There here quite a few regular voice over actors that has been doing voice over acting since they were children? Let's list those that started doing voice over acting up to the age of 13 - 15 (cut over age hard to decide, prefebely when your voice changes), and continued to do voice over acting to at least age 18.

In a lot of these cases, they were cast as children because the producers wanted a real child's voice, and they just used their own voice, as they got older they decided to make it a career, and learned how to do other voices besides their own.

Here is what I have so far.

Cree Summer
Tara Strong
Mae Whitman (though she is still kind of young, just makes the cutoff age, I made the cutoff age so she qualities, she has been doing voice overs a long time)
Olivia Hack
Fred Savage (technically yes, though I don't know if it is just a hobby to him. Some of the others has really put their heart into voice over acting. There is a difference between voice over actors and actors who happen to do voice over acting)
 
You know it is funny or ironic, for the voice over actresses at least, is a lot of their characters today are kids. They were playing kids when they where kids, and now as adults still playing kids. (though they are playing adult roles as well) The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Sometimes even beyond that, Cree Summer voiced Penny on Robot Chicken Inspector Gadget parody.
 
April Winchell did the voice of a girl named Connie on an old Rankin-Bass show called Kid Power.

Scott Menville started doing little kid voices like Richie Rich. But when Scott's voice changed, he still continued to do voices like Robin from Teen Titans and the new voice of Shaggy from Shaggy and Scooby Doo Get a Clue.
 
Thinking about it, some of the Recess Kid VAs (well the ones done by actual kids at the time anyway) grew up to still do VA work. Specifically...

Ashiley Johnson (did Gretchen for Recess and then went on do work in Teen Titans as Terra and also some VA work in Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go).

Rickey D'Shon Collins (did Vince on Recess and went on to do Tucker on Danny Phantom)
