[[Voice Actors]] known for a wide range of voices, and therefore voicing [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]. Basically if you can't say "[[Hey, It's That Voice!]]", odds are, it was one of these people. Fact is, the industry is incredibly small, and there just aren't enough actors to cover all the exponentially increasing amount of characters and projects created each year. Being versatile is required.
Line 243 ⟶ 244:
* Try pigeonholing [[Nobutoshi Canna]]. This man has voiced [[Badass]]es in many flavors, from laid back bad asses ([[GetBackers|Midou Ban]], [[Fate/stay night|Lancer]]), scary bad asses ([[Berserk|Guts]], [[Super Robot Wars|Axel Almer (not the silly type)]], [[Dynasty Warriors|Cao Pi]]) or goof off bad asses ([[Super Robot Wars|Silly Axel]], [[Fushigi Yuugi|Tasuki]]). If that's not enough, he also has two [[Bruce Lee Clone]] roles on his resume ([[Soul Series|Maxi]], [[Shaman King|Lee Pai Long]]), or someone who sounds like a clown ([[Bleach|Nnoitra Gilga]]). And, oh, you want to know who's behind the voice who yells [[Macross 7|"LISTEN TO MY SOOOOONGGGG!!!"]]? Yeah. Him too.
** He's also pulled off the sensitive young Nowaki in ''[[Junjou Romantica]]'', a startling contrast with... well... pretty much every character listed above. Canna's capable of bringing the smoove when called upon.
* [[Kaori Shimizu]] manages to completely avoid being pigeonholed. Even though most fans know her for her matured, deep voice of smart women such as [[School Rumble|Akira]], [[Lyrical Nanoha|Signum]] and [[Super Robot Wars|Lamia]], she is also capable of voicing cutesy voices starting from the melancholic [[Serial Experiments Lain|Lain]], hysterical [[
** To make things more obvious, she is also capable of switching her voices from the deep one to the cutesy one in a split second (in Lamia/Aschen's case). Pigeonhole ''that''!
** Not to mention convincingly voicing {{spoiler|the three different personalities of Lain}} in ''[[Serial Experiments Lain]]''. And this is her ''debut role''.
