3	''I Know That Voice'' is a 2013 documentary co-produced by Creator/JohnDiMaggio (who also [[TheNarrator narrates]]). It centers on the behind-the-scenes process of [[VoiceActingTropes voice acting]], featuring interviews of many voice actors (a lot of whom you may recognize from many [[WesternAnimation Western animated TV series]], English anime dubs, and video games) and the entire entourage of people responsible for getting voices from studio to premiere. It also covers the history of voice acting and shows how professional voice acting is still going strong in an age when live-action celebrities (most of whom can't voice act very well) are brought in to do voice-work, as well as voice acting in video games and anime dubbing.

111	!!I Know That Trope:
112	* ManOfAThousandVoices: Half the people interviewed qualify.
113	* MethodActing: [[DiscussedTrope A story is told]] of how Creator/MelBlanc was in a coma after a car crash, and the doctors managed to wake him back up by addressing him as his various voices, which he would respond in character. Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor also talked about how you can't just have a funny voice, but be capable of doing ''everything'' in that voice, like singing, getting punched, and doing an impression of the character doing an impression.
114	* MotorMouth: Even someone with a stutter like [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Porky Pig]] has to be done clearly.
115	* TheRival: Playfully done between Creator/MarkHamill and Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson and their respective [[ComicBook/TheJoker Joker]] voices. Richardson won an Emmy for his portrayal, while Hamill was never nominated.
116	** Near the end, Richardson challenges Creator/{{Jim Cummings\|1952}} to a Creator/MikeTyson impression contest. Richardson concedes the contest, admitting that Cummings actually does the Tyson voice better than he does.
117	* SetBehindTheScenes: The film unveils the art of voice acting from voice actors themselves.
118	* SoundEffectBleep: The f-word is censored creatively this way.
119	* YourCostumeNeedsWork: Creator/JessHarnell tells a story of a kid laughing off his Wakko Warner impression, saying his was better.
120	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[invoked]] Creator/BillyWest talked about his audition for Bender from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', and Creator/MattGroening brought up how no one really had an idea of what Bender should sound like until Creator/JohnDiMaggio gave his take.
