Line 97:
* [[Talking to Himself]] is relatively rare in Brazilian dubs, especially nowadays, since there are rules about it, but there were some exceptions. In ''[[Inuyasha]]'''s dub, voice actress Leticia Quinto voices both Kagome and Kikyo. In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', Marik and Odion were both voiced by voice actor Jose Parisi Jr... A season later they must've noticed that the move was not wise, as Marik's voice actor was changed.
* Briareos and Tereus share the same voice actor in ''[[Appleseed]] Ex Machina'', by the virtue of having nearly identical genetic makeup.
* In the ''Horitsuba Gakuen'' [[Omake|CD dramas]] for ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' and ''[[
* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]''
** Namikawa also voices twins, where he uses a Fay-like voice for spacey North Italy and a deeper, louder voice for grumpy South Italy.
Line 409:
* ''[[Conkers Bad Fur Day]]'' has dozens of characters with major speaking roles, yet only three people do the voices for all of them, and one of those three does only one voice. Chris Seavor actually voiced over ''forty'' characters; ''every single male part except the Great Mighty Poo.'' Now that's some incredible range.
* ''[[Disgaea Hour of Darkness]]'' has [[Bob Papenbrook|one man]] playing General Carter, Thursday, and Archangel Vulcanus. While Thursday never has any lines with either of the other characters, both Vulcanus and Carter get a whole scene together.
* ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' has Rozalin and Taro voiced by [[Wendee Lee|the same woman]] in English. This leads to the [[Unfortunate Implications|disturbing fact]] that the [[Cute Shotaro Boy]] has an unhealthy obsession with ''himself''. In the original audio, [[Yukari Tamura]] provides the voice of Rozalin, and Hiro Shimono voices Taro.
* ''[[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]]'' has Salvatore and the returning Etna both voiced by Michelle Ruff.
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]]'', one actor performs every character of the same race and gender, sometimes doubling up, and they rarely try to change it up by character. If you hear a female wood elf and a female dunmer talking to one another, they sound like the exact same person, sometimes repeating bits of the same conversation back and forth. The exception is the characters voiced by Patrick Stewart, Terence Stamp and Sean Bean. This is mainly due to the rumour function, which is randomised. If the actors gave each character distinct vocal traits, they'd have to re-record the rumours hundreds of times more. This is exemplified with the beggar in Bruma who actually does sound weak and decrepit, but switches to upbeat and healthy as soon as you ask about the weather.
Line 464:
* Even if the voice-acting is minimalistic to barely existent, in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker]]'', Link's voice (consisting of battle-cries, screams of agony and surprise, a "Hey!" and a rarely used "come on!") is done by the same woman who does his sister Aryll's voice (consisting of screams of fear, some giggles and a loud "Ooooooy!!!")
* The [[Good Angel, Bad Angel|consciences]] in ''[[Black and White]]'' are voiced by the same actor, and frequently disagree between eachother on what the player should do in any situation. This is lampshaded in the downloadable outtakes, where the voice actor gradually morphs his voice from the good conscience's to the bad one's and back, in the middle of a conversation between the two.
* The ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' series manages to avert this for most part, even though many of the voice actors in both, the Japanese and English versions, voiced various different characters thorough the games. A notable exception in which this trope is played straight is in the Japanese version of ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'', in which Akio Ohtsuka played both Solid and Solidus Snake.
** Notably averted in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots|Guns of the Patriots]]'', where {{spoiler|Big Boss has a new voice actor to avoid having the big payoff of the entire series wind up as a conversation between David Hayter and David Hayter}}.
* ''[[Legacy of Kain]]''
** Michael Bell is Raziel, and occasional minor roles, like the first of Raziel's brothers he kills in ''Soul Reaver.'' Bell being a [[Man of a Thousand Voices]], it's hard to tell without knowing beforehand. This happens ''literally'' in ''Soul Reaver 2'' when two versions of Raziel from different time periods meet.
Line 510:
* In the ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]] 2'' games, Hikari Tachibana voices both of [[Different As Night and Day|the Shirayuki]] [[Twin Switch|twin sisters]], and as such this trope applies in the few scenes where [[Theme Twin Naming|Miho and Maho]] are together and talking to each other.
* Like ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'', the ''[[Gundam]]'' crossover games (including ''[[SD Gundam G Generation]]'' and the [[Gundam vs. Series]]) have this as a result of combining characters from over 30 years worth of animation. ''Gundam vs Gundam Next Plus'' [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] it: if you partner [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny|Mu La Flaga]] with [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Zechs Merquise, Milliardo Peacecraft]], or [[Turn a Gundam (Anime)|Gym Ghingham]] (all [[Takehito Koyasu]] characters), Mu will say "Looks like I've - I mean ''we've'' got a lot of work ahead!"
* The 2009 edition of ''[[Punch
* ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' has a lot of this. Just to name a few, we have Harumi Ikoma as King, Blue Mary and Yuri; Monster Maezuka as Benimaru Nikaido, Choi Bounge and Ralf Jones; and Haruna Ikezawa as Athena, Foxy and Diana.
* Marc Graue voiced everyone in ''[[Hotel Mario]]'' except for Princess Peach.
