History Main / TalkingToHimself

* The (orignial) Danish version of ''TerkelInTrouble'' has AndersMatthesen do every single voice.

* ''BlazBlue'' has two examples of this trope. Since knowledge of who voiced who in these cases would spoil the story, the characters' VAs are not listed in the credits. [[spoiler: The characters, in question, are Jin Kisaragi and Hakumen (both voiced by DavidVincent and TetsuyaKakihara), and Noel Vermillion, Nu-13, Lambda-11, and Mu-12 (all voiced by CristinaVee and Kanako Kondo).]]

* Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog and his EvilCounterpart ShadowTheHedgehog share the same voice actor (JasonGriffith) as of the latter's spin-off game. In ''SonicShuffle'', Sonic and Knuckles are both voiced by Ryan Drummond, and ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'' has the same actor for Big and Omega. ''SonicRiders'' contains Sonic and Shadow, plus the new character of Jet, also voiced by Jason Griffith. Although Shadow doesn't appear in the game's storyline, Sonic and Jet are rivals.

* In ''VideoGame/ComicJumperTheAdventuresOfCaptainSmiley'', ChristopherSabat plays both Captain Smiley and his belligerent sidekick Star.

** ChristopherSabat is most notable in the English version, playing Vegeta, Piccolo, Yamcha, Shenron, Zarbon, Jeice, Burter, Recoome, Guru, Moori, Kami, Mr. Popo, Turtle, Colonel Silver, Grandpa Gohan, Korin, Borgos, Officer Black, Omega Shenron, and countless others. This led to a hilarious slip-up when Vegeta's line of "Now what?" in internal monologue came out in Jeice's voice instead (it was subsequently corrected for the remastered release).

** The [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 first one]] had a handful of actors performing multiple roles, so you'd have CamClarke doing both Leonardo and Rocksteady, Barry Gordon as Donatello and Bebop, Creator/PatFraley as both Krang and Baxter Stockman, and TressMacNeille as two of the three Neutrinos.

* ''[[Anime/TheIdolmaster THE iDOLM@STER]]'' - Ami and Mami are both voiced by Creator/AsamiShimoda. Justified in that they're twins.

* In ''Anime/BattleOfThePlanets'', six [=VAs=] had the bulk of the voice work. Keye Luke, as both Zoltar (the Spectran leader) and his superior, the Luminous One, did this regularly.
** A later adaptation of Gatchaman, ''Anime/GForceGuardiansOfSpace'' had Barbara Goodson voicing two of the team members, Aggie and Peewee. The roles in this version were also split among a small bunch of actors, due to the low budget.
* In one episode of ''BusouShinki'', KanaAsumi voices seven characters. Justified in that all of them are Arnval model Shinki, and confusion between two of them is a plot point.

** F/Final the first fully voiced SRW game probably has the most of this. To save money perhaps nearly all the original and MasouKishin characters are voiced by VAs that all had another role in game and usually a main character one as well. (Hikaru Midorikawa for example is Heero Yuy, and also was cast as Masaki Andoh) Although most of these characters haven't appeared since, a few of them have and nearly eclipse the other characters in popularity. Masaki for example became one of Midorikawa's favorite roles, despite initially only getting the part to save time while he was recording Heero.

* Both ''[[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse He-Man]]'' and [[JustForPun sister]] show ''[[WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower She-Ra]]'' had LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters with about eight actors spread among them, so this trope is pretty inevitable.
* ''{{Superjail}}'':

* ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 2}}'' has Rozalin and Taro voiced by [[WendeeLee the same woman]] in English. This leads to the [[UnfortunateImplications disturbing fact]] that the cute boy has an unhealthy obsession with ''himself''. In the original audio, YukariTamura provides the voice of Rozalin, and Hiro Shimono voices Taro.
* ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 3}}'' has Salvatore and the returning Etna both voiced by Michelle Ruff.

* Most NPC's in the spanish version of ''Videogame/{{Fable I}}'' are voiced by the same actor. When there's more than a few characters around you it can get pretty ridiculous.

* Speaking of Jackson, ''[[VideoGame/AmericanMcGeesGrimm American [=McGee's=] Grimm]]''. Just ''American [=McGee's=] Grimm''. And yes, that includes [[LarynxDissonance the female voices]] too.
** William Kasten also voices Max, Jurgen and the Mariachi spaceship's computer AI, in four different styles (Politically Correct, Abusive, Suggestive and Passive-Aggressive)
** Then there's Jared Emerson-Johnson, who voices three of the C.O.P.S. They're never seen apart, so TalkingToHimself occurs very frequently.

** Don't forget the most literal example of this in RE:Chain of Memories, with David Gallagher playing both Riku and the Riku Replica.
* In the original ''WarriorsOrochi'', when Zhuge Liang sniggers at Zhao Yun's inability to comprehend why TheStrategist is working under Orochi, it's the same seiyu (Masaya Onosaka) acting out this trope. Also, since the game has a character switching system, it's possible to hear the same seiyuu doing the "swop-in" lines for two very different characters. By hearing them, you won't believe that Date Masamune and Fuma Kotaro are done by the same person.
** Of course, this is also the case in their parent games, ''DynastyWarriors'' and ''Samurai Warriors'' in both Japanese and English voice tracks, owing to their own massive casts. For example, Creator/LexLang voiced at one point both Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan as well as Sima Yi.
* Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog and his EvilCounterpart ShadowTheHedgehog share the same voice actor (Jason Griffith) as of the latter's spin-off game. In ''SonicShuffle'', Sonic and Knuckles are both voiced by Ryan Drummond, and ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'' has the same actor for Big and Omega. ''SonicRiders'' contains Sonic and Shadow, plus the new character of Jet, also voiced by Jason Griffith. Although Shadow doesn't appear in the game's storyline, Sonic and Jet are rivals.

** In Japanese version, both [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Aerith]] and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Lightning]] are voiced by MaayaSakamoto. Initially this wasn't a problem since they're completely different games... until they both appeared in ''VideoGame/Dissidia012FinalFantasy''. If we get [[MirrorMatch two Lightnings to face each other, both assisted by Aeriths]], we can get an instance of [[HilarityEnsues four Maayas talking at once]].

* At the same time, it averts this with ''MamikoNoto'', offering no interaction between [[NogizakaHarukaNoHimitsu Haruka]] and BonusBoss [[ShakuganNoShana Hecate]] (despite Haruka being a non-playable party member, so technically they do meet). Ditto for Kazuhiko Inoue and Kimiko Koyama, who both reprise roles across two different series; their respective characters don't meet at all

* Initially, PatrickSeitz was the only voice actor in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' to voice 2 characters, who are Hugo and Bob. After the [[DownloadableContent DLC]] characters were released, 4 more voice actors joined Seitz. They are TomokazuSeki (Yoshimitsu and JPN Bryan), JunichiSuwabe (JPN Vega AKA Claw and JPN Lars), Kenichirou Matsuda (JPN Raven and JPN JACK-X), and Jordan Byrne (ENG Kazuya and ENG JACK-X).

* In yet another MassiveMultiplayerCrossover, ''VideoGame/CrossEdge'', Rina Sato plays both [[OriginalGeneration Mikoto Aiba]], AND [[ManaKhemia Liliane Vehlendorf]]. Amusing since Lilian has an {{Ojou}} feel on her.
** And in the American version, YuriLowenthal plays both Rozeluxe Meitzen and Zelos. Of course, one's his normal voice, and the other is his [[SoulNomad Gig voice]]

** This also applies to Shinjiro and Jin (Grant George) and Chidori and Ken (Mona Marshall) while in ''{{Persona 4}}'', both Nanako and the gas station attendant are voiced by Karen Strassman and both the main character and Adachi are voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch. However, at no point do any of these characters directly talk to each other; as Shinjiro and Jin only have one scene together where Jin doesn't talk, Chidori and Ken don't have any scenes together, and the silent protagonist obviously doesn't talk. Nanako and the gas station have one scene together where they both talk, but not to each other.

* Lorne Lanning is not only the co-founder of OddWorld Inhabitants and director of all of their games, but he also voiced 80% of the cast in those games

* In ''ComicJumper'', ChristopherSabat plays both Captain Smiley and his belligerent sidekick Star.

* Subverted in ''PhantomBrave'', while Flonne and Marona have the same voice actress and the exact same voice, they scenes they share are the only ones in the entire game that aren't voiced.

* In ''KidIcarusUprising'', we have [[TheHero Pit]] and [[DarkIsNotEvil Dark Pit]] in both languages: MinamiTakayama in Japanese and Anthony Del Rio in English.

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''
** Being alter egos, Ichigo and [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Shirosaki/Hollow Ichigo]], both voiced by Ichigo's seiyuu in any language, have a few conversations, though most of them are conversations with their swords.
** Due to being a LongRunner and having LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, English dub actors are now voicing ABOUT FIVE popular to obscure roles each!

* DougWalker is known for his roles as [[WebVideo/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses Ask That Guy]], WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, and [[WebVideo/BumReviews Chester A. Bum]]. In the Nostalgia Critic's review of ''Film/MortalKombatAnnihilation'', Doug has his beard shaved, and all three of his characters pop up in the intro with their own explanation of why they had their beard shaved (Nostalgia Critic shaved it because he made a bet that John [=McCain=] would win, That Guy shaved his because he thought the bet was about him posting his next video with the viewer responses within a week, and Chester just did it because he didn't want to be left out of the group). They quabble for a bit until NC dismisses Chester and then knocks out That Guy with a brick.

* Animator BradNeely voices (almost) all of the characters in his cartoons, notably the eponymous Frank and Steve Smith of ''The Professor Brothers'' and Cox and Combes of the viral "Washington Rap." Just in these two examples, Neely has not only had lengthy talks with himself, but has duet-rapped.

* As the ''WebVideo/VaguelyRecallingJoJo'' series is a one-man show, the fan does all of the roles and sounds.

* From 1999 to 2001, Scott Innes voiced both {{Scooby-Doo}} and Shaggy Rogers. You only have to watch half an episode to understand how often those two interact.

* ScoobyDoo: Since 2002, Creator/FrankWelker has been the voice of Fred and Scooby.

* Before Jim Cummings came along, Hal Smith voiced both Pooh and Owl in the 1983 short ''[[TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore]]'', and in the 1983-86 DisneyChannel PuppetShow ''Welcome to Pooh Corner''.

* ''Film/{{Tron}}'' has DavidWarner playing Senior Executive VP Dillinger, the Master Control Program, and a villainous program named Sark. Sequences in both worlds have the MCP interacting with the other two. In this case, he deliberately makes no effort to change his voice for the various characters; in ''Tron'', programs are meant to resemble their creators and are all played by the same actors; Dillinger wrote both Sark and the MCP, so all three share the same actor. Though for the MCP, Warner's voice was modulated to a lower pitch.

* Sara Werec of ''SoukouNoStrain'' and Mariette, the bully who torments her, are voiced by Kawasumi Ayako in Japanese and CaitlinGlass in English. Tanaka Rie also played two characters, but they never spoke to one another.

* ''Franchise/{{Bionicle}} 2: Legends of Metru Nui'' has Lhikan, Krekka (Both voiced by Creator/MichaelDobson), Onewa and Matau (both voiced by Brian Drummond). Expect a fair amount of this trope happening amongst them. ''Web of Shadows'' continues the trend with Onewa and Matau again.

* ''{{Bionicle}} 2: Legends of Metru Nui'' has Lhikan, Krekka (Both voiced by Michael Dobson), Onewa and Matau (both voiced by Brian Drummond). Expect a fair amount of this trope happening amongst them. ''Web of Shadows'' continues the trend with Onewa and Matau again.
* In ''SpiritedAway'', the sisters Yubaba and Zeniba are voiced by the same actress both in Japanese and English. The English actress, Suzanne Pleshette, indicated that she changed the differences between the two voices; the Japanese voice of Zeniba was lower-pitched, whereas she changed her voice to be higher-pitched.

* In ''[[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'', the Capcom side of the roster averts this trope (in both English ''and'' Japanese). On the Marvel side, SteveBlum voices both {{Wolverine}} and {{Taskmaster}}, while DoctorDoom and Shuma-Gorath are voiced by PaulDobson.

* ''DawnOfWar'' has quite a bit of this, with [[PaulDobson Paul]] and MichaelDobson playing pretty much every non-named unit in the game, KeithFerguson playing Mr. Nailbrain, Heretics, Ronahn and Plague Marines, SteveBlum playing Cyrus, Martellus, and Eliphas, and FredTatasciore playing Davian Thule, Ulkair, Bloodletters, and Veldoran.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Histeria}}'' episode "The Thomas Jefferson Program" features Thomas Jefferson discussing his ideas for The Declaration of Independence with John Adams, Ben Franklin, and John Hancock all four voiced by ''Creator/BillyWest''.

* And yet 'nother MassiveMultiplayerCrossover example: For ''[[NicktoonsUnite Nicktoons: Globs of Doom]]'', THQ figured that RobPaulsen talking to himself [[CrackIsCheaper is cheaper]] and since [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Nicolai Technus]] is already a playable character, they decided to let him reprise the role of ''TakAndThePowerOfJuju'' antagonist [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Tlaloc/Traloc]] despite [[TheAnimeOfTheGame the TV adaptation]] of that video game series (where the character got TheOtherDarrin'd with Jeff Bennett) being depicted in the game. Indeed, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYwczRlUPFs the scene]] where the [[LegionOfDoom Evil Syndicate]] [[SnapBack snaps back]] is mostly a Paulsen monologue; easily the most amusing thing in the game next to the hamminess that is InvaderZim himself.

* They do it to him again in the ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' episode(s) "The Once And Future Thing". The episode also has Batman talking to his future self. The differences are subtle.

** In addition to Bender, Di Maggio plays recurring characters Url, Randy, Sal, Elzar, Flexo, Joey Mousepad, and Fry's dad as well as various incidental characters.
