Voice actors who are best known in Anime dubbing and Japanese video game dubs are listed here.
- Christopher Sabat does many, many voices especially in Dragon Ball Z where he voiced Vegeta, Piccolo, Yamcha, Shenron, General Silver, Kami, King Piccolo, Zarbon, Jeice, Burter, Recoome, Guru, Korin, Mr. Popo, and far more extra characters.
- And for a role that breaks him out of his pigeonhole, we have the high-pitched and squeaky Innuendobot 5000 from Borderlands 2.
- Sonny Strait is best known for his roles as Krillin in Dragon Ball Z and Usopp in One Piece, both of whom have somewhat high-pitched and nasally voices. In the former anime, he also provides the voice of Bardock, who packs a voice that is deep and gruff in equal measure.
- Luci Christian: Now this is one voice actress with a wide vocal range. You can have her play a young boy like Honey-senpai from Ouran High School Host Club or Wrath from Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), but you can also have her play a typical teenage Action Girl like Kaname from Full Metal Panic! or Uraraka from My Hero Academia.
- She can also play ditzy teenage girls with cutesy voices like Duck from Princess Tutu or Elsienote from The World God Only Knows.
- If you want something more mature from her, try Yukari (if you can call her "mature") from Azumanga Daioh or Kashiwa from Welcome to the NHK.
- You can even have her in Ax-Crazy roles like Ophelia from Claymore, Medusa from Soul Eater and even Alois Trancy from Black Butler.
- Or even have her as a Lemony Narrator. Case in point: Kamisama Kiss or Ōkami-san.
- Caitlin Glass doesn't seem to appear to have a typecast at all. She can go from genki girls like Miria, to a deep-voiced Deadpan Snarker like Haruhi and can also go right somewhere in the middle like Winry. You can even have her play little boys like Damian.
- Monica Rial: Her voice may be recognizable in dubs, but she does have a wide vocal range too. You can have her play the stoic type like Mei Misaki, the jerk type like Stocking, the kid type like May Chang, or the fun type like Shiro.
- If you want a more mature take on her voice, try Haruka Shitow from RahXephon, Chane Laforet from Baccano! (albeit with a French accent) or Michiko Malandro from Michiko & Hatchin.
- Tsuyu Asui is an interesting one as takes her usual voice in anime and makes it stand out from others by making it sound frog-like.
- Chris Patton: you can have him play the meek main character like Ayato Kamina or Tatsuhiro Sato; jerks (albeit with a heart) like Hajime Aoyama, Fakir, or Keima Katsuragi; pretty boys like Naozumi Kamura, Soushi Miketsukami, or Tooru Oikawa; or even crazy guys like Creed Diskenth, Graham Specter, or Ebisumaru.
- Jessie James Grelle: You can have them play high pitched roles like Armin Arlert. However, they also played the deep voiced Fumikage Tokoyami and you wouldn't be able to tell that he and Armin share the same voice.
- Micah Solusod: you wouldn't be able to tell he's both Bea from Space☆Dandy and Best Jeanist from My Hero Academia.
- Ian Sinclair and Joel McDonald earn their spot on this list with episode 14 of Space☆Dandy alone. They voice all of the Dandy and Meow variants.
- Joel McDonald deserves a special mention in general. One minute he's playing young, high-pitched characters like Jacuzzi Splot from Baccano!, the next he plays more mature, deep-voiced characters like Jae-ha from Yona of the Dawn.
- Emily Neves is an interesting example. She started of as a voice actress in Sentai Filmworks where she was mostly known for playing silent and reserved girls like Kotomi Ichinose and Angel. But when she started appearing in Funimation dubs, she showed that she is more than just that by playing roles such as Minene Uryuu and Eri. That's right. That poor little girl that the heroes had to save shares the same voice as a mad-bombing terrorist who is a frequent subject to fanservice.
- Tia Ballard: She can play cute mascots like Happy, teenage girls like Nanami Momozono and even mature women like Beast.
- Brittney Karbowski: She can do boys like Black Star; young girls like Wendy, tsunderes like Yuri, emotionless girls like Ikaros, and many others.
- The Index series not only has her voicing Mikoto Misaka, but also all her clones of differing personalities (whereas the original Japanese had different voice actresses for her clones).
- Brina Palencia can go play several voices that can be completely different from each other. She can use her normal voice like Holo from Spice and Wolf or Yuno Gasai from Future Diary; as well as playing deep-voiced boys like Ciel Phantomhive from Black Butler or Minoru Mineta from My Hero Academia.
- She also does a high-pitched voice quite well which heavily differs from her usual voice. Just look at Chopper from One Piece, Tamama from Sgt. Frog or Nina Tucker from Fullmetal Alchemist.
- J. Michael Tatum is perhaps best known for playing meganes like Kyouya Ohtori from Ouran High School Host Club, Rei Ryuugazaki from Free! and Tenya Iida from My Hero Academia. But he can also do a Large Ham as well with the likes of Rintarou Okabe from Steins;Gate or Isaac Dian from Baccano!.
- If you want to hear him a Cold Ham, try Erwin Smith from Attack on Titan.
- He can do pretty boys too like Sebastian Michaelis from Black Butler or France from Hetalia: Axis Powers.
- With a deep voice, he can do gruff roles as well like Scar from Fullmetal Alchemist.
- While he's more well known for his deep voiced characters, he's also quite capable of doing high pitched voices like the wimpy Dororo from Sgt. Frog.
- You may know Colleen Clinkenbeard for her deep voice with roles like Riza Hawkeye or Momo Yaoyorozu, but she can pull of boys too. Like Monkey D. Luffy, whose voice is nothing like the last two.
- You can have Todd Haberkorn play the hero like Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Tail, Allen Walker from D.Gray-Man or Firo Prochainezo from Baccano!. But you can also have him as the villain like Oberon from Sword Art Online, Judar from Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic or Betelguese from Re:Zero (oh yeah, the last one also falls into the Ax-Crazy type).
- You can also have him as the talkative guy who complains a lot like Death the Kid from Soul Eater or Kimihiro Watanuki from ×××HOLiC
- Or the Idiot Hero like Italy Hetalia: Axis Powers or Kerero Sgt. Frog.
- Or have him play The Stoic like Haruka Nanase from Free!.
- Cherami Leigh can play young girls of any kind: the Genki Girl type like Patty Thompson, the Tsundere type like Shana, the stoic type like Kyoka Izumi or even the villainous type like Road Kamelot.
- She can play teenage heroines too like Asuna Yuuki from Sword Art Online, Lucy Heartfilia from Fairy Tail or Sailor Venus from Sailor Moon.
- Her role as female V from Cyberpunk 2077 clearly stands out from her other roles for being more mature-sounding, foul-mouthed and anti-heroic.
- Amanda Winn-Lee has done it all: Action Girl (Rio Kinezono from Burn Up!), Femme Fatale (Miss Deep from Read or Die), Emotionless Girl (Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion), Yamato Nadeshiko (Yukiko Amagi from Persona 4), and dozens more that would take all day to list.
- Karen Strassman has very wide range. The list of characters she's voiced has included Japanese freedom fighters (Code Geass), robot girls (Persona 3), cute little sisters (Persona 4), valkyries (Odin Sphere), thieving bats (Sonic the Hedgehog), and even characters of dubious gender (Street Fighter X Tekken)!
- Keith Silverstein is a Man of a Thousand Voices who can replicate the voices of other Men of a Thousand Voices, pulling off flawless renditions of Crispin Freeman, Steve Blum, and Troy Baker. His versatility is also shown in roles that break him out of his pigeonhole, such as Vector the Crocodile (Sonic the Hedgehog) and Bryan Fury (Street Fighter X Tekken).
- Sean Schemmel has quite a wide vocal range, from something approximate to his natural speaking voice (Goku from Dragon Ball Z) to high pitched (Horace from Skullgirls) to various levels of deep, including baritone (Super Saiyan 3 Goku from Dragon Ball Z), raspy (Lucario from Pokémon: The Series, Strong from Fallout 4) and bass (Black Doom from Shadow the Hedgehog). He also does a mean Arnold Schwarzenegger impression (Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX).
- While many people don't realize it due to his baritone voice relating to badasses, Crispin Freeman has a very wide vocal range. Compare Kyon (Haruhi Suzumiya), Orange (Code Geass), Hideki (Chobits), Koichi (Digimon Frontier), Alucard (Hellsing), and Shizuo (Durarara!!).
- Michelle Ruff has admirable range and completely avoids pigeonholing herself. Among others, she does the cheerful tomboy Miki (Marmalade Boy), the valiant adviser Luna (Sailor Moon), the deliciously snarky Etna (Disgaea), the Sugar-and-Ice Personality Avril (Wild ARMs 5), the serious noble Rukia (Bleach), the emotionless Yuki (Haruhi Suzumiya), the ditzy Tsukasa (Lucky Star), and nervous heroine Alicia (Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria).
- She's also done the refined by gentle Aoi Sakuraba, taken over the role of Action Girl Saber, and done a completely different interpretation of her role as Yuki Nagato for the alternate reality of The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan.
- She can also do little boys too, such as young Satoru Fujinuma.
- Maddie Blaustein was an incredibly versatile voice actress: being transgender, she had voiced countless characters both male and female. In Pokémon: The Series, alone, she voiced over thirty characters, human and Pokemon alike!
- Wendee Lee:
- Watch the Bleach dub. You won't even tell that Yoruichi, Tatsuki, and Ururu all have the same voice.
- And try to match those voices with Haruhi Suzumiya's voice!
- Not to mention you can barely recognize her voice as Konata Izumi (Lucky Star).
- Somehow Tony Oliver can voice Lupin from Lupin III, Lancer from Fate/stay night, Bat from the Fist of the North Star movie, and Keiichi from the Ah! My Goddess movie in English and they don't sound one damn bit alike. Don't forget he voices Ulquorria the nihlist emotionless hollow warrior servant and BANG SHISHIGAMI HERO OF PEACE AND LOVE!!! and highly visible loud ninja, Check out his wikipedia page, with perhaps not a thousand voices so far voiced, Oliver almost never voices similar characters. Perhaps being the epitome of the un-pidgeonholed actor.
- Go to YouTube and watch any video that features Gaara (Naruto) speaking in the English dub. Now do the same thing for Lloyd (Code Geass). Both are voiced by Liam O'Brien, who also voices Vayne in Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis.
- Kira Buckland (known at Newgrounds as Rina-chan) is capable of doing eight roles in the same game. All from the protagonist and her other seven split personalities.
- Richard Epcar is known having a signature deep voice but is able to voice higher pitched characters including the Joker (Injustice: Gods Among Us).
- Michael Sinterniklaas. He's pulled off teen heroes, old men, accented characters such as in Black Butler and Hetalia: Axis Powers and even cute little animals or creatures such as all the Hemkas, Cozy Heart Penguin (who's a female) and Seviper.
- Bryce Papenbrook: He may have a distinctive voice but he can also show a bit of range too. While you can mostly hear him in his usual voice in Sword Art Online, The Seven Deadly Sins and Miraculous Ladybug, you can also have him do a deeper voice (My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!), a higher pitched voice (Beastars) or a mix in between with a bit of a growl (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba).
- Of course, there's also Eren Yeager from Attack on Titan who manages to go through a bit of Vocal Evolution (in-universe) throughout the series. Just compare Season 1, where Papenbrook has his usual voice, to Season 4 (specifically in the first few episodes during his first meeting with Falco), whose voice is much deeper and somewhat unrecognizable at first. It definitely shows his range.
- Speaking of Attack on Titan, Jason Liebrecht manages to voice Zeke both as a deep voiced older man as well as him as a young toddler with a higher pitch up to the point that you may not be able to recognize that its the Same Voice Their Entire Life.
- Interestingly enough, he did something similar in Baccano! where he voiced two completely different characters (one with a deeper voice and another with a higher pitch) and differs them quite well.
- Stephanie Sheh is perhaps best known for her soft-spoken characters like Hinata, Eureka and Mikuru or outgoing ones like Usagi, Orihime and Yui. However she has also managed to pull out deadpan roles like Mamimi or Zhu Li.
- She also voiced Akira Kogami who often quickly switches from her usual high-pitched Genki Girl voice to a low-pitched Bitch in Sheep's Clothing.
- Not to mention Nui Harime who also appears to fall under her usual Genki Girl typecast, but is also the Ax-Crazy second-in-command to the Big Bad.
- Erica Mendez: She can play young boys like Gon or Aladdin; young girls like Megumin or Emma; soft-spoken characters like Raphtalia and loud-mouthed ones like Ryuuko.
- Eric Stuart spent eight years both Acting for Two as Brock and James and voicing several minor characters, with very little repetition in voices. Compare his voice as Ash’s Squirtle in the first season to May’s Squirtle in the 8th for a good example. He also had several roles in other 4Kids shows, most notably Seto Kaiba, proving just as diverse in those.
- Max Mittelman: He can play the meek, teenage main character like Kousei Arima and Atsushi Nakajima. But then he also voices the deadpan Saitama and the villainous Meruem.
- Veronica Taylor deserves some mention, being able to do voices such as Ash Ketchum, Carly, Setsuna Meioh and April with an impressive amount of variation.
- Cristina Valenzuela can play sweet girls like Marinette Dupain-Cheng or Mio Akiyama or broken girls like Homura Akemi or Sakura Matou; but she can also turn herself into a talking animal mascot like Hawk, a young boy like Killua Zoldyck or even a full blown, foul-mouthed, bitch like Verosika Mayday.
- You can also have her as a Tsundere like Rei Hino, a Combat Sadomasochist like Darkness or a Psycho Lesbian like Ren Yamai.
- Johnny Yong Bosch may be best known for playing the kindhearted main character like Ichigo Kurosaki or Vash the Stampede. But he can also do a Manipulative Bastard like Lelouch Lamperouge or Izaya Orihara.
- As well as a young, soft-spoken boy like Renton Thurston
- And even an Ax-Crazy Sociopath like Ryuunosuke Uryuu
- He can also do deep voiced characters such as in My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising, where he plays the villain. As well as in Yona of the Dawn, where he plays an older man up to the point that its almost unrecognizable.
