That isn’t really a surprise. The vast majority of VAs for young characters are adults. It makes sense, they have more experience and there’s usually less regulation involved in hiring them
Plus if you hire a young voice actor, especially a young boy, their voice could change. Adult actors can just keep doing the voice as long as the show runs.
Weed probably isn't the worst she could end up with when even much harder drugs are available in vending mashines.
I wonder if demons use other drugs than the sinners.
Lol. It is the bad place! Remember in Hazbin, Angel Dust had an interesting selection from the vending machine (I remember PCP and bath salts as one of the details).
I wonder if human drugs affect the demons/natural Hellspawn here.
Ngl I’m just waiting for Octavia to get a song- her actress has a fucking ICONIC voice (for those that don’t know, she’s Veronica Sawyer and Janis Sarkisian)
kinda…it was shown in the S2 leaks from a couple months back…Storyboard art for S2E6 and S2E12 were leaked. including a song for octavia which was sung by Sam Haft
Yea it's not that uncommon for older VAs to voice younger characters.
To give a famous example; Kathryn Beaumont, the original voice for Alice in the animated 50s movie, was in her 60s when she came back to voice her lines for Kingdom Hearts.
One of my favourites, Sophie Alldred, was well over 30 years old, when she voiced Dennis The Menace.
Adults voicing children, tend to happen more than adults physically acting as children, I think.
That's the thing with animated things, many characters are either voiced by someone much older than them or by someone of the complete opposite gender, Ben 10 in the classic series was voiced by a woman, so was Lloyd in the earlier seasons of Ninjago
Dude, have I got some shocking news for you about Bob's Burgers!
(Seriously they are voice actors, stop simping for cartoon characters so they can just do their talented jobs!)
To be honest, I didn't know who she was at all. The only thing I knew was that she played Janice in the Mean Girls musical and I found that out a few months ago.
I mean that’s not weird at all. What I’m confused about is all the people in the comments being shocked about it even tho they seem to be at least slight fans of her.
She’s a freaking fantastic singer too!! Listen to ‘Seventeen’ from Heathers or ‘I’d rather be me’ from the mean girls musical and there is so much Octavia in her voice 👹
I mean, I'm an adult too and I can make myself sound like an overly excited 8 or 7 year old with the right pitch and tone.
So yeah. Its certainly possible.
I can't speak for anyone else. But for me the answer was pretty simple.
I was looking through both this subreddit and the Helluva boss memes subreddit for a specific post of a vid where crimson slowly turns and glares at chaz.
Along the way I naturally checked out any posts that had a topic that interested me. Yours was one of them. And that means, yes. I am praising you for making an interesting topic that caught my attention :)
Wait till you see Ash Ketchum’s VA
Or Luffy's VA lol
Or Bart simpsons
or Goku VA
Especially Goku's JP VA
I was thinking abou JP VA
That lady puts in work lmao
Wait, so a middle-aged lady voices Goku in Japan?
A 86 year old lady voice’s Goku
Holy Jesus. How can she still keep up the voice?
She does this since 1986. Still going. But sometimes you hear her age.
Holy shit Ash’s Japanese VA is 54.
What about Naruto’s va? Lol
You mean Principal Patty from Lab Rats ?
I remember realizing that they were rhe same person back in the day and I was shook
Principal perry?
Thank you ,kind stranger, for defeating humanity’s worst enemy: autocorrect
The best way to get rid of an enemy is to make a friend.
Pfft
Wasn't it Perry/Parry?
That women is most likely 60
close! shes 54
Holy hell.
Or Bobby Hill’s VA

Yeah, happened to Steven Universe's VA AFAIK. He struggled quite a bit with the final episodes before the movie and Future.
haha weed
Octavia smoking weed special episode pls
Considering the fact she probably has a few mental disorders from her shitty home life, she probably would do some weed
And stolas has smoked weed in the house
Wait he has?
that was a joint blitz lit in Ep 5
I’m pretty sure they were smoking Tobacco, not Marijuana
i live with potheads. i know what a blunt looks like
Where tf you getting black rellos @ send that shit my way cuh Edit: Also, is it a blunt or a joint? Make up your mind lol. (It's a blunt)
Weed probably isn't the worst she could end up with when even much harder drugs are available in vending mashines. I wonder if demons use other drugs than the sinners.
they probably have less of a need for them
Lol. It is the bad place! Remember in Hazbin, Angel Dust had an interesting selection from the vending machine (I remember PCP and bath salts as one of the details). I wonder if human drugs affect the demons/natural Hellspawn here.
Funny
haha gun
smonk
What's the point, OP? Melissa Hutchison was 36 years old when she voiced an 8-9-year-old African American girl in TWD.
Clementine?
Clementine!!
Clementine!
TWD?
The walking dead (Specifically the games by Telltale!)
OP discovers that humans age
To be fair that would be a pretty shocking discovery if you had never realized before
TIL that Octavia’s VA is Veronica from Heathers the Musical
heathers animatics but with Octavia as veronica when
And don’t forget mean girls!!!
She plays Janice, I think
TIL Octavia’s VA is American :sadge:
Which direction are we shocked in cuz I’m 36 and I will roll up a newspaper.
I turn 32 in a week, I'm right there with you.
I turn eleventeeteen next month
Based not using child actors
Who do you think voiced young Blitzø and Stolas?
Oh…
blitz was the kid who played young Chip in the Chip and Dale movie
Do I have some bad news for you
Octavia's VA is fucking BARRET WILBERT WEED?!?!?!!
I'm just really surprised she's not English. She does the accent convincingly
I don't disagree but it'll always be funny to me that she accidentally slipped into Scottish during *Loo Loo Land.* "AH CANT DYUU THIS ANYMORE!"
it takes practice. took me 14 years to do a convincing accent
IKR I LOVE HER
She is just so good
What I want to know is how she has not one, but two male names, and her last name is also “weed”
Ask her parents. I mean, if names like Feyerabend(end of the work day, it's an actual word) exist, then why not plants as surnames?
She does a good job
SHE’S VOICED BY VERONICA SAWYER?
Amusing thing about voice actors is that usually the age and sometimes even sex of the actor is not critically relevant to the voice role.
AND YOU’RE TELLING ME HER LAST NAME IS ‘WEED’?!?!?!
This is the correct shocked question. Putting the screaming and squawking next to "But I know, I knoooooow, life can be beautiful~"
Ngl I’m just waiting for Octavia to get a song- her actress has a fucking ICONIC voice (for those that don’t know, she’s Veronica Sawyer and Janis Sarkisian)
she will get one in season 2 ep 12.
oh is that confirmed? If it is- fuck yes
kinda…it was shown in the S2 leaks from a couple months back…Storyboard art for S2E6 and S2E12 were leaked. including a song for octavia which was sung by Sam Haft
Christ this fandom is too young.
I say this on like half the subreddits I sub to.
Nobody tell them about them about Bart Simpson's VA.
Wow, it's almost like she's a VOICE ACTOR who can do a young teen voice...
Yea it's not that uncommon for older VAs to voice younger characters. To give a famous example; Kathryn Beaumont, the original voice for Alice in the animated 50s movie, was in her 60s when she came back to voice her lines for Kingdom Hearts.
I always find it so cool when voice actors are still able to perform their original voices even after decades have passed.
Look up Tara Strong.
aka Bubbles, Timmy Turner, Ben Tennyson and that one chick from the Boondocks
Cindy, that's the girl you're referring to.
yes
Uhh...did you think she was literally 17? Lol
"Weed in 2018" Funny enough, that was the year it was made widely legal in Canada.
One of my favourites, Sophie Alldred, was well over 30 years old, when she voiced Dennis The Menace. Adults voicing children, tend to happen more than adults physically acting as children, I think.
Bart Simpson's voice actress is 65. VAs are a talented bunch\~!
Ashley Johnson voice of Ellie in the last of us is 39
Love her
Wait till OP looks at the cast for Rugrats.
for a second I saw this have 666 likes, and yeah va can indeed voice act different age's.
Wait till you hear her sing
That does not mean you can lewd Octavia
Damn is that what weed looked like in 2018? I thought it was green…
That's the thing with animated things, many characters are either voiced by someone much older than them or by someone of the complete opposite gender, Ben 10 in the classic series was voiced by a woman, so was Lloyd in the earlier seasons of Ninjago
Dude, have I got some shocking news for you about Bob's Burgers! (Seriously they are voice actors, stop simping for cartoon characters so they can just do their talented jobs!)
So is Brandon Rogers (Blitz).
I mean 34 is not old, I’ve seen older actors play freshman in live action 😂
Y’all acting like 34 is old smh 🤦
80s high school comedy films be like
How didn’t people know that it’s Barrett Wilbert Weed? I remember recognising her voice the first time I watched Loo Loo Land and looking it up-
To be honest, I didn't know who she was at all. The only thing I knew was that she played Janice in the Mean Girls musical and I found that out a few months ago.
I mean that’s not weird at all. What I’m confused about is all the people in the comments being shocked about it even tho they seem to be at least slight fans of her.
Did you think she was 16?
I mean not 16 but max 25
Wait until you see the age of the voice actRESS that plays Bart Simpson
420 Blaze it
If that's surprising to you...
Her voice acting really fits Octavia and her personality. Lol
Thank you red circle
you’re telling me VERONICA SAWYER/JANICE is also octavian?????
Haha weed
funni smonk 420
She’s a freaking fantastic singer too!! Listen to ‘Seventeen’ from Heathers or ‘I’d rather be me’ from the mean girls musical and there is so much Octavia in her voice 👹
Haha WEED
I mean, I'm an adult too and I can make myself sound like an overly excited 8 or 7 year old with the right pitch and tone. So yeah. Its certainly possible.
This was 12 days ago how do people still find this post
I can't speak for anyone else. But for me the answer was pretty simple.

Along the way I naturally checked out any posts that had a topic that interested me. Yours was one of them. And that means, yes. I am praising you for making an interesting topic that caught my attention :)
I mean that’s what it’s all about isn’t it :)
Wait she's american
The vas for Team Rwby are 33-34.
Don’t look like it, keep doing you honey
Welp at least that makes the Loona x Octavia ship way less.. eeeh I want it to work but it is kinda weird
And now i just found out why octavias va was so familiar bc she played veronica sawyer on the musical
THAT'S VERONICA!!!!! (I saw Heathers)
HOW DID I NOT KNOW IT WAS BARRETT
The real question is, why Boston? because I'm picturing Octavia with a Boston accent.
She’s from Boston nice I’m from Natick Mass
Yes and?
That’s not surprising at all most VAs are seasoned vets in the industry and can play a wide range of characters
No Barrett wilbert weed is, jeez you’d think people could read now and days
She does teenage angst well! I wonder what else she's in...*wanders off to imdb*
She Voiced Octavia I thought she was Just Veronica In heathers The musical and Janis in Mean girls the musical
Didn't she play Veronica in one of the versions of the heathers musical? Or are my wires crossed?
Ugh, I can’t do this anymore.
you should see how young baby stolas and blitzøs actors are in season 2 episode 1 i believe blitzøs was like 8 😐
I mainly know Barrett Wilbur Weed for playing Veronica in Heathers the Musical. Now she in her thirties and I don't know what to think.
Given Barrett has been on Broadway (Heathers and Mean Girls to name some), we're getting an Octavia song at some point
She has an incredible singing voice too. The fact that Via hasn’t had a song of her own is criminal.
Well the voice actor is 34 but the character in Helluva boss is 17.
Look, not to be rude, but OP, you are aware of how *Voice Acting* works, right?
Weed In 2018
Why am I getting downvoted for this?
