| 5 | ->''"If we had some sort of machine which could imitate any voice, we'd only need one voice actor."\ |
| 6 | "We do; it's called 'Creator/BillyWest'."'' |
| 7 | -->-- ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' DVDCommentary |

| 9 | VoiceActors known for a wide range of voices, and therefore voicing lots of characters. Fact is, the industry is incredibly small, and there just aren't enough actors to cover all the exponentially increasing amount of characters and projects created each year. Being versatile is required. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Bonus points if the actor is able to avert LarynxDissonance and NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent, but it's not vital. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Name comes from a nickname given to Creator/MelBlanc, who was responsible for nearly every classic ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' character. (This is an exaggeration, however. He admits in his autobiography that he "only" did about 850 voices.) |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Can [[SisterTrope overlap]] with ActingForTwo, if the actor does multiple roles on the same show. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Interestingly enough, the vast majority of voice actors and vocal work don't create "voices" but are largely using their own natural voice with slight tonal changes, pitched up or down. Thus it is still possible for a PigeonholedVoiceActor to ironically also have "a thousand voices," just people aren't aware of their versatility. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Not to be confused with VoiceChangeling or VoiceOfTheLegion. |

| 22 | !!Just choose a few key roles to give an idea of the actors' ranges. Save large lists for their own pages. |

| 34 | * The undisputed king of this in Japanese voice acting was Creator/KeiTomiyama, who was basically the Japanese equivalent of Creator/MelBlanc. When he died of pancreatic cancer in 1995, many of his roles were taken over by the equally-talented Creator/KoichiYamadera, discussed below. |
| 35 | * Creator/KoichiYamadera, the voice of Spike Spiegel (''Anime/CowboyBebop''), Ryouga Hibiki (''Anime/RanmaOneHalf''), Shun Akiyama from ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}''... as well as '''Donkey (Franchise/{{Shrek}}) and WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck'''. (No, really-- that's him in the Japanese version of ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''.) He's also the go-to guy for Japanese dubs of Creator/JimCarrey, Creator/EddieMurphy and Creator/RobinWilliams. |
| 36 | * Creator/KenjiUtsumi's vocal range can best be summed up by watching his work in ''Manga/DragonBall'' and ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': you'd never suspect that he voiced Shenron with his BaritoneOfStrength, the high-pitched LargeHam announcer of the Tenkaichi Budokai, the sinister Commander Red, and Recoome all at once. Likewise, you could hardly relate those voices as belonging to the same voice actor as Raoh and Kaioh (''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''), the latter of whom even gets a noticeably different voice when he has his helmet on, even when excluding the breathy-voice filter. |
| 37 | * Creator/HirokiTakahashi may not be the most prolific seiyuu around, but he's certainly very varied. Cases in point: MonsterClown Hisoka from ''Anime/HunterXHunter'', [[GenkiGirl Genki Guy]] Kikumaru Eiji from ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis'', Superbia "[[NoIndoorVoice Shouts all his lines]]" Squalo from ''Manga/Reborn2004'', ButtMonkey Harima Kenji from ''Anime/SchoolRumble'', [[TheStoic Stoic]] Ryu from ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', soft spoken Japan from ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'', and the foul-mouthed Kukri from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''. |
| 38 | * Creator/ToshihikoSeki, who can range from cheerful fun guy (Duel Maxwell from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'') to irritable badass (Genjo Sanzo from ''Manga/{{Saiyuki}}'') to...''quack'' (Mousse from ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''). |
| 39 | * Creator/AkiraIshida is another guy that's everywhere but with a lot of range- in particular, he once did a bit in ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' in which the one character he voices had an elaborate daydream sequence. He literally [[ActingForTwo talked to himself]] for something like 10 minutes, all in various male AND female voices. |
| 40 | * Creator/WataruTakagi (Yes, he both voiced ''and'' [[TheDanza gave his name to]] Wataru Takagi from ''Manga/CaseClosed''). In what is quite possibly the greatest showcase of vocal talent in ''Franchise/StreetFighter history'', he pulls '''quintuple-duty''' as Gen, Birdi, Adon, Zangief, and Sodom in the ''Alpha''. |
| 41 | * Yuichi Nagashima, aka Cho. This guy voiced Jaken (''Manga/InuYasha''), Hiroshi Uchiyamada (''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka''), Elmer Fudd (''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''), Brook (''Manga/OnePiece''), Blitzwing (''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated''), Gollum (''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'') ''and'' WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo. |
| 42 | * Creator/AyaHirano is one of the few voice actresses that doesn't get typecast. She went from eccentric with {{Jerkass}} tendencies (Haruhi from ''[[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'') to an eccentric otaku high school girl (Konata from ''Manga/LuckyStar'') to a lesbian teacher (Yoko from ''Manga/SchoolRumble'''s second season) to an almost-godly little girl (Lumière from ''Anime/KiddyGrade'') to a StalkerWithACrush (Misa from ''Manga/DeathNote'') to serious ActionGirl (Chiko from ''Manga/TheDaughterOfTwentyFaces''). She also voices Dende from ''Anime/DragonBallZKai'', who (though a member of a one-gender race), is considered male. |
| 43 | * Creator/KotonoMitsuishi is known for performing a wide variety of characters, ranging from Anime/SailorMoon and ''Anime/ExcelSaga'''s Excel Excel to Misato Katsuragi (''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''), Mireille Bouquet (''Anime/{{Noir}}''), Juri Arisugawa (''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'') and Ebichu (''Anime/OruchubanEbichu''). Not to mention... THE LEGENDARY [[Anime/ZombieLandSaga TAE YAMADA]]! |
| 44 | * Creator/TomokazuSeki has voiced characters ranging from TheStoic Sousuke Sagara in ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'', to one of ThoseTwoGuys Jun Kitagawa in ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'', to ManipulativeBastard BigBad Reiji Kageyama in ''VideoGame/GateKeepers'', to HotBlooded [[HumongousMecha mecha]] pilot Domon Kasshu in ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'', to WeaselMascot Mepple in ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'', to LargeHam Gilgamesh in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. |
| 45 | * You'd think Creator/SanaeKobayashi is pigeonholed as either {{Tsundere}}s (Akira from ''Anime/MyHime'') or boys (the ''other'' Akira, from ''Manga/HikaruNoGo'')... Go and say the same when you hear her as NaiveEverygirl Kumi Mashiba from ''Manga/HajimeNoIppo'', the {{Yandere}} Lucy/[[TheCutie Cutie Nyu]] in ''Manga/ElfenLied'', or the titular ActionGirl from ''Anime/{{Madlax}}''. |
| 46 | * Creator/ChiwaSaito has, as just an example, voiced a [[GenkiGirl Genki]] ActionGirl, a perpetually angry member of the QuirkyMiniBossSquad, and a villainous SmugSnake - all in the same show, ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers''! |
| 47 | * Creator/KappeiYamaguchi is most often cast in the role of {{Shonen}} heroes, such as Ranma Saotome (''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''), Anime/{{Inuyasha}}, Sai Saici (''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam''), and Teddie (''VideoGame/Persona4''), but his range is deceptively wide. One need look no further than his role as L in ''Manga/DeathNote'' for proof of this. |
| 48 | * Creator/MakikoOhmoto has a wide array of voices, from TheOjou and motherly figures to {{Shonen}} heroes, all the way to Franchise/{{Kirby}}. |
| 49 | * Creator/DaisukeNamikawa is one of the voice actors pegged down in roles that could very much grate your skull, playing the [[TheScrappy irritating]] Katz Kobayashi (''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam''), the [[AxCrazy rough and wild]] Michael Trinity (''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00''), and the [[BrattyHalfPint super loud-mouthed]] Miyamoto Musashi (''VideoGame/SengokuBasara''). However, he also had his share of straight, goody-two-shoes heroes, such as the main character of ''VideoGame/Persona4'', Cornelius (''VideoGame/OdinSphere'') or the remake voice of Claude Kenni (''VideoGame/StarOcean1''). Then you've got the [[TheStoic melancholic]], manipulative BetaBaddie Ulquiorra Sciffer (''Manga/{{Bleach}}'') or the [[ManipulativeBastard ultra-manipulative]] BigBad Toutaku from ''Manga/IkkiTousen'' amongst his portfolio. Then you'll never look at him the same again. |
| 50 | * Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa does TheHero roles (Ryu from ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' and Takaya, aka D-Boy, from ''Anime/TekkamanBlade''), TheStoic roles (Kyosuke from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars''), Evil Bastard roles (Sephiroth from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'')... very affable father that sounds so light (Forbessi from ''VisualNovel/{{Shuffle}}''), and loud-mouthed idiots (Nobunaga Kiyota from ''Manga/SlamDunk''). |
| 51 | * Creator/MiyukiSawashiro is what some people call versatile; she can voice spunky boys with a cheery attitude, like Milanor from ''VideoGame/YggdraUnion'' or Carl Clover from ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'', a demanding [[TheOjou Ojou]] such as Perrine or Shinku, or cute bubbly Nekomimi girls like Nike (''VideoGame/ManaKhemiaAlchemistsOfAlRevis'') or Mint (''Anime/GalaxyAngel''). Younger characters are not her only forte either: {{Stripperiffic}}, troubled Velvet (''VideoGame/OdinSphere'') and WomanScorned Hotarubi (''Manga/{{Basilisk}}'') would like a word with you. |
| 52 | * Creator/TakehitoKoyasu has probably ''literally'' voiced a thousand roles... from a fallen prince who fights for world peace (''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing''), to a displaced samurai piloting an apocalyptic machine with a lust for fighting (''Anime/TurnAGundam'')...even a comic relief Ascended Fanboy who wants to shoot fire (''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'')! |
| 53 | * Try pigeonholing Creator/NobutoshiCanna. This man has voiced badasses in many flavors, from laid back badasses (Midou Ban from ''Manga/GetBackers'' and Lancer from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''), scary badasses (Guts from ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'', Serious!Axel Almer from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', Cao Pi from ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'') or goof off badasses (Silly!Axel from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' and Tasuki from ''Anime/FushigiYuugi''). If that's not enough, he also has three BruceLeeClone roles on his resume (Maxi from ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'', Lee Pai Long from ''Manga/ShamanKing'', Jann Lee from ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive''), or someone who sounds like a clown (Nnoitra Gilga, (''Manga/{{Bleach}}''), and the voice who yells "LISTEN TO MY SOOOOONGGGG!!!" (''Anime/Macross7''). |
| 54 | * Creator/KaoriShimizu manages to completely avoid being pigeonholed. Even though most fans know her as the mature, deep voice of smart women such as Akira (''Anime/SchoolRumble''), Signum (''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'') and Lamia (''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars''), she is also capable of cutesy voices starting with the melancholic Lain (''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain''), hysterical Lou (''Anime/{{Godannar}}''), and weird YuriFan Hiyori (''Manga/LuckyStar''). |
| 55 | * Creator/RyotaroOkiayu is certainly one hell of a man hard to peg down on his roles. One second he plays the role of a bumbling man often used for comedy relief, the next he plays a villainous role, after which he plays a cool-headed guy and then TheStoic type... |
| 56 | * Creator/RieKugimiya was well-known during the 2000s for voicing {{Tsundere}} characters, thanks to her role as Shana from ''Literature/ShakuganNoShana''. But she also shows a surprising range, such as Alphonse Elric (''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'') and both DeadpanSnarker Kurosaki Karin and EmotionlessGirl Nemu from ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''. |
| 57 | * Creator/SayakaOhara definitely; despite mostly playing mothers, she voiced LargeHam Beatrice in ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'', HotWitch Yuuko in ''Manga/XxxHolic'', and MagicKnight Erza in ''Manga/FairyTail''. Especially noteworthy in ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' where she voices not only Beatrice [[spoiler: III/Yasu]] but also: [[spoiler: Beatrice Castiglioni, Beatrice Ushiromiya and Clair Vauxof Bernard]] while making them all sound unique. |
| 58 | * Creator/JunFukuyama has voiced TheChessmaster Lelouch (''Anime/CodeGeass''), [[TooKinkyToTorture Extreme Masochist]] Sado Taro (''Literature/{{MM}}''), BrilliantButLazy Ryner (''Literature/TheLegendOfTheLegendaryHeroes'') and LargeHam Leopard (''Anime/TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughSpace''). ''Manga/NuraRiseOfTheYokaiClan'' deserves special mention in showing off his range, since he voices both of Rikuo's forms. In it, he shows off both the young boy style that he started out with, and the more mature voice that became more prominent after landing his role in ''Anime/CodeGeass''. |
| 59 | * Creator/AyakoKawasumi, from the stoic Saber (''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''), to the gentle Princess Henrietta (''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero''), then the AlphaBitch Saki Tenjouin (''Manga/ToLoveRu''). |
| 60 | * Creator/HoukoKuwashima is very prolific and has an amazing range, making it hard to find two of her roles that sound the same. Who would have thought that Yurika (''Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico''), Kagura (''Manga/AzumangaDaioh''), Sango (''Manga/InuYasha''), and Fllay (''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'') are all voiced by the same person? |
| 61 | * Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi has proven that he can do quite a variety of characters. From cold and calculated robot-ninjas (''Anime/GaoGaiGar'') to the Leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime (''Anime/TransformersEnergon''), and all the way to the most Badass badass to ever exist in anime (''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''). Coincidentally, all three examples have some kind of leader-role... |
| 62 | ** He's also the Child-rearing Badass of ''Manga/{{Beelzebub}}'' and THE HERO!!! (America of ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'') |
| 63 | * Creator/TetsuyaKakihara has also proven he can do a good number of voices. His most famous roles are probably Simon the Digger (''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'') and Natsu Dragneel (''Manga/FairyTail''), though he's also done a lot of other voices. In particular, check out how he did Jin Kisaragi and Hakumen (both from ''VideoGame/BlazBlue''). |
| 64 | * Creator/NobuyukiHiyama should get some credit too. Sure, his voices doesn't differ much between two characters in the same situation, but he sure can go from completely calm to yelling in the most awesome way you'll ever hear within seconds, and drastically change his voice in the process. |
| 65 | * Creator/YukiKaida has voiced {{Bishonen}} CuteBruiser China, PluckyGirl FriendToAllLivingThings Taiwan, and the Narrator from ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers''. Then there's DudeLooksLikeALady ExtremeOmnivore Shusuke and his CoolBigSis Yumiko from ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis''. And HotBlooded BadassAdorable Abe Masahiro from ''Literature/ShonenOnmyouji''. While usually typecast as a young bishounen (usually with some form of hidden baddassery), she has had quite a variety of roles. |
| 66 | * Pika Aizawa, who is reportedly a student training to become a professional voice actress, has played a total of 26 characters so far in her fandub of the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' {{fanime}} ''WebAnimation/FantasyKaleidoscope''. (Its episodes are initially released without voice acting, only music, sound effects and Japanese subtitles.) |
| 67 | * In a non-voice actor example, singer Music/JunTogawa can go from sounding like a child to a very deep voice to sweet teenager to operatic singing, often within the same song. |
| 68 | * Creator/NanaMizuki, who, on top of being able to put her voice into song, has pulled off roles such as Nagisa from Phantasy Star Universe entry Portable 2 Infinity, Tsubomi Hanasaki from Heartcatch Pretty Cure, and Neige Hausen from Super Robot Wars Original Generation: Endless Frontier EXCEED. |
| 69 | * Creator/YuuichiNakamura is a brilliant example of an actor with huge vocal diversity: he can go from a sadistic {{Troll}} (Yuki Terumi from ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'') to a stoic BruceLeeClone (Fei Long from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'') to a lovable "loser" (Kyousuki Kousaka from ''Literature/{{Oreimo}}''), and you can't tell that's it's the same actor doing all these voices. |
| 70 | * Creator/YoshitsuguMatsuoka has an impressive repertoire, being able to go from expository hero Kirito (''Literature/SwordArtOnline'') to dorky harem leads Tomoya Aki (''Literature/HowToRaiseABoringGirlfriend'') and Bell Cranel (''Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon'') to perverted Aito (''Manga/TheComicArtistAndHisAssistants'') and [[SmugSnake arrogant]] Soma (''Manga/FoodWars''). And let's not forget about the AxCrazy villain [[Literature/ReZero Betelguese]] who is the most unlikely of them all. Not to mention the HotBlooded, LargeHam [[Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba Inosuke Hashibira]]. |
| 71 | * Creator/DaisukeOno has a rather eclectic list of roles under his belt, having played, amongst others, ChivalrousPervert [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Battler Ushiromiya]], GentlemanSnarker [[Manga/BlackButler Sebastian Michaelis]], TragicVillain [[Franchise/TheKingOfFighters Nameless]], and TheStoic [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Jotaro Kujo]]. |
| 72 | [[/folder]] |
| 73 | |
| 74 | [[folder:Spanish]] |
| 75 | * Jorge "El Tata" Arvizu can be easily considered as Creator/MelBlanc's Latin American Spanish counterpart, having dubbed, among others, Fred Flintstone (''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''); WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker, Maxwell Smart from ''Series/GetSmart'', ([[RoleReprise including the 2007 film]]), and Choo-Choo Benny the Ball (''WesternAnimation/TopCat''). |
| 76 | * Creator/JoseAntonioMacias is one of the best examples of this. This man has dubbed everything and you will hear him in almost any dubbing made in Mexico from the late 90's to the present. He is the recurring voice of Creator/ChrisEvans, Creator/RyanReynolds, Creator/MattDamon, Creator/OrlandoBloom and Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio, he has voiced cartoon characters (Edd from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'', Wilt from ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', Radical "Rad" from ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'', Dr. Flug from ''[[WesternAnimation/VillainousCartoonNetwork Villainous]]''), anime characters (James from ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', Mousse from ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', Iruka Umino from ''Anime/{{Naruto}}''), animated movie characters (Emmet from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'', Private and Mort from ''Franchise/{{Madagascar}}'', Milo James Thatch from ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire''), and although he normally does comedic roles he has also played more serious characters (The Joker from ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', Legolas Greenleaf from ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings''). We are not kidding when we say that this man has done everything. |
| 77 | * Creator/GerardoReyero was known for using his bass-baritone voice in ultra serious, by-the-book roles (Cyclops from ''X-Men,'' Mamoru "Darien" Chiba from ''Anime/SailorMoon,'' Jun Uozumi from ''Manga/SlamDunk''). That is, until he did fantastic work as the loud, cheerful and energetic LargeHam Gai-sensei in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', and then the BunnyEarsLawyer Ukitake from ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''... |
| 78 | ** He's also Han Solo (''Franchise/StarWars''), Frieza (''Franchise/DragonBall''), Captain Hero (''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether''), and Gantu (''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch''). |
| 79 | * You might be able to recognize Creator/PatriciaAcevedo's sweet soprano voice ''very'' easily, but even then, you can't forget she's done young boys (WesternAnimation/{{Kissyfur}}, Yaiba Kurogane from ''Yaiba'', Chaozu from ''Manga/DragonBall''), {{Magical Girl}}s (Usagi/Serena from ''Anime/SailorMoon,'' Sally from ''Manga/SallyTheWitch''), sweet yet strong girls (Alexis/Asuka from ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', Lisa Simpson from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Lizzie Devine of ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor''), [[BrokenBird cynical young ladies]] (Rosa from ''Manga/{{Cyborg 009}}''), mother roles (Chichi from ''Anime/DragonBallZ''), [[SpoiledBrat spoiled little kids]] (Angelica Pickles from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}''), {{Yandere}}s (Ryoumou from ''Manga/IkkiTousen''), or even badass {{Action Girl}}s (Princess Adora aka ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower''). |
| 80 | * Creator/ArturoMercado has voiced Shaggy (''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo''), Yoda and Lando (''Franchise/StarWars''), Fred Flintstone (''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''), the Beast (''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast''), Hamm (''Franchise/ToyStory''), Petrie (''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime''), WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck, Simba of ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'', WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder, Babidi (''Anime/DragonBallZ'') and a lot more. |
| 81 | * Creator/JavierRivero must be one that easily comes to mind. Who would've thought that Gemini Saga (''Manga/SaintSeiya'') ''of all characters'' shares voice with Mung Daal (''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}''), Jar Jar Binks (''Franchise/StarWars''), and (most jarring of all) Cow (''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken'')? |
| 82 | * Where to start with Creator/AlfonsoObregonInclan? His roles include Reiner Braun from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'', Kakashi Hatake from ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', Franchise/{{Shrek}}, Dr. Evil from ''Film/AustinPowers'', Eduardo Rivera from ''WesternAnimation/ExtremeGhostbusters'', Wildwing in ''WesternAnimation/MightyDucksTheAnimatedSeries'', just to name a few. |
| 83 | * In a more specific case, Creator/LuisPerezPons (known for being the voice of Mr. Krabs in ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'') doubles most of the secondary characters in Creator/TheHistoryChannel shows. This is mainly due to the fact that History sends all its programs to a specific Venezuelan studio, VC Medios, to be dubbed, and Luis is one of the few voice actors who work in that studio, so they hire him to do the voice of 40% or 50% of the characters. This situation has generated the [[Main/MemeticMutation memetic quote]] "Su puta voz aparece en todos los programas de History Channel"[[note]]"His fucking voice is on every shows on The History Channel"[[/note]], and the fact that he uses the same tone of voice as Mr. Krabs for most of his characters has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFn_3AR0fYI only generated more memes]]. |
| 84 | [[/folder]] |
| 85 | |
| 86 | [[folder:Portuguese]] |
| 87 | * Creator/MarcioSimoes does comic characters such as the Genie (''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}''), Hades (''Westernanimation/{{Hercules}}''), and WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck; badasses such as Creator/SamuelLJackson and Jack Bauer (''Series/TwentyFour''); [[TheLeader leaders]] like Horatio Caine (''Series/CSIMiami''), and Jean-Luc Picard (''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''); and even villains such as Lex Luthor (''Film/SupermanReturns'') and David Xanatos (''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}''). There's also the high-pitched voice he did for both Donatello from ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' and Stitch from ''Westernanimation/LiloAndStitch''. He's also played serious and comedic versions of the same character, such as voicing The Joker in both ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoBatmanMovie''. |
| 88 | * Creator/GuilhermeBriggs is usually a LargeHam - his favorite roles to play were WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}} and Daggett (''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers'') - but he also does serious roles such as Mewtwo (''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie''), Franchise/{{Superman}}, Optimus Prime (''Franchise/{{Transformers}}''), Hawk Moth (''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'') and Dr. Manhattan (''Film/{{Watchmen}}''). Oh, and he’s current the voice of ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse'' in Brazil. |
| 89 | ** For more hamminess, there's HIM (''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998''), with which he gleefully [[ChewingTheScenery chews the scenery]] when he gets the chance, and Crow T. Robot from ''Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000TheMovie'', where he even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W9G0mt3yDI sings]]. |
| 90 | * Creator/AlexandreMoreno is also usually over-the-top (WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, Pinky from ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'', WesternAnimation/PussInBoots, Chris Tucker, Max from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'') or comedic (Creator/AdamSandler and Creator/BenStiller), but he also does the odd serious role (the first Red Ranger from ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', Michael Corleone of ''Film/TheGodfather'', Jude Law). |
| 91 | * Marco Antônio Costa is the voice actor for Creator/GeorgeClooney, Creator/BradPitt, Creator/JohnnyDepp and also... Plucky Duck (''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures''), Hugh Neutron (''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius''), Rex (''Franchise/ToyStory''), Stimpy (''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'') and WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker? |
| 92 | * Creator/OrlandoDrummond voices some comedic characters, such as Series/{{Alf}}, WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo (his signature role), WesternAnimation/DynomuttDogWonder and WesternAnimation/HongKongPhooey; cool old guys like Creator/GeorgeBurns and SantaClaus, and badasses including WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}, The Thing (''WesternAnimation/FredAndBarneyMeetTheThing'') and Venger (''WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons1983''). He also dubbed comedic and badass variations of the same character: Cringer/Battle Cat in ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983''. |
| 93 | * Carmen Sheila dubbed one of WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck's [[CrossDressingVoices nephews]], Tweety (''WesternAnimation/SylvesterTheCatAndTweetyBird''), annoying/bratty girls (Dee Dee from ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' and Elmyra from ''WesternAnimation/TinyToons''), action girls (Cheetara from ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats1985'' and Steelheart from ''WesternAnimation/SilverHawks''), beautiful live-action actresses like Music/{{Cher}} and Creator/JessicaLange, and cool old ladies, like Creator/KathyBates and Madame Foster (''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends''). |
| 94 | * The late Silvio Navas was versatile within a single show: in the 80's animation ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'', he dubbed Papa Smurf, Farmer Smurf, ''and'' Vanity Smurf, with a completely different voice for each one (and sometimes leading to ActingForTwo). In ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats1985'', he showed his versatility in a single character: Mumm-Ra, as he dubbed both main versions of him ([[OurLichesAreDifferent pre]] and [[OneWingedAngel post transformation]]) as well as most of his male disguises (Pumm-Ra, Myth/KingArthur, Third Earth random inhabitants). |
| 95 | * Rodrigo Oliveira downright has "milvozes" ("thousandvoices") as his Instagram handle. After all, he became a rising star for voicing characters ranging from Owen (''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'') and Black Panther (Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse) to Zazu (''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'') and Malphite (''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends''). |
| 96 | * Creator/WendelBezerra's two best known roles are Goku (starting with ''Anime/DragonBallZ'') and Westernanimation/SpongeBobSquarePants, which should be a great indicative. Once he was asked about "how would you do a woman's voice", [[https://youtu.be/ZyEflBWlsKg?t=242 he answered that he had voiced cross-dressers]], using either a low, almost whispered tone, or a yelled and exaggerated one. He can also use a low-pitched voice for a male character, like Bruce Wayne/Batman in ''Film/TheBatman2022'', keeping the tradition of having Batman's voice being deeper than Bruce's. |
| 97 | * In Portugal, the most notable example is Carlos Freixo, with his range varying from comic characters like WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}, WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck, Sylvester (''WesternAnimation/SylvesterTheCatAndTweetyBird'') and WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd, to hero characters like Simba from ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' and Cyborg (''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003''). |
| 98 | [[/folder]] |
| 99 | |
| 100 | [[folder:Finnish]] |
| 101 | * Creator/AnttiPaakkonen is probably the most easily-known voice actor working in Finland today. He started in 1990 and has since starred in more than 80 films and dozens of series. It's impossible to list all of his roles, but some of the most well known are WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse (has been the official voice since 1995), WesternAnimation/BugsBunny (from the late '90s), and Woody in ''Franchise/ToyStory''. |
| 102 | [[/folder]] |
| 103 | |

Sometimes, he'd voice over a ''dozen'' characters [[ActingForTwo in the same cartoon series]], a shining example would be ''WesternAnimation/{{Lucky Luke|1983}}''. |

| 107 | * In ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', Marie-Laure Beneston voices EVERY female character, as well as a few boys (such as Ike and Pip). |
| 108 | * Creator/GilbertLevy, one of the male voice actors on ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', has a large enough range to give his recurring roles on both series a distinct voice. |

He's also dubbed Creator/HarrisonFord, Creator/RichardGere, and Creator/JeffGoldblum, among others. |
| 110 | * Creator/BorisRehlinger is one of the busiest French voice actors these days. He can cover a wide range of deep voices, and rarely comedic roles such as [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Patrick Star]] and [[Franchise/{{Madagascar}} King Julien]]. |
| 111 | * Creator/MartialLeMinoux has appeared in hundreds of animes and video games, most notably as VideoGame/ProfessorLayton, [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Dale Gribble]], [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Professor Membrane]], [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot Neo Cortex, Crunch Bandicoot]], [[Manga/FullMetalAlchemist Roy Mustang]], [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClank Clank]], and [[Franchise/StarFox Fox McCloud]]. |

| 135 | [[folder:Italian]] |
| 136 | * Although not voice acting as such, singers Music/GiorgioVanni and Music/CristinaDAvena performed most of the [[Main/AlternativeForeignThemeSong alternative theme songs]] from western cartoons and animes in Italy.

| 141 | * Monika Pikuła has quite a decent range: she can go from voicing little girls such as Panini (''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}''), {{Action Girl}}s such as Princess Leia (''Franchise/StarWars''), or even evil women such as Azula (''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''), but she usually sticks to teenage girls such as Candace (''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''). |
| 142 | * Ireneusz Załóg, owner of the IZ-Text studio in Katowice as well as a regular talent at fellow Katowice studio [=MediaVox=].

| 144 | |
| 145 | [[folder:Swedish]] |
| 146 | * Swedish voice actor and comedian Dan Ekborg is a strange case, in that he is both this trope and a PigeonholedVoiceActor. He is Pigeonholed in the sense that he is always cast as humorous characters, good or evil. Instead he uses his wide vocal range solely for the RuleOfFunny, most famously in his role as the Genie from ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}''. |
| 147 | * Creator/AndersOjebo has the range to voice high-pitched characters (WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse), comic relief ([[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Iago]], [[Franchise/TheLionKing Banzai (and later Timon)]]), heroes (WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck, [[WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes Tony Stark]]), villains ([[WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck Negaduck]], [[WesternAnimation/TheCupheadShow The Devil]]), children ([[WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy Billy]], [[WesternAnimation/ChipAndPotato Howie Hyena]]), and even female characters ([[Franchise/TheMuppets Miss Piggy]]). |
| 148 | * Johan Hedenberg is an actor with a stunning range often to the point that he can be hard to recognize. He has done voices ranging in everything from the high pitched squealing of [[WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant Kent Mansley]], the deep reverb of [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM Doctor Robotnik]], the even deeper [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro Malefor]], the easygoing and boisterous [[WesternAnimation/SWATKats T-Bone]], and even the friendly old grandpa like figure in [[Anime/CastleInTheSky Uncle Pom]]. He is very prolific and chances are high one has heard him without even realizing it. |
| 149 | * Daniel Sjöberg has a long range. He can sound very rough and deep like [[Series/TheWitcher2019 Geralt of Rivia]] or [[WesternAnimation/HulkAndTheAgentsOfSMASH the Hulk]], awkwardly and afraid like [[WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShopAWorldOfOurOwn Quincy Goatee]], wacky like [[WesternAnimation/ThePiratesInAnAdventureWithScientists the Pirate Captain]] or something normal sounding like [[WesternAnimation/GuillermoDelTorosPinocchio Sebastian J. Cricket]]. |
| 150 | * Mikael Roupé stands as perhaps one of the most prolific voice actors in Swedish dubbing and this is helped in large part thanks to his incredible range. While he has a "default" tone that is easy to recognize such as within the ''WesternAnimation/WhatACartoonShow'' or with his singing voice, he has also done characters ranging from [[Film/SpaceJam Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck]], [[Film/CatsAndDogs The Russian]], [[WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant Dean McCoppin]], [[WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries Lex Luthor]], [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor Father]] and [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Double D]] to name but a few. |

| 154 | * Olga Shorokhova does all the female and little kid voices in ''WesternAnimation/KickButtowskiSuburbanDaredevil'' in a small cast of five actors. Her other voice roles include Aang, Toph, and Ty Lee (all from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''), Wendy and Gideon (''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''), Korra (''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''), Spike, Applejack, Sunset Shimmer, Apple Bloom, and Trixie (from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'') and Lindsay (''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama''), amongst others. |
| 155 | * Alexander Novikov does a lot of male voices (usually TheBigGuy or a CoolOldGuy) and is sometimes a voiceover announcer. He has voiced Muscle Man and Skips from ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'', Cyborg (the first season of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo''), Mr. Vickle (''WesternAnimation/KickButtowskiSuburbanDaredevil'') and others. |
| 156 | * Nikita Prozorovsky does almost all the adult male voices in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' (except for a few higher-pitched and younger characters). In fact, [[TheOneGuy Prozorovsky was the only male voice actor]] in the Russian dub of the first season. Besides the ponies, Prozorovsky can go from voicing teenagers such as Shaggy (''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'') to adults such as Commissioner Gordon (''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy''). |
| 157 | * Dmitry Filimonov has a decent range: he can voice soft-spoken characters such as Cody (''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'') or Gingy (''Franchise/{{Shrek}}''), [[EccentricMentor eccentric mentors]] like Uncle Chan (''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures''), Uncle Iroh (''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'') or Sensei Wu (''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}''), and even the threatening villains like Dr. Blowhole (''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'') or Professor Pericles (''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'')! |

| 160 | [[folder:Greek]] |

His most notable roles are WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, Piglet (''Franchise/WinnieThePooh''), Lazlo (''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo''), Nibbles[=/=]Tuffy (''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry''), Ron Stoppable (''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''), Grouchy, Handy, Jokey, and others from ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' (STAR dub), Gingy (''Franchise/{{Shrek}}''), Iago (''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}''), Zazu from ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'', The Grand Duke (''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}''), Adult Thumper (''WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}'') and WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}. |

Sullivan (''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc''), WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget, Tantor (''WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}}''), and Gargamel (''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs''). |

| 167 | * Harald Mæhle is maybe the most famous VA in Norway because of his wide range of roles throughout his career.

| 168 | * Anders Hatlo is another one. Again, it would be impossible to list them all, but some of his most famous roles are: Iago (''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}''), Tigger (''WesternAnimation/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh''), Zazu from ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'', Fidget (''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective''), Scarecrow (''WesternAnimation/MagicAdventuresOfMumfie''), Petrie (''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime''), King Harold (''WesternAnimation/Shrek2''), Skipper (''WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}''), WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck, Mr. Potato Head (''Franchise/ToyStory'') and Philoctetes (''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}''). |

| 180 | * ''Literature/TheCatWhoSeries'': Jim Qwilleran is an in-universe example. In book #15 (''The Cat Who Went Into the Closet''), he creates a play with a dramatic radio re-enactment based on a historical fire which tore through the area. Although radio didn't exist at the time, attendees are asked to imagine that it did. Using historical newspaper accounts, he creates a script, voices the radio announcer, and splices in interviews by doing of recordings of himself in various voices, including an old farmer, an Irish brogue, and much more. |
