 In flashbacks, it is customary for characters to have different voice actors if they're shown significantly younger. This either involves Children Voicing Children or Crossdressing Voices where a woman voices a young boy.
This trope is about exceptions to the rule. It's about when a character's voice actor stays the same in flashbacks, or more rarely when a young character's voice actor plays them as an adult. This usually doesn't cause issues if it's a female character, or if the character is an adult in all scenes; however, male ones can cause Vocal Dissonance easily. If a male character is voiced by an adult man even in flashbacks, then his voice is usually too deep, while on the opposite side boys who are voiced by women but keep their voice actresses even past puberty often come off as high-pitched sounding.
In works with multiple installments where the characters are voiced in different eras by different actors, this is usually the consequence of a previous installment's voice actor not being available for the newest installments.
Compare Dawson Casting, Flashback with the Other Darrin. Sister trope to Voices Are Mental.
