Do you recognize the same person plays the role!? 14 voice actors with wide range acting styles & representative characters!

Voice actors play roles in various programs such as animation, movie dubbing, and narration.

 

Sometimes they breathe life into characters, sometimes they support variety shows, and sometimes we hear them using a wide range of voices.

 

Point

  • Introducing 14 voice actors with a wide range of acting skills.

  • What representative characters surprise you with their gaps?

 

 

You might be surprised with these 14 voice actors’ acting skills! Can you recognize these two characters have the same voice?

Voice acting is a profession using their wide range of vices.

 

You must be surprised like “Wait, I can’t believe that he could voice like that!” and “His voice sounds totally different!”. We are always surprised by their skills, right?

 

I have selected two characters that are acted by the same voice actor but sound totally different.
