Actors might get more recognition in the entertainment ind❀ustry, but voice actors have done just as much, even if they are in a booth recording lines. Video games are where voice actors get their chance to shine, to portray timeless or original characters. Technology has come a long way to wh🍒ere even the voice actors get to take part in doing motion capture. To those that discredit voice actors for not being real actors, they are eating their words for sure! The voice actors put their heart and soul into giving the characters life and we have to give credit where credit is due.

Voice actors usually do not look the part, but that does not lessen their talent in any way. Nowada🦩ys, most of them get the chance to have a resemblance to their characters through motion capture. There are a handful of voice actors that earned their recognition due to their contributions in triple-A titles and even indie games. These voice actors can provide just as much cinematic achiev꧒ement as regular actors, expressing their gift with passion and hard work.

Characters like Lara Cဣroft, Connor, and Vaas Montenegro are really thanks to their voice actors, even if by lore from their games, they are nonexistent. Voice acting will continue to be a huge part in the entertainment industry and we are here with a list to honor the voice actors who either look the part or don’t, but their voice work is outstanding overall.

Here are ten console game voice actors that loo🐟k nothing like their role and ten that look exactly like the character!

20 Doesn't: Ashly Bꦐurch (Life is Strange)

Via: YouTube

Ashly Burch is known for voicing snarky and no-nonsense girls, and Chloe Price is one that adds to her resume. Life is Strange takes on a time-traveling journey ꩵwhere Max saves her best friend Chloe. Ov🐠er and over, the former has to keep saving her friend. Ashly might not look punkish compared to Chloe, but her voice absolutely fits the character.

It was unfortunate that she could not reprise her role in Before the Storm, but she acted as a writing consultant and eventually voiced Chloe𒀰 again in the bonus episode. Ashly is just one 🐟heck of a talented woman!

19 🔯 Does: Keith David (Saints Row IV)

This oneꦐ was an oꦏbvious pick, but Keith David voices himself while also playing himself in Saints Row IV as the protagonist’s vice president. Keith is a prolific actor who has taken on many roles ranging from television, film, and of course, video games.

Fun fact: Keith has also voiced Julius, who appeared in the Saints Row, Saints Row 2, and Saints Row IV. While it is funny for Keith to reprise his role as the original leader of the Saints, but it ꦬis funnier that he gets to play himself in the fourth game.

18 🍃 🍨 Doesn't: Melissa Hutchinson (Telltale's The Walking Dead)

Clementine has captured the likes of those who have played Telltale’s The Walking Dead fra🐎nchise. One of the best aspects of Clementine is her voice perforꦍmance done by Melissa Hutchinson.

Even if Melissa is not as young as Clementine, she got to see her c🧸haracter grow and it is a joy to witness throughout the four seasons of the now concluded game franchise. Thankfully, she is still rocking it with keeping up with her voice acting career.

17 𒉰 Does: James McCaffrey (Max Payne) ♏

The Max Payne series is the one exception where the voice actor does not look like the c🌜haracter, but as time went on in the motion capture age, James McCaffrey would be the new face of Max Payne in the third game. Thanks to Rockstar, James was able to voice the iconic character and do motion capture for him.

For that long, it must have been worth the wait. It is a huge step up for the voice acting industry to have their actors take part in motion capture, so that they are not only voicing their characters, but acting in ෴the most important scenes𒅌 in video games.

16 Does♔n't: Mark Hamill (Batman ꩲArkham series)

via: youtube.com, yext.com

Who would have thought that Mark Hamill, the actor who brought us Luke Skywalker from Star Wars, can also be the voice of DC Comic’s greatest villain? Mark hits the voice performance on the mark, no pun int꧒ended. He is anything but psychotic, and that is what makes Mark one of the greatest voices for the Joker.

As he🐽 reprises his role from Batꦫman: The Animated Series, Mark continues to impress us in the Arkham games and he keeps us laughing and terrified at the same time. We hope that Mark will continue to do incredible work as the Joker in future games.

15 Does: Bryan Dechart (Detroit: Become Human) 💯

via: polygon.com, twitter.com

How could Connor, the android sent by Cyberlife, look so similar to Bryan Dechart? Well, the answer is with any other entries on this lis♏t, that being motion capture. Bryan Dechart✤ might not sound like a household name, but his talent for bringing the android to life is something to behold.

He is more known for acting than voice acting, but it helped him make his character intriguing and just great to watch, whether it is a calm scenario or an intense scene. He also streams on Twitch with his wife, who has also done voice work for Detroit Become Human.

14 🐻꧒ Doesn't: Armin Shimerman (BioShock)

via: youtube.com, wikipedia.org

Would you kindly? Those are the three words that took a plot twist to a whole new level in BioShock. Armin Shimerman, most famous for being in Star Trek and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, takes on the villain Andrew Ryan. These two shockingly have nothing in common, but Armin brings an excellent performance in BioShock.

Armin seems ℱlike a lovely gentleman, while Andrew is that kind of man who seems to b♑e hiding something. It might be surprising to have Armin voice such an insane man, but he does it so well that we would not expect it to be him.

13 💖 Does: Kirsten Bell (Assassin's Creed series) 🅰

via: twitter.com/assassinsiren, self.com

Before she would be the voice of Anna from Frozen, the lovely Kirsten Bell voices Lucy from the Assassin’s Creed series. Despite her devotion to the Templars, Lucy became a character that fans ✱grew attached to and loved how bright and warm her personality is.

Despite her character being offed in Revelations, Kirsten would return to voice acting for Kingdom Hearts III as Anna. Even if Kirsten will be known for Anna and TV shows like Veronica Mars, it will be a pleasure to have her continue to do v🗹oice acting in video games.

12 ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ Doesn't: ౠRoger Craig Smith (Assassin's Creed II)

via: microsoft.com, imdb.com

Arguably his well-known performance in video games, Roger Craig Smith brings the most popular assassin to life in Assassin’s Creed II and other related titles featuring Ezio Auditore. His Italian accent is attractive and spot-on at the same time. That being said, he could have had us fooled from h𓆉is other voice roles in anime and video games, the latter including Batman himself!

Ezio and Roger are on completely different spectrums in appearances, but they both share a voice. The talent and character stole our attention and both of th😼em rightfully earned their recognition for awards.

11 Does: Yvonne Strahovski (Mass Effect 2 + 3) 💮

via: giantbomb.com, ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com

Yvonne Strahovski brought us the likes of Miranda in Mass Effect 2 and 3. Before she took on the role of the brave companion of Commander Shepherd, Yvonne has also been in TV shows like Chuck and Dexter. 🌌While Yvonne is blonde, did you know that Miranda was originally supposed to be blo𝄹nde too?

Since Yvonne has done motion capture for Miranda, it would make sense.🐻 However, Miranda’s black hair gives her a more “femme fatale” look, so that is how she ended up withಞ black hair. Yvonne did a great job in voicing Miranda, she was rewarded so in the Spike Video Game Awards.
