Talking to Themselves: Difference between revisions

This is sometimes actually invoked on ''purpose'', as it can make you think, "Ohey, they're a clone? Why didn't I realize that before?"

 

 

{{examples}}

* Generally averted in the ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/user/Sonic90127 fandub] of "Rise From The Ashes", with one notable exception: Phoenix and Edgeworth are the same actor. Of course, [[Ham-to-Ham Combat|there is much shouting back-and-forth between them.]]

* A minor one in ''[[Turnabout Storm]]''; one of the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Ponyville]] Detention Center's guards that [[Ace Attorney|Phoenix Wright]] speaks with is voiced by the same guy that voices Phoenix.

 

== Films -- Animation ==

* ''[[Dawn of War]]'' has quite a bit of this, with [[Paul Dobson|Paul]] and [[Michael Dobson]] playing pretty much every non-named unit in the game, [[Keith Ferguson]] playing Mr. Nailbrain, Heretics, Ronahn and Plague Marines, [[Steve Blum]] playing Cyrus, Martellus, and Eliphas, and [[Fred Tatasciore]] playing Davian Thule, Ulkair, Bloodletters, and Veldoran.

* Surprisingly averted in ''The Operative: [[No One Lives Forever]]''. Kit Harris voices both Cate Archer (the main character) and Inge Wagner (one of the major villains, who is eventually a boss), but the two never actually talk to each other.

** He also has a long argument about ways and means with alternate-universe Batman in the episode "A Better World". Even better is that the two Batmans (Batmen?) are deliberately hidden in shadows the entire time, making it so that the conversation could be interpreted as either one starting it.

** The ultimate example in [[The DCAU]] comes in the ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' episode "[[For the Man Who Has Everything]]", where Batman, voiced by [[Kevin Conroy]], has a flashback of his father, voiced by [[Kevin Conroy]], being mugged by Joe Chill, voiced by [[Kevin Conroy]].

* Tim Daly, the voice of the titular character from ''[[Superman: The Animated Series]]'' also voiced Bizarro, which is justified in that Bizarro is a clone of Superman, but they sound different as the former sounds more guttural and simple and backwards than the first. In one sequence, a yet to be corrupted Bizarro does talk as Superman and at one point saves Clark Kent from falling.

** This was carried over to ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'', following (though with a three-year delay) the change of Superman's voice actor from Tim Daly to George Newbern, even though he and Superman don't interact directly here.

* And best friends Ingrid and Lupe in ''[[My Gym Partner's a Monkey]]''.

* And twins Jeanette and Therese in ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines]]'', who can often be found arguing with one another. Very loudly. {{spoiler|And, in fact, turn out to be a single person -- Tourette -- with severe split-personality disorder, meaning that she is ''literally'' talking to herself.}}

** With [[Richard Horvitz]] doing both Billy and his father Harold, Greg Eagles doing Grim and Sperg, and of course [[Phil LaMarr]] doing Irwin's entire family (sans him and his mom, whom were ''also'' voiced by the same person, [[Vanessa Marshall]]); his father, his grandmother, and {{spoiler|grandfather [[Dracula]]}}.

** Note, though, that Irwin, a young black boy, is voiced by an adult white [[Cross-Dressing Voices|woman]]. ComicCon panel interviews confirm that she was unaware of Irwin's ethnicity when first introduced to the character's design as a colorless sketch.<ref>Before people cry [[Unfortunate Implications]], note that this is no [[Double Standard]]; the aforementioned Lamarr, who ''is'' African-American, has voiced several Caucasian and [[Samurai Jack|at least]] ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender|two]]'' Asian characters.</ref>

** Matt Lanter: Harry Osborn, Flash Thompson, Klaw

* [[King Leonardo and His Short Subjects]]: Jackson Beck was King Leonardo and Biggy Rat; Allen Swift was Odie Cologne, Itchy Brother, the narrator, and the King's twin nephews Duke and Earl.

* In all the old school [[Donald Duck]] cartoons not only was Donald voiced by Clarence Nash but so were his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie; so every short that exclusively focused on the four of them was simply just Mr. Nash providing all the voices. Not only that, but in her first few appearances [[Cross-Dressing Voices|Nash voiced Daisy Duck as well]]. The short "Mr. Duck Steps Out" solely features Donald, Daisy, ''and'' the nephews, with Nash voicing all five.

** For that matter, with the exception of ''[[Quack Pack]]'' which gave them each a distinct voice, this trope always counts for the nephews. All three are always voiced by one singular actress or actor.

*** And speaking of Huey, Dewey, and Louie appearances, we might as well add in ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'' as well. Russi Taylor voiced not only the nephews but also Webby, and the four often worked together being the main kids on the show. The four main Beagle Boys (Big Time, Bouncer, Burger, and Baggy) were voiced by two actors each: Frank Welker as Big Time and Baggy, and Chuck McCann as Bouncer and Burger. Hal Smith also provided the voices of Flinthart Glomgold and Gyro Gearloose, and although not as common as the previous two examples, the two characters did share a couple scenes together; for example one early episode has Glomgold hire Gyro to build giant construction robots for him.
