"We do; it's called 'Billy West'."
Voice Actors 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.
Bonus points if the actor is able to avert Larynx Dissonance and Not Even Bothering with the Accent, but it's not vital.
Name comes from a nickname given to Mel Blanc, who was responsible for nearly every classic Looney Tunes character. (This is an exaggeration, however. He admits in his autobiography that he "only" did about 850 voices.)
Can overlap with Acting for Two, if the actor does multiple roles on the same show.
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 Pigeonholed Voice Actor to ironically also have "a thousand voices," just people aren't aware of their versatility.
Not to be confused with Voice Changeling or Voice of the Legion.
Just choose a few key roles to give an idea of the actors' ranges. Save large lists for their own pages.
- The undisputed king of this in Japanese voice acting was Kei Tomiyama, who was basically the Japanese equivalent of Mel Blanc, When he died of pancreatic cancer in 1995, many of his roles were taken over by the equally-talented Kōichi Yamadera, discussed below.
- Kōichi Yamadera, the voice of Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop), Ryouga Hibiki (Ranma ˝), Shun Akiyama from Yakuza... as well as Donkey (Shrek) and Donald Duck. (No, really— that's him in the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts.) He's also the go-to guy for Japanese dubs of Jim Carrey, Eddie Murphy and Robin Williams.
- Kenji Utsumi's vocal range can best be summed up by watching his work in Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z: you'd never suspect that he voiced Shenron with his Baritone of Strength, the high-pitched Large Ham 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 (Fist of the North Star), the latter of whom even gets a noticeably different voice when he has his helmet on, even when excluding the breathy-voice filter.
- Megumi Hayashibara and Hikaru Midorikawa are so prolific that you could probably connect everybody else in anime to them within one or two steps.
- Hiroki Takahashi may not be the most prolific seiyuu around, but he's certainly very varied. Cases in point: Monster Clown Hisoka from Hunter × Hunter, Genki Guy Kikumaru Eiji from The Prince of Tennis, Superbia "Shouts all his lines" Squalo from Reborn! (2004), Butt-Monkey Harima Kenji from School Rumble, Stoic Ryu from Street Fighter, soft spoken Japan from Hetalia: Axis Powers, and the foul-mouthed Kukri from The King of Fighters.
- Toshihiko Seki, who can range from cheerful fun guy (Duel Maxwell from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing) to irritable badass (Genjo Sanzo from Saiyuki) to...quack (Mousse from Ranma ˝).
- Akira Ishida is another guy that's everywhere but with a lot of range- in particular, he once did a bit in Gintama in which the one character he voices had an elaborate daydream sequence. He literally talked to himself for something like 10 minutes, all in various male AND female voices.
- Wataru Takagi (Yes, he both voiced and gave his name to Wataru Takagi from Case Closed). In what is quite possibly the greatest showcase of vocal talent in Street Fighter history, he pulls quintuple-duty as Gen, Birdi, Adon, Zangief, and Sodom in the Alpha.
- Yuichi Nagashima, aka Cho. This guy voiced Jaken (Inuyasha), Hiroshi Uchiyamada (Great Teacher Onizuka), Elmer Fudd (Looney Tunes), Brook (One Piece), Blitzwing (Transformers: Animated), Gollum (The Lord of the Rings) and Scooby-Doo.
- Aya Hirano is one of the few voice actresses that doesn't get typecast. She went from eccentric with Jerkass tendencies (Haruhi from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) to an eccentric otaku high school girl (Konata from Lucky Star) to a lesbian teacher (Yoko from School Rumble's second season) to an almost-godly little girl (Lumière from Kiddy Grade) to a Stalker with a Crush (Misa from Death Note) to serious Action Girl (Chiko from The Daughter of Twenty Faces). She also voices Dende from Dragon Ball Z Kai, who (though a member of a one-gender race), is considered male.
- Kotono Mitsuishi is known for performing a wide variety of characters, ranging from Sailor Moon and Excel♡Saga's Excel Excel to Misato Katsuragi (Neon Genesis Evangelion), Mireille Bouquet (Noir), Juri Arisugawa (Revolutionary Girl Utena) and Ebichu (Oruchuban Ebichu).
- Tomokazu Seki has voiced characters ranging from The Stoic Sousuke Sagara in Full Metal Panic!, to one of Those Two Guys Jun Kitagawa in Kanon, to Manipulative Bastard Big Bad Reiji Kageyama in Gate Keepers, to Hot-Blooded mecha pilot Domon Kasshu in Mobile Fighter G Gundam, to Weasel Mascot Mepple in Futari wa Pretty Cure, to Large Ham Gilgamesh in Fate/stay night.
- You'd think Sanae Kobayashi is pigeonholed as either Tsunderes (Akira from My-HiME) or boys (the other Akira, from Hikaru no Go)... Go and say the same when you hear her as Naďve Everygirl Kumi Mashiba from Hajime no Ippo, the Yandere Lucy/Cutie Nyu in Elfen Lied, or the titular Action Girl from Madlax.
- Chiwa Saitō has, as just an example, voiced a Genki Action Girl, a perpetually angry member of the Quirky Mini Boss Squad, and a villainous Smug Snake - all in the same show, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS!
- Kappei Yamaguchi is most often cast in the role of Shōnen heroes, such as Ranma Saotome (Ranma ˝), Inuyasha, Sai Saici (Mobile Fighter G Gundam), and Teddie (Persona 4), but his range is deceptively wide. One need look no further than his role as L in Death Note for proof of this.
- Makiko Ohmoto has a wide array of voices, from The Ojou and motherly figures to Shōnen heroes, all the way to Kirby.
- Daisuke Namikawa is one of the voice actors pegged down in roles that could very much grate your skull, playing the irritating Katz Kobayashi (Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam), the rough and wild Michael Trinity (Mobile Suit Gundam 00), and the super loud-mouthed Miyamoto Musashi (Sengoku Basara). However, he also had his share of straight, goody-two-shoes heroes, such as the main character of Persona 4, Cornelius (Odin Sphere) or the remake voice of Claude Kenni (Star Ocean). Then you've got the melancholic, manipulative Beta Baddie Ulquiorra Sciffer (Bleach) or the ultra-manipulative Big Bad Toutaku from Ikki Tousen amongst his portfolio. Then you'll never look at him the same again.
- Toshiyuki Morikawa does The Hero roles (Ryu from Street Fighter and Takaya, aka D-Boy, from Tekkaman Blade), The Stoic roles (Kyosuke from Super Robot Wars), Evil Bastard roles (Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII)... very affable father that sounds so light (Forbessi from SHUFFLE!), and loud-mouthed idiots (Nobunaga Kiyota from Slam Dunk).
- Miyuki Sawashiro is what some people call versatile; she can voice spunky boys with a cheery attitude, like Milanor from Yggdra Union or Carl Clover from BlazBlue, a demanding Ojou such as Perrine or Shinku, or cute bubbly Nekomimi girls like Nike (Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis) or Mint (Galaxy Angel). Younger characters are not her only forte either: Stripperiffic, troubled Velvet (Odin Sphere) and Woman Scorned Hotarubi (Basilisk) would like a word with you.
- Takehito Koyasu has probably literally voiced a thousand roles... from a fallen prince who fights for world peace (Mobile Suit Gundam Wing), to a displaced samurai piloting an apocalyptic machine with a lust for fighting (∀ Gundam)...even a comic relief Ascended Fanboy who wants to shoot fire (The King of Fighters)!
- Try pigeonholing Nobutoshi Canna. This man has voiced badasses in many flavors, from laid back badasses (Midou Ban from Get Backers and Lancer from Fate/stay night), scary badasses (Guts from Berserk, Serious!Axel Almer from Super Robot Wars, Cao Pi from Dynasty Warriors) or goof off badasses (Silly!Axel from Super Robot Wars and Tasuki from Fushigi Yuugi). If that's not enough, he also has three Bruce Lee Clone roles on his resume (Maxi from Soul Series, Lee Pai Long from Shaman King, Jann Lee from Dead or Alive), or someone who sounds like a clown (Nnoitra Gilga, (Bleach), and the voice who yells "LISTEN TO MY SOOOOONGGGG!!!" (Macross 7).
- Kaori Shimizu manages to completely avoid being pigeonholed. Even though most fans know her as the mature, deep voice of smart women such as Akira (School Rumble), Signum (Lyrical Nanoha) and Lamia (Super Robot Wars), she is also capable of cutesy voices starting with the melancholic Lain (Serial Experiments Lain), hysterical Lou (Godannar), and weird Yuri Fan Hiyori (Lucky Star).
- Ryōtarō Okiayu 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 The Stoic type...
- Rie Kugimiya was well-known during the 2000s for voicing Tsundere characters, thanks to her role as Shana from Shakagun No Shana. But since the 2010s (and few a roles before then) she shows surprising range, such as Alphonse Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist) and both Deadpan Snarker Kurosaki Karin and Emotionless Girl Nemu from Bleach.
- Sayaka Ohara definitely; despite mostly playing mothers, she voiced Large Ham Beatrice in Umineko: When They Cry, Hot Witch Yuuko in ×××HOLiC, and Magic Knight Erza in Fairy Tail. Especially noteworthy in Umineko: When They Cry where she voices not only Beatrice III/Yasu but also: Beatrice Castiglioni, Beatrice Ushiromiya and Clair Vauxof Bernard while making them all sound unique.
- Jun Fukuyama has voiced Magnificent Bastard Lelouch (Code Geass), Extreme Masochist Sado Taro (MM!), Brilliant, but Lazy Ryner (The Legend of the Legendary Heroes) and Large Ham Leopard (The Girl Who Leapt Through Space). Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan 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 Code Geass.
- Ayako Kawasumi, from the stoic Saber (Fate/stay night), to the gentle Princess Henrietta (The Familiar of Zero), then the Alpha Bitch Saki Tenjouin (To Love Ru).
- Houko Kuwashima 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 (Martian Successor Nadesico), Kagura (Azumanga Daioh), Sango (Inuyasha), and Fllay (Mobile Suit Gundam SEED) are all voiced by the same person?
- Katsuyuki Konishi has proven that he can do quite a variety of characters. From cold and calculated robot-ninjas (GaoGaiGar) to the Leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime (Transformers: Energon), and all the way to the most Badass badass to ever exist in anime (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann). Coincidentally, all three examples have some kind of leader-role...
- He's also the Child-rearing Badass of Beelzebub and THE HERO!!! (America of Hetalia: Axis Powers)
- Tetsuya Kakihara has also proven he can do a good number of voices. His most famous roles are probably Simon the Digger (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann) and Natsu Dragneel (Fairy Tail), though he's also done a lot of other voices. In particular, check out how he did Jin Kisaragi and Hakumen (both from BlazBlue).
- Nobuyuki Hiyama 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.
- Yuki Kaida has voiced Bishōnen Cute Bruiser China, Plucky Girl Friend to All Living Things Taiwan, and the Narrator from Hetalia: Axis Powers. Then there's Dude Looks Like a Lady Extreme Omnivore Shusuke (Shuusuke? Syusuke?) and his Cool Big Sis Yumiko from The Prince of Tennis. And Hot-Blooded Badass Adorable Abe Masahiro from Shōnen Onmyōji. While usually typecast as a young bishounen (usually with some form of hidden baddassery), she has had quite a variety of roles.
- 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 Touhou Project fanime Fantasy Kaleidoscope. (Its episodes are initially released without voice acting, only music, sound effects and Japanese subtitles.)
- In a non-voice actor example, singer Jun Togawa can go from sounding like a child to a very deep voice to sweet teenager to operatic singing, often within the same song.
- Nana Mizuki, 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.
- Yūichi Nakamura is a brilliant example of an actor with huge vocal diversity: he can go from a sadistic Troll (Yuki Terumi from BlazBlue) to a stoic Bruce Lee Clone (Fei Long from Street Fighter II) to a Cool Loser (Kyousuki Kousaka from Oreimo), and you can't tell that's it's the same actor doing all these voices.
- Yoshitsugu Matsuoka has an impressive repertoire, being able to go from expository hero Kirito (Sword Art Online) to dorky harem leads Tomoya Aki (How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend) and Bell Cranel (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) to perverted Aito ( The Comic Artist and his Assistants) and arrogant Soma (Food Wars!).
- Jorge "El Tata" Arvizu can be easily considered as Mel Blanc's Latin American Spanish counterpart, having dubbed, among others, Fred Flintstone (The Flintstones); Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, Maxwell Smart from Get Smart, (including the 2007 film), and Choo-Choo Benny the Ball (Top Cat).
- José Antonio Macías 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 Chris Evans, Ryan Reynolds, Matt Damon, Orlando Bloom and Leonardo DiCaprio, he has voiced cartoon characters (Edd from Ed, Edd n Eddy, Wilt from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Radical "Rad" from OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes, Dr. Flug from Villainous), anime characters (James from Pokémon: The Series, Mousse from Ranma ˝, Iruka Umino from Naruto), animated movie characters (Emmet from The LEGO Movie, Private and Mort from Madagascar, Milo James Thatch from Atlantis: The Lost Empire), and although he normally does comedic roles he has also played more serious characters (The Joker from The Dark Knight, Legolas Greenleaf from The Lord of the Rings). We are not kidding when we say that this man has done everything.
- Gerardo Reyero was known for using his bass-baritone voice in ultra serious, by-the-book roles (Cyclops from X-Men, Mamoru "Darien" Chiba from Sailor Moon, Jun Uozumi from Slam Dunk). That is, until he did fantastic work as the loud, cheerful and energetic Large Ham Gai-sensei in Naruto, and then the Bunny-Ears Lawyer Ukitake from Bleach...
- He's also Han Solo (Star Wars), Frieza (Dragon Ball), Captain Hero (Drawn Together), and Gantu (Lilo & Stitch).
- You might be able to recognize Patricia Acevedo's sweet soprano voice very easily, but even then, you can't forget she's done young boys (Kissyfur, Yaiba Kurogane from Yaiba, Chaozu from Dragon Ball), Magical Girls (Usagi/Serena from Sailor Moon, Sally from Sally the Witch), sweet yet strong girls (Alexis/Asuka from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Lisa Simpson from The Simpsons, Lizzie Devine of Codename: Kids Next Door), cynical young ladies (Rosa from Cyborg 009), mother roles (Chichi from Dragon Ball Z), spoiled little kids (Angelica Pickles from Rugrats), Yanderes (Ryoumou from Ikki Tousen), or even badass Action Girls (Princess Adora aka She-Ra: Princess of Power).
- Arturo Mercado has voiced Shaggy (Scooby-Doo), Yoda and Lando (Star Wars), Fred Flintstone (The Flintstones), the Beast (Beauty and the Beast), Hamm (Toy Story), Petrie (The Land Before Time), Darkwing Duck, Simba of The Lion King (1994), Bob the Builder, Babidi (Dragon Ball Z) and a lot more.
- Javier Rivero must be one that easily comes to mind. Who would've thought that Gemini Saga (Saint Seiya) of all characters shares voice with Mung Daal (Chowder), Jar Jar Binks (Star Wars), and (most jarring of all) Cow (Cow and Chicken)?
- Where to start with Alfonso Obregón Inclán? His roles include Reiner Braun from Attack on Titan, Kakashi Hatake from Naruto, Shrek, Dr. Evil from Austin Powers, Eduardo Rivera from Extreme Ghostbusters, Wildwing in Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series, just to name a few.
- In a more specific case, Luis Perez Pons (known for being the voice of Mr. Krabs in SpongeBob SquarePants) doubles most of the secondary characters in The History Channel 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 memetic quote "Su puta voz aparece en todos los programas de History Channel"note , and the fact that he uses the same tone of voice as Mr. Krabs for most of his characters has only generated more memes
.
- Márcio Simőes does comic characters such as the Genie (Aladdin), Hades (Hercules), and Daffy Duck; badasses such as Samuel L. Jackson and Jack Bauer (24); leaders like Horatio Caine (CSI: Miami), and Jean-Luc Picard (Star Trek: The Next Generation); and even villains such as Lex Luthor (Superman Returns) and David Xanatos (Gargoyles). There's also the high-pitched voice he did for both Donatello from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) and Stitch from Lilo & Stitch. He's also played serious and comedic versions of the same character, such as voicing The Joker in both The Dark Knight and The LEGO Batman Movie.
- Guilherme Briggs is usually a Large Ham - his favorite roles to play were Freakazoid! and Daggett (The Angry Beavers) - but he also does serious roles such as Mewtwo (Pokémon), Superman, Optimus Prime (Transformers), Hawk Moth (Miraculous Ladybug) and Dr. Manhattan (Watchmen). Oh, and hes current the voice of Mickey Mouse in Brazil.
- For more hamminess, there's HIM (The Powerpuff Girls (1998)), with which he gleefully chews the scenery when he gets the chance, and Crow T. Robot from Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie, where he even sings
.
- For more hamminess, there's HIM (The Powerpuff Girls (1998)), with which he gleefully chews the scenery when he gets the chance, and Crow T. Robot from Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie, where he even sings
- Alexandre Moreno is also usually over-the-top (Bugs Bunny, Pinky from Pinky and the Brain, Puss in Boots, Chris Tucker, Max from Total Drama) or comedic (Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller), but he also does the odd serious role (the first Red Ranger from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Michael Corleone of The Godfather, Jude Law).
- Marco Antônio Costa is the voice actor for George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and also... Plucky Duck (Tiny Toon Adventures), Hugh Neutron (Jimmy Neutron), Rex (Toy Story), Stimpy (The Ren & Stimpy Show) and Woody Woodpecker?
- Orlando Drummond voices some comedic characters, such as ALF, Scooby-Doo (his signature role), Dynomutt, Dog Wonder and Hong Kong Phooey; cool old guys like George Burns and Santa Claus, and badasses including Popeye, The Thing (Fred and Barney Meet the Thing) and Venger (Dungeons & Dragons (1983)). He also dubbed comedic and badass variations of the same character: Cringer/Battle Cat in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983).
- Carmen Sheila dubbed one of Donald Duck's nephews, Tweety (Sylvester the Cat and Tweety Bird), annoying/bratty girls (Dee Dee from Dexter's Laboratory and Elmyra from Tiny Toons), action girls (Cheetara from ThunderCats (1985) and Steelheart from SilverHawks), beautiful live-action actresses like Cher and Jessica Lange, and cool old ladies, like Kathy Bates and Madame Foster (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends).
- The late Silvio Navas was versatile within a single show: in the 80's animation The Smurfs, he dubbed Papa Smurf, Farmer Smurf, and Vanity Smurf, with a completely different voice for each one (and sometimes leading to Acting for Two). In ThunderCats (1985), he showed his versatility in a single character: Mumm-Ra, as he dubbed both main versions of him (pre and post transformation) as well as most of his male disguises (Pumm-Ra, King Arthur, Third Earth random inhabitants).
- Rodrigo Oliveira downright has "milvozes" ("thousandvoices") as his Instagram handle. After all, he became a rising star for voicing characters ranging from Owen (Total Drama) and Black Panther (Marvel Cinematic Universe) to Zazu (The Lion Guard) and Malphite (League of Legends).
- Wendel Bezerra's two best known roles are Goku (starting with Dragon Ball Z) and SpongeBob SquarePants, which should be a great indicative. Once he was asked about "how would you do a woman's voice", he answered that he had voiced cross-dressers
, using either a low, almost whispered tone, or a yelled and exaggerated one.
- In Portugal, the most notable example is Carlos Freixo, with his range varying from comic characters like Goofy, Daffy Duck, Sylvester (Sylvester the Cat and Tweety Bird) and Elmer Fudd, to hero characters like Simba from The Lion King (1994) and Cyborg (Teen Titans (2003)).
- Antti Pääkkönen 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 Mickey Mouse (has been the official voice since 1995), Bugs Bunny (from the late '90s), and Woody in Toy Story.
- Roger Carel is the consensus greatest French voice actor of all time. He was the voice of Asterix, ALF, C-3PO (Star Wars), Winnie the Pooh (and Rabbit and Piglet), Benny Hill (The Benny Hill Show), Hercule Poirot (Poirot), Mr. Miyagi (The Karate Kid), Basil of Baker Street (The Great Mouse Detective), Rincewind (Discworld), dozens of characters from Hanna-Barbera and Disney cartoons as seen here
◊, and countless others.
- In the European French dub of The Simpsons, Régine Teyssot voices virtually every woman and child character (except for the Simpson family, Marge's sisters, Milhouse and Jimbo).
- In South Park, Marie-Laure Beneston voices EVERY female character, as well as a few boys (such as Ike and Pip).
- Gilbert Lévy, one of the male voice actors on South Park and The Simpsons, has a large enough range to give his recurring roles on both series a distinct voice.
- Canadian French-born actor Richard Darbois is Batman (Batman: The Animated Series), Captain Harlock, the Genie (Aladdin), Oogie-Boogie (The Nightmare Before Christmas), the Kurgan (Highlander), Barf (Spaceballs), Hook, Madmartigan (Willow), Buffalo Bill (The Silence of the Lambs), Buzz Lightyear (Toy Story), Russ Cargill (The Simpsons Movie), Bruce (Finding Nemo) and Shan-Yu (Mulan). He's also dubbed Harrison Ford, Richard Gere, and Jeff Goldblum, among others.
- Boris Rehlinger 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 Patrick Star and King Julien.
- Martial Le Minoux has appeared in hundreds of animes and video games, most notably as Professor Layton, Dale Gribble, Professor Membrane, Neo Cortex, Crunch Bandicoot, Roy Mustang, Clank, and Fox McCloud.
- For starters, his voice as Malefor was pitched down so much that he's almost unrecognizable.
- Belgian French actress Carole Baillien is Adam Lyon (My Gym Partner's a Monkey), Bloom (Winx Club), Bretzel from Pound Puppies (2010), Carrie Black (Orange Is the New Black), Donna Noble (Doctor Who), Hera Syndulla (Star Wars Rebels), Mabel (Gravity Falls), Martha (Martha Speaks), Naruto, Nicolas and Sissi (Code Lyoko), Noah (Jacob Two-Two), Nobita and Sewashi (Doraemon), Trixie Tang (The Fairly Oddparents), and a lot more
.
- Before his sudden death of a heart attack in 2011, Patrick Guillemin was Ned Flanders, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Smithers, Reverend Lovejoy, Carl Carlson, Comic Book Guy, Snake Jailbird, Superintendent Chalmers, Troy McClure, Lionel Hutz, and many more in the European French dub of The Simpsons (from seasons 1-9), and had voiced most of the male characters from Looney Tunes (including Daffy Duck). He was also Miles Dyson (Terminator 2: Judgment Day), Max Shreck (Batman Returns), Dr. Frederick Chilton (The Silence of the Lambs), Hamton J. Pig (Tiny Toon Adventures), Fantasio (Spirou and Fantasio), Speed (The Swan Princess), Bartok (Anastasia), Capt. Harris (Police Academy: The Animated Series).
- Frank Schaff has an impressive voice range. He has voiced Yakko Warner (Animaniacs), Terence (South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut), Wilt (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends), and Norbert (Angry Beavers), all while being near unrecognizable in each role.
- Anders Matthesen has more than once been the entire cast of his shows.
- Lars Thiesgaard has been Pumbaa from The Lion King (1994), Dexter (Dexter's Laboratory), I.M. Weasel (I Am Weasel), Johnny Bravo, Pegleg Pete (Goof Troop), Piglet (Winnie the Pooh), Gargamel (The Smurfs), The Red Guy (Cow and Chicken), Professor Utonium (The Powerpuff Girls (1998)), Bob the Builder, Scooby-Doo, the Tasmanian Devil from Looney Tunes (as well as Porky Pig and Bugs Bunny), Don Karnage (TaleSpin), Yogi Bear, Top Cat, The Joker (DC Animated Universe), Yoda (Star Wars: The Clone Wars), Barney Rubble (The Flintstones), and Pinky (Pinky and the Brain)... among many others.

- István Mikó voices Winnie the Pooh, Robin Williams (including the Genie from Aladdin), Ray from The Princess and the Frog, Bernard from The Rescuers, Archimedes from The Sword in the Stone, and Barney Rubble in one of the several dubs of The Flintstones.
- József Kerekes voices Peter Griffin from Family Guy, Donkey from the Shrek franchise, Dale from Chip and Dale, Wildcat from TaleSpin, Barney Rubble from a VHS-only The Flintstones dub, Lumpy Space Princess in Adventure Time, Pesto from Animaniacs, Drix from Ozzy & Drix, Roquefort from The Aristocats, Chester from Codename: Kids Next Door, Jimbo Kern from South Park's early seasons, Verminious Snaptrap in T.U.F.F. Puppy, Kowalski from Madagascar, and is the official Hungarian voice of Jim Carrey.
- Gábor Seder provides the voices for Futurama's Bender, Quagmire from Family Guy, Rolf from Ed, Edd n Eddy, Heatblast, Ghostfreak and probably a bunch of other aliens in Ben 10, Dr. Blowhole from The Penguins of Madagascar, Ling-Ling from Drawn Together, all life-stages of Emrick the Petalar and several Lizard soldiers in Thundercats 2011. There is way more, but those are in his regular voice.
- As Mike in Total Drama, Seder shows his true range because of the character's split personalities.
- Although not voice acting as such, singers Giorgio Vanni and Cristina D'Avena performed most of the alternative theme songs from western cartoons and animes in Italy. Cristina D'Avena has sung hundreds of theme songs for three decades since the 80s, while Giorgio Vanni has started singing theme songs in 1998, and ended up becoming just as active as Cristina D'Avena throughout the The 2000s (until 2007/2008, before the end of the Alternative Foreign Theme Song era). Additionally, Cristina has also done voice acting.
- Jarosław Boberek has voiced Donald Duck, The Red Guy (Cow and Chicken), Geoff (Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race), King Julien (The Penguins of Madagascar), Ed (Ed, Edd n Eddy), Stitch (Lilo & Stitch)note , Korgan (Baldur's Gate), Nathan Drake (Uncharted), and Grunkle Stan (Gravity Falls). He also voiced Jackie Chan in a few films (The Spy Next Door, The Karate Kid (2010), Around the World in 80 Days (2004), and Kung Fu Panda).
- Monika Pikuła has quite a decent range: she can go from voicing little girls such as Panini (Chowder), Action Girls such as Princess Leia (Star Wars), or even evil women such as Azula (Avatar: The Last Airbender), but she usually sticks to teenage girls such as Candace (Phineas and Ferb).
- Ireneusz Załóg, owner of the IZ-Text studio in Katowice as well as a regular talent at fellow Katowice studio MediaVox. Many dubs produced in Katowice for Fox Kids/Jetix/Disney XD and Polsat JimJam have featured his talents. He has voiced, among others, Sonic the Hedgehog in Sonic X; Porter C. Powell, Soundwave and Ultra Magnus in Transformers: Animated; and half of the respective casts of Wunschpunsch and Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.
- Swedish voice actor and comedian Dan Ekborg is a strange case, in that he is both this trope and a Pigeonholed Voice Actor. 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 Rule of Funny, most famously in his role as the Genie from Aladdin.
- Anders Öjebo has the range to voice high-pitched characters (Mickey Mouse), comic relief (Iago, Banzai (and later Timon)), heroes (Darkwing Duck, Tony Stark), villains (Negaduck, The Devil), children (Billy, Howie Hyena), and even female characters (Miss Piggy).
- 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 Kent Mansley, the deep reverb of Doctor Robotnik, the even deeper Malefor, the easygoing and boisterous T-Bone, and even the friendly old grandpa like figure in Uncle Pom. He is very prolific and chances are high one has heard him without even realizing it.
- Daniel Sjöberg has a long range. He can sound very rough and deep like Geralt of Rivia or the Hulk, awkwardly and afraid like Quincy Goatee, wacky like the Pirate Captain or something normal sounding like Sebastian J. Cricket.
- Olga Shorokhova does all the female and little kid voices in Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil in a small cast of five actors. Her other voice roles include Aang, Toph, and Ty Lee (all from Avatar: The Last Airbender), Wendy and Gideon (Gravity Falls), Korra (The Legend of Korra), Spike, Applejack, Sunset Shimmer, Apple Bloom, and Trixie (from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic) and Lindsay (Total Drama), amongst others.
- Alexander Novikov does a lot of male voices (usually The Big Guy or a Cool Old Guy) and is sometimes a voiceover announcer. He has voiced Muscle Man and Skips from Regular Show, Cyborg (the first season of Teen Titans Go!), Mr. Vickle (Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil) and others.
- Nikita Prozorovsky does almost all the adult male voices in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (except for a few higher-pitched and younger characters). In fact, 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 (Scooby-Doo) to adults such as Commissioner Gordon (The Dark Knight Trilogy).
- Dmitry Filimonov has a decent range: he can voice soft-spoken characters such as Cody (Total Drama) or Gingy (Shrek), eccentric mentors like Uncle Chan (Jackie Chan Adventures), Uncle Iroh (Avatar: The Last Airbender) or Sensei Wu (Ninjago), and even the threatening villains like Dr. Blowhole (The Penguins of Madagascar) or Professor Pericles (Scooby-Doo!
