His most famous animal roles (except possibly Perry) are also as every fantasy creature in the world of Avatar. His range is amazing, from the iconic Perry the Platypus growl to literally every animal in The Wild Thornberry’s. It would be funnier if it wasn’t usually true. It’s a running joke in my house that whenever an animal is in anything animated, Dee Bradley Baker provides the noises. It’s funny though when Harley Quinn appears in both M rated games and Cartoon Network shows, with the same distinctive voice. Her turns in more deranged or mature works equally impress, while also being unique. Strong isn’t limited to kids cartoons obviously. I could have sworn she played certain characters only to be dead wrong, only to find out she played someone I would never have guessed. It’s notable that while researching this I was looking at the filmography and was surprised at which roles she had and hadn’t played.
Oh, also she was Twlight Sparkle in My Little Pony, you know, that little known franchise. Ben 10, Timmy Turner and Bubbles are stand outs but slightly more obscure nostalgic classics like Omi from Xiaolin Showdown really show her ability to compeltely vanish into a role. Strong also likely has one of the largest lists of “iconic” cartoon characters out of all voice actors. Strong played Raven in both Teen Titans and Injustice and neither sounds a thing like the other. However it’s not just being many characters, it’s finding new ways to perform them. The sheer range of characters performed by her are immense. Number 3: Tara StrongĪs voice actors go there’s few who can claim to have been “the voice of your childhood” as much as Tara Strong. Which is what being a vocal chameleon is all about. While it sounds weird that losing an edge is a positive it only adds to the “Wait, huh?” appeal.
His turn as James Sunderland in Silent Hill 2 HD or Vincent from Catherine lose that edge. This makes it all the more impressive when he’s able to turn that off for less enigmatic roles. His voice has an ability to completely engulf the listeners ears. The one element connecting most of these is his natural gravitas when speaking which you can notice even as he speaks in interviews. Baker is one of the few people to have taken on both Batman and The Joker and loses himself in both performances.

He is also an actor to take on multiple characters in one series or even one project. While Baker does have a signature style he uses (Typically on higher profile releases), his talent makes him the perfect choice to slip into any role. This selection of his work displays how versatile an actor he is. When it comes to voice actors few have made it to quite the level of stardom he has. It likely surprises people that someone as prolific as Troy Baker only ranks fourth. There is more to come from Lindsay Jones, no doubt with more surprises down the line. The scenes they’ve had to carry vary too, from tragic or exhausted to down right hilarious. The nasal tones of Space Kid from Camp Camp, the squeak of Ruby from RWBY or the authortitative speeches of Kimball in Red vs Blue never vanish. For Jones however, the character always shines through. Other great voice actors can sometimes let their natural speech break through when asked to scream or sing. The most impressive ability Jones has however (and as all of the actors on this list share) is that the voice never slips no matter what the scene calls for. However 1) This is my list and 2) Jones’ natural voice vanishes in most roles I’ve heard. They are also possibly more well known as an internet personality rather than for their turns at acting. Out of all of the voice actors on this list Lindsay Jones is the least prolific. Whether or not actual reptile DNA had to be used to get these performers is anyones guess. These are the ones who frequently surprise me by their appearances and leave me pausing on credits to figure out their names. To the point of playing multiple characters in a single project. However, some come with the ability to completely lose themselves in a role. Some voice actors are cast because of their distinct voices such as Patrick Warburton. I keep my ears peeled for certain ticks from the actors without looking at the cast and see if I can spot the actors. There’s a game I like to play when watching animated shows or playing games.
