''Wait... they're voiced by the same person?!''

[hazabaza1]

Kupo!

That, he does.

Spoiler: List of VAs I can *normally* pick out near instantly.

Yuri Lowenthal
Troy Baker
Liam O'Brian(couldn't immediately tell he voiced Dist the Rose)
Laura Bailey
Johnny Yong Bosch

Yes, it is a comparatively smaller list. :{ But they're also some of my favorites. I was also surprised to find out that Jennifer Hale is the voice behind Sheena Fujibayashi in Tales of Symphonia(I have a very difficult time picking out specific female VAs).

Ah, Liam O'Brien! That was one of the others I forgot about. Though he can be a bit harder to tell because he's got a massive range of voices from "Campy old man" to "angry wise person" to "chill as fuck student" to "ULTIMATE RAGE GOD POWERS SIX ARMS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGUIK"

He does indeed have a huge range. The mark of a very talented voice actor(Liam, Yuri and Troy are honestly my top three favorites). Liam is more than just one god, though. :[] He's also the voice of Emperor Madoras, whom is technically a prototype Dark God.

OP you are implying you watch dubs, versus subs. SHUN. SHUN. Subs > Dubs

I mostly watch subs actually, it's only DBZ where I prefer the dub

Which reminds me; the Japanese VA for Frieza also voices Yakko. That blew my mind when I found out

That totally blew my mind. Karen Strassman also voiced Kitana from MK, Aigis and Izanami from Persona and Izsha from Heart of the Swarm, and while similarities between Aigis and Izsha are obvious, I would never believe that Nanako and Mileena are voiced by the same person.

 

[Dr Ampersand]

Robin Atkin Downes all the way.

Assassins creed 3 spoilers*

George: Blah blah blah Braddock is going to shank the French.

Me: TRAVIS?!

Me: Your a junkie for blood old man, aren't you?

Much later in the game....

Haytham: This sad excuse of a leader Burned your village

Me: I knew the Continental army was led by a loser otaku killer!! For some reason I feel a sense of euphoria!

He is extremely distinguishable.

 

[Hikaru CF]

Spoiler: This guy

Spoiler: And this guy

My mind never ceases to be blown by the range of voices that some voice actors have.

 

[GeneralBigG]

I remember some character, in some game, sounding just like Julius from Saint's Row 1. I think I'm thinking of the Mass Effect series, but I'm not sure.

You're talking about Keith David ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0202966/?ref_=tt_ov_st ), who voiced Julius Little in Saint's Row and Saint's Row 2. He also voiced Captain David Anderson in the Mass Effect games and The Arbiter from Halo 2 and Halo 3.

The more you know....

Ah, the Persona stuff reminded me that Kanji Tatsumi, Booker DeWitt and Snow Villiers all have the same voice as well - Troy Baker's to be specific. Such a good voice too.

Yeah, Baker is awesome, he even looks a little bit like Kanji. However, sometimes I can hear some hints of Kanji in his Booker performance. Especially when he gets all angry.

I've played enough games and watched enough anime to not be surprised any more. Before I really knew who Steve Blum was I was shocked to learn that he did Spike Spiegel and Ares in God of War. That was one of the last times I was surprised, though.

I recognize voices all the time. I don't think Steve Blum will ever be able to sneak past me again. Yuri Lowenthal is in literally every anime and video game ever made. Ever. In all time ever. And even well-known celebrity actors are getting in on it these days, and I'm not just talking about Disney's translations of Miyazaki films. It was pretty cool to learn that Martin Sheen, Tricia Helfer, Seth Green, Keith David, Michael Hogan, and Adam Baldwin were all in the Mass Effect cast. Frickin' Christopher Plummer and Max von Sydow were in Skyrim somehow. Patrick Stewart has been in a number of games.

I've lately become a sort of connessiour (sp?) of voice actors. I'm pretty good at picking them out of the cast, even with funny voices, and my attention to this has stripped the surprise out of it. Now it's just fun to nail the actor behind the voice without checking imdb beforehand.

 

[Scrustle]

I found this one out a few days ago.

Spoiler

All the same guy. He's done many more too.

 

[triggrhappy94]

The most shocking and amazing same-voice character...

Spoiler: This Guy

Garrus from the Mass Effect series

Spoiler: And This Guy

The American Sniper from Company of Heroes

 

[Hazy992]

Ah, the Persona stuff reminded me that Kanji Tatsumi, Booker DeWitt and Snow Villiers all have the same voice as well - Troy Baker's to be specific. Such a good voice too.

He's also the default male voice for The Boss in Saints Row: The Third. I thought Booker sounded familiar XD

 

[Orange12345]

I was shocked to find out that homer's coyote spirit guide form the simpsons was voiced by Johnny Cash, guess I first saw it as a kid and never noticed


Also everyone form this panel

 

[Flaery]

When I found out that Timmy Turner (from Fairly Odd Parents) and Raven (from Teen Titans) had the same voice actor.

 

[redmoretrout]

Jake the Dog (Adventure Time) and Marcus Phoenix (Gears of War) have the same voice actor.

 

[solemnwar]

Pretty much everything Jennifer Hale voices. There are some roles that sound very similar to the Commander Shephard voice (my first introduction to her) but she's also the voice to fucking Bastila (KOTOR) and Leah (Diablo 3).

The last one especially blew my fucking mind.

 

[In Search of Username]

Neil fucking Ross.

Spoiler: Plays this little guy with the monocle...

Spoiler: ...and VOLGIN.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised about that.

Also I'm always surprised by John DiMaggio popping up everywhere, but he's usually pretty easy to recognise so I guess that doesn't apply here.

Also I remember being surprised as a kid to find out so many of the voice actors in the Simpsons voiced all kinds of different characters - and of course to find out Bart Simpson was voiced by a woman.

 

[Adeptus Aspartem]

It started when i got into MLP, because it was the first series that made me curious about the VA's and the overall process into making cartoons.

I'd say sofar Tara Strong takes the cake for me.

Spoiler

Spoiler

Spoiler

Spoiler

All the same VA. Srsly? Also she voices Ben10, Raven and Ingrid Third.
Come on, how could this lady voice a character in every last one of my favorite cartoons without me knowing it?
