Tropes associated with Keith Silverstein:
- Creepy Monotone: Whenever he voices a villain, expect them to speak like this.
- Fake Brit: As Robert E.O. Speedwagon.
- Man of a Thousand Voices: Despite his pigeonhole in terms of roles, Keith has a very wide vocal range. Case in point, he can successfully replicate both Crispin Freeman and Steve Blum, both of which are Men of a Thousand Voices themselves.
- Pigeonholed Voice Actor: A lot of the characters he voices tend to be villains. While Liam O'Brien's villains tend to show clear signs of insanity, his villains tend to be very stoic or those who have a very calm and calculating personality. Even if they aren't villains, most of his more heroic characters tend to be The Stoic or those with a calm, cool, collected personality. In other words, he fills both niches that Liam O'Brien and Crispin Freeman hold.
- Playing Against Type:
- The snide and egotistical Nazeem is a far cry from his usual roles.
- Vector is also very different than the characters that he usually plays, as a scratchy-voiced, brash detective type with a Bronx accent.
- Bryan is not only insane in the membrane, but his monstrosity knows no reason or rhyme.
- As Kirby O'Neil.
- The Terminal Guardian is an otaku who only does his job so he can cosplay. There's even one point where he crossdresses and speaks in falsetto.
- And previously, Mondo Oowada is a foul mouthed, Precision F-Strike-spewing gangster guy.
- Robert E.O. Speedwagon is a Hot-Blooded fellow, a companion of the protagonists, and British.
- Torbjörn is quite possibly his most non-typecast role yet: a Hot-Blooded Swedish engineer who's a veteran member of the titular heroic organization. He also looks like a dwarf.
- Hawk Moth is the Big Bad of the series, but only his civilian identity is reserved. His villain persona is pure Saturday morning cheese who's as over the top as they come.
- The in-game quotes for the characters he voices in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky are also unlike his usual typecast. Father Kevin's a Badass Preacher who loves to flirt with the women of the cast and tends to act cocky. Walter's an Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy who's boisterous and Hot-Blooded as one of the villains.
- Dr. Wily is a Large Ham Mad Scientist, and Silverstein revels in the role. Ditto for Professor Tomoe.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: If the character he voices is the antagonist, then his character will be the villainous blue to the heroic red.
- Exception: Vector the Crocodile is the Red Oni of Chaotix team to Espio's Blue. Charmy fits as The Kirk of the team.
- His voice role of Ginkaku in Shippuuden as well. Ginkaku is the hot-head and rowdy red to Kinkaku's blue.
- "Sesame Street" Cred: He's actually been on Sesame Street, voicing Ziggy the Rapping Zebrasaurus.
- The Stoic: A good number of the characters that he voices fit into this trope.
- Vocal Evolution: Zasalamel was one of the first roles Silverstein took on back in 2005. By the time he reprised the role in 2018, he had acquired a great deal of experience as a voice actor which shines through in his new portrayal of an old character whose voice is now notably deeper, gruffer, and more nuanced.
