History Main / BaritoneOfStrength

** Most famous of all is [[BigGood Optimus]] [[TheHero Prime]] himself, voiced by Creator/PeterCullen. Already known for his deep voice, Cullen injected both strength and warmth into his performance as Optimus in order to properly sell the Autobot leader's status as TheAce.

** [[Characters/StreetFighterMBison M. Bison]], the FinalBoss of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' and BreakoutVillain of the series, is domineering and powerful in all of his appearances which is partly carried by the deep and gravelly voice he has.

If the strong character has a deep voice because they have superpowers, then it's PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep. If they happen to be a villain on top of being tough, then it'd be EvilSoundsDeep. The musical equivalent of this trope is BassoProfundo.

* ''Manga/DragonBall''

* ''ComicBook/{{Bone}}'': The Great Red Dragon is noted by Fone Bone as having a deep baritone voice. He's the most powerful force on the heroes' side over the course of the story, being a MysteriousProtector to Thorn and Fone Bone.

* ''Manga/FairyTail'': Erza Scarlet is among the strong of the titular guild’s wizards, and Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard lends her the contralto to match.

** Kratos himself, whether voiced by T.C. Carson or Creator/ChristopherJudge, is a OneManArmy who kills any monster or [[KillTheGod god]] that stands against him, and he speaks in a magnificent baritone (with traces of rasps once he grows older in the Norse Saga), and one of the first things we see him do in ''VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4'' is ''pick up and carry an entire fallen tree over one shoulder''.

** In the ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' Giliath Osborne has a low, booming voice [[spoiler: and as ''Cold Steel IV'' shows, he's one of the strongest people in Erebonia]]. Laura S. Arseid has an unusually deep voice for a 17-year old schoolgirl, and is one of the strongest fighters in the main party.

* ''Literature/TheHanSoloTrilogy'': Bria is described as having a surprisingly low tone to her voice, sounding husky when singing once. She ends up being a crack Rebel commando and spy (she's undercover as a lounge singer when she sings).

* ''Series/{{Yellowjackets}}'': Even as a teenage girl, Natalie has a low and husky voice. She is the most action-oriented, aggressive and outwardly hard edged of the cast.

* ''Franchise/TheLionKing'': [[BigBadScar]] has an extremely deep voice, courtesy of Creator/JeremyIrons. He can also fight off his nephew Simba [[OneManArmy on his own]] in order to [[save his skin]].

* ''Franchise/TheLionKing'': [[BigGood Mufasa]] has an extremely deep voice, courtesy of Creator/JamesEarlJones. He can also fight off several hyenas [[OneManArmy on his own]] in order to [[PapaWolf protect his son Simba]].

** Being one of strongest heroes around, All Might sports a notably deep voice in both the Japanese and English dubs, especially when he bulks up. His frequent Large Ham tendencies however tend to downplay this in more humorous scenes, but when he steps up to the plate and fights seriously, especially against his archnemesis, [[spoiler:All For One]], it goes into the lower register.

* ''Franchise/TheLionKing'': Mufasa has an extremely deep voice, courtesy of Creator/JamesEarlJones. He can also fight off several hyenas [[OneManArmy on his own]] in order to [[PapaWolf protect his son Simba]].

* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': In contrast with Mario's falsetto, VideoGame/{{Wario}} has a deep voice to emphasize both [[StoutStrength his strength]] and [[ManlyMan his macho demeanor]].
