Line #12 Typecasting/SpanishVoiceActors


1	----
2	!!European Spanish
3	* Salvador Vidal. Arguably the most well-known male voice in Spain, even though his name isn't nearly as publicly famous as Constantino Romero or Ramón Langa. He has voiced most of Holywood mature stars of the last 40 years: Creator/GeorgeClooney, Creator/HarrisonFord, and Creator/MichaelDouglas are just a few examples. Not to mention that he is insanely prolific in advertising, which gives a lot of people the impression that he is practically ''everywhere''.
4	* Creator/ConstantinoRomero. Probably the most famous voice actor in Spain, since, unlike most voice actors in the country, most people know his face due to his work as a successful TV host. Also, some of the most famous pop culture classics has been voiced by him. For starters, he's Creator/ClintEastwood's regular voice actor. Then he was the Franchise/{{Terminator}} in first three movies, [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Mufasa]], [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Judge Claude Frollo]]... and [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]].
5	* Jordi Brau. One of the most chameleonlike voice actors in Spain and probably the world. He's the usual voice actor for Creator/TomHanks, Creator/TomCruise, Creator/RobinWilliams, and Creator/StevenSeagal, just to name a few.
6	* Luis Posada. With his soft natural voice and incredible range, he has dubbed a lot of attractive young adults and a lot of wacky comedy actors with equally awesome results. Famous actors dubbed by him are Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio, Creator/JohnnyDepp (whom he nails every single time, including [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Jack Sparrow]]), Creator/JohnCusack, Creator/JimCarrey, and Creator/ChrisTucker. He also was [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Quasimodo's]] voice.
7	* Nuria Mediavilla has dub so many attractive women that half of the female elite of Hollywood has been voiced by her at some point: Creator/UmaThurman, Creator/AngelinaJolie, Creator/CameronDiaz, Creator/SalmaHayek, Creator/KateWinslet, Creator/WinonaRyder, etc, etc... Some consider her, not only one of the best voice actresses in Spain, but one of the best voice actresses in the world.
8	* Marta Barbará. Usually she dubs teenagers and young adult women and is Creator/ScarlettJohansson's usual VA in Spain. However, here's the kicker: she was the Spaniard Disney female lead voice during UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation. She was the female lead in '''four movies in a row'''. To be precise, she voiced [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Jasmine]], [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 adult Nala]], WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}, and [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Esmeralda]].
9	* Creator/NuriaTrifol. She is one of the most prolific voice actresses for children and female teenagers in Spain, although she's perfectly capable of adult women. Extra points for being also in practically every single Spanish anime dubbing recorded in Barcelona, and doing important roles most of the time. In fact, she has appeared even more in Catalonian dubs. She's also Creator/KeiraKnightley's usual voice actress in Spain.
10	* Graciela Molina. She rivals Nuria Trifol in the most prolific voice actress for children and female teenagers, although she's a little bit more focused in young adult women and way more in live action. Fun fact: both actresses act together often in female friends and kid siblings roles, and both of them dub Creator/NataliePortman regularly.[[note]]The Natalie Portman part has an anecdote: Molina voiced [[Franchise/StarWars Padme]] in Episode I, while Trifol voiced her decoy (performed by Creator/KeiraKnightley). However, this led to a confusion in Lucasfilm, making them to cast Trifol for Episodes II and III.[[/note]]
11	* Luis Bajo. The same as Salvador Vidal, but in TV Shows rather than film. He's also becoming the Spaniard equivalent of Creator/NolanNorth in video games (although he has a wider range of voices than North). During the last three years or so, it seems like he's everywhere in digital media. He also voiced the Joker in WesternAnimation/{{Batman\|TheAnimatedSeries}}, and his performance is impressive in its own right, even after you compare it to Creator/MarkHamill's.

13	!!Latin American Spanish
14	* Veteran actor Creator/CesarArias had a long career voicing wise, elderly figures who often act as the mentor or TheObiWan to the hero, and more often than not tend to be [[RetiredBadass pretty badass]]. These include [[Franchise/HarryPotter Albus Dumbledore]], [[WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries Professor Charles Xavier]], [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Hiruzen Sarutobi]] and [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Kenpachi Zaraki]].
15	* The late Creator/JesusBarrero was mostly recognized for voicing HotBlooded anime heroes during the 80s and 90s, with his best known roles being [[Manga/SaintSeiya Pegasus Seiya]], [[Anime/MazingerZ Kouji Kabuto]] and [[Anime/{{Robotech}} Rick Hunter]]. He would later break off this trend during the following decades up to his death, though.
16	* Barrero's nephew Creator/JoseGilbertoVilchis was often cast to voice {{Bishonen}} characters, probably due to his success at voicing [[Manga/SaintSeiya Andromeda Shun]]. He would also sometimes fill in for his uncle in some roles, due to having similar voices.
17	* Coming from the current generation of dubbers, Diego Becerril is arguably known for voicing young protagonists from various Anime of the modern era.
18	* Before her retirement, Christine Byrd was known as the voice for {{Tsundere}}s such as [[WesternAnimation/HeyArnold Helga Pataki]] and [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Sakura Haruno]].
19	* Creator/CristinaHernandez tends to be the go-to voice for cute and sweet young girls, especially in anime, such as [[Anime/DigimonAdventure Kari Kamiya]] and [[Manga/CardCaptorSakura Sakura Kinomoto]].
20	* Creator/EduardoGarza is either casted for characters who are either fat, dorky, arrogant, fun-personified, calm, tempered, weird ([[WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether Xander]], anyone?), or someone who ends up dying (with [[Manga/DragonBall Krillin]] and [[Manga/{{Inuyasha}} Kohaku]] the well-known examples, albeit they got better).
21	** According to Garza himself, he always wanted to voice [[PrettyBoy handsome boys]], but when he got the voice role of [[Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle Francis]], which at first glance is described as that, he then realizes that the character is an "imbecile" in terms of personality, albeit he ended up voicing the character nonethless.
22	* The late Enrique Mederos was the definition of voice versatility. During his time in voice acting, he could voice little boys, young adults and even elderly men; and could modulate every tone differently. Well known examples are the roles he had in [[Manga/DragonBall Dragon Ball Z]] such as Pikkon and Old Kai, as well as Fujitaka Kinomoto ([[Manga/CardCaptorSakura Sakura's dad]]) and Ryota Miyagi in ''Manga/SlamDunk''.
23	** The closest thing Mederos has for modern day successors are Luis Leonardo Suarez and Héctor Ireta de Alba.
24	* Is your character is a wisecracking JadedWashout, an arrogant jerk, or a fat obnoxious BumblingDad? Search no further than Creator/HumbertoVelez, the original voice of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Homer Simpson]] in Latin America.
25	* Colombian-born Juan Carlos Tinoco is the definition of voice manliness, with characters he voiced such as [[Anime/DragonBallSuper Jiren]], [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Brian Griffin]] (since Season 4), [[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious Luke Hobbs]] and [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Thanos]]. It does help his voice is so relaxing that you can feel the masculinity emmanating from his tone.
26	* The characters that are voiced by Creator/LuisDanielRamirez are either handsome, heroic, fat, nice, dorky, dumb or even anthromorphic. When it comes to either voicing the same character or starring roles together, he's the Blue Oni to Eduardo Garza's Red Oni, making him a {{Foil}} of sorts.
27	* Creator/MarioCastaneda is usually the go-to actor for roles played by Creator/BruceWillis or Creator/JimCarrey, pretty handy for baritone, NoIndoorVoice and LargeHam (sometimes all three at once) whenever it's required.
28	* Creator/PatriciaAcevedo is mostly identified with voicing teenage girls ([[Manga/SailorMoon Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon]], [[Series/{{Dinosaurs}} Charlene Sinclair]], [[Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet1984 Nancy Thompson]]), mothers (of either strict like [[Manga/DragonBall Chi-Chi]] or compassive like [[WesternAnimation/DennisTheMenace Alice Mitchell]]) and hysteric little girls ([[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} Angelica Pickles]], [[WesternAnimation/DennisTheMenace Margaret Wade]] and [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor Lizzie Devine]]).
29	** The only exception of the hysterical little girl rule for Patricia is [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Lisa Simpson]] back when she voiced the character, as Lisa was WiseBeyondTheirYears before {{Flanderization}} hits in and becomes the SoapboxSadie she's now. It doesn't help the Voice Actors' Strike of ANDA happened, and as a result, [[TheOtherDarrin the character was temporally voiced by Nallely Solis from Season 16 until Season 31]] before retaining the role again in Season 32.
30	* Creator/RossyAguirre is best known for tomboyish {{Bokukko}} girls ([[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Akane Tendo]], [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Buttercup]]) or [[CrossdressingVoices pre-teen boys]] ([[Manga/DragonBall Krillin]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} Phil]] [[WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp DeVille]]).
31	* Creator/VictorUgarte tends to voice characters who have a lot of psychological issues and/or are the {{Butt Monkey}}s of the cast. Examples for the former include [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Sasuke Uchiha]] and [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]], and for the latter there's [[WesternAnimation/MuchaLucha The Flea]] and [[Anime/DigimonAdventure Joe]] [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 Kido]].
32	* Creator/LauraTorres has a wide array of voice acting under her belt, but she's definitely ''very'' recognized for voicing [[CrossDressingVoices young male kids]] such as [[Franchise/DragonBall Goku (and his children)]], [[Manga/CrayonShinChan Shinnosuke "Shin-chan" Nohara]], and [[Manga/InuYasha Shippo]].
