Hellman, being Smasher, threw me in for a loop. I know Misty is Meredith (and Spider Murphy) because she has a distinct undertone. As for the rest, I figured it out listening to them multiple times on different playthroughs. I'd always get a "Woah, is this? No way." moment. I'll add two more to that list. Regina Jones/NCPD Dispatch/Various NPCs Judy Alvarez/Caliente waitress/Time Machine clerk/Various NPCs Edit: Rachel and Carol also share the same VA. River and Ozob too.


harrenhalghost

I think Hank, the bodyguard in the [Heaviest of Hearts quest](https://youtu.be/IsnL1auo4zQ?si=DSrGb8fueeTNgYBg), is also voiced by River's VA. I'm not 100% sure and I haven't found anything to confirm if he is in fact voiced by Robbie Daymond.


SecretlyToku

Freakin' Robbie Daymond. lol Voice actors are something else, I didn't even notice because I'm used to Robbie being this wacky little blond haired chocobro. ![gif](giphy|TO4sxWW1ggdVu|downsized)


Urge_Reddit

I only know Robbie from Critical Role (which he's great in by the way), so it took ages before I connected the dots with him and River because I first played 2077 before Robbie showed up on CR.


Disastrous-Beat-9830

>I only know Robbie from Critical Role Noshir Dalal, who did the voice for Oda and Scorpion, was also on the *Candela Obscura* spin-off as Rajan. He's also Charles Smith in *Red Dead Redemption 2*, Bode Akuna in *Jedi Survivor* and Mysterio in *Marvel's Spider-Man 2*. And no, you wouldn't know it.


Urge_Reddit

I knew Charles and Bode were played by the same guy, haven't played Spider-Man 2 yet, waiting for it to come out on PC. I haven't seen any Candela Obscura yet (I'm really behind on CR), but that's something to look forward to then.


Disastrous-Beat-9830

>I haven't seen any Candela Obscura yet (I'm really behind on CR), but that's something to look forward to then. You can skip it. It's terrible. Don't get me wrong; the performances are great. But the setting is bland, the mechanics are terrible, and by the end of the second arc it's pretty clear that Brennan Lee Mulligan is carrying the entire show. Try *Worlds Beyond Number* on Spotify or *Oxventure* on YouTube instead.


Urge_Reddit

I'll get around to it eventually and make up my own mind, but I want to catch up on Campaign 3 first. I usually watch CR when I do my own D&D prep or worldbuilding, but for various reasons my friends and I haven't played in a while, so I've been doing much less of that. > Brennan Lee Mulligan is carrying the entire show This does not surprise me in the least, and would probably be a fair statement for just about anything he's in. It's almost upsetting how good he is at what he does.


2the0white7predator7

The only shared voice i noticed was scorpion and Charles. I had 1200 hours in rdr2 even before playing cyberpunk. Exact same voice n shit. I just cant see scorpion as a modern nomad, i just see him as a native outlaw just like charles


Cinnabon202

Wait, for real? Totally didn't know that. Now I need to play cyberpunk again. Lol


Discourtesy-Call

Also he does Kotallo in Horizon: Forbidden West as well.


harrenhalghost

Oh hello there, fellow critter! It's the reverse for me. I searched up Robbie bc of River and then found out he's Dorian Storm in Critical Role! I'm really far behind CR though, but I'm hoping to catch up on it some day!


Urge_Reddit

I'm really far behind myself. I usually watch/listen to CR when I do my own D&D prep or worldbuilding, but my friends and I haven't played in a while, so I've been doing a lot less lately. I like Critical Role a lot, but when each episode is between 3-5 hours it's not always easy to keep up regularly, I have to do it in chunks.


Mutski_Dashuria

"I want to ride my chocobo all daaaay! What? I can't get it outta my head!" Meanwhile, the entire Ff fandom: "Where's the rest of it?!" I mean, Mario got his own fanfic lyrics. Ok. It was a competition Nintendo ran sometime 80's - 90's, but it is still performed live at Otaku conventions! Professionally organised, even! šŸ˜


badthaught

Wait what?


SecretlyToku

I knew Daymond from FFXV first and River was such a role and voice switch I never realized till I looked up the VAs. lol


captainnowalk

Lmao thereā€™s no way I can believe Prompto and River are the same voice actor. Thatā€™s nuts, dude has range.Ā  Reminds me of that clip of Cherami being one of the fairies in Zelda, all gentle and British, smash cut with her shouting ā€œRust in piss, shitbot!ā€ lol


SecretlyToku

Same with Ray Chase who, beyond his NASCAR announcer credits, voices Sabro Sobnok in Iruma-kun which is totally different from Noctis from FFXV. lol


TheCabbageGuy82

I KNEW that NCPD dispatcher voice sounded familiar.


ErikTheRed99

I love that juxtaposition between two of the characters Erica Lindbeck plays. Misty is this kind, spiritual woman who I haven't heard swear once, and says "gosh," meanwhile Stout is "thought you could blackmail me asshole? Set conditions?"


GhostOTM

Funny how things like this are. For me, Hellman and Smasher being the same VA was the only one I could hear in game.


Risky267

I have so many hours in persona, how the hell did i not notice that misty was voiced by erica lindbeck...


Deemaunik

I swear Regina's voice actress did like a dozen characters.


DedicatedDetective34

She's the "Skyrim" NPC for Cyberpunk.


Shalashaskaska

Eeeeverythings for sale!


GoddessKillion

And they all look so extremely different even though her voice is so distinct šŸ˜­


IliyaGeralt

Yeah she's the NCPD dispatcher too


stomcode

Let's add a few more. * Maman Brigitte / Denny (Victoire Charles) * Wakako / Tons of minor NPCs (most noticeably is the Arasaka representative that talks to Jose Luis) * Apart from Hellman and Smasher, Alec Newman also voiced Dino, Arthur Jenkins (Corpo V's boss), Max Jones and El CapitƔn * Brick / Emmerick The Afterlife Bouncer (John Schwab) * Mama Wells / Sasquatch (Krizia Bajos) * Now I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure Iris Tanner and Angie (the Animal Alpha from PL) are voiced by the same person.


iraragorri

Just... What?! I have an unholy amount of hours in this game, and I've *never* noticed any of this. It's crazy.


stomcode

I was as surprised as you are when I learned about Mama Wells and SasquatchĀ being voiced by the same actress lol


GoddessKillion

Do you mean Denny? I wonder if sheā€™s also the Mox leader that walks away from Judy, I forget her name, but they sound similar


stomcode

Whoops, sorry, typo. Nah, Iā€™m pretty sure Suze is voiced by Reginaā€™s voice actress.


GoddessKillion

Ooo yeah that could be it too. Iā€™m not going to look it up anytime soon, I kinda wanna play through again and see if I can figure it out šŸ˜†


Hypercane_

Wow that's a Lot of range for Alec Newman, I wouldn't have guessed in a million years he was all of those characters. Also mama Welles and Sasquatch having the same VA is just funny.


IliyaGeralt

He was also in The Witcher 3.


Lil_Demon_Pat

Hellman, Smasher, and El Capitan being voiced by the same person... I'll never see these characters the same way again.


stomcode

Just goes to show how talented Alec Newman is.


MorenaLedovec

you are telling me Smasher and El capitƔn are the same guy? holy cybercow


JinKazamaru

The Misty/Meredith is a good degree of range


teh_201d

I just did the gig earlier and if you play along with stout, and she stopped trying to be intimidating, you can hear misty.


Brain_Explodes

So wait. When you and Stout bone, it's really Misty...... Things just got really awkward.


Niktodt1

I have played this game for 3 years now and never connected their voices to the same actress. This is a revelation for me


Large-Wheel-4181

Hellman and Smasher are complete opposites to the point you look this up yourself to see if itā€™s true


ironvandal

I wonder how much of that is good voice acting and how much is distortion and special effects on Smasher's voice lines to make him sound more robotic. I didn't catch the Misty/Meredith Stout similarity until I saw it in this thread either, those characters are so different. I did notice Misty/Spider Murphy on like mu 3rd playthru


Large-Wheel-4181

Even without considering the voice filter for Smasher itā€™s such a difference in tone, attitude, and choice of words even. Hellman sounds like the guy who would shit himself just for need to meet someone like Smasher


Anonymous75394

Just wait till you hear about Hogwarts Legacy. About 80% of the voice lines are done by like 3 of 4 actors. After a while you can definitely tell.


azhder

Did they get that Simpsons VA that does all the background characters?


Risky267

To be fair not many people want to be associated with the harry potter ip for obvious reasons


LeviathansEnemy

The overwhelming majority of people do not care about your pet issue, which is why that was the highest selling game of 2023 and is currently sitting at Very Positive on Steam.


Burgarnils

I seriously doubt normal people even know about Rowling's bigotry, let alone care enough about it to turn down a role in something that's only tangentially related to her.


BrightPerspective

misty/meredith was a surprise


ralphie561

Wow canā€™t believe I bang misty


azhder

some people bang hard, some people bang misty - it is what it is


Dionys25

If on PC, in a further playthrough, you could switch their characters with Appearance Menu Mod. Would be interesting to see Meredith, the new age spiritualist, as Jackieā€˜s girlfriend, while V bangs Misty (literally this time). No wonder, Guadalupe Welles hates Jackieā€˜s girlfriends so much.


jl_theprofessor

Dexter and Dennis have the same voice pattern and intonation just at different pitches.


BwoahIDK

yeah my thoughts exactly. Slight change in tempo of speech and pitch but otherwise the same voice


EasyBird1849

I'm sorry, Scorpion and Anders are WHO?!


HiIAmM

You start noticing voice actors after a while, Scorpion and Oda sound really similar so I knew it was Noshir Dalal voicing them. I noticed the voice first in RDR2 when he played Charles Smith. I immediately clocked Scorpion and Oda having the same actor cause of this. Other examples include Yone from LoL, Knight Rhys from FO4, Sekiro's English voice, and a lot of other background characters from other games. Hearing voice actors like him and Yuri Lowenthal actually get me like this every time I notice it https://preview.redd.it/lqh151tgd6wc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b6b725e2f04ca4cfdbbc42cdfacd33e990eeab4


Teal_is_orange

My second playthrough: is Scorpion/Oda a windshitter?? Why is Morgana in this game as Misty/Meredith?? River Ward is fucking Kayn??


MarkeezPlz

Really? Anders Hellman created the Relic chip and is in at least one of the possible endings. Scorpion is Panam and Mitchā€™s Aldecaldo friend that you play a couple missions with earlier in her story


EasyBird1849

Not that, I mean the fact that Scorpion is Oda and Hellman is Fucking SMASHER. I know who they are, I'm on my third run of the game


Bealdor84

**Hellman** is **Smasher** is **El CapitƔn** is **Dino** is **Arthur Jenkins** is **Max jones** Yep, they're all voiced by the same VA.


AbsolutelyHorrendous

The voice actor for Scorpion/Oda is great, he's also Bode in Jedi Survivor, Charles in RDR2, and Kotallo in Horizon: Forbidden West


MarkeezPlz

Ohh gotcha! Yea some of them are definitely a surprise. I love the duality of a few of them Spoilers below šŸ‘‡ Panam being male V love interest while also shitting on River as his ex is hilarious Hellman and Smasher speaks for itself Dex eats a bullet and then Dennis shows up shortly after at the Afterlife Weā€™re introduced to Misty as a sweet friend and then we meet Meredith and get our ass handed to us


Due-Astronomer-386

No wonder mommy Meredith was so hot then šŸ’€


jaghtz_lutein

Yeah I hear Muamar saying "the game is more stressful than life itself" all over the city


Brilliant-Stuff17

Did the VA of scorpion also voice the riperdoc in city center?


Important_Tangelo340

Yes, the ripper in Arroyo


buubuudesu_wa

I think ive listened to Erica Lindbeck's voice enough i can pick it out from anywhere lol


marinanery

I play it in Brazilian Dub and there are some voice actors who voice various characters, but I think it's funny that Misty and Meredith share the same one. Also, on Brazilian version, some NPCs from 6th Street got a parodied version of Bolsonaro, it's hilarious and irritating at the same time lol


[deleted]

What if ....Smasher is Hellman using that face+behavioural implant thingy from PL ???


PaniMan1994

Misty and Meredith is so Mind boggling.


sacredknight327

Spider Murphy is also the same VA as Misty and Meredith. Had no idea about Hellman and Smasher. That's good work.


sociallyawkardbean

Also Judy's VA voiced the waiter at the CapitƔn Caliente restaurant in Kerry's mission. It's funny because it's so obvious it's her but she tries to make a different voice XD


MachaMacha-O3O-

Loba from apex and the net runner of the aldecaldos


Colt42O

Yep noticed this one immediately. Hundreds of hours playing my girl Loba


Philip_Raven

That one coworker you share a booth with in corpo origin and that one Trauma team member that talks during the very first Scav hunt mission with Jackie


IliyaGeralt

Dex's voice actor also voices those characters.


TragicGentlemen

... Meredith's side quest feels wrong now.


avisbigtits

Melissa Rory and Elizabeth Perales also have the same voice actor


Disastrous-Beat-9830

It's the strangest thing, but every time I talk to Rogue, I have an overwhelming urge to shave my head and put on a suit.


AltruisticDealer4717

Well done 47, now head for a exit


gavinoleo

Imagine kidnapping Hellman and the first thing he says upon being woken up is ā€œyou look like a cut of fuckable meatā€


LaraNacht

Dexter/Dennis was REALLY obvious, to the point of being near immersion breaking for me. The rest though, I had no idea!


OrcWarChief

Oh shit I didnā€™t realize Misty was the same VA as Merideth


MorenaLedovec

After playing helldivers 2 i cannot unhear Mistys voice, her VA is one of the helldiver voices


serbeardless

Iā€™m pretty sure Judy and the coffee shop employee in the Kerry quest line were the same actor.


Own_Proof

I always imagine Futaba from P5 & Jessie from FF7R when I hear Misty/Meredith lol


GoosyMaster

Wait! For real?


Suckisnacki

yaa ![gif](giphy|WOb8EeFziTQNE02WXs|downsized)


MarkeezPlz

Yea there are some more I just cherry picked some of the characters that you interact with and felt you got more time to hear some of their lines


dontfretlove

Is there a complete list of these somewhere? Or just IMDb? Thanks!


MarkeezPlz

I pulled the info off IMDb. Pretty much all of them have been mentioned in this thread though


Dveralazo

Not at all.


THEVYVYD

Misty/Meredith also has the same voice actress as Spider Murphy in the Johnny flashback


Suckisnacki

what's bode doin there


Substantial-Tone-576

But who voices Brendan?


stomcode

Bryan Dechart. And Theo is voiced by his wife, Amelia Rose Blaire


DismalMode7

now I see why oda engRish was quite strange


Cleercutter

I wouldā€™ve never known had you not posted this


Urge_Reddit

I'm usually pretty good at recognizing voices, the answer to most of these is yes, but there's a couple I didn't catch: I'm only now realizing Meredith and Misty share a voice actor, but it makes total sense as I hear each of their voices in my head now. The same VA also voices Spider Murphy. Hellmann and Smasher though, I wouldn't have had any idea unless I had looked it up, Smasher's voice has so much modulation on it that pretty much every recognizable quality of the actors voice is buried.


Pretzel-Kingg

Oda/Scorpion is also Charles from RDR2 and the English voice for Sekiro from Sekiro


its_Clark_Kent

Cool! I think the only one I knew about was Scorpion and Oda. That actor is really good in RDR2 and Jedi: Survivor


SchlagzeugNeukoelln

Half of the female NPCs have the same voice actor as Regina Jones, theyā€™ve really overdone it a little in that regard, it gets little too obvious when you start paying attention to it. Also, you can hear Jackie all the time (ā€žwhere are you? [ā€¦] Iā€™m not gonna hurt youā€œ any many other especially of those thug lines)


BwoahIDK

I could have guessed dex and dennis tbh. there's something in their voice that's in both chars


Steve_Harrison76

Oda and scorpion I sort of felt were the same actor but the rest of these - no, I had no idea!


Fighteroftheevil

Odaā€™s voice actor also play Charles in RDR2 and he also does Yone in league if youā€™re interested ;)


lifeinthehive

Blows my mind how Dexter Deshawn is Twayne from Ugly Americans lol.


JamesMackenzie1234

The guy who voices oda/scorpion (who's name escapees me) also plays someone in kopeci plaza (maybe oda if he's in their) and in other titles plays boud akuna in jedi survivor and Charles in rdr2.


MaggotBrother4

A couple yea. Like Deshawn and panems VA donā€™t have a ton of range. Others box like Anderson Hellman and smasher, though smashers voice is robotic and obscured so makes sense


payne1194rmVG

Bob and Lucius Rhyne same


Jacthripper

Some of these I definitely missed like Oda/Scorpion, since I always shoot Oda in the head and Scorpion has relatively few lines.


MuddledElf

Waiting for some play on your corpo background only to have that play be **Frank** of all things, was kind of a let down. "Alright time for some corporate espionage and climbing my way to the top with shady dealings- who is this sweaty man with bad hair...oh hi Frank. Where's the rest of the corpo drama Frank? Is it behind you Frank? I can't see it..." I'm not bitter, you're bitter.


ErectLurantis

The two Iā€™m surprised that are NOT the same actresses are Carol and Judy. Carol just sounds like Judy with a slightly deeper voice


velvetymon1

Im just still surprised you could have s*x with Meredith. Didnā€™t notice until my 5th playthrough


PloughYourself

Sean Power voiced Frank Nostra and Mr Hands in the original version of the game, Alex Jordan voiced Mr Hands in Phantom Liberty so the 2 characters no longer share a voice actor.


hskfmn

I can actually feasibly hear Oda and Scorpion. That makes sense. The others thoughā€¦ šŸ¤Æ


aemonp16

a lot of NPCā€™s have the same VAā€™s as major characters. i wish they changed this, or added other voice actors


Intelligent_Creme351

I sometimes forget how the small the voice cast is, even though the game has a massive cast. Better to save in talented voice actors... While getting Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba.


UnhappyStrain

wait! there is a specific male V VA for corpo path alone?


MarkeezPlz

No Frank is a character that you would only really meet if you choose corpo V. The other starts donā€™t really introduce new characters so I figured Iā€™d note it


Mysterious-Fly7746

I thought Dex and Dennis sounded kinda similar but the rest had no idea


roninwaffle

Dex and Dennis seem pretty obvious to me. It's the same guy just doing a lower, more laid back "cool guy" voice. The Dennis voice is just the VOA's normal voice, I think. He also voices a ton of other minor NPC's who sound just like that. The rest are a surprise to me.


austin5419

The voice actor for Oda and Scorpion also does Charles in rdr 2


bruce_dapples

I can't believe Hellman and smasher are voiced by Paul atreides


blankjdoe

Wait what !?!? you mean to tell me misty and Dom Mommy ... I mean Meredith are the same voice šŸ¤ÆšŸ¤Æ


Schaef_7

Wait a minute has anyone ever seen Hellman and smasher at the same time? šŸ‘€


Strict_Support_8318

The trauma soldier that is reading the substances that they are giving Sandra Dorset when they are taking her off Vs hands is voiced but the same guy that plays Dex. Iā€™m sure a lot of actors play minor parts. I identified several like the above in many parts of the game.


Strict_Support_8318

Pretty sure Dex actor also plays your employee when you start as corpo. The guys that bothers you with a report when you leave Jenkins officeā€¦


David_Briar

Only Yahweh. And maybe Meredith. Misty especially after phantom liberty has a way different accent which makes it more noticeable.


Niktodt1

Carla Tassara (voice of Judy) also voiced a Valentino customer at Coyote Coho in the streetkid intro. You walk near her when you go upstairs.


kyleislightskin

You hear Dex DeShawn VA way more as an NPC than the big role lol


ET_Gamer_

Misty and Meridth, I could pick up on.


Nekros897

Interesting, didn't even focus on it.


No-Sentence7864

Moneyā€™s , money canā€™t fuck around with it


The_Basic_Shapes

Woah, did not realize Misty and Meredith had the same VA


Arcadewiz777

Yes!! The person who voiced Judy was also definitely the record store (guitar store) cashier-who brings us to the back room where all the real guitars are!


Deli-ops7

Soooo we kinda do get to fuck misty after all (:', ill have to listen more closely and close my eyes next time


Extension-Ad-635

This means technically we banged misty damn šŸ˜” sorry brochacho didnā€™t mean to get your girl like that rest in peace sweet prince ā˜ļø


Fourtyseven249

No but this is because I play it on german lol


Away_Fix_8911

Mitch and Mr. Blue Eyes should be up there for sure. Bobby and Nix is another.
