Line 15:
In Live-Action this can be difficult, which requires split screen or otherwise splitting the image. This requires perfect synchronization between the different takes. Normally, the camera is stationary for this, but ''[[Back to The Future]] Part 2'' pioneered a motion controlled camera that allows for complex panning shots that have the same actor in multiple roles.
 
Not to be confused with [[Adventure Narrator Syndrome]], [[Sounding It Out]], [[Thinking Out Loud]] or [[TalkingInner to ThemselfDialogue]]. Compare [[Holding Both Sides of the Conversation]], which is an in-universe example of this trope, where a character is pretending to hold a conversation with another non-present (or non-existent) character, in order to maintain some kind of charade. Compare also [[Solo Duet]], which is when one singer performs both sides of a duet.

Line 568:
** [[Peter Cullen]] played both Optimus Prime and his right hand man, Ironhide (meaning that he's talking to himself in the first post-credits scene of the 1986 movie). [[Frank Welker]] voiced Megatron, Soundwave and most of the first-year Decepticons aside from Starscream. This is perfectly demonstrated in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQWWG1r2e7k this clip], in which he voices all the Decepticons.
** Daniel Riordan was both Optimus Prime (well, his combined form, anyway) and ''Megatron'' in ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise]]''.
** In ''[[Transformers Animated|Animated]]'', David Kaye is Prime, Grimlock, Lugnut, and Highbrow. Jeff Bennett is Prowl, Ultra Magnus, Captain Fanzone, Soundwave, Angry Archer, and Mixmaster. Bumper Robinson is Bumblebee, Porter C. Powell, Blackout, and does ''three'' voices for Blitzwing, whose [[Split Personalities|Split Personality]] occasionally [[TalkingInner to ThemselfDialogue|talk amongst themselves]]. Tom Kenny is Starscream ({{spoiler|as well as all of the [[Me's a Crowd|Starscream clones]] except the [[Opposite Gender Clone|female one]]}}), Isaac Sumdac, Scrapper, Wasp, and Jetfire. Corey Burton is Megatron, Ratchet, Shockwave (reprised from G1), Longarm Prime ({{spoiler|who ''is'' Shockwave but has a slightly different voice}}), Colossus Rhodes, Ironhide, and [[Yuppie Couple|Spike]]. Besides Sari, Tara Strong is pretty much every female and child except Blackarachnia, Arcee, and a brief appearance by Flareup. Bill Fagerbakke is Bulkhead and Hot Shot. While he only voiced Jazz for the first two seasons, in the third Phil LaMarr is also Oil Slick, Jetstorm, and [[The Other Darrin|replaces]] Kevin Michael Richardson as Omega Supreme. Most of them also do a few minor characters. Come to think of it, ''Animated'' has this at least as bad as the original did.
*** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in a script-reading called ''Bee In The City'', which had Bumblebee suggest to ''[[Beast Wars]]'' Megatron (also voiced by David Kaye, who was doing Prime in the same reading) that they try to get help from Lugnut or Grimlock. Megatron responded, "Who do I look like, Scott McNeil?"
* [[Billy West]] has an exceptional range, playing four [[recurrer]]s on ''[[Futurama]]'' (Fry, Farnsworth, Zapp Brannigan, President [[Richard Nixon]]'s head, [[My Friends and Zoidberg|and Zoidberg]]), as well as both Ren and Stimpy from ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'' (after Ren's original voice actor, John Kricfalusi, was fired from Nickelodeon) and also playing the modern versions of most of the characters Mel Blanc was known for. Hell, Billy can do things with his voice that normally require electronic alteration to achieve.
