Hi
Hmmm...the problem I see with the Frank Oz pics is that it doesn't look immediately obvious that he's actually voicing Miss Piggy.
Edit: Never mind, I just noticed the current

Wouldn’t that just be a lateral change from the current?
Then again I cant really think of a better way to visualize this trope than that anyhow

Current is fine.

I'm not that bothered by the current.

Yeah, the current is perfectly fine. Frank Oz is a puppeteer, not a voice actor (at least in that photo.)
Is he not actually not the voice actor then? Even if he isn't an example, I think OP has the right idea. In my experience, it seems pretty common for puppeteers to voice their own puppets (because of lip flaps and stuff). It definitely does a way better job of illustrating that the person and the character are at least related to each other.
Other options - maybe a shot from one of those opening credits scenes where it cycles though the main characters and says who's voicing them?
I really don't like current because it's basically just two pictures pasted next to each other.

That was my thought too, and one that Noel MacNeal expressed on Defunctland's podcast: if you perform a puppet, it's expected that you perform the voice. There are exceptions, but these are few and far between. Frank Oz was indeed the performer and thus voice of Miss Piggy. (Eric Jacobsen has since taken over both roles.)

Hi

I could go with one of the suggestions, since there's no obvious connection between the two sides of the current.

I say 1.1.
Keep current.
If someone can't read the trope title and figure out the lady voices Bart Simpson then we're setting a REALLY low standard for our public.
Well, yeah. But if we can replace the image with something equally or more illustrative and more visually interesting than a photo of a voice actor edited next to a random screenshot of the character they voice - there's no reason not to.

Current isn't that bad but 1.1 is probably better.

Hi
The clock's up and I'm not seeing enough consensus to make a change. Locking up.
A man playing a female puppet seems more direct to me than putting a live woman and a cartoon boy next to each other, as seen here
