This is more likely to happen to male characters, though female characters can also be victims. A common gag is for a nervous character to voice-crack as they say something, then clear their throat and repeat it in a deliberately much deeper voice. When it happens in drama (film/TV), it can be a signifier of fear, sadness or any other kind of emotional distress that causes the voice to crack when the person speaks. In music, it's often considered an EpicFail for singers.

--->'''Gordon''': Missy! If you sauté scallops in a non-stick pan, they won't stick! That's why it's called '''[[SuddenlyShouting FUCKING NON-]]''[[SuddenlyShouting STIIICK!]]''''' I don't know what non-stick means in Texas, sweetheart, but FUCK ME!"

* ''VideoGame/{{Ultrakill}}'': When encountering Gabriel for the second time at the bottom of the Heresy layer, he explodes into a furious rant about how V1 and his kind have utterly destroyed the preceding layers. The speech culminates in Gabriel's voice cracking as he screams about how he'll relish grinding V1 into dust - justifiably, as it's thanks to V1 that [[spoiler:Gabriel has less than 24 hours before his divine light fades and kills him for good]].

* The Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter” - one of their most famous songs - has a moment at the end of the third hook where Merry Clayton’s voice cracks as she screams “Rape, murder, it’s just a shot away”. Arguably a subversive example of this trope, considering it’s become well loved by music fans and considered a classic moment.

* Possible unintentional example in the first ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'', when [[spoiler:Trish]] seemingly dies Dante [[PietaPlagiarism cradles her in his arms]] and screams. In the middle of his yell, his voice cracks. Intentional or no, it [[NarmCharm works]] as it conveys just how heartbroken Dante is over the incident.

* ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'': After Bond and Jones are spotted in bed together by MI6 satellites, M's voice cracks when she says "007!".

* The famous "Dean Scream" was one of these. At the end of a long and enthusiastic speech, Howard Dean let out a loud "YEAAAAAH!" The only problem: his voice broke ''right'' in the middle of the "yeah", making it sound utterly bizarre. The Internet, naturally, jumped on it.

* ''WesternAnimation/KipoandtheAgeofWonderbeasts'' has Kipo hysterically ranting about her newly discovered mutant powers to a very uncomfortable Jamack, including the previously unmentioned fact that she can now smell ''everything''.
