* The Creator/GoldenFilms series of videos depicting fairy tales, famous novels, and the like, none of the voice actors are credited although animation fans can identify people like Creator/CamClarke, Creator/JimCummings, Creator/JeffBennett, Creator/CoreyBurton, Creator/RobPaulsen, Creator/KathSoucie, Creator/CandiMilo, Creator/TressMacNeille, Creator/DebiDerryberry, and Creator/CharlesMartinet among other voice actors in the casts.

* All animated Disney films from ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros'' to ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone'' did this, with movies before ''Caballeros'' not even showing the actors' names at all. (See below for the sole exception to this.) Not only that, nearly all Disney ''TV series'' from the '80s and throughout the '90s didn't list who played what characters. ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'' was a notable exception.

* The English dub of ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'' gives the voice actors for unnamed minor characters as "Additional Voices", whereas the Japanese dub named their roles individually. We do know that Creator/ConnerAllison voices Marco the troll, because he identified the role on his Twitter account.

* Creator/HannaBarbera shows from the '70s through early '90s were notoriously bad about this; they put a whole ''series'' worth of voice actors in the credits for ''each'' episode, even if they had nothing to do with the specific episode in question. This makes identifying each voice actor a nightmare. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OeWXhvKUxM Just one example]], from ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo''.

** The ''Series/SesameStreet'' adaptations feature the distinct voices of Creator/MuppetPerformers Caroll Spinney, Creator/FrankOz and Fran Brill reprising their respective characters, along with providing a few incidental voices (and in the case of Fran Brill, narrating the adaptation of "Big Bird Brings Spring to Sesame Street.")

How many credits are unspecified varies:

See also UncreditedRole, for when voice actors are not credited at all.

See also UncreditedRole, for when roles are not credited at all.

There are three types of this...

This type seems like an aversion at first, since all major characters have their actors properly credited. On the other hand, any recurring, special guest, or otherwise minor characters are either relegated to "Additional Voices" or not even credited at all. In a series, this may result in crediting main actors/characters that may not appear in a particular episode. Common in both union and non-union western animation and dubbed anime projects.

!![[UncreditedRole Uncredited Actors]]

Occurring typically with older anime English dubs and video games, in these instances the dub voice talent will not be mentioned in the credits at all. This is often a major sign that it's a non-union dub and thus a lower-budget production. Unfortunately, due to union issues (or lack there of), the chances of finding out any official info of the cast are close to none--especially if the majority of voice talent have little to no VA experience or it is an older production. Several games that constantly add new characters and content that requires voice acting (such as ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'') are often given this treatment for similar reasons. [[note]]SAG/AFTRA aren't often keen on video games where they add new characters/content that would require the voice actor to be hired and may sometimes re-do lines[[/note]]

In many cases, an official cast listing is made by the dubbing company/recording studio and sent to the game publishers, who publish it in the game credits at their own discretion.

%%* Any dub released by Creator/BandaiEntertainment (pre-2012, before they quit home distribution entirely)

* Any English dub that was made by Animax did not credit the voice talent they used at all.
%%* Any Creator/StreamlinePictures dub, despite them having union contracts.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':
** The anime's English dub has always been this way, and remains so to this day. The first two seasons actually featured an alphabetical list mixing the English and Japanese casts together, despite the Japanese version never being legally available in the US, presumably due to many of them voicing Pokémon [[PokemonSpeak whose voices]] [[NonDubbedGrunts were kept for the dub]]. After that, only the English cast was credited, with the Japanese cast going unmentioned. The exception to all of this is Creator/IkueOtani, who's received a special "Voice of [[SeriesMascot Pikachu]]" credit [[BilledAboveTheTitle before any of the dub staff]] since the eleventh season.
** At first, the Japanese version appears to avert this. However, several voice actors [[ActingForTwo play multiple characters]], and each voice actor only has their most prominent character for the given episode listed in the credits. Thus, for the ''less'' prominent characters, it's down to either having a good ear or hoping they reappear in an episode without the voice actor's more prominent character to take their place in the credits.
** This created a giant misconception where fans for many years believed Creator/MeganHollingshead was the original voice for Officer Jenny. In reality, an actress named Lee Quick was the voice. It doesn't help that Jenny was one of the very few roles Quick had.
* In addition to the above, no dub from Creator/FourKidsEntertainment ever featured proper voice credits, even their theatrical films like ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie''.[[note]]''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'' does for the main cast, [[ExactWords but that's not a "dub" in the traditional sense]].[[/note]] Notably, their projects were always non-union.

* ''Anime/BurnUp Scramble'' (featuring Creator/WendeeLee)
* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', which had a non-union dub, with many actors going under aliases. Odd, considering that the dub has been lauded for being [[SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing superior to the original Japanese]], even by the creators. The movie had a union dub with the same actors, and properly credited everyone in the print used for the theatrical and DVD releases, but the Blu-ray release doesn't have English credits at all.

* ''Anime/RanmaOneHalf'': partially. This was later corrected for the Blu-ray release, where the guide booklet does properly credit the main English cast (along with an "additional voices" list), but ironically doesn't credit the Japanese cast, who have never received official credit in the US.

** The international dub of DBZ episodes 123-291 that brought back the Ocean cast saw the voice actors not credited at all. Actually, the only people that ''were'' credited were Akira Toriyama and the person that composed the dub music. Despite this, the dub was indeed union (ACTRA).

** The Harmony Gold dub both omitted character names and featured a cast who were mostly using aliases.
** The AB Groupe dub for some of the movies left the credits in Japanese, making the cast a mystery for a long time.
* ''Anime/Persona4TheAnimation'''s English dub is an example due to being non-union like the ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' games (below). A lot of characters are uncredited; not too noticeable when it's "Reporter #2" for instance, but it's just plain bad when Rise, Dojima, and Naoto (three of the main characters) have no listed voice actor. Creator/JohnnyYongBosch voices both Yu and Adachi, as he did in the game, but is only listed as Yu in the credits.

** The Viz dub is pretty brutal. The episodes themselves have ''no'' English credits, but the collector's edition sets come with a booklet that includes a list of just the regular voices, with some aliases (however, the [=SuperS=] booklet strangely credits "TBA" for each of the Amazoness Quartet). Everyone else is uncredited despite how many incidentals are in the show, and the fans are tasked with figuring them out by ear. Some actors confirm their roles on social media, but not everyone, and Creator/AmandaCelineMiller (Sailor Jupiter) even challenged the fans by asking them to figure out which MonsterOfTheWeek she voiced! The S and [=SuperS=] movies featured full proper English credit lists for their theatrical screenings, with some aliases for the smaller roles. Not helping is the dub's apparent non-union status.

* The dub cast isn't even listed in the credits of ''Anime/Metropolis2001''.
* The English dub for [[Creator/{{Sanrio}} Sanrio Animation's]] film adaptations of ''Anime/TheFantasticAdventuresOfUnico'' and ''Anime/UnicoInTheIslandOfMagic'' only credited the Japanese voice cast. For the longest time, it was rumored that Karen Prell voiced the titular character until she quickly debunked it and said that Creator/BarbaraGoodson voiced the character. Goodson later confirmed that she was the English voice of Manga/{{Unico}} from numerous convention appearances. The identities for the other voice actors (such as Cheryl Chase who voiced Beezle the Imp) would later be revealed from numerous voice acting websites and occasional convention appearances.
* The ''Anime/GForceGuardiansOfSpace'' dub was a clear "no list at all" case, although the voice actors were later revealed. Its predecessor ''Anime/BattleOfThePlanets'' only credited the main voice actors [[note]]Crezator/CaseyKasem, Creator/JanetWaldo, Alan Dinehart, Ronnie Schell, Creator/AlanYoung, and Keye Luke[[/note]] and never the rest of the voice pool, which have only been revealed in secondary sources and interviews [[note]]This pool of actors included Hanna-Barbara alumni like William Woodson, David Jolliffe, Takayo Fischer, and Alan Oppenheimer. Alan Dinehart Jr. and Wendy Young are two other confirmed uncredited actors.[[/note]]
** Averted with Creator/ADVFilms' uncut 2004 redub, which lists each voice actor specifically with their role each episode.

* ''Anime/PerfectBlue'' - Only Bridget Hoffman (Mima) and Creator/WendeeLee (Rumi) have been officially revealed, but only through cast interviews. Despite this, Bridget Hoffman's alias "Ruby Marlowe", was used instead of her real name. The rest of the cast was just a list of aliases.

* The credits for the English dub of ''Manga/{{Tekkonkinkreet}}'' only lists the Japanese voice actors.

* The 1983 English dub of [[Creator/{{Sanrio}} Sanrio Animation's]] adaptation of Creator/TakashiYanase's ''Chirin no Suzu'' (known as ''Anime/RingingBell'' in the west) doesn't credit any of the voice actors. While some of the voice actors in the english dub (such as Creator/BarbaraGoodson, Creator/GreggBerger, Bill Capizzi, and Alexandra Kenworthy) would get revealed in later years and included in a 2014 DVD re-release. Characters that never had a [[FillingTheSilence speaking role in the Japanase version]] (such as such as an owl, a group of bats, and the unnamed lambs from Chirin's flock) had yet to be revealed.
* One major aversion is ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell''. The original ''Anime/GhostInTheShell'' movie was dubbed non-union, but still featured the actors listed with their roles (albeit almost all using aliases), alongside a list of additional voices. ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'' was union, and also featured proper credit listings, despite being a Bandai release.

[[folder:Asian Animation]]
* The English dub of ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'' does not credit the English voice actors, only the original Chinese voice actors.
* The end credits to ''Animation/SimpleSamosa'' do not make any mention any of its voice actors at all.
[[/folder]]

Many Japanese-developed video games list only the Japanese voice credits, ''period.''
* Creator/{{Nintendo}}:
** Many games [[labelnote:Notable exceptions]]''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'', ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' (Japanese version only), ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'', ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures'', ''VideoGame/StarFoxAssault'', ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' (one of the rare Nintendo games to primarily use union actors), ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'' (its English dub was recorded in the United Kingdom, therefore outside the scope of American unions) and ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX''[[/labelnote]], if they bother to credit voices at all. [[note]]A general rule of thumb is that if the voice clips used are [[StockFootage reused from previous games]] or a voice actor is credited for a non-voice acting position (Kazumi Totaka being both Yoshi and a music composer, for example), then those voice actor(s) will go uncredited.[[/note]] Some characters whose voice was actually a StockSoundEffect were miscredited as another voice actor listed in the credits, most infamously Isaac Marshall as [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser]] and Creator/CharlesMartinet as Franchise/DonkeyKong in the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 era. However, this isn't otherwise much of a problem, since most of the voice actors in question are easy to contact, but the voice cast of, say, ''VideoGame/StarFox64'' was anyone's guess [[http://geekmelee.com/2016/04/star-fox-64-the-voices-that-echo-through-the-lylat-system/ up until April 2016]], and for ''[[VideoGame/PanelDePon Tetris Attack]]'' it's completely unknown who did who (although it's said that Isaac Marshall did Kamek). It's also a problem for ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'', ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'', and some ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' characters who [[NonDubbedGrunts keep their original Japanese]] VoiceGrunting, thanks to the language barrier [[note]]the voice actresses for the announcer and Toad in the first three ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' games had their credits on numerous websites switched around, Demise from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' was originally thought to be an uncredited Creator/TakashiNagasako thanks to a RedHerring, and Creator/MakikoOhmoto was originally thought to voice everyone in ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'' since she was the only voice actor listed in the credits; she admitted on her personal blog to have been the voices of only Kirby and the final boss in the game, while the actual voice actors of everyone else were credited under different production roles[[/note]].
** ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' since ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl Brawl]]'', which is strange since the first two entries avoided this. Likely a union issue -- the RoleReprise voice actors for the ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' and ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' characters are union members, and most of the other actors are either StockFootage from previous games ''Smash'' or otherwise, American non-union, Japanese, or (regarding the ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'' characters and VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}) British. [[note]]The Japanese version of ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU Smash 4]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate Ultimate]]'', while still having a "block of names" in the credits, matches the voice actors to their roles in the Sound Test, unlike the international versions.[[/note]] Even its ''trailers'' are guilty of this trope: The Japanese ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate Ultimate]]'' announcement trailer credits Creator/HikaruMidorikawa on-screen for rerecording Marth's lines after two past games of his StockFootage, while the equivalent part in the Western trailer points out that the character has been dubbed in English for the first time in ''Smash'' history without crediting Creator/YuriLowenthal at all.
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' features the third version of this trope; the (non-union) dub was mostly done by non-union actors (or [[TakeAThirdOption ficore]]), who are credited as their character, but a few characters were voiced by union actors, who went uncredited. ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'' does the same thing.
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' notably lists the actor voicing a given character right in their profile, alongside the artist who drew the character's profile art. Given the nature of the game, a mobile game constantly updated with new characters, all of them voiced, this is likely the only practical way to list credits.
** Creator/{{Rare}}ware games are especially bad about this; only with years of effort did the cast of their more mainstream titles (e.g. ''VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing'' and ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64'') start to become more accurately identified, but there are still gaps for games such as ''VideoGame/GoldenEye'' (where only Kevin Bayliss has been identified as a voice) and ''VideoGame/BlastCorps'' (which featured Marshall among the credited voices).
* The Creator/{{Capcom}} fighting games ''[[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2 Marvel vs. Capcom 2]]'', ''[[VideoGame/StarGladiator Plasma Sword]]'' and [[VideoGame/CapcomVsSNKMillenniumFight2000 both]] ''[[VideoGame/SNKVsCapcom Capcom vs. SNK]]'' [[VideoGame/CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium games]]: they didn't ''even include the Japanese voice cast,'' save for ''[=CvS2=]'''s announcer, Hiroaki Asai. Most of Capcom's other arcade games during the '90s used the block of names style of crediting instead.
* None of the English voice actors were credited in ''VideoGame/{{Drakengard}}'' games and ''Videogame/NieR''. Averted in ''VideoGame/NierAutomata'', which had proper credits in Character-Actor format, although the English voice actress for the Commander was left uncredited for some reason (''The [=NieR:=] Automata World Guide Volume 2'' released in 2020 revealed that her voice actress was [[Creator/ColleenOShaughnessey Colleen Villard]]).
* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'':
** There's a lot of confusion over who did the oft-criticized voice work for Fuuka Yamagishi in the initial dubbing of ''VideoGame/Persona3'' and its ''The Answer'' epilogue. ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'''s Lulu has a near-identical voice, suggesting it's almost certainly Creator/PaulaTiso, but no official sources proving as such seems to be available. Fuuka ended up received a new voice from Creator/WendeeLee in the spin-offs starting with ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena''. Given how much flak the [[DullSurprise original performance]] has caught, it is perhaps not surprising that nobody wants to claim it.
** Naoto's English voice in ''VideoGame/Persona4'', ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'', and ''Persona 4 Golden'', was a mystery for over a decade. Naoto was eventually given a new actor in Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn in ''[[Anime/Persona4TheAnimation The Animation]]'', and then Valerie Arem in the other spin-off games. Numerous people from Creator/{{Atlus}}, as well as voice actor Creator/ErinFitzgerald, had implied that the actor in question wished to remain anonymous, likely due to union issues, as the ''Persona'' games are non-union. Furthermore, Arem herself, who has served as a casting director for the games, previously stated that "no one has guessed even close to who Naoto's VA really is," which further left the identity in mystery. [[https://personacentral.com/naoto-shiroganes-original-english-voice-actor-from-persona-4-confirmed-to-be-anna-graves/ It was only in 2018]] that a poster for a FanConvention and confirmation from her own Twitter revealed her English actress was Creator/AnnaGraves.
** Partially averted for the dub of ''VideoGame/Persona5'', which uses union actors for at least the main characters. Unlike previous games, said actors were actually properly advertised and gave numerous interviews and hands-on videos about the roles on Atlus West's [=YouTube=] channel. The game's credits also list them in the standard "Actor - Role" format. This only applies to the major characters, though - none of the others have any acting credits. Averted fully in the UpdatedRerelease, ''Royal'', which properly credits all the dub actors.
** The credits roll for ''VideoGame/Persona5DancingInStarlight'' list both the English and Japanese actors for the characters originating from ''5'', but Elizabeth and Theodore from ''Persona 3'' are listed only under their Japanese actors. Sister game ''VideoGame/Persona3DancingInMoonlight'' lists only Japanese voice actors.
* None of the ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' games include English credits. This created quite a bit of confusion in trying to identify the voice actor for Yuki Terumi. [[note]]For the longest time it was believed that it was Creator/DougErholtz, only to find out that it was actually Erik Davies that voiced him. [[HilariousInHindsight Funnily enough]], Erholtz actually ended voicing the character after all in the UpdatedRerelease of [[VideoGame/BlazBlueContinuumShift the second game]], and has been his actor ever since. (Save for [[VideoGame/BlazBlueCentralFiction the fourth installment]], which was a rather infamous case of NoDubForYou.)[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'': Most Primal Beasts are uncredited and voice modulation makes it more difficult to figure who was voiced by whom. Some actors eventually revealed who they voiced, like Yuki Ono as the voice of Sagittarius.
* ''VideoGame/TheSims 2'', although some detective Googling will let you figure them out.
* The DS remake of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' played this straight (unlike the other entries in the series). Thankfully, voice director Jonathan Klein was nice enough to confirm all of the voice actors and their characters via a guessing game format. He also did the same for other games such as ''[[VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile2Silmeria Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria]]'' and ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheLastHope''.
* ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations Resident Evil: Revelations]]'' credits the Japanese voice cast, but doesn't credit the English one. Many of the major characters are easy to pick out, though. (Creator/MichelleRuff as Jill Valentine, for example.)
* With the exception of ''[[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia Symphonia]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia Phantasia]]'' (the latter being dubbed in Japan where unions aren't an issue), the majority of games in the ''VideoGame/{{Tales|Series}}'' series are non-union and thus don't list the English voice actors.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Soul|Series}}'' series:
** ''Soulcalibur II'' had a list for the Japanese voice cast during the credits, but zilch for the English voice cast. The English [=VAs=] in ''II'' are instead credited in the in-game character profiles, which allow the player to toggle on and off the name of the VA while listening to each individual character's quotes.
** No credits whatsoever for ''Soulcalibur III'' and ''IV'' (though oddly, the ''Franchise/StarWars'' guest characters in ''IV'' did have their actors credited).
** A "block of names" for ''V'' (barring Creator/RogerCraigSmith, who was properly credited for [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Ezio]]).
* While ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'' and ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamVR'' avoided this, the games in-between them are examples, which left [[Main/CommonKnowledge a few misconceptions]] about the voice cast of these games.
** For ''[[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity Arkham City]]'', these included the idea of Creator/DeeBradleyBaker replacing Creator/SteveBlum as Killer Croc, Creator/CrispinFreeman was Robin, Creator/QuintonFlynn was Nightwing, and Creator/KariWahlgren was Vicki Vale, but these aren't the case: Blum [[https://twitter.com/blumspew/status/252082717276114945 confirmed]] he reprised the role of Killer Croc and in addition to voicing the respective roles of Two-Face and Catwoman, Creator/TroyBaker and Creator/GreyDeLisle were also respectively [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfjcFo_R6ms Robin]]--whose grunts were also reused for the Nightwing DLC--and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4mFjqkH7DQ Vicki Vale.]]
** ''[[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins Arkham Origins]]''[='=]s misconceptions included Creator/SteveBlum again reprising the role of Killer Croc, Creator/GreyDeLisle replacing Creator/KariWahlgren as Vicki Vale, either Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor or John Kassir as Firefly, and Creator/KimberlyBrooks voicing the younger Barbara Gordon, but again, this isn't the case. Despite returning yet again, this time, Blum was indeed replaced as the voice of Croc, with Creator/KharyPayton [[https://twitter.com/kharypayton/status/395287970569138176 replacing him]]; as noted above, Wahlgren was never Vale in ''City'' to begin with, meaning [=DeLisle=] didn't replace anyone; and while Kassir's in the game, Creator/CrispinFreeman [[https://twitter.com/CrispinFreeman/status/399039906066231296 was Firefly.]] Furthermore, Brooks and Taylor ''aren't even in the game'', making the misconceptions about them odd.
** Until August of 2017, this was assumed that, in addition to returning as Deathstroke, Creator/MarkRolston also reprised his ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' role as ComicBook/LexLuthor for a VoiceOnlyCameo in ''[[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight Arkham Knight]]''. Creator/KeithSilverstein has since [[https://twitter.com/SilverTalkie/status/873298203172421632 said it was him who voiced Luthor.]]
* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends''' voice cast are not credited. A number of the characters' voice actors have been found by the actors crediting themselves on their personal website, but many of them are just fans' suspicions.
* In an inversion, ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'' only gives the English voice cast.

* Every video game licensed by [[Creator/NipponIchi NIS America]] never lists the English credits. Only a few voice actors have confirmed their roles either through their websites or at {{fan convention}}s. Even so, there are some characters whose voice actors has not been confirmed ever since the ''VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness'' game.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' has Alisa Reinford and Crow Armbrust whose voice actors are not credited. It somehow becomes a rather frequently-asked question in [=GameFAQs=] in Alisa's case with some people trying to speculate who her voice actress is.

* ''VideoGame/NickelodeonPartyBlast'' doesn't feature any voice acting credits whatsoever. Most of the voice cast (primarily consisting of {{The Other Darrin}}s) are completely unknown, with the only confirmed reprises being Creator/TomKenny and Creator/RichardStevenHorvitz as {{WesternAnimation/SpongeBob|SquarePants}} and WesternAnimation/InvaderZim, respectively.

[[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Not to be confused with]] when the ManOfAThousandVoices forgets which voice he used for a particular character.

* Creator/{{Gameloft}}'s ''VideoGame/DisneyDreamlightValley'' and ''VideoGame/DisneySpeedstorm'' both also list their voice actors without identifying their characters in their credits. While the presence of certain names such as Creator/TimAllen, Creator/PatCarroll, and Creator/MingNaWen make it very clear which characters they're voicing, it gets harder when [[TheOtherDarrin Other Darrins]] get added to their lists. One bad case with ''Speedstorm'' came in its season three update, which added seven playable characters but only six new voice actor names. Five of the new names were obvious {{role reprise}}s (Creator/ChrisSanders as [[Franchise/LiloAndStitch Stitch]], Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson as [[Franchise/LiloAndStitch Captain Gantu]], Creator/TaraStrong as [[Franchise/LiloAndStitch Angel]], Creator/KaitlynRobrock as WesternAnimation/MinnieMouse, and Creator/TressMacNeille as WesternAnimation/DaisyDuck) while the sixth new name (Micah Aliling) was easily identifiable as being the new voice of Franchise/{{Lilo|AndStitch}} through the process of elimination. But [[Franchise/LiloAndStitch Jumba]], whose original voice actor Creator/DavidOgdenStiers died in 2018 and whose voice actor from ''Anime/{{Stitch}}'' and ''Animation/StitchAndAi'' Creator/JessWinfield did not reprise the role, has been harder to figure out since he hasn't been voiced by someone other than those two before, the only clue to work with being that one of the pre-existing voice actors who already voiced another male character voiced him.

* Creator/{{Disney}} crossover video games developed by Creator/{{Gameloft}} that have (or had) voice acting--''VideoGame/DisneyMagicKingdoms'' pre-''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' update (which removed voice lines to reduce the size of the game), ''VideoGame/DisneyDreamlightValley'', and ''VideoGame/DisneySpeedstorm''--all list their voice actors without identifying their characters in their credits.

* One major aversion is ''Manga/GhostInTheShell''. The original movie was dubbed non-union, but still featured the actors listed with their roles (albeit almost all using aliases), alongside a list of additional voices. The ''Stand Alone Complex'' TV series was union, and also featured proper credit listings, despite being a Bandai release.

The ''Stand Alone Complex'' TV series was union, and also featured proper credit listings, despite being a Bandai release.

* ''Manga/OnePiece'': The Odex releases used the Japanese credits, with the only English being an appended copyright notice; many of the Odex actors were discovered thanks to fan interviews. 4Kids listed each actor without their characters. Funimation avoided this with their release.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' never lists who plays who. The only exceptions are second-season episode "Old Money" (which gives a list of all the voice actors' characters under their credit, as the producers got sick of people asking who did what voice and chose to list them all on the next episode in production) & TheMovie.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow'':
** Only the main cast is credited, meaning some characters, like the robots and aliens that appear in the show are not credited. Fans guess that Mr. Grumpy's robot share the same voice as himself (obviously), and Herbie Homemaker is voiced by Mr. Tickle.
** Even then, some of the actors were using pseudonyms that can never be traced. Like with ''Anime/YokaiWatch'', it wasn't until later much later when Twitter feeds state that some of the actors' real names (Mr. Scatterbrain's voice actor).

** The credits for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'' never listed who voiced who, so fans had to generally guess, although they could often use names that weren’t listed in other episodes to figure out who voiced a guest character or a villain.

* The entire ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' franchise for some reason.
* Ditto for ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Invincible|2021}}''.

* Any dub released by Creator/BandaiEntertainment (pre-2012, before they quit home distribution entirely)

* Any Creator/StreamlinePictures dub, despite them having union contracts.

* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', which had a non-union dub, with many actors going under aliases. Odd, considering that the dub has been lauded for being [[SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing superior to the original Japanese]], even by the creators.
** Averted with the movie, which had a union dub with the same actors, and properly credited everyone in the print used for the theatrical and DVD releases, but the Blu-ray release doesn't have English credits at all.

* Like all other British animated shows, the British/Pan-European ''WesternAnimation/TheAnimalsOfFarthingWood'' only lists the names of the actors involved, with none of their character roles listed there.
