Mind-blowing voice acting revelations

[scorptatious]

I remember finding that Laura Bailey voiced:

Spoiler

Isara from Valkyria Chronicles, who is a somewhat timid yet very smart engineer who is also very kind and generous.

At the same time, she also voiced:

Spoiler

Shin Chan, a loud and obnoxious little kid who is rude, dimwitted, and crude. (At least that's how Adult Swim portrayed him)

Boy, talk about contrasts.

 

[Dango]

The boy (Haley Joel Osment) from The Sixth Sense voices Sora in the Kingdom Hearts games.

 

[not_you]

Steve Blum (i.e. Spike "motherfucking" Speigel and Garcia "fucking" Hotspur, respecively) did the voice for Grunt in Mass Effect 2

And this is why Steve Blum is the third manliest man in existence.

So who would be the other two manliest guys...?
I can guess Chuck Norris... But beyond that, idunno...

OT: I have to admit... DiMaggio as Wakka was totally left field...

 

[PimpHandofGod]

Pretty much all of these the first time I saw it

It blew my mind in a bad way when I watched a couple seconds of Bob's Burgers and heard Bob's voice. Why does this horribly animated chinless fatass sound just like Archer from one of the best animated shows on television? Damn it H. Jon Benjamin, save your voice for better things!

Pretty much every time I find out about another character that was voiced by jennifer hale

 

[pearcinator]

Billy West voices these four characters in Futurama

Spoiler

He also did both Ren & Stimpy.

Also,I think Hank Azaria needs more recognition, he has an amazing range of voices (Snake, Moe, Apu, Chief Wiggum and many others from The Simpsons) and also is a talented actor in real life (Mystery Men, Godzilla and Night at the Museum 2).

EDIT: It always gets me that someone as hot at this...

Spoiler

...does the voice of this.

Spoiler

Even though it is obviously the same voice, every time I hear her voice in Family Guy I picture Mila Kunis naked.

You justfound out that John Dimaggion is the greatest voice actor ever?

 

[Samurai Silhouette]

None of them holds a candle to Tara Strong.

Finding out John DiMaggio voiced Wakka just now. W.T.F?! I cringed every time Wakka (or Rikku or Tidus) opened his mouth in FFX. No, I won't believe it. John DiMaggio didn't do that role; he can do no wrong!

Before that, finding out that the voice of the Joker from the 90s Batman Animated series (and Arkham Asylum/City) was Mark Hamil. I reacted thusly: "Mark Hamil? Not the Mark Hamil, right? Not the guy who played Luke Skywalker, just someone with the same name? Same guy? Are you trying to trick me into looking it up on IMDB?" I had to actually see a clip of him doing the voice before I believed it.

He alters his voice so well, and that laugh...my god. Best Joker ever IMO.

Try arguing with people that he's a better Joker then Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger. *Le Sigh*

and Kevin Conroy is the only true voice of Batman to me.

 

[Captain-Giggles]

Dee Bradley Baker voices all these characters.

Since it's not entirely clear the second image is the Gravemind from Halo.
Talk about both a diverse and strange range....

Well, the first one that comes to mind that really shocked me was learning the identity of Johnny Young Bosch.

I'd connected him to voices upon voices, curiously wondering who he was. When I watch the credits of one of the old seasons of power rangers just for kicks and there's his name. Right up there. Adam. Former black ranger.

Quite frankly, I was shocked. Going all: That's Johnny Young Bosch?! I had no idea! He's moved up in the world! Squee!!!

Etc. It was further established because it was around the time Devil May Cry 4 was coming out, so I knew he was playing Nero. And then to my surprise he voiced Vash the Stampede from Trigun. I was looking him up like effing clockwork after that.

Two of these for me.
#1: Sergeant Cortez from Timesplitters is the narrator/only credited English VA in little-known (as in I can't find the intro in English on Youtube) Cultures 2.

#2: Luiz from Resident Evil 4 is voiced by the same guy (Rino Romano) who voiced The Batman in the cartoon of the same name. They sound SO different this really surprised me.

and Kevin Conroy is the only true voice of Batman to me.

Damn right. Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths was hard to watch because Conroy wasn't in it.

As soon as I read the first two lines there, I knew exactly where you were going. Good call man!
