vocals from Jerry Flowers (a former member of Urban's pre-fame band The Ranch).
* A number of videos from Music/CyndiLauper's ''She's So Unusual'' period featured Lauper alongside wrestler/wrestling manager Wrestling/CaptainLouAlbano and her then-boyfriend David Wolff in roles.
* Music/IronMaiden's 1980s days had producer Martin Birch and artist Derek Riggs as a given. From 2000s on, while the artist has been inconsistent, South African producer Kevin Shirley is a given.
* All but two of Music/PattyLoveless' albums have her husband Emory Gordy Jr. serving as both bass guitarist and producer. Many of them also had at least one song written by Kostas, and backing vocals from Music/VinceGill (for whom she has also returned the favor on many occasions) and Mac [=McAnally=].
* Nearly all of the albums released on Average Joes Entertainment, a label co-owned by CountryRap artist Colt Ford, have been produced by Noah Gordon (who had a minor chart entry in 1994 with "The Blue Pages") and Shannon Houchins.
* Every release by CountryMusic record label Big Loud has been produced by Joey Moi, who co-owns the label. Many of their releases are penned by their roster of songwriters: Craig Wiseman (the label's other owner), Chris Tompkins, Rodney Clawson, Matt Dragstrem, Brad and Brett Warren (who formerly recorded as the Warren Brothers), Ernest K. Smith, HARDY, and Sarah Buxton. Both Ernest K. Smith and HARDY also record for the label, and Buxton sometimes chimes in on backing vocals.
* Music/BigAndRich had their singer-songwriting clique, known collectively as the [=MuzikMafia=]. The fronting members included Big & Rich members Big Kenny and John Rich; Gretchen Wilson; James Otto; Shannon Lawson; and Music/CowboyTroy. Many of them collaborated with each other, often singing and writing on each other's albums. A few other non-musical members existed over the years, but the group seems to have largely dissipated.
* Music/TracyLawrence tended to have most of his songs written by Larry Boone, Paul Nelson, and Kenny Beard. He also did most of his production work with Flip Anderson, a member of his road band.
* Creator/FactoryRecords used Peter Saville as its designer and Martin Hannett served as in-house producer on many of the early releases, including those by Music/JoyDivision and Music/NewOrder. Saville kept designing for the New Order even after Factory went bankrupt in 1992.
* All of Music/JustinMoore's albums have been produced by Jeremy Stover, who also writes many of the songs on them. Many of his albums also feature songs written by at least one member of the songwriting team The Peach Pickers (Dallas Davidson, Ben Hayslip, and Rhett Akins[[note]]best known for his 1995 hit "That Ain't My Truck" and for being the father of Music/ThomasRhett[[/note]]).
* Music/ClintBlack wrote nearly all of his material with his guitarist Hayden Nicholas.
* With regard to anything he's done since Music/{{ABBA}}, if Benny Andersson is involved, expect Tommy Korberg, Anders and Karin Glenmark, and latterly Helen Sjoholm to be in there as well.
* Nearly all of Music/RonnieMilsap's albums were produced by Tom Collins and/or Ron Galbraith, and most of them also had at least one song written by Mike Reid.
* The combination of Music/EltonJohn, lyricist Bernie Taupin, his backing band of Davey Johnstone (guitar), the late Dee Murray (bass), Nigel Olsson (drums) and sometimes Ray Cooper (percussion), with production by the late Gus Dudgeon and Paul Buckmaster or Del Newman conducting orchestral parts, was arguably collectively responsible for the classic Elton John sound of 1972-1975, and has partially if not fully been involved with Elton ever since. Davey and Nigel have stayed as part of Elton's backing band since 2001, while Bernie has stayed (with few exceptions) as Elton's full-time lyricist since 1983.
* Music/GiorgioMoroder's production posse in the 1970s included co-producer Pete Bellotte and a fairly consistent core group of musicians including Keith Forsey (drums), Mats Bjorklund (guitar), Les Hurdle (bass) and Dino Solera (woodwind). Bellotte and Forsey remained frequent collaborators as Moroder moved more into film soundtracks in the 1980s, Forsey also increasingly acting as lyricist and sometimes co-producer. During the 1980s, a recognisable posse of lead and backing vocalists turned up on many of Moroder's projects, including Paul Engemann, Beth Andersen, E.C. Daily and Joe Esposito.
* Nearly all of Music/{{ACDC}}'s studio albums from ''Stiff Upper Lip'' onwards have been recorded at The Warehouse Studio in UsefulNotes/{{Vancouver}} under producer Brendan O'Brien (except for ''Stiff Upper Lip'', which was produced by George Young).

* Many animation studios often had their own stock company of voice actors. Creator/HannaBarbera's productions, for example, usually had Creator/DawsButler, Creator/DonMessick, Creator/JohnStephenson, Creator/JanetWaldo, Jean Vander Pyl, and Creator/FrankWelker among its regulars.
* 90% of Creator/{{Cinar}} and Creator/CineGroupe's productions usually had Creator/SonjaBall, Creator/RickJones, Creator/TerrenceScammell, Creator/HollyGauthierFrankel, etc. in their cast.
* Creator/{{Filmation}} productions often noticably featured characters voiced by Lou Schiemer, one of the company's co-founders, although he was usually either uncredited, or went by the name "Erik Gunden".[[note]]''WesternAnimation/{{Fat Albert|AndTheCosbyKids}}'' fans will know him as the voice of Dumb Donald; ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'' fans will know him as King Randor, Orko, and others.[[/note]] Other regulars included Lou's daughter Erika Schiemer, Jane Webb, John Erwin, Melendy Britt, and the late Linda Gary and Creator/GeorgeDiCenzo.[[note]]Perhaps better known as Sam Baines in ''Film/BackToTheFuture1''.[[/note]]
** Also, most of the time their composers were Ray Ellis and his son Marc, who also performed in the same capacity when Australian game show producer Reg Grundy set up shop in America in the early 80s (composing the music for ''Series/SaleOfTheCentury'', ''Series/{{Scrabble}}'', ''Series/TimeMachine'', ''Series/HotStreak'' and ''Series/{{Scattergories}}'', plus the unsold pilots ''Keynotes'' and ''[[Series/GoingForGold Run for the Money]]''; they also did the music for the non-Grundy ''Series/CatchPhrase'').
* During much of the 1980s, Creator/DiCEntertainment tended to have Bettina (the title character in all of their WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite productions), Scott Menville, Cree Summer, Danny Mann, Danny Wells, Jeannie Elias, character actress Marilyn Lightstone, and various voice actors from Toronto. [=DiC=] also had Shuki Levy compose the soundtrack to what may have been 98 percent of their output during TheEighties.
* [[WesternAnimation/{{Recess}} Every]] [[WesternAnimation/LloydInSpace show]] [[WesternAnimation/PoundPuppies2010 created]] by Paul Germain and Joe Ansolabehere will usually feature most of or all of the actors of one of their previous shows. The most common ones being Creator/KathSoucie, Pamela Adlon, April Winchell, Eddie Deezen, Justin Shenkarow, E.G. Daily, Creator/AshleyJohnson, Anndi [=McAffee=], Creator/TressMacNeille, and many more.
* Creator/CraigMcCracken has created 4 animated shows. In his shows, he tends to use some of the same voice actors, often casting them in roles different from the other shows of his they've appeared on. These actors include Creator/TomKenny, Creator/TaraStrong, Creator/TomKane, and Keith Ferguson. Creator/GreyDeLisle and Creator/PhilLaMarr, while regulars on ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', had also done voices at some point in ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998''.
* Creator/GenndyTartakovsky (who co-voice directed the first few seasons of the 1998 ''The Powerpuff Girls'' series with [=McCracken=], as he usually voice directs his shows) tends to use the same voice actors a lot as well. He's worked with some of the above [=VAs=] on [[WesternAnimation/SymBionicTitan shows]] [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack of]] [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory his]] [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars own]] (such as Strong, [=LaMarr=], Kane, Kenny and [=DeLisle=]). He's also worked with Creator/CoreyBurton, Richard [=McGonagle=], Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson, Creator/JeffBennett, Creator/RobPaulsen and Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor on two or more projects. While he often works with voice actors, he doesn't only cast them, having worked with on-camera actors and comedians (Creator/{{Mako}}, Tim Russ, Brian Posehn) in a few of his projects.
* Along with some of the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' examples mentioned above, Creator/GregWeisman often tends to bring back some of the actors from ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' in bit or main characters as well as reusing actors he started working with after ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}''. This includes Thom Adcox Hernandez, Creator/JeffBennett, Creator/EdAsner, Creator/DeeBradleyBaker, Creator/CreeSummer, Creator/VanessaMarshall, Creator/BillFagerbakke, Creator/ClancyBrown, Creator/SteveBlum, and Creator/KeithDavid, among others.
* Every series that Tom Ruegger and Creator/StevenSpielberg collaborated on in the 90s seemed to have some combination of these voice actors: Creator/TressMacNeille, Creator/RobPaulsen, Creator/MauriceLamarche, Creator/FrankWelker, Paul Rugg, Creator/CreeSummer
** Julie Brown was a guest on one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Tiny Toon Adventures}}'', and later became a regular on ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''. Tom Ruegger also cast his son Nathan in three of his series.
** The writers and voice cast of the shows later reunited for the Disney show ''WesternAnimation/The7D''.
* For the animation company Creator/{{Rankin Bass|Productions}}, writer Maury Laws and composer Romeo Muller were involved some capacity since the company began and right up to the year that it closed its doors.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife'':
** Xibalba is voiced by Creator/RonPerlman, who has worked with Executive Producer Creator/GuillermoDelToro on ''Film/{{Cronos}}'' and both ''Film/{{Hellboy|2004}}'' movies, among others.
** Creator/GreyDelisle, Creator/CarlosAlazraqui, and Creator/EricBauza have minor roles in this film, all of whom had lead roles in director Jorge Guiterrez's previous work ''WesternAnimation/ElTigreTheAdventuresOfMannyRivera'' (Frida, Puma Loco, and White Pantera respectively).
* Many cartoons made by Creator/NerdCorpsEntertainment feature the same production crew, with company founders Asaph Fipke and Chuck Johnson usually either receiving credit for creating the show or developing the concept for TV. Likewise, many of the same voice actors show up time and time again. Creator/ScottMcNeil, Creator/ColinMurdock, Creator/SamuelVincent, Creator/LeeTockar, and Creator/KathleenBarr voice major characters in at least three of them.
* A majority of Mike & Liz Young's productions under Splash Entertainment (formerly Mike Young Productions and [=MoonScoop=]) have involved assistance from Irish production house [=Telegael=].
* Toronto-based Creator/{{Nelvana}} Studio is prone to using the same actors and actresses in its productions, be they live-action or animation. Common talent includes/included Creator/AlysonCourt, Creator/TaraStrong, Sunny Besen-Thrasher, Michael Fantini, Hadley Kay, Jim Henshaw, Billie Richards, and Creator/CreeSummer, among many, many others.
* It's a pretty safe bet that any cartoon Creator/FreshTV (such as ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'') produces will have been created by Fresh TV founders Tom [=McGillis=] and Jennifer Pertsch, and Creator/LaurieElliott will probably have written at least one episode. Due to OnlySoManyCanadianActors, they also frequently share talents with Creator/{{Nelvana}}, which Pertsch and [=McGillis=] used to work at before founding Fresh TV.
** And then of course, there's the voice actors. If someone voices a character in a Fresh TV production, odds are they'll show up in at least one more. Creator/KristinFairlie, Creator/ChristianPotenza, Creator/DarrenFrost, Creator/EmilieClaireBarlow, Creator/TerryMcGurrin, Creator/MeganFahlenbock, Creator/StaceyDePass, Lauren Lipson, and Creator/BrynMcAuley show up in at least three.
** ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'''s director for its first two seasons Todd Kauffman seems to have picked up on the trend. Animated series from his own small studio Neptoon Studios (such as ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Sidekick}}'', co-productions with Fresh TV and Nelvana, respectively) frequently feature voice actors and writers from Fresh TV's works (and Nelvana's as well, due to Kauffman originally working with them too), and also have their share of recurring names, like Creator/LyonSmith and Creator/DeniseOliver.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'':
** The show reunites many people who worked with creator Chris Savino on ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'', and ''WesternAnimation/KickButtowskiSuburbanDaredevil'', all shows where he became a producer at some point.
** Between Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} shows, ''The Loud House'' has many crew members from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' (which it essentially replaced as Nickelodeon's top non-''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' show), such as writers Kevin Sullivan, Sammie Crowley, Whitney Wetta, Alec Schwimmer, Miguel Puga and Karla Sakas Shropshire; and voice actors Tara Strong, Daran Norris, Susanne Blakeslee, Grey [=DeLisle=], Carlos Alazraqui, Maddie Taylor, Kari Wahlgren, Eric Bauza, Jeff Bennett, Rob Paulsen and Dee Bradley Baker.
** The show also acts as a reunion for the cast of ''WesternAnimation/DocMcStuffins''. The common cast includes, alongside some of the aforementioned voice actors, Lara Jill Miller, Cristina Pucelli, Nika Futterman, Caitlin Carmichael, Andre Robinson, Jess Harnell, Kimberly Brooks and Gary Anthony Williams.
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'':
** Creator/DepatieFrelengEnterprises' creative crew was mostly made up of ex-Creator/WarnerBros staffers (specifically, from Creator/FrizFreleng's and Creator/RobertMcKimson's units), having been founded shortly after the original Termite Terrace shut down.
** After Creator/ChuckJones was fired from Warner Bros. for violating his exclusive contract, he took most of his crew with him (as well as Creator/MelBlanc) after he found work at [[Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer MGM]].
** Director Creator/ArtDavis and screenwriter Sid Marcus frequently collaborated during their animation careers. Be it Creator/ColumbiaCartoons, Warner Bros., or Creator/DepatieFrelengEnterprises, they only stopped teaming up when the latter died. When Davis was demoted back to animator under Friz Freleng's unit at Warner Bros., Marcus left the studio.
* There are plenty of ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/MarthaSpeaks'' writers who write for ''WesternAnimation/WorkItOutWombats'', such as Kathy Waugh, Peter K. Hirsch, and Joe Fallon.

* Creator/{{Capcom}} has been regularly hiring composer Casey Edwards to write rock songs for their games ever since he made "Devil Trigger" for ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'' and "Bury the Light" for that game's ''[[UpdatedRerelease Special Edition]]''. Afterwards, Casey wrote "Exohuman" for ''VideoGame/{{Exoprimal}}'', even if that's not a ''Devil May Cry'' game. Then "Fire Inside" for ''VideoGame/VideoGame/DevilMayCryPeakOfCombat'' made him team up once again with Victor Borba as the vocalist after the both of them worked on "Bury the Light".

* ''VideoGame/DeathStranding'': Pretty much most of the big names that were slated to make ''VideoGame/SilentHills'' are involved in this game. Alongside Creator/NormanReedus and Creator/GuillermoDelToro, there's also horror mangaka Creator/JunjiIto who provided his likeness as a cameo. Additionally, most of the Japanese dub's cast are ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' veterans. Artist Yoji Shinkawa, who has worked as Kojima go-to character and mech designer since ''Metal Gear Solid'', fills in the same role on this project too. Ludvig Forssell, the composer for ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidGroundZeroes'' and ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' also composed for ''Death Stranding''.

** Since the renaissance, Disney had a new team of artists that worked closely together for the rest of their 2D animation career. Animators like Creator/GlenKeane, Creator/AndreasDeja, Mark Henn and Creator/EricGoldberg worked for directors including John Musker & Ron Clements and Kirk Wise & Gary Trousdale. They had a bevy of recurring story artists like Creator/ChrisSanders, Brenda Chapman (''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}''), Burny Mattinson, Roger Allers (''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'') and Creator/JoeRanft. Music/AlanMenken almost always composed the music, usually with Howard Ashman before his passing. Creator/TonyJay, Creator/JimCummings, Creator/CoreyBurton, Creator/WayneKnight and most notably Creator/DavidOgdenStiers had multiple roles. Jeffrey Katzenberg, later co-founder of Dreamworks, headed the division at its peak.

* Any game made by Creator/{{Valve| Corporation}} is almost certain to have Creator/EllenMcLain's voice in it somewhere — she's in every ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' game (plus ''[[VideoGame/HalfLifeAlyx Alyx]]''), both ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' games, both ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' games, ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', and ''VideoGame/Dota2''. And if the game has male voices, Ellen's husband John Patrick Lowrie is fairly likely to be one (or more!) of them (every ''Half-Life 2'' game, ''Team Fortress 2'', ''Left 4 Dead'', and ''Dota 2'').

* Creator/AkiyukiShinbo, the director for all of Creator/StudioShaft's works, has a selection of voice actors that pop up time and time again. Creator/HiroshiKamiya, Creator/ChiwaSaito and Creator/MiyukiSawashiro are the ones most likely to show up.
* Creator/{{Funimation}}, while huge, always ALWAYS uses voice actors for the lead roles who had appeared in their previous titles. They do look for new meat, but anime dubbing is so specialized that they really have no choice to cast the same people for the lead roles. Their actors also direct, write, line produce, and sound mix their dubs!

* Whenever writer [[VisualNovel/ShinzaBanshoSeries Takeshi Masada]] undertakes one of his projects, artist G Yuusuke and composer Keishi Yonao are generally not far behind. Even when he was forced to change mediums after all the trouble following the closure of Greenwood, the three still stick together for ''LightNovel/AvestaOfBlackAndWhite''.
