Line 2: {{quote\|'''Tim:''' ''"There were so many different voices that I recognized, from other shows."'' '''Eric:''' ''"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

The villain reels back and snarls "Is that all you've got?" at the hero. Hey... wait a second! You know that voice! It's ''[that character]'' from ''[that show]'' you love so much! And the hero, he's sounding a little familiar too... Line 19 ⟶ 20: === Sub-Categories === * [[Hey, It's That Voice!/A to D\|A-D]] * [[Hey, It's That Voice!/E to H\|E-H]] Line 26: {{examples\|Examples Besides Ones That Speak English and Japanese}} == [[Anime]] dubbed in countries besides ones that speak English and Japanese == * Almost the ''entirety'' of the grid of Animax Latin America in its Spanish language branch gives you this effect, due to the fact that a good chunk of its series were dubbed by Venezuelan Dubbing Houses, who share a common pool of voice actors. Line 35 ⟶ 34: ''[[Saint Seiya]]'': Hermes Barolli ([[Ranma ½\|Mousse]], [[Fullmetal Alchemist\|Colonel Roy Mustang]], [[Digimon Adventure\|Joe Kido]]) as Pegasus Seiya, Élcio Sodré ([[Naruto\|Kakashi Hatake]], [[Crayon Shin-chan\|Hiroshi Nohara]]) as Dragon Shiryu, Francisco Brêtas ([[Magic Knight Rayearth\|Ferio]], [[Dragon Ball\|the Supreme Kai]] and tons of tokusatsu roles) as Cygnus Hyoga and Marcelo Campos ([[Yu-Gi-Oh!\|Yugi Mutou]], [[One Piece\|Roronoa Zoro]], [[Gundam Wing\|Duo Maxwell]], [[Dragon Ball\|Trunks]]) as Unicorn Jabu are examples. ''[[Pokémon (anime)\|Pokémon]]'': Fábio Lucindo ([[Dragon Ball\|Kuririn]], [[Bleach\|Ichigo Kurosaki]], [[Neon Genesis Evangelion\|Shinji Ikari]], [[Inuyasha\|Miroku]], [[Rugrats\|Chuckie Finster]]) as Ash, Alfredo Rollo ([[Dragon Ball\|Vegeta]], [[Slayers\|Gourry Gabriev]], [[Gundam Wing\|Zechs Marquise]]) as Brock, Márcio Araújo ([[Ranma ½\|male Ranma Saotome]], [[Captain Tsubasa\|Ohzora Tsubasa]], [[Dragon Ball\|Yamcha]]) as James and Tatiane Keplermaier ([[Naruto\|Sakura Haruno]], [[Ranma ½\|Akane Tendo]], [[Bleach\|Rukia Kuchiki]]) as May, to name a few. ** ''[[Dragon Ball]] Z'': Wendel Bezerra ([[One Piece\|Sanji]], [[Naruto\|Pain]], [[Ranma ½\|Ryoga Hibiki]], [[SpongeBob SquarePants]], [[Invader Zim\|GIR]] and [[Jackie Chan Adventures\|Jackie Chan]]) as Goku, Tânia Gaidarji ([[Street Fighter\|Chun-Li]] in ''Street Fighter II Victory'', [[~~xxxHolic~~×××HOLiC\|Yuuko Ichihara]]) as Bulma, Fátima Noya ([[Franklin]], [[[[The Brave Little Toaster]] Lampy "[[She's a Man In Japan]]", [[Pokémon (anime)\|Nurse Joy]], [[Magic Knight Rayearth\|Fuu Hououji]], [[Ranma ½\|female Ranma Saotome]], [[Naruto\|Konohamaru]], [[Inuyasha\|Sango]], [[Crayon Shin-chan\|Shinnosuke Nohara]], [[Rugrats\|Tommy Pickles]]) as kid Gohan, and Vágner Fagundes ([[Cardcaptor Sakura\|Touya Kinomoto]], [[Invader Zim\|ZIM]], [[The Lord of the Rings (film)\|Frodo]]) as teen Gohan. * And it's not only the English and LA Spanish language where those things happen. The whole main cast of [[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex\|Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex]], in it's German dub, is made up with the voice actors who also did [[Stargate SG-1]]. So we have: '''Christin Marquitan''' as Kusanagi and Samantha Carter Line 55 ⟶ 54: If you want an idea... * Rowena Raganit has a voice and pigeonhole that is similar to [[Megumi Ogata]] and [[Romi Paku]] in perfecting [[Cross-Dressing Voices]] and [[Cool Big Sis]], but with wider range. In [[Code Geass]] for example, it was expected to hear Rowena voice Rolo, Nagisa and Cornelia, but voicing Kallen and Kaguya was shocking. * Charmaine ~~Sagrado-~~Cordoviz is also a similar case. Charmaine can voice male [[Kid Hero]]es like Netto Hikari of ''[[Mega Man Battle Network\|Rockman.EXE]]'' and Ryoma of ''[[Prince of Tennis]]'', but also Nagi Sanzenin in ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' and Aya Natsume of ''[[Tenjou Tenge]]''. * Grace Cornel is usually being pigeonholed as the [[Genki Girl]] in many roles, as her voice had the youthful quality of a 15-year-old girl. However, hearing her as Kaname Chidori of ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' is quite odd. * Though the above could be seen as a case of avoiding being pigeonholed, it was not quite in the right direction when Cornel voiced [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Kid Hero]] Jin of [[Zettai Muteki Raijin-Oh]]. *** Hazel Hernan seems to prefer [[Tsundere]] characters that she voiced two of [[Rie Kugimiya]]'s roles: [[Shakugan no Shana\|Shana]] and then [[~~Zero~~The noFamiliar ~~Tsukaima~~of Zero\|Louise]]. She also deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as [[Aya Hirano]] and [[Wendee Lee]]—they all voiced [[Haruhi Suzumiya\|Haruhi]] and [[Lucky Star\|Konata]]. * In terms of German voice acting, Julia Kaufmann must be the queen of this trope, seeing as she barely changes her voice when she subs anything. It was quite irritating at first to have [[Azumanga Daioh\|Yukari-sensei]] as [[Neon Genesis Evangelion\|Misato Kasugari]], and it would be worse to go the other way around. * Ankama has recently picked up the license for the French release of ''[[Gurren Lagann]]'', and nearly every character has a voice actor in common with Ankama's other baby, ''[[Wakfu]]''. Most obviously, Yoko and Evangelyne share [[Genevi Ã]]¨ve Doang, and Kamina is absolutely impossible to take seriously because he's voiced by CÃ©dric Dumond, who did the obnoxious announcer's voice during the "Boufbowl Hell" arc. Other notable ones are Nia/Amalia, Kittan/Nox, Viral/Xav, and Tylimph/Rubilax. Line 71 ⟶ 70: ** Also, in Argentinian dubbage for ''Bolt'', the three pigeons that appear are voiced by Daniel Rabinovich, Marcos Mundstock and Carlos Nuñez Cortés from [[Les Luthiers]] * Already mentioned on the anime section, but Mario Castañeda also voiced people in movies such as [[Jim Carrey]] and [[Bruce Willis]] (being he's their official voice). The kicker comes when you see the Latin American dub of Kickass (which has ''extreme'' use of foul language). [[Hilarity Ensues]] for people who associate him with Goku. ** The same can be said with Víctor Ugarte, who also dubbed Daniel Radcilffe since ''[[Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Prisoner of Azkaban (film)\|Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]''. No one ever expects to hear Goku or Harry Potter swear. * Enzo Fortuni voiced Bebe in ''Una Película de Huevos'', [[Inuyasha]], dubbed James and Oliver Phelps since ''[[Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Prisoner of Azkaban (film)\|Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]'' and is the official voice of Elijah Wood and Drake Bell. * When a German dub for an animated movie needs a sonorous middle-aged male, Thomas Fritsch is the prime (or only?) choice. [[The Lion King\|Scar,]] [[Ice Age\|Diego,]] [[The Chronicles of Narnia\|Aslan,]] [[Kung Fu Panda\|Tai Lung,]] and [[Corpse Bride\|Mr. Bonejangles]] are just the tip of this particular iceberg... ** For the deeper voiced, taller, bigger guys they usually go to Thilo Schmitz. He's the German voice for [[Michael Clarke Duncan]] and [[Ron Perlman]]. He's also supplied the German voice for Christopher Judge (Teal'C mostly), along with the anime example above and being the station voice for the [[German TV Stations]] Sat1 and N24. Oh and Tychus Findlay in [[~~Starcraft~~StarCraft II]]. * One of [[Harry Potter (film)\|Snape's]] Mexican Spanish-dubbed voices also supplies the dubbed voice of [[Watchmen (comics)\|Rorschach]] and [[Scooby Doo]]. * ''[[Tangled]]'' has Flynn Rider voiced by major singing star (and actor) Chayanne, who actually has several things in common with the character, from his charm to an embarrassing real name (Elmer). ** It also has Rapunzel voiced by Dana Paola, another well-known Latin singer with a background in soap operas. * Ricky Martin voiced [[Hercules (~~Disney~~1997 film)\|Hercules]] himself in the Latin American dub. Disney often tries to get well-known Latin American singers whenever it can, sometimes to dub, but mostly to sing the award-bait songs. Ricky Martin also sang the Spanish version of 'I Will Go the Distance', Chayanne had previously sung 'Where The Dream Takes You' for ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire\|Atlantis the Lost Empire]]'', Ricardo Montaner sang 'A Whole New World' for ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)\|Aladdin]]'' back in the day, and Luis Miguel did 'Someday' for ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)\|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]''. For ''[[Tarzan (Disney film)\|Tarzan]]'', Phil Collins sang all the songs in both English and Spanish ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULgFbLhO7j8 ...unfortunately]). Tatiana, a popular Mexican singer from [[The Eighties]] dubbed and sang all of Megara's lines (and even reprised her role live in a parade for children's day) Also, while not Disney, Mexican popstar Thalia dubbed [[Anastasia]] and sang all the songs. Line 102 ⟶ 101: *** And [[Arisa Ogasawara]] ([[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt\|Panty]]) regularly dubs... ''[[Lindsay Lohan]].'' Also, [[Fumihiko Tachiki]] is the Japanese voice of... '''[[Duke Nukem Forever\|Duke Nukem]].''' Even more hilarious if you know he voiced [[Neon Genesis Evangelion\|Gendo Ikari]], another role when he had to save the world and get his girl back, but with different [[The End of the World as We Know It\|results.]] ** Another hilarious casting gag: [[Satomi Arai]] voiced Panini in the Japanese dub of [[Chowder]], and one can notice that Panini's personality resemble ''a lot'' like [[ToA ~~Aru~~Certain ~~Majutsu no~~Magical Index\|Kuroko Shirai]], [[Star-Making Role\|her VA's most famous role.]] The only differences between Kuroko and Panini's personalities is while Kuroko is a lesbian and she never gets (so far) {{spoiler\|to win Mikoto's affections,}} Panini, on the other hand, is [[Hide Your Lesbians\|obviously straight]] and {{spoiler\|she manages to get married with Chowder at the end.}} * In Spain this happens, again, ''A LOT''. If films are usually dubbed in Barcelona, TV shows (both live action and animated) are usually dubbed in Madrid (but again, not always). Once more, the number of recognizable voice actors is so big it would need its own page. * This also happens quite often in German dubs. One particularly [[Egregious]] example: Gudo Hoegel, German voice of Captain Jonathan Archer (Star Trek: Enterprise), is also the German voice of [[Darkwing Duck]]. [[Let's Get Dangerous]], indeed. They probably did this because German viewers associated his voice with Scott Bakula´s face since Quantum Leap. Regina Lemnitz voices Roseanne Barr, Whoopi Goldberg, the alpha-hen Ransome in ''Foxbusters'', and the leader of the Zhang in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. ** And then there was Kabel1 showing ''[[~~MASH~~MASH (television)\|MASH]]'' and ''[[Hogan's Heroes]]'' back to back, with Hawkeye and Hogan having the same voice (Thomas Wolff, who later voiced Shredder in in 2003 ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' series) * A German TV-movie version of ''Hamlet'' was dubbed into English and later featured on ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]''. The actor voicing Claudius is quite clearly Ricardo Montalban, unless there is or was another actor with exactly the same voice. * Brazilian Soap Operas are ~~ussually~~usually dubbed in Chile. So, you can hear an actor with a voice in one soap opera, and in another, the same actor with a ~~diferent~~different voice, or ~~viceversa~~vice versa. * During the production of the mid-nineties ~~finnish~~Finnish video game show ''Game Over'', the host, a puppet named Vito, was referred to exclusively as being voiced by himself in the credits. It wasn't until his voice actor, Arttu Harkki, was spotted on ''Who Dares Wins'' that viewers started recognizing his voice, and Arttu eventually admitted that he was the voice of Vito. * In the German dub of the US version of [[Queer as Folk]], Ted Schmidt and Emmett Honeycutt are none other that [[The Ren and Stimpy Show\|Ren and Stimpy!]] Not surprising, as these two often work together. Line 117 ⟶ 116: In the dutch dub, almost all the higher soldiers in the Earth Kingdom have the same voice. That they also look alike doesn't help. * The Swedish Dub has Stephan Karlsén doing Long Feng. He sounds almost exactly like he did in ''[[Pokémon: The First Movie\|Pokémon the First Movie]]'', where he played Mewtwo. * The Brazillian voice actors for [[Code Lyoko\|Ulrich]] and [[~~Mujin~~Uninhabited ~~Wakusei~~Planet Survive!\|Kaoru]] are the same person. * Also in Brazilian dubbing: Orlando Drummond dubbed at least three Hanna-Barbera's dogs: [[Scooby-Doo]] (he's a long-runner in this character and dubbed ALL Scooby appearances– including the live-action movies– aired in Brazil, scoring at Guiness Book), Dyno-Mutt and Hong-Kong Phooey. In a crossover between Scooby's gang and Blue Falcon & Dyno-Mutt, Drummond [[Talking to Himself\|dubbed both dogs]]. He also voiced [[The Grim Adventures of Billy ~~and~~& Mandy\|the Grim Reaper]], Popeye, [[ALF]] and Avenger for ''Dungeons and Dragons'' animated series. What about the Latin American Spanish voice actor for [[Avatar: The Last Airbender\|Prince Zuko]] and [[LazyTown\|Sportacus]]?? * You forgot [[Marmalade Boy\|Tsutomu, Namura-sensei]] and [[Sorcerer Stabber Orphen\|Orphen]]. Line 124 ⟶ 123: * Eric Cartman's voice actor in the German dub of ''[[South Park]]'' also provides the voice for the Chupa-Chups mascot in the TV-ads. More funny is that its catchphrase calls "Leckt mich". The direct translation would be "lick me" but in daily speech it just means "screw you!", like in "Screw you guys, I'm going home!" * It's almost no coincidence that Lizemijn Libgott, Dutch voice actor, voices (nearly) all Disney roles of Ashley Tisdale, from [[Phineas and Ferb\|Candace]] to [[High School Musical\|Sharpay]]. * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knXUH7hQAYc Swedish] [[Aladdin (Disney film)\|Genie]] has the same VA as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDOP5Dsw45A Swedish] [[Hercules (~~Disney~~1997 film)\|Hades]]. ** And the VA of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQqAIumGCe0&feature=related Swedish] [[Aladdin (Disney film)\|Aladdin]] is the Swedish singer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hhq1FA8p0I Peter Jöback]. * Many of the Filipino voice actors for anime (as mentioned above) are also hired to voice western cartoons, which often invokes this trope for viewers of Filipino dubbed anime. Line 136 ⟶ 135: * Parodied in ''[[The Simpsons]]''. In Latin American dubbage of "Pygmoelian", the Dr. Tad Winslow actor shouts "I've been Dr. Tad Winslow and ''Ranma's voice'' during twenty years!" * [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French\|In France:]] Besides his live dubbings, Richard Darbois, considered as "The Voice" by the profession, is [[Aladdin (Disney film)\|Genie]], [[Toy Story (franchise)\|Buzz Lightyear]], [[Batman: The Animated Series\|Batman]], [[Anastasia\|Rasputin]], [[The Nightmare Before Christmas\|Oogie Boogie]]... and so on. Even better, Roger Carel, the dean of the profession, is [[Mickey Mouse]], [[Pinocchio (Disney film)\|Jimini Cricket]], [[Dumbo\|Timothy]], [[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)\|Cheshire Cat]], [[101 Dalmatians\|Pongo]], [[The Jungle Book (Disney film)\|Kaa]], [[Robin Hood\|Sir Hiss]], [[Asterix]], [[The Rescuers\|Bernard]], [[The Great Mouse Detective\|Basil]], [[The Land Before Time\|Petrie]], [[Hanna-Barbera\|Wally Gator]], [[Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels\|Captain Caveman]], [[Heathcliff and The Catillac Cats\|Heathcliff]], [[Winnie the Pooh\|Winnie and Rabbit (he was Piglet for a while)]], [[DuckTales (1987)\|Flintheart]], [[Long List\|etc, etc, etc,]] and, of course, [[Star Wars\|C-3PO]]. And this is [[Staying Alive\|not the end of it]]. Let's not forget Jacques Balutin, better known for having played [[Starsky and Hutch (TV series)\|Starsky]]. He did [[The Sword in the Stone\|Sir Kay]], [[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)\|Tweedle Dee]], [[The Lord of the Rings (animation)\|Bilbo]], [[The Secret of NIMH\|Jeremy]], [[The Rescuers\|Orville]] and [[Toy Story (franchise)\|Slinky Dog]]. Compare [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCdyBIGkXfc Duncan] (0:26) from [[Total Drama]] to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITQqfQ4IPko Ash] (1:24) from [[Pokémon (anime)\|Pokémon]]. Both are voiced by Aurelien Ringelheim. * Hilarious detail in the German dub of [[Gargoyles]]: The character Jeanine Renard (member of "The Pack") is dubbed by Franziska Pigulla. Pigulla also dubbed Gillian Anderson in [[The X-Files]]. (And Jeanine Renard's codename is [http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lduemcGGSJ1qb0e90.jpg Fox].) * Compare [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic\|German]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukv84Ke7I5c Spike] to [[The Fairly ~~Odd Parents~~OddParents\|German]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7Zp5HmnskI Timmy Turner]. Both are voiced by a young man named Hannes Maurer. * Lars Thiesgaard is not only an actor, but also the head of the largest dubbing-studio in Denmark, giving him parts in just about everything animated. You would have problems watching any cartoon-channel in danish for more than an hour without hearing his voice at least once. Of roles can be mentioned [[Dexter's Laboratory\|Dexter]], [[Winnie the Pooh\|Piglet]], [[DuckTales (1987)\|Gizmo Duck, Gyro Gearlose, Duckworth and more on Ducktales]], [[Johnny Bravo]], [[Top Cat]], [[Pinky and The Brain\|Pinky]] and hundreds of others, over the last 20 years. He also does commercials and audiobooks. If you have not heard his voice in Denmark, you may be deaf. Literally Denmark's [[Man of a Thousand Voices]]. * In the Afrikaans dubs of "The Three Musketeers" (the version where the characters are mostly dogs) and [[Lucky Luke]], the heroes (Brakanjan and Lucky Luke) have the same voice actor. What works as the voice of a lanky cowboy is slightly mismatched for a (very) short dog with a nose that lights up when he gets mad. * In the Finnish dub of [[Avatar: The Last Airbender]], Katara is [[Digimon Adventure 02\|Palmon]], Sokka is Digimonkaiser and Zuko is Takeru. Oh, and Iroh is walking advert for DNA. * In the Hungarian ''[[Star Wars]]'' dubs ([[Dueling Dubs\|of which there were many]]), 1st ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'' dub Emperor is Tarkin in all three ''[[A New Hope]]'' dubs, also prequel trilogy Yoda. 1st ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' dub Emperor is 3rd ''ROTJ'' dub Ackbar, and prequel Palpatine. Meanwhile, 1st ''ROTJ'' dub Ackbar is ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'' Darth Sidius (yeah, they thought Sidius and Palpatine were two guys at first, hence the two different actors)! * Both the Swedish and Finnish voice actors for [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)\|Quasimodo]] voiced the titular [[Bear in the Big Blue House]]. The [http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joakim_Jennefors former] was also [[Digimon Adventure\|Gomamon and Angemon]] and sang the first [[Pokémon]] theme, while the [http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velimatti_Ranta latter] was [[Pokémon (anime)\|James]] and [[Prince of Egypt\|Moses]]. * [http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_Hedenberg Johan Hedenberg] is a Swedish VA with a ''very'' distinctive voice and an extensive resume, including [[Life With Louie\|Andy Anderson]], [[Super Mario Brothers Super Show\|Luigi]], [[Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines\|Dick Dastardly]], Dr. Robotnik in [[The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[Sonic Sat AM]], [[Mighty Morphing Power Rangers\|Bulk]], [[Spider-Man: The Animated Series\|NormanOsborn/Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Curt Conners/Lizard, Kraven and Rhino]], [[Hercules (~~Disney~~1997 film)\|Nessos and the Narrator]], [[Harry Potter (film)\|Lord Voldemort]], [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003\|Shredder]], [[Kim Possible\|Drakken]], [[Resistance\|Nathan Hale]], [[Cars\|Leland Turbo]], [[Tintin (film)\|Captain Haddock]] and [[Star Wars the Phantom Menace\|Palpatine/DarthSidious]]. {{reflist}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:Tropes of Legend]] [[Category:Trivia Trope]] Line 156: [[Category:Voice Acting Tropes]] [[Category:Index]] ▲[[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]]
