What are some characters that you can think of in which their voices didn't fit what you thought it should be
Batman The Dark Knight Returns is a movie I like, tho the Joker voice didn't really fit imo. It didn't hinder the movie, it just sounded weird from what the other portrayals of him have been.

Daws Butler's Barney Rubble always bugged me for some reason.

Every time I watch Gravity Falls after taking a break from it for awhile I have to get used to Dipper's inexplicable grown man voice. What are some characters that you can think of in which their voices didn't fit what you thought it should be Batman The Dark Knight Returns is a movie I like, tho the Joker voice didn't really fit imo. It didn't hinder the movie, it just sounded weird from what the other portrayals of him have been. Honestly I loved that version of Joker just because of how different it was. It gets pretty tiring for me just hearing everyone do a Hamill impression so I thought it was really refreshing hearing a wildly different take. Now, you want a Joker that doesn't work for me, I'd point to the Batman Ninja one where the person's clearly trying to be Hamill but sounds a lot more like Monokuma.

H Jon Benjamin is one of my favourite voice actors and I love him as Archer and the Coach from Home Movies.
But for whatever reason I just don't think his voice suits Bob from Bob's Burgers.

No disrespect intended towards Martin Burke; his voice for Sonic in the 1999 OVA just does not work. Jaleel White wasn't the most ideal voice for him in hindsight either, but he was a far better fit by comparison.

In the DIC version of GI Joe Flint shows up in his Echo Warrior toy design in a few episodes. He has a Southern accent despite never having a Southern accent in the original series.
I guess you could apply this to a lot of characters where the voice actors change including other characters in the DIC GI Joe. However, at least usually they make some attempt to sound like the original actor or at least stick to the same dialect. This one stuck out like a sore thumb.

there's no good reason at all for Maille Flanagan to continue voicing Naruto as a grown-ass man. especially when she's already voicing his son, too. this opinion also extends to the frankly baffling choice to have Goku voiced by the same woman who voiced him as a child as an adult in the original Japanese dub. it's actually one of the things that made me a hardcore dub-over-sub person permanently.

EG Daily (Tommy Pickles) as Ashley in the Mass Effect demo. They thankfully found a better fit before the game came out.

I go back and forth on Bill Murray as Baloo in the recent Jungle Book. The attitude's ok, his voice is just too high to be coming from a huge bear.

If you want some bad voice-acting, listen to the English voices for some of the characters in King of Fighters: Maximum Impact. I never would have expected Terry or Ralf to sound the way they do. Even more ridiculous was the voice for Fio in KOF2006 (AKA KOF Maximum Impact 2). I mean, yes, I know that she was the bespectacled one of the Metal Slug team, but I didn't expect her to have a stereotypical nerd voice (Was she EVEN supposed to be a nerd? For a nerd, she dresses in pretty revealing clothes if you think about it). Or maybe it was that her voice sounded too cartoony. Either way, it didn't fit her (I would have expected more of something similar to Jessie from Dead Rising 1, while Eri would have more of a female badass-type of voice).
Then again, I still crack up at Hwoarang's voice in Tekken 4.

Batman's voice in Batman: Year One was awful.

Frank Welker as Garfield. Just sounds like bored Fred.
Here's one...LINDA FEIGE AS MELISSA in The Raccoons. Susan Roman was a LOT better at what they were going for with the character in the series.

It didn't hinder the movie, it just sounded weird from what the other portrayals of him have been. Michael Emerson, who voices the Joker in TDKR, does his best Paul Lynde impression, which underscores the gay subtext that Frank Miller reads into the Joker/Batman relationship. Some Paul Lynde zingers for reference.

Mike Tyson. Yeah I know he's a real dude. Am I wrong? I mean technically he is a cartoon character too so it fits even if the real man is voicing him Speaking of which, how the hell he got a cartoon is beyond me with his rap sheet but time heals all or better yet kids just know they hear a funny voice from a guy with a tattoo on his face

Oh yeah don't get me wrong I don't mind the difference it just sounded weird to me. I liked John Dimaggio version of the Joker with the deeper voice and he was able to add menace in it. TDKR version has a soft undertone which is good but it is a weird contrast to the crazed killer he is and him killing everyone who walks in front of him

Speaking of Joker's...
I really enjoy the Red Hood animated movie except for one aspect, John DiMaggio is by no means a bad actor but he's really just playing John DiMaggio in the flick and the performance always felt off and uninspired (helped even less that they tweaked Joker's design in the movie to more resemble Ledger's Joker in a roll of the eyes moment).
I don't have any love for The Batman cartoon in general, but Kevin Michael Richardson's performance as The Joker stands out as exceptionally off in a cast that feels very miscast and like they were trying hard to sneak out of the monolithic shadow that was the Timm'verse's cast and go a more edgy 2000's route.

The original dub voice for Xellos in Slayers was atrocious. The series otherwise had a solid dub, but man did Xellos' VA suck. Funimation replaced him with Michael Sinterniklaas when they acquired the license, and he's a vast improvement.

Anyone but Lorenzo Music doing Garfield.
It's just... that's Garfield. Maybe legit the best casting ever. You can't top it.
