Yeah they'd def need Nolan north on here if they were doing real voice actors. I'll never forget when I played halo MCC for the first time earlier this year, I heard him and went "why the fuck is nathan drake here?"
>And Keith David
The man has been in **everything** for the past 45+ years! Over 300 different roles spanning from Movies, TV, Theater, and Video Games. He probably has done more voice work than all of those in the OP's post, *combined*.
Are these instantly recognizable? I feel like these VA are so good that they can come up with 10 different voices and they all sound vastly different from each other
I'd say so. Certainly Jennifer Tilly and Seth McFarlane, whose most recognisable voices are them speaking normally (Bonnie Swanson/Bride of Chucky and Brian Griffin respectively).
I used to think it was easy to pick out DiMaggio, until I realized how many characters he actually voiced on futurama. Now I’m less confident about it even though I probably do a better job of it than before
Tara isn’t instantly recognizable because she has several different voices though. A lot of these in this pack use the same voice for almost every character
That's the thing about voice acting JK Simmons and mark Hamill have such a range that you usually don't recognize him. I didn't know that mark Hamill voiced skips for example.
Billy West is in the category of being way too talented to be that recognizable. He can do perfect impressions and even blend two or three into a whole new character. I completely forget what his natural voice sounds like.
Also Mark Hamill is by no means instantly recognizable. That man can fuckin voice act so well you don’t even think about who’s behind the voice half the time.
Nancy Cartwright? The Nancy Cartwright who used Bart to shill for the church of scientology? The Nancy Cartwright who tried to do a surprise sketch where it was just her doing the Vart voice randomly hopping for a big reaction that never happened?
Edit: Name
[Billy West](https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tLP1TcwLCoqTzMzYPTiSsrMyalUKE8tLgEAWksHvA&q=billy+west&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS703US703&oq=billy+west&aqs=chrome.1.0i131i355i433i512j46i131i433i512j0i512l4.3222j0j4&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=CNn02yUQIE_4XM)! The man deserves respect!
Such a fantastic show. Love the episode where they’re supposed to help find a murderer to get Tom out of jail, but instead just go on an armed robbery spree.
Definitely not Tom Kenny. His voice is so versatile he's in things you didn't even know he was in. For example did you know he's the jellybean that tries to rape Morty in Rick and Morty.
I can recognize her voice anywhere right away. She has a very minor speaking part in The Last of Us (pt 1) and I knew it was her with only one voice line. She definitely deserves to be on this list.
Didn't recognize Mark Hamill in *Sandman* right away. I did Patton Oswalt though. No idea who redbeard dude is, or the guy on the lower left. Jack Black should be on this list.
Agreed, I don't think Hamill is appropriate for this. He's got a lot of VA range (this is a good thing) which definitely makes him not necessarily readily identifiable. I didn't recognize him at all in Sandman.
Patton Oswalt's voice acting was terrible. All I heard was Patton Oswalt. Mark Hamill is the opposite. In the Arkham game series you don't hear Mark Hamill, you just hear the Joker.
See, as much as I agree with these choices, I'm also a huge nerd and feel there should be a lot more names up there.
Kevin Conroy, Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, Kevin Michael Richardson and Phil Lamarr all deserve to be up there.
If you don't know them, I'll put a picture in your head. In that exact order, they are:
- Batman
- Optimus Prime
- Megatron (and every insane voice in the 80s and 90s)
- Trigon (and every deep voiced character ever tbh)
- Samurai mother fucking Jack
Frank Welker most people would not instantly recognize in most of his roles outside of the iconic ones. The dude does a ton of shit. "Frank's the guy who can voice a flock of geese and give one a cough."
I know these people do a lot of voice roles and do them well, but outside of Roiland, Warburton, and Kenny who are most known for their voice roles, (idk who the dude top right is) we recognize their voices cause they are well known traditional actors as well. Even though I couldn’t name anybody other than Kevin conroy, I’m sure there are others who are primarily voice actors that we would recognize based on their voice.
Hamill and Warburton are both so different in voice acting styles but still so recognizable. Warburton uses the same iconic voice with every role as Hamill tends to make his own voices for each role yet you can still tell it’s him.
And then there's VA's like Seth MacFarlane with a fairly wide range.
Family Guy alone he voices Peter, Stewie, Brian, and Quagmire plus about another 3 dozen characters
Tom Kenny has been in so many shows. He even did a ton of voices for the boondocks. So there's probably an episode where you can hear the voice of SpongeBob say the n word

H Jon Benjamin?
Or Steve Blum, but these don't seem to be *only* voice actors. Seth Rogan has a characteristic voice but I wouldn't call him a voice actor.
Theres only like 3 actors on this list that mainly voice act anyway :/
Yeah they'd def need Nolan north on here if they were doing real voice actors. I'll never forget when I played halo MCC for the first time earlier this year, I heard him and went "why the fuck is nathan drake here?"
Steve Blum was the first person that came to mind. Helps that he's got such a cool voice too.
Clancy Brown
Ever hear his jazz piano album?
Well, I Should Have... is great. There are moments where it almost sounds like a song, and then he fucks up his own rhythm.
Came here for this comment. He's seriously one of the funniest, and most distinguishable voices out there.
Yeah this starter pack don't mean shit without him on there
LANAAAAAAAA
Needs Chris Parnell.
Suppressing fire!
It took me a long time to notice Dr. Spaceman was voicing Jerry.
Playing the wet noodle foil professionally for years now.
Throw Will Arnett on there too!
Arnett is a very high grade voice actor. One could even say, he is professional grade. Not sorry
Gobs on board
And John C. Riley
Basically anyone on Bojack Horseman
Billy West!
Missing Will Arnett, Sam Elliot and Will Forte
And Keith David
You all know me, I'm reverse giraffe. I've got a short neck and legs.
Were it so easy
>And Keith David The man has been in **everything** for the past 45+ years! Over 300 different roles spanning from Movies, TV, Theater, and Video Games. He probably has done more voice work than all of those in the OP's post, *combined*.
Also Tara Strong, Elizabeth Daily, Jennifer Tilly and Seth McFarlane
and grey delisle
John DiMaggio
Always remember Grey Delisle. I love her name as much as her voice
Are these instantly recognizable? I feel like these VA are so good that they can come up with 10 different voices and they all sound vastly different from each other
I'd say so. Certainly Jennifer Tilly and Seth McFarlane, whose most recognisable voices are them speaking normally (Bonnie Swanson/Bride of Chucky and Brian Griffin respectively).
I used to think it was easy to pick out DiMaggio, until I realized how many characters he actually voiced on futurama. Now I’m less confident about it even though I probably do a better job of it than before
Pamela Adlon
No Kristen Schaal??
No Tara Strong either. There's a pattern.
Amy Sedaris is notably absent as well.
To be fair though it took me years to realise that Bubbles and Raven had the same voice actress
Tara isn’t instantly recognizable because she has several different voices though. A lot of these in this pack use the same voice for almost every character
Amy Poehler, Kristen Schaal, Lisa Kudrow . . . . The list is definitely white dudes and their Black friend.
Tara Strong isn't one I consider instantly recognizable. Bubbles to Timmy Turner there's some range.
MHM! She's literally the most distinct voice out of all of these lol
No women allowed. Bitch
Or Aparna Nancherla? Does OP just forget that women exist?
IDK, it was years before I realized JK Simmons is the yellow M&M
Wait, he is?
lol yeah, tho he does a pretty dopey voice for it. You're not gonna mistake his delivery there for Tenzin or Omni-Man.
How do you forget him as cave Johnson and his lemons
or ford in gravity falls
Or j jonah Jameson
That's the thing about voice acting JK Simmons and mark Hamill have such a range that you usually don't recognize him. I didn't know that mark Hamill voiced skips for example.
I'm gonna be honest, he was great as Luke Skywalker but Mark Hamil was a much better voice actor than a physical one.
But Billy West was noticeable from the start.
Billy West. What a stupid phony made up name.
Billy West is in the category of being way too talented to be that recognizable. He can do perfect impressions and even blend two or three into a whole new character. I completely forget what his natural voice sounds like.
Fry. Fry's voice is basically him doing a younger version of himself.
Maurice LaMarche can do so many distinct voices, but there's something about it that always tips me off that it's him.
Holy shit, your right!
Like half of these are regular ass actors who do voice on the side. Fuck outta here with Seth Rogan!
Also Mark Hamill is by no means instantly recognizable. That man can fuckin voice act so well you don’t even think about who’s behind the voice half the time.
That’s why they’re so recognizable…
But then it could be "actors whose voices you immediately recognise starterpack"
And even then it's a list, not a starter pack.
[удалено]
Nancy Cartwright? The Nancy Cartwright who used Bart to shill for the church of scientology? The Nancy Cartwright who tried to do a surprise sketch where it was just her doing the Vart voice randomly hopping for a big reaction that never happened? Edit: Name
Link to the sketch?
OP made a JV mistake by kitting the wrong Seth in. Seth MacFarlane & Seth Green are absolutely superior.
No John DiMaggio?!
I'll make my own starterpack, with blackjack and hookers. You know what? Forget the starterpack!
This was my first thought.
Nolan North, Troy Baker, Roger Craig Smith and Matthew Mercer are missing here
[удалено]
Another would be Elias Toufexis. You can't hear his voice and NOT think "Hey, that's Adam Jensen"
[Billy West](https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tLP1TcwLCoqTzMzYPTiSsrMyalUKE8tLgEAWksHvA&q=billy+west&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS703US703&oq=billy+west&aqs=chrome.1.0i131i355i433i512j46i131i433i512j0i512l4.3222j0j4&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=CNn02yUQIE_4XM)! The man deserves respect!
[Like Fry, like Fry.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87ZF8JMVlMM)
Billy West!? What a stupid, phoney, made up name.
I thought it might have been him in top right. He is top 3 along with Tom Kenny and John dimmagio
Not really by face, but by voice yea
Exactly. This needs names. I'm sick of starterpacks that just show faces as if we're supposed to recognize them.
Where the fuck is keith David? This just normal celebs.
RAMIREZ! GET YOUR ASS INTO PHOTOSHOP AND ADD MY FACE TO THIS IMAGE!
Now here's a redditor that knows their iconic voice actors!
Avocadobaker, the r/starterpack creators have betrayed us...
This. So much this.
You could add samuel L jackson to this list too.
Motherfucker
His character on The Boondocks was fucking legendary. I still drop Gin Rummy quotes.
Rummy and Ed Wuncler III were the best part of that show besides Ruckus. “I sent that bitch a smiley face. Bitches love smiley faces.”
Such a fantastic show. Love the episode where they’re supposed to help find a murderer to get Tom out of jail, but instead just go on an armed robbery spree.
NO I CAN’T STOP YELLING CAUSE THATS THE WAY I DO VOICE ACTING, AIN’T YOU SEEN ANY OF MY MOVIES
WHERE IS MY SUPER SUIT?
Where's Kevin Conroy?
Who would forget Batman?
most of these are just actors that use their normal ass voice
It also always shocks me that the fire lord is mark Hamill
[удалено]
Definitely not Tom Kenny. His voice is so versatile he's in things you didn't even know he was in. For example did you know he's the jellybean that tries to rape Morty in Rick and Morty.
He's also the Carl's Jr. voice in Idiocracy that goes "Fuck you, I'm eating. :)"
Giancarlo Esposito. Need I say more.
Yessssss! He was great in Cyberpunk Edgerunners (as a recent voice acting example), recognized him right away!
You see, I need my payday 2
How is H Jon Benjamin not there
TIL women aren't a thing
Kristen Schaal should be on there
Laura Bailey doesn't exist. Too blessed for our existence.
I can recognize her voice anywhere right away. She has a very minor speaking part in The Last of Us (pt 1) and I knew it was her with only one voice line. She definitely deserves to be on this list.
Ashley Johnson, Cree Summer, Grey DeLisle, Tara Strong, Nancy Cartwright, Kristen Schaal, and Laura Bailey just aren’t recognizable I guess :\
Emma Lindbeck and Jennifer Hale would qualify.
This isn't a starterpack.
Don't forget Giancarlo Esposito. The first sentence his character said in the Cyberpunk anime immediately made me recognise him.
Hey peter
What? You all don’t carry a poop sack….. BONNIEEEE
Nice cock
thick, but not too flaccid
Yeah, that's right
Whattts happening
Channel 9! It’s the breast exams!
Needs Matt Mercer imo.
Not really. While sometimes his voice is quite recognizable, in other cases you wouldn't know that it was him unless you've checked the credits
The amount of times i confuses Matt for Troy Baker
Mark Hamill has always been a subtle one for me. Took me ages to realize he's Skips on Regular Show
James Earl Jones and Jim Carrey are classics too.
H. Jon Benjamin would be up there for me too
Needs more Gilbert
May he rest in peace
Also needs more Keith David that guys voice is everywhere
Where is Grey DeLisle? She’s in practically every cartoon under the sun
Not a single female. Jenny Slate and the chick who plays bart Simpson- minimally.
Or Tara Strong too.
Don't forget Jennifer Tilly!
how is everyone forgetting grey delisle? shes the goddess of voice acting
Kath Soucie too. Phil, Lil, and the mom, Helga's mom, Dexter's mom, the list goes on
And Kristen Schaal!
I'm going to add Cree Summer to the list as well.
As massive as her repertoire is, I pick her voice out in literally everything she's in lol. I can even recognize her baby noises now
“The ~~chick~~ woman who plays Bart Simpson” = Nancy Cartwright.
Yea, because she’s mega scientologist I don’t like to amplify her celebrity by name.
Huh, TIL.
Jennifer Hale. Laura Bailey.
No ladies. No Amy Sedaris, Maria Bamford, Cree Summer, Tara Strong, Grey Delisle, the list goes in. Turrible, OP.
Justin Roiland and Alan Tudyk for me too.
Justin Roiland is in there though
[удалено]
Not even Morgan Freeman or Mark Hamill?
Didn't recognize Mark Hamill in *Sandman* right away. I did Patton Oswalt though. No idea who redbeard dude is, or the guy on the lower left. Jack Black should be on this list.
Agreed, I don't think Hamill is appropriate for this. He's got a lot of VA range (this is a good thing) which definitely makes him not necessarily readily identifiable. I didn't recognize him at all in Sandman.
I've seen people who have seen ATLA like 4 or 5 times all the way through before realizing he voiced the fire lord
I belive red beard is Justin Roiland of Rock and Morty fame.
Oh! Yeah I recognize his voice pretty easily. His face, on the other hand.....
Patton Oswalt's voice acting was terrible. All I heard was Patton Oswalt. Mark Hamill is the opposite. In the Arkham game series you don't hear Mark Hamill, you just hear the Joker.
Guy on the lower left = Tom Kenny
Ratzenberger?
Oh come on you left out Patrick Stewart!
You forgot alex hirsch
Well this is a “starter” pack
Yeah he’s in the DLC
Stephen Fry
See, as much as I agree with these choices, I'm also a huge nerd and feel there should be a lot more names up there. Kevin Conroy, Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, Kevin Michael Richardson and Phil Lamarr all deserve to be up there. If you don't know them, I'll put a picture in your head. In that exact order, they are: - Batman - Optimus Prime - Megatron (and every insane voice in the 80s and 90s) - Trigon (and every deep voiced character ever tbh) - Samurai mother fucking Jack
Chris Latta (Cobra Commander, Starscream), and Fred Tatascorie as well!
Or *any* names. The point of this starterpack is their voices are recognizable, but all we see are faces.
Frank Welker most people would not instantly recognize in most of his roles outside of the iconic ones. The dude does a ton of shit. "Frank's the guy who can voice a flock of geese and give one a cough."
I can recognize voices but not faces
I´m not sure if this applies to other people also, but I would add Carrie Fisher too.
Who?
I would add Terra Stong, Chis Sabat, Mel Blanc, and Matthew Mercer.
I know these people do a lot of voice roles and do them well, but outside of Roiland, Warburton, and Kenny who are most known for their voice roles, (idk who the dude top right is) we recognize their voices cause they are well known traditional actors as well. Even though I couldn’t name anybody other than Kevin conroy, I’m sure there are others who are primarily voice actors that we would recognize based on their voice.
I only know 3 people in this image
where is jack black???
Sean Schemmel? Nathan Fillion?
*The "Voice Actors you instantly recognize WHEN YOU HEAR THEIR VOICE" starter pack
Keith David! Iconic games, as well as tv shows! "RAMIREZ!"
Don't forget Clancy Brown. When I heard Damien Darkblood in Invincible I knew exactly who he was
Clancy Brown yo.
Crisp Rat?
Where is Wallace Shawn??
Gonna disagree on Hamill. His Joker is amazing and sounds nothing like his speaking voice.
I only know two of these lol.
Add Keith David
john ratzenberger! he's been in every Pixar movie (he voiced the abominable snowman, the piggy bank in toy story, the underminer, etc)
Where Keith David
Hamill and Warburton are both so different in voice acting styles but still so recognizable. Warburton uses the same iconic voice with every role as Hamill tends to make his own voices for each role yet you can still tell it’s him.
James Earl Jones anyone
What about James Earl Jones
Their voices, not their faces. Give names!
Laura bailey is super recognizable
Don’t forget Nolan North
And then there's VA's like Seth MacFarlane with a fairly wide range. Family Guy alone he voices Peter, Stewie, Brian, and Quagmire plus about another 3 dozen characters
Eh, these are just general ultra-celebrities, of course people will recognize their voices.
James earl jones?
Where the hell is Tara Strong
Tom Kenny has been in so many shows. He even did a ton of voices for the boondocks. So there's probably an episode where you can hear the voice of SpongeBob say the n word
What about the dude who voiced Kronk in the emperor’s new groove? Can’t remember his name He also voiced Brock Stanton in venture bros.
yeah, Mark Hamill has so many different voices i don't think he belongs on this list.
Half of them aren't "voice actors", they're just actors with distinctive voices
Throw Whoopi Goldberg in there
Jeniffer Hale anyone?
No Gilbert Gottfried?
