* The English dubs recorded at Omni Productions in Hong Kong (best known for their numerous Animax dubs) were always recorded as a group, even when some voice actors voiced [[TalkingToHimself multiple parts]] (exceptions were sometimes made if the characters were literally talking to each other).

* Seasons 15 and 16 of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' had some cases with Carolina and Washington's scenes, [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BstgozKFP8g/ though the actors had to be with their backs to each other]] so their lines wouldn't be picked up by the other's microphone. One episode of season 16 also had [[https://twitter.com/bexmix/status/993699840776462336 Tucker and Sister recording togther]]. And an early case, back in season 3, had Voices In One Closet (which was the "recording booth" before getting dedicated studio space!), with everyone together to do the awakening Zealots and thus enhance the chaotic sound of that scene.

* For both ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' and ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'', Creator/TomHanks and Creator/TimAllen recorded their lines together, the former significantly, since pretty much the whole film rested on their shoulders.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has a partial aversion. Principal voice recording takes place in Vancouver. Unfortunately, Creator/TaraStrong (voice of main character Twilight Sparkle) lives in LA. To get around this, the other cast members all record together, with Creator/TabithaStGermain or Creator/KellySheridan performing Twilight on a scratch track. Tara then records over the scratch track later.
** This arrangement was itself averted in the recording of episode 3 ("The Ticket Master") and the season 5 premiere ("The Cutie Map"). Tara went up to Vancouver to record with the rest of the cast.

* Creator/MelBlanc and Creator/TonyAnslemo recorded their dialogue together for WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck and WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck for the piano dueling sequence in Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit, as seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq8Rk8FjvRI here]].

* Creator/KyleMcCarley, who voices Simon in ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain,'' [[https://twitter.com/KyleMcCarley/status/1294360046273351680 mentioned on his Twitter]] that he, Diane Delano (Tuba), and Isabella Abiera (Hazel) were together for every group record in Book 3, with Kirby Howell-Baptiste (Grace) coming in when her schedule allowed. [[https://twitter.com/KyleMcCarley/status/1294356540082675713 He also mentions]] that this made the end of the season's fifth episode ([[spoiler:which has Hazel sobbing her heart out after the death of Tuba]]) genuinely uncomfortable for him to record thanks to [[ChildrenVoicingChildren Abiera's convincing performance]] during said scene.

* Averted with [[WesternAnimation/{{Hilda}} Hilda]]. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2021_01_13_142518.png Bella Ramsey, Ameerah Falzon-Ojo, and Oliver Nelson all record their voices separately]]. However, [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20201222_083650.jpg they all keep in touch and follow each other on Instagram]]. Heck, during a Q&A on Instagram, Ameerah Falzon-Ojo, voice of Frida, confirmed that she's friends with Bella Ramsey, herself.

Voices In One Room notably does NOT occur with dubs of foreign material, except in rare circumstances. This is because Automated Dialogue Replacement ({{ADR}} or "post-sync"), the standard dubbing method, is technically very complicated; having multiple actors in a room for ADR would make the process take far longer than just recording one actor at a time.[[note]]Although it was the norm in Brazil until at least the mid to late 90s, given the lack of recording tracks to work with made dubbing with everyone at once the best solution, even if there was a chance of someone mucking it up. Many actors still long for the creativity and camaraderie that ensued before they were forced to record separately.[[/note]] Plus, given the insanely low-profit margin for dubbed material, it is necessary to do the work as quickly as possible. The lack of this trope, however, is one of the main complaints of those who find ADR to sound "wooden."

* Many shows produced by Creator/LorenBouchard: ''WesternAnimation/DrKatzProfessionalTherapist'', ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies'', ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers''. The actors are generally encouraged to improvise. This has the effect of more natural sounding overlapping.

-->'''Kyle:''' The only time I've ever been on a group record and thought, "man, this would be easier if I were recording solo"

* ''Series/TheMandalorian'': While ADR is, as mentioned above, usually done in isolation Creator/PedroPascal and Creator/JohnLeguizamo did their ADR for the opening scene of "The Marshall" together as seen the in behind-the-scenes documentary for the season.

* Because of all the CelebrityVoiceActors, ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'' usually recorded all the actors separately. However, a slight variation was done for "The Best Thing That Ever Happened", since a lot of the dialogue was given to [=BoJack=] and Princess Carolyn. Creator/WillArnett recorded his lines in Los Angeles, while Creator/AmySedaris phoned in from New York to record her lines via Skype.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}:'' For the final scene of "Hopping Mall", during production of Season 2 in 2019, Brenda Song and Justin Felbinger, voices of Anne and Sprig respectively, recorded their dialogue together. When it was done, the following [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brendasong_justinfelbinger_b1mfspcpmdy_6.jpg selfie]] was taken by Felbinger as a memento.

* Being an anime about making anime, ''{{Anime/Shirobako}}'' demonstrates how it's done in several episodes, including variations like a large group doing background voices for a crowd.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek 2}}'', Creator/JohnCleese and Creator/JulieAndrews recorded together. This might have to do with the fact that they're both trained in the English style and could have had difficulty acting alone.

* Creator/JackBlack and Creator/AngelinaJolie recorded together as Po and Tigress for ''WesternAnimation/{{Kung Fu Panda 3}}'', and may have done the same for the other two movies.

* Creator/TomHolland and Creator/ChrisPratt recorded some of their scenes for ''WesternAnimation/{{Onward}}'' together as the two are friends and the creators wanted to capture that in the recordings.

* Seasons 15 and 16 of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' had some cases with Carolina and Washington's scenes, [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BstgozKFP8g/ though the actors had to be with their backs to each other]] so their lines wouldn't be picked up by the other's microphone. One episode of season 16 also had [[https://twitter.com/bexmix/status/993699840776462336 Tucker and Sister recording togther]].

* [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Anima]][[WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020 niacs]] does it with Yakko (''Creator/RobPaulsen''), Wakko (''Creator/JessHarnell''), and Dot (''Creator/TressMacNeille''), [[PunctuatedForEmphasis EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.]] They've done it so many times that Paulsen, Harnell, and MacNeille eventually became friends even after the original 90's series ended.
