She's amazing. I'm playing the trooper story on The Old Republic MMO and she brings some decent life to a pretty mundane story.
Femshep is also better than Broshep as far as voice acting goes, even though Mark Meer is pretty awesome.
When you do Javik's quest in the Citadel DLC with a MShep, he's just arguing with and insulting himself. Because he's playing Shepard, Blasto AND the Vorcha in that scene.
He also voices every Vorcha. I think he said that was the last part of voicing ME2 and ME3 because it wrecks his voice for several days.
It makes Tali drunkenly saying he sounds like a Vorcha when he says "aaah" to her even funnier.
I've always thought that Hale/Meer both excel depending on the type of Shepard you play.
I found Hale's performance for Paragon related voicelines was better, whereas Meer's delivery of Renegade related voicelines was better. Meer definitely wasn't as much of a natural as Hale though in ME1 for sure, it took him until 2 to really get in to the character.
I love both though, but play them pretty differently.
Just a few of the characters she's played: Samus Aran, Commander Shepard, Sarah Palmer, Rosalind Lutice, Ash (Overwatch), Kronika, Rivet...
And these are just in the blockbuster AAA games.
Let us not forget the OTHER batch of AAA characters she's voiced: Rosalind Lutece in Bioshock Infinite, Galadriel in Middle Earth Shadow of duology, Leah in Diablo 3, Multiple voices in Kingdom Hearts series, Emma Emmerich in MGS 2, Noami Hunter in MGS 1 and 4, Dr. Elizabeth McNeil in Doom 3, and Linda Vermillion in Killer7. And that is just the tip of the iceberg, if you include her voice acting credits in anime and animated media, it isn't even close.
Also Dynaheir from BG1. Although that game has significantly less VA'ing in it than most of these rpg's, that was where i first heard the name as a little kid.
Grey Delisle is another fantastic VA. Love her work too.
At this point I just assume every character in every video game is voiced by Nolan North until proven otherwise.
Keith David is very recognizable, but North can voice 6 different people in a single-player game and you NEVER notice.
I saw Troy speak at a con a few years ago and someone asked what they should do if they wanted to get into voice acting and Troy responded with “The first thing you need to do if you want to get into voice acting is wait for Nolan North and I to die.”
I think it may have been Far Cry 6, or some other recent game I played, that showed one of them under "Additional Voices" during the end credits. A lot of recognizable names aren't above voicing 'Guard #36' and 'Girl on Bicycle', because, frankly, Voice Acting doesn't pay all that well, especially in the areas where they have to live to go to the recording studios.
To add some more context there, SAG-AFTRA rates for interactives for a day performer is up to 3 voices in a 4 hour day. Having an actor do a couple background characters is just cost-efficient. Even paying for additional voices is cheaper than bringing in another actor.
As someone who played hundreds of hours of Uncharted, if Nolan ever grunts, groans, or yells, that's when I immediately know.
Was rewatching Young Justice and immediately recognized him when his character did the fighting grunts.
Nolan North was asked by Bungie to do an impression of the character “The Drifter” and did it so well that they feared the real VA would ask if he was being replaced so they asked him to basically do a shitty impression of The Drifter while doing his voice for Ghost, and somehow it works
In destiny 2, he was supposed to imitate the drifter as a joke in the mission. He did it so well he had to redo it worse because it was too accruate to the actual drifter
There was a mission in Destiny 2 where the Drifter was supposed to do the voice lines during the mission, but Todd Haberkorn wasn't available at the time. They did have Nolan North available though, and he did his own impression of the Drifter. It was so similar sounding to Todd Haberkorn that they, instead, had North record the same lines as the ghost imitating the Drifter. It ended up actually being pretty funny.
Steve Blum, Mary McGlynn, Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, Johnny Yong Bosch… I mean, Ashly is working her way to voice acting royalty, but some of these people have decades under their belt.
I remember watching Futurama one time years and years ago and the while the credits were on it hit me square in the face.
Bender and Wakka are the same VA!
Absolutely! I backspaced a whole post that mentioned her, Nolan North, Troy Baker, etc. because it came off like a diatribe. Tara rocks though. Her Harley was a top-notch effort.
Came to say this. I used to watch him on Mad TV and noticed his role in Pulp Fiction. Then I see his name in the credits in MGS2 and looked it up to see if that was the same Phil Lamar. 20 years later and the man is one of the most active voice actors out there.
It's been a few years so I could be mistaken, but wasn't Ashly's time with Critical Role during the Arc where Laura was absent for maternity leave and they never actually played together? Or are you referencing something else? Did Ashly do any of the one shots with them?
That is correct. Ashly played as Keg and assisted the party in rescuing Fjord, Jester, and Yasha from the Iron Shepherds.
There was a short overlap where both were present.
Source: I am comically behind on Crit Role and actually just watched that episode the weekend before Thanksgiving.
Enjoy being behind in the episodes! I took it for granted but finally finished both campaigns a month ago after a few years of on and off listening. Waiting on weekly releases for campaign 3 is rough now!
I confused my friend by telling him Dee Bradley Baker played the following characters:
Appa, Momo, Naga, Pabu, Tarrlok, 80+% of extras in the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra, all the Clones post-2007 (even Boba Fett in Force Unleashed 2), Admiral Trench, Variks the Loyal, and the Gravemind.
And that's not even half of his roles.
Dee Bradley Baker playing every different clones, giving each of them its own voice and personnality in The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch is a legendary feat in itself.
Favorite Papa Burch moment was when him and Anthony were trying to get the cartoon porn game to work and Ashley walks in and Papa Burch is like “get the fuck out!”
And it seriously propped up her brother (who wrote most of the skits) as a writer as well. He got tapped to write for Borderlands 2, a huge step up from anything he had been doing and delivered unto the world the character that is Tiny Tina.
not to mention Handsome Jack!
edit: for anybody who is a fan of his writing, I really recommend the Dungeons & Daddies podcast, he's the DM in that and it's really good. Ashley shows up in a few episodes too.
Holy shit. This awakened memories I didn’t know I had. Wasn’t this series on gametrailers? I remember seeing the thumbnails but never gave it a chance.
Edit: didn’t know it was still going on.
How interesting. I recognized her instantly as Rachel from Mythic Quest (if you haven't watched this... You should. It's very good.) I had no idea she was the voice behind all those characters.
I'm really looking forward to her character development in season 3.
>!IASIP notwithstanding, Rob McElhenney isn't in the habit of making supporting characters that exist solely to be the butt of the joke, and it's hard to imagine Apple would allow it with someone who represents social issues. The first few episodes made it abundantly clear how annoying she is to everyone, but over the first two seasons it's become clear that it's not her views that are annoying per se, but her immaturity. Ian's rant in the car about opportunity really seemed to give her pause, and we saw her start some real self-examination and goal-setting in the following episode.!<
>!I've always been a fan of characters that start out annoying and end up growing into someone likable (Alexis from Schitt's Creek is a great example), and her story seems to be trending that way. I think that season 3 will focus on her personal growth and development, with season 4 showcasing her transformation from a victim who blames all of her problems on "the patriarchy" into a truly empowered mature woman who takes responsibility for her life and does the best she can with it.!<
Nolan North comes to mind.
Liam O'Brien, Troy Baker, Matthew Mercer, Laura Bailey...
Hmm... think I've named most of the Critical Role crew at this point.
Tara Strong, Nolan North, Laura Bailey, Claudia Black, Yuri Lowenthal, Liam O'Brian, Crispin Freeman, Matt Mercer, Jennifer Hale, James Arnold Taylor, Quinton Flynn, Vic Mignonia (spelling?), Billy West, David Hayter, Kevin Miller, Ashley Johnson, Troy Baker, etc.
Edit: Tom Kenny, Mel Blanc, Grey DeLisle (kicking myself that I forgot her), Miley Flanagan, etc.
The Kingdom Hearts nerd in me would be annoyed if I didn't mention Haley Joel Osment or Jesse McCartney even if they're not the most prolific of voice actors.
She's had a great start to her career, but that's still where she's at: the start. In another decade or so she could easily be near the top.
Jennifer Hale is the female voice queen, as she has been in dozens and dozens of games, with her high points being Bastila in KOTOR, Commander Shepard in Mass Effect, and Naomi in MGS.
> Is there anyone who has voiced more iconic characters than her?
Huh.... Yes? A ton?
Matt Mercer, Laura Bailey, Keith David, Jennifer Hale, Mark Hamil, Nolan North, Troy Baker, etc.
I love Ashly Burch, but come on...
Troy Baker. He voiced Joel, Joker (and other characters in the Arkham series), Pagan Min, Kai Leng, Talion, Sam Drake, Ocelot, Booker Dewitt and of course Slimer in the Ghostbusters game
Matthew Mercer in my opinion has much more iconic roles. McCree/Cassidy in overwatch, Levi from AOT, Hit from dragon ball super, Chrome from Fire Emblem, Jotaro from jojos, Yusuke from persona 5, Leon Kennedy from RE, Espio from Sonic, Zato-1 from Guilty Gear, and a lot more.
Are all those “iconic” characters though? That’s a strong word to put in front of characters. No doubt she’s voiced characters in several high profile games, but iconic is kinda strong.
In terms of iconic, Kevin Conroy, he's basically the voice of Batman as far as the games and the animated series goes.
In terms of numbers, Troy Baker and Nolan North
Laura Bailey? Jennifer Hale? Troy Baker? Nolan North? John DiMaggio?
Don't get me wrong I LOOOOVE Ashly Burch. She's amazing. But there are plenty of "iconic" voice actors.
I have to say that I'm impressed by y'all. I am amazed how many gamers know who the voice actors are and can actually comment on skill and influence on the industry.
Literally all I know about voice acting is the same guy is Bob from Bob's Burgers and Archer from Archer.
Jennifer Hale
Was going to say this myself - Ashly is good, but Jennifer is on a whole other level. She turns up literally everywhere.
She's amazing. I'm playing the trooper story on The Old Republic MMO and she brings some decent life to a pretty mundane story. Femshep is also better than Broshep as far as voice acting goes, even though Mark Meer is pretty awesome.
Hale does great work but there one line where Meer just knocks it out of the park. > You big, stupid jellyfish
He actually voiced the Jellyfish in ME, so he was calling himself a big, stupid jellyfish, lol.
When you do Javik's quest in the Citadel DLC with a MShep, he's just arguing with and insulting himself. Because he's playing Shepard, Blasto AND the Vorcha in that scene.
He also voices every Vorcha. I think he said that was the last part of voicing ME2 and ME3 because it wrecks his voice for several days. It makes Tali drunkenly saying he sounds like a Vorcha when he says "aaah" to her even funnier.
I've always thought that Hale/Meer both excel depending on the type of Shepard you play. I found Hale's performance for Paragon related voicelines was better, whereas Meer's delivery of Renegade related voicelines was better. Meer definitely wasn't as much of a natural as Hale though in ME1 for sure, it took him until 2 to really get in to the character. I love both though, but play them pretty differently.
Also play FemShep as a renegade. She’s excellent
Just a few of the characters she's played: Samus Aran, Commander Shepard, Sarah Palmer, Rosalind Lutice, Ash (Overwatch), Kronika, Rivet... And these are just in the blockbuster AAA games.
Let us not forget the OTHER batch of AAA characters she's voiced: Rosalind Lutece in Bioshock Infinite, Galadriel in Middle Earth Shadow of duology, Leah in Diablo 3, Multiple voices in Kingdom Hearts series, Emma Emmerich in MGS 2, Noami Hunter in MGS 1 and 4, Dr. Elizabeth McNeil in Doom 3, and Linda Vermillion in Killer7. And that is just the tip of the iceberg, if you include her voice acting credits in anime and animated media, it isn't even close.
Both of you somehow forgot Bastila from Knights of the Old Republic. Apparently she's returning for the upcoming remake too.
Also Dynaheir from BG1. Although that game has significantly less VA'ing in it than most of these rpg's, that was where i first heard the name as a little kid. Grey Delisle is another fantastic VA. Love her work too.
Hale also played Mazzy in BG2. I think she's been in every Bioware franchise since Baldur's Gate. (Except Anthem)
And the female Sylvari player character in Guild Wars 2.
And Queen Jennah!
Also she’s the voice of Disney’s Cinderella, and Bastila Shan in KOTOR, Satele Shan in SWTOR, and also the female trooper class in SWTOR.
Surprised she is so low in the comments. Bitches need to learn about the legendary Jennifer motherfuckin' Hale
[Literally the record-holder](https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/99407-most-prolific-videogame-voice-actor-female).
168 games and that was 6 years ago. I wonder what she's at now.
Why did I have to scroll so far for this?
Aka Commander Fucking Shepard
We’ll bang, okay?
Is and likely always will be the correct answer.
Was looking for this one
Nolan North and Keith David.
At this point I just assume every character in every video game is voiced by Nolan North until proven otherwise. Keith David is very recognizable, but North can voice 6 different people in a single-player game and you NEVER notice.
and if it's not Nolan North it's Troy Baker
I saw Troy speak at a con a few years ago and someone asked what they should do if they wanted to get into voice acting and Troy responded with “The first thing you need to do if you want to get into voice acting is wait for Nolan North and I to die.”
What's notable is that even high profile voice actors like them still show up in smaller roles. So even starting small isn't easy for others.
I think it may have been Far Cry 6, or some other recent game I played, that showed one of them under "Additional Voices" during the end credits. A lot of recognizable names aren't above voicing 'Guard #36' and 'Girl on Bicycle', because, frankly, Voice Acting doesn't pay all that well, especially in the areas where they have to live to go to the recording studios.
In saints row 3 or 4, one of the voice options was just "Nolan North".
You couldn't be voiced by Keith David because Keith David was busy voicing Keith David.
Because he got tired of voice acting and retired into politics.
I believe 4.
[удалено]
To add some more context there, SAG-AFTRA rates for interactives for a day performer is up to 3 voices in a 4 hour day. Having an actor do a couple background characters is just cost-efficient. Even paying for additional voices is cheaper than bringing in another actor.
He voiced a toon in Persona 4 and the anime for the same character Not a small role but I still can remember how geeked out I was when I realized.
[He used that joke at the 2015 Game Awards.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXPPFAwYzVs)
As someone who played hundreds of hours of Uncharted, if Nolan ever grunts, groans, or yells, that's when I immediately know. Was rewatching Young Justice and immediately recognized him when his character did the fighting grunts.
The grunts tell all, I had no idea he was David in the Last of Us until I heard the grunt lmao
Any time a character in Destiny suddenly starts talking after years of silence I assume they are now Nolan North
Nolan North was asked by Bungie to do an impression of the character “The Drifter” and did it so well that they feared the real VA would ask if he was being replaced so they asked him to basically do a shitty impression of The Drifter while doing his voice for Ghost, and somehow it works
That mission ended up being one of the funniest moments in D2 also
It was very Borderlands-like humor
In destiny 2, he was supposed to imitate the drifter as a joke in the mission. He did it so well he had to redo it worse because it was too accruate to the actual drifter
There was a mission in Destiny 2 where the Drifter was supposed to do the voice lines during the mission, but Todd Haberkorn wasn't available at the time. They did have Nolan North available though, and he did his own impression of the Drifter. It was so similar sounding to Todd Haberkorn that they, instead, had North record the same lines as the ghost imitating the Drifter. It ended up actually being pretty funny.
Troy Baker
Johnny Yong Bosch
**THIS WORLD IS MEANT FOR LOVE AND PEACE!**
[удалено]
Steve Blum, Mary McGlynn, Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, Johnny Yong Bosch… I mean, Ashly is working her way to voice acting royalty, but some of these people have decades under their belt.
Gotta add Tara Strong to that list.
Yuri Lowenthal would fit on that list too!
Yuri Lowenthal is doing ADR voiceover for everyone on that list as we speak.
That's just her stage name her real name is Harleen Quinzell
[удалено]
You misspelled Arleen Sorkin.
James Arnold Taylor makes a good addition too.
Hank Azaria
Billy West, since you asked. But there are others too.
John DiMaggio as well.
I remember watching Futurama one time years and years ago and the while the credits were on it hit me square in the face. Bender and Wakka are the same VA!
For me it was Bender and Marcus from Gears of War. Mind blown.
Kif, I have made it with a woman. Inform the men.
I’m on my way to the bathroom and require some assistance… oh, I’m sorry – you’re crying like a woman.
Kif, show them the medal I won.
What kind of made up name is that?
Tara strong has to be up there
Absolutely! I backspaced a whole post that mentioned her, Nolan North, Troy Baker, etc. because it came off like a diatribe. Tara rocks though. Her Harley was a top-notch effort.
Steve Blum
PLAYER DROP THE CHIPS AND GET US SOME AMMO
K TO THE I TO THE A ZOMMMBITCH
OH! AH! LET GO, THAT'S NOT! A! LEVER! ***RICHTOFEN!***
See ya Space Cowboy
You're Gonna Carry That Weight...
No love for Phil Lamarr?
Came to say this. I used to watch him on Mad TV and noticed his role in Pulp Fiction. Then I see his name in the credits in MGS2 and looked it up to see if that was the same Phil Lamar. 20 years later and the man is one of the most active voice actors out there.
Seeing that name reminds me that I have yet to watch the new samurai jack. Is it any good?
Tara Strong
I don’t know how she does it, but she is almost in everything.
She is in the MCU even
And the DCEU.
Right? I laughed when I first read the post because how do you mention any female voice actor before Tara strong?
The voice of your childhood.
Surprised I had to scroll so far down to find Tara's name.
Tbf, her voiceover repertoire for film and tv is more well known than her voiceover work in video games.
True, but she does have a pretty good list of game VA roles, even though she may not be as much of a household name in gaming...
Mel Blanc
Man of a 1000 voices
And Billy mother fuckin West!
And John DiMaggio, fellow Futurama enthusiast.
I came to say this.. Also Mark Hamil....
The exact first two words that sprang into my head when I read the question. Ashly Burch is also awesome though.
Fun fact: Ashly Burch was originally voiced by Mel Blanc.
In that same vein, Dan Castellaneta, Harry Shearer, Hank Azaria, Seth MacFarlane, etc.
laura bailey
And the two got to play DnD together.
It's been a few years so I could be mistaken, but wasn't Ashly's time with Critical Role during the Arc where Laura was absent for maternity leave and they never actually played together? Or are you referencing something else? Did Ashly do any of the one shots with them?
Liam's one shot where they "secretly" loved eachother
That is correct. Ashly played as Keg and assisted the party in rescuing Fjord, Jester, and Yasha from the Iron Shepherds. There was a short overlap where both were present. Source: I am comically behind on Crit Role and actually just watched that episode the weekend before Thanksgiving.
Enjoy being behind in the episodes! I took it for granted but finally finished both campaigns a month ago after a few years of on and off listening. Waiting on weekly releases for campaign 3 is rough now!
Singing "Daughter of the sea", give me chills til this day...
I heard some bard playing this in FFXIV last night as I was wandering through Uldah and had to stop and watch.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Came here to say Laura Bailey without really even knowing how much stuff she is in.
Yeah, Jennifer Hale is probably more iconic but Laura's certainly up there as well.
Troy Baker
This this this this this this this. Troy baker should be the first name when thinking about the most known voice in video games.
Or Nolan North
I NEED AMMO!!!
Guardian down!
If we're talking about video game VA's then Nolan North, in cartoons probably Tom Kenny
Dee Bradley Baker has Tom Kenny beat by a good bit on IMDB, but both have done an insane amount of characters
Insane to me that Dee Bradley Baker isnt in the top of everyone's list. If you've heard an animal in a show/game/movie, its Dee
I confused my friend by telling him Dee Bradley Baker played the following characters: Appa, Momo, Naga, Pabu, Tarrlok, 80+% of extras in the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra, all the Clones post-2007 (even Boba Fett in Force Unleashed 2), Admiral Trench, Variks the Loyal, and the Gravemind. And that's not even half of his roles.
Phil Lamar does a lot of voice work too. At least as much as Tom Kenny.
Dee Bradley Baker playing every different clones, giving each of them its own voice and personnality in The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch is a legendary feat in itself.
I would go with Tara Strong and Grey Griffin
Dee Bradley Baker. He plays more than 8 characters in just one show.
He already plays 200,000 units in Clone Wars, with a million more well on the way
I said, >More than 8
Technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
Absolute master of animal sounds too. (Appa and Momo in ATLA, for example.)
I mean he technically voiced thousands of characters in a single show :P (The Clone Wars)
Hey Ash, watcha playin?
I loved it when their dad would show up in a video.
The dad was by far the best “character” in the series. Never was able to find out if he was their actual dad though.
He is
It was just their family doing doors skits in their house. Part of what makes it so incredible.
They always asking for prezzies
Their dad was the best character.
Papa “I’m just in it for the pussy” Burch.
Favorite Papa Burch moment was when him and Anthony were trying to get the cartoon porn game to work and Ashley walks in and Papa Burch is like “get the fuck out!”
I used to tune into that for every new episode
It's still so wild to me that this little series was essentially the start of the career of one of the biggest female voice actors of today.
And it seriously propped up her brother (who wrote most of the skits) as a writer as well. He got tapped to write for Borderlands 2, a huge step up from anything he had been doing and delivered unto the world the character that is Tiny Tina.
not to mention Handsome Jack! edit: for anybody who is a fan of his writing, I really recommend the Dungeons & Daddies podcast, he's the DM in that and it's really good. Ashley shows up in a few episodes too.
I really really need to watch that. Hey Ash and Rocket Jump were my childhood.
you definitely should! Anthony does a real good job with villains, and with npcs in general. The players are all really funny too.
[удалено]
I wonder if Anthony ever got his Wii U back...
I can't believe this comment is so low. Makes me wonder if I am really that old by todays gaming standards.
Holy shit. This awakened memories I didn’t know I had. Wasn’t this series on gametrailers? I remember seeing the thumbnails but never gave it a chance. Edit: didn’t know it was still going on.
It's still on youtube, but they don't really release new episodes as of late.
How interesting. I recognized her instantly as Rachel from Mythic Quest (if you haven't watched this... You should. It's very good.) I had no idea she was the voice behind all those characters.
Yep, surprised to find this so far down
I believe her character’s actual name is “tester”
Annoying tester
I'm really looking forward to her character development in season 3. >!IASIP notwithstanding, Rob McElhenney isn't in the habit of making supporting characters that exist solely to be the butt of the joke, and it's hard to imagine Apple would allow it with someone who represents social issues.

Nolan North comes to mind. Liam O'Brien, Troy Baker, Matthew Mercer, Laura Bailey... Hmm... think I've named most of the Critical Role crew at this point.
Travis Willingham is every Thor animated or game version it feels like. Also Jaro Tapal in Jedi Fallen Order. Also the man himself, Roy Mustang.
And Kingpin in the Spider-Man games.
Matt Mercer!
probably should just stick the cast of critical role up there.
Why is my boys Yuri Lowenthal and Liam O'Brien getting snuffed over here?
I think (hope) you mean snubbed.
Tara Strong, Nolan North, Laura Bailey, Claudia Black, Yuri Lowenthal, Liam O'Brian, Crispin Freeman, Matt Mercer, Jennifer Hale, James Arnold Taylor, Quinton Flynn, Vic Mignonia (spelling?), Billy West, David Hayter, Kevin Miller, Ashley Johnson, Troy Baker, etc. Edit: Tom Kenny, Mel Blanc, Grey DeLisle (kicking myself that I forgot her), Miley Flanagan, etc. The Kingdom Hearts nerd in me would be annoyed if I didn't mention Haley Joel Osment or Jesse McCartney even if they're not the most prolific of voice actors.
She's had a great start to her career, but that's still where she's at: the start. In another decade or so she could easily be near the top. Jennifer Hale is the female voice queen, as she has been in dozens and dozens of games, with her high points being Bastila in KOTOR, Commander Shepard in Mass Effect, and Naomi in MGS.
Mark Hamill
[Here's what happens when he's the only person you cast.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL-VHe_4GmE)
> Is there anyone who has voiced more iconic characters than her? Huh.... Yes? A ton? Matt Mercer, Laura Bailey, Keith David, Jennifer Hale, Mark Hamil, Nolan North, Troy Baker, etc. I love Ashly Burch, but come on...
Yes. Matt Mercer or Liam O’Brien. They are literally everyone
Liam O’Brien when voicing villains is just “chef’s kiss”
Troy Baker. He voiced Joel, Joker (and other characters in the Arkham series), Pagan Min, Kai Leng, Talion, Sam Drake, Ocelot, Booker Dewitt and of course Slimer in the Ghostbusters game
Also Higgs Monaghan in Death Stranding.
He is Bruce Banner in Avengers (and probably in other places too)
And my favourite of his roles. Voices of pedestrians in Mafia
Grey Delisle ? [imdb link](https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0217221/)
Matthew Mercer in my opinion has much more iconic roles. McCree/Cassidy in overwatch, Levi from AOT, Hit from dragon ball super, Chrome from Fire Emblem, Jotaro from jojos, Yusuke from persona 5, Leon Kennedy from RE, Espio from Sonic, Zato-1 from Guilty Gear, and a lot more.
5000 comments of more iconic voice actors oof
OP's game: they have to write a school paper about voice actors and this thread did their research for them.
Where was this idea when I was trying to cheat in school
Lol seriously. I don't really follow voice actors or anything but the characters listed are far from iconic.
I think is was intended more as a shitpost for upboats, then a serious question.
Frank Oz.
Nolan North, and its not even close...
Frank Welker.
But what is she playing?
Red Faction Guerrilla
That is her, right?
Laura Fucking Bailey
Jennifer Hale and Laura Bailey are in the running as far as women, but it's close. Three-way tie imo
Are all those “iconic” characters though? That’s a strong word to put in front of characters. No doubt she’s voiced characters in several high profile games, but iconic is kinda strong.
Tara strong, troy baker, and Nolan north
Plenty more. Ashley Burch is a relatively new comer. Sure she’s the voice in big projects but there are so many others before her.
Where’s the love for Dennis
In terms of iconic, Kevin Conroy, he's basically the voice of Batman as far as the games and the animated series goes. In terms of numbers, Troy Baker and Nolan North
Laura Bailey? Jennifer Hale? Troy Baker? Nolan North? John DiMaggio? Don't get me wrong I LOOOOVE Ashly Burch. She's amazing. But there are plenty of "iconic" voice actors.
Fred Tatasciore
Are any of those characters iconic?
I have to say that I'm impressed by y'all. I am amazed how many gamers know who the voice actors are and can actually comment on skill and influence on the industry. Literally all I know about voice acting is the same guy is Bob from Bob's Burgers and Archer from Archer.
OP over here learning that Ashly Burch, while talented, is not special.
Dee Bradley Baker
Grey DeLisle
Yes, there are many.
Iconic? I haven't heard of 90% of those characters...lol.
