The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

Alter-Ego Acting + Man of a Thousand Voices, possibly also Invented Individual depending on the degree of fan confusion (say, Bob's new persona Carl is constantly being harassed by loyal fans of Dave (the old persona) who want to get their beloved DJ his job back by getting the new guy fired.)

Is there a trope that fits this situation:
A radio station (for example 95.8 Capital FM London) has a breakfast show presented by John Smith for 6 months, then John Doe for 3 months, and Rick Roe for 6 weeks, and then Joe Bloggs for 2 years, and although the official social media and website portrays them as different people with different personalities (including the biographies), but they're all voiced by one individual, and he manages to stay in-character the entire time.
The listeners don't know that they're all the same individual and some ask where John Smith went.
Would this be Kayfabe or is it another trope entirely?
