Actors often lend their voices to characters in games and some have made a career of it across many of the main game-manufacturing countries, mostly the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Japan. Their names have sometimes been linked to a particular character they have voiced.

Notable video game voice actors include [[Maaya Sakamoto]] (the Japanese version of [[Lightning (Final Fantasy)|Lightning]] in ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]''),<ref>{{cite video game|title=[[Final Fantasy XIII]]|developer=[[Square Enix]]|Publisher=Square Enix |date=9 March 2010 |platform=[[PlayStation 3]], [[Xbox 360]] }}</ref> [[Tatsuhisa Suzuki]] (Noctis Lucis Caelum in ''[[Final Fantasy XV]]''), [[Miyu Irino]] (the Japanese version of Sora in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' series), [[David Hayter]] ([[Solid Snake]] and [[Big Boss (Metal Gear)|Big Boss]] in the ''[[Metal Gear]]'' series), [[Steve Downes]] and [[Jen Taylor]] ([[Master Chief (Halo)|Master Chief]] and [[Cortana (Halo)|Cortana]] in the ''[[Halo series|Halo]]'' series), [[Nolan North]] ([[Nathan Drake (character)|Nathan Drake]] in the ''[[Uncharted]]'' series and [[Desmond Miles]] in the ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' series), [[Troy Baker]] ([[Joel (The Last of Us)|Joel]] in ''[[The Last of Us]]'' series) and [[Charles Martinet]] (former voice actor for [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Wario]], and [[Waluigi]] in [[Nintendo]]'s ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise).{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}
