History Main / PowerEchoes

* Just about ''everyone'' in ''Anime/DragonBallZ''.
* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' in all its incarnations echoes [[CallingYourAttacks attack names.]] Can become {{Narm}}ish if the attack (or its name) is something that's [[MartialArtsAndCrafts particularly un-badass]].

* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' the Vizard [[spoiler: including Ichigo]] get this when they put on their [[SuperMode Hollow masks]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Bionicle}} 2: Legends of Metru Nui'', [[BigBad Makuta]] delivers his line "Come. Join my brothers and me" with an echo effect added over his voice. In most dubs, though, they simply enhanced his [[GutturalGrowler already deep]], robotic tone to create a wholly different effect.

** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesKuroNoKiseki'' Shizuna Rem Misurugi also has an echo after revealing that she knows Spirit Unification after seeing Rean use it once in a side story from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsIntoReverie''.

* In ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'', Celestine can produce this effect by magically amplifying her voice.

* In ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', there is a flashback to Ted's days as Dr. X, a pseudo-revolutionary radio host. It is basically just Ted in front of a microphone, so he doesn't have any sort of effects and does the echoes himself. "X marks the spot-ot-ot-ot-ot."

* In ComicBook/PowerGirl fanfic ''Fanfic/AForceOfFour'', [[WarGod Mars]]' voice is definitely booming.
-->"Stop," said Mars, in a voice that might have reverberated throughout his entire world, somehow.

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'': a number of the more powerful characters do this when they're really cutting loose, and mostly when they're possessed - [[spoiler: the Phoenix, especially the Dark Phoenix]] is a particular example.
* In ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'', when [[spoiler:Yui uses the power stolen from the [[EldritchAbomination Elder Gods]] to ascend to godhood]], her voice echoes when she talks.

** ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien Ultimate Alien]]'': Aggregor's voice sounds deeper after his transformation.

* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing'':
** Gandalf's voice gets deep and echoes when he declares: "'''''BILBO BAGGINS --'' DO NOT TAKE ME FOR SOME CONJUROR OF ''CHEAP TRICKS!!'' I AM ''NOT'' TRYING TO ROB YOU!'''"''' Also: '''''"'''YOU... SHALL NOT... ''PASS!!!'''''"
** Heard when Saruman is chanting [[http://www.elvish.org/gwaith/sounds/saruman_spell.wav the spell]] to "bring down the mountain" on the Fellowship in the Pass of Caradhras.

* PowerEchoes: Midnight talks this way. Or at least talked, until Twilight demaned from her to stop. After that, her voice changed from an ethereal echo to just smug and sultry.

* In ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'', when [[spoiler:Yui uses the power stolen from the [[EldritchAbomination Elder Gods]] to ascend to godhood]], her voice echoes when she talks.
* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': When Rei faced Kaworu and taped into her hidden power, her voice reverberated.

* ''Anime/MaiOtome'': "MATERIALIZE!"

* Spell incantations in ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' anime are said in Japanese and dubbed in Latin, making it sound echo-y.

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''

* Inverted in [[DawnOfWar Dawn of War II]], as powerfully Chaos-aligned characters tend to have a reverse-reverb to their voices; in other words, you hear the echoes ''before'' they start talking!

When a character speaks not with an echo but with multiple voices simultaneously, that's VoiceOfTheLegion.

A subtrope of this is when a character speaks not with an echo but [[VoiceOfTheLegion with multiple voices simultaneously.]] Often this is because they're channelling spirits, using the power of many beings, or are some form of [[IAmLegion composite entity]]. This is likely related to the phenomenon of characters switching voices as well as bodies in FreakyFriday situations.

** Gandalf's voice gets deep and echoes when he declares: "'''''BILBO BAGGINS --'' DO NOT TAKE ME FOR SOME CONJUROR OF ''CHEAP TRICKS!!'' I AM ''NOT'' TRYING TO ROB YOU!'''" Also: "'''YOU... SHALL NOT... ''PASS!!!'''''"

* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': The [[OurElvesAreBetter Eldar]], whenever they speak, have a slight metallic echo to their voices. It's not explained why that is.

* Spoofed in an episode of ''Disney/{{Hercules}}: The Animated Series'', in which the [[CrossoverCosmology Egyptian god Ra]] speaks with power echoes, but after a while, presses a button on his staff that turns it off. He felt that while good for introduction, the echoing tends to grate on you.

* In ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' there is a flashback to Ted's days as Dr. X, a pseudo-revolutionary radio host. It is basically just Ted in front of a microphone, so he doesn't have any sort of effects and does the echoes himself. "X marks the spot-ot-ot-ot-ot"

** Death's voice in the AnimatedAdaptation of the novel ''Discworld/WyrdSisters'' echoes with power constantly. This is a substitute for his voice in the books, which is rendered [[AC:Like This]], and is described to sound "like a lead weight in your mind."
** Also used in the animated adaptation of ''Discworld/SoulMusic''. Of course, since he's voiced by Creator/ChristopherLee, there's really no need for an echo.
** The same effect is used in the MadeForTVMovie of ''Discworld/{{Hogfather}}''.

* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'':
