** 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
*** 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 no Tsukaima|Louise]]. She also deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as [[Aya Hirano]] and [[Wendee Lee]]
* 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 Cédric 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.

** Also happens a lot in France: Richard Darbois, for example, is considered the semi-official french voice of [[Harrison Ford]]. Can lead to interesting situations, considering he also dubbed [[William Shatner]], [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]], the late Patrick Swayze and the Genie from ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]''...
*** Emmanuel Curtil is another frequently heard voice actor. He notably voiced [[The Prince of Egypt|Moses]] and [[The Lion King|Simba]] ([[Crowning Music of Awesome|including the musical parts!]]), [[Friends|Chandler]] and many other appearances of Matthew Perry, [[Early Edition|Gary Hobson]], [[Melrose Place|many]] [[24|characters]] [[Desperate Housewives|played]] [[The Love Boat|by Doug Savant]] and almost all appearances of [[Jim Carrey]] since ''[[The Mask (film)|The Mask]]''.
** Western series and movies are also dubbed into Japanese, which can create all sorts of strange images in the heads of anime fans living in the West. Fans of [[Akira Ishida]] [[
*** It seems that the people who do the casting for many Japanese dubs seems to be aware of the roles of many of the voice actors and sometimes they cast them in very similar roles [[Playing Against Type|or different to the ones]] they normally are identified with them:
**** [[Kei Tomiyama]] voiced Yang Wenli, a military genius in [[Legend of the Galactic Heroes]], but in the Japanese dub of [[Spaceballs]], he voiced Dark Helmet, a whiny and moronic [[Star Wars|Darth Vader-wannabe]] without ANY KIND of military prowness. Also [[Kikuko Inoue]], who voiced Princess Vespa in Japanese in the same movie, is more known in Japan for voicing [[Ah! My Goddess|more kinder]] [[Ranma ½|and tender roles]], but in this movie, she voices a really ''bitchy'' princess, years before [[Guilty Gear|she voiced]] [[Macross Frontier|other kind of bitches.]]
**** [[Yuriko Fuchizaki]] voiced both [[Sakura Wars|Li Kouran]] and [[Revolutionary Girl Utena|Anthy Himemiya]], both [[Meganekko|girls with glasses]]. Guess which character she voiced in the Japanese dub of the [[Scooby Doo]] live-action films who ''wears glasses?''<ref>
**** [[Toshiyuki Morikawa]] is famous in Japan for participating in shounen-ai titles. In the Japanese dub of [[Brokeback Mountain]] he voiced Ennis del Mar, ''a [[Gay Cowboy]].''
**** [[Ryusei Nakao]] normally voices evil, psychotic bastards in Anime (like, [[Dragonball Z|Frieza]], [[Bleach|Mayuri Kurotsuchi]], etc) but in Japanese dubs, he normally voices Heroic roles like [[Darkwing Duck]], [[Garfield|Jon Arbuckle]], [[The Simpsons (animation)|Mr. Bergnstrom]], etc.
