Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

That would make sense, but I can't help but feel that if I put it up as Talking To Himself someone would delete it as misuse.
ME!? You want ME to be the director of your Christmas play?!If that is true, then the Acting for Two page needs some alteration.
And I quote:
"Understandably this happens a lot in animation, simply by giving the same voice actor multiple roles; see Talking To Himself for that version."
Or perhaps I'm just being dumb and misreading things?
Edited by DarkHunter^^You are right. There is at least one factual inaccuracy on one of those two pages, because they contradict each other on a point.
The point being , is talking to himself about one person talking to himself as two characters, as the trope is defined, or is it about voice actors acting for two, which is how the trope is not defined?
I'd say Acting for Two would also apply for voice actors, with Talking To Himself for when such roles regularly interact with each other. No need to complicate things by giving the latter an alternate definition

I'm not sure this is the right place, but I'm wondering: If an animated work has one person voicing multiple characters who don't meet, does that fall under Acting for Two or Talking To Himself? Because one of the latter's alternate titles is Voice Acting For Two but the Laconic says that the characters have to meet each other.
