History Main / PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep

SisterTrope to PowerEchoes and BaritoneOfStrength, and the neutral cousin of EvilSoundsDeep and VoiceOfTheLegion. A SecretIdentityVocalShift may appear to be this if the voice for the superhero identity is deeper than their civilian version (which is usually the case). See also HeavyVoice.

* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': When Rei uses her hidden power, her voice becomes throatier and deeper, and she actually [[GutturalGrowler growls]].

** In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry2'' ([[CanonDiscontinuity the one]] [[FanonDiscontinuity nobody talks about]]), when Dante's [[DesperationAttack health is at critical levels]] (his lifebar will be flashing red), activating his [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] will cause Dante to morph into a stronger, bigger, [[NighInvulnerability invincible]] alternate form (Devil Trigger Majin Form) able to mow do ''anything'' in the game with ease. While all of Dante's Devil Triggers [[PowerEchoes echo]] ([[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness except for in the first game]]), this one has a much deeper, demonic sounding voice.

** The [=CPUs=] and CPU Candidates' voices generally become deeper after transforming into their goddess forms. Some of them are more or less {{Older Alter Ego}}s to their human forms, but rather than just gaining a more mature voice, the pitch of their voices get drastically lower. While in [[Creator/AoiYuuki Yellow Heart's]] case, her voice really just only becomes more mature, for characters like [[Creator/RieTanaka Purple Heart]] and [[Creator/KanaHanazawa Iris Heart]] it is more than that. Particularly seen in Neptune/Purple Heart's case; the older version of Neptune doesn't reach Purple Heart's low voice even at the slightest.
** This trope only appears subtly to [[Creator/YuiHorie Purple Sister]] and [[Creator/YuiOgura White Sister Rom]]. Their goddess forms have still very high voices and the change is not nearly noticeable like the other two CPU Candidates, but you can hear more confidence and a ''very slightly'' lower pitch in their voices. In White Sister Rom's case, her voice also becomes a bit [[AnIcePerson frostier]].
*** White Sister Rom's has become deeper since ''VideoGame/MegadimensionNeptuniaVII'', thanks to VocalEvolution.
** Inverted with [[Creator/AsamiImai Black Heart]] in the first two games, and averted in the third, then played straight since ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaReBirth1''.
** Inverted with Orange Heart, whose voice becomes much higher and girlier, as her voice is already deep and tomboyish in her human form. The Planeptune [=CPUs=] (not counting the CPU Candidate Purple Sister) generally have a huge character change after transforming. While Purple Heart becomes more serious, stoic and tough, and Iris Heart becomes more dangerous and (sexually) aggressive, Orange Heart becomes softer, more cheerful and girlier.

SisterTrope to PowerEchoes, BadassBaritone and ContraltoOfDanger, and the neutral cousin of EvilSoundsDeep and VoiceOfTheLegion. It's not ''quite'' the same as BadassBaritone, although these two tropes aren't mutually exclusive. A SecretIdentityVocalShift may appear to be this if the voice for the superhero identity is deeper than their civilian version (which is usually the case). See also HeavyVoice.

** There are some clever {{justified|Trope}} examples in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E5TheRobotsOfDeath "The Robots of Death"]], when the Doctor gets Leela to release helium into a room in order to rob Taren of his CompellingVoice. He takes full command of the situation, the villain and Leela get really squeaky and the Doctor mocks them for it, but his own voice remains as [[BadassBaritone deep and velvety]] as ever (Power ''Keeps'' Your Voice Deep). Apparently, being a Time Lord gives him 'a larynx that can put up with anything', though RuleOfCool is the obvious [[WatsonianVersusDoylist Doylist factor]]. We also get Lack of Power Makes Your Voice High, as the amount of gas and thus the effect of the helium on Taren's voice increases as Taren loses control of his robots and thus his power, until he literally squeaks himself to death.

* Mirajane Strauss from ''Manga/FairyTail'' voice gets deeper while using her Take Over Satan Soul.

* [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Honoka Yukishiro]] and [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Nozomi Yumehara]] from the ''Anime/PrettyCure franchise'' get noticeably deeper voices in their Cure forms, Cure White and Cure Dream, respectively. [[Anime/DokiDokiPrettyCure Aguri Madoka]], too, but in her case, it's justified because Cure Ace is her OlderAlterEgo.

** In the book, her normal speaking voice is described as "clear and musical, but deeper than woman's wont."

* [[OlderThanTelevision This trope's roots may have sprouted from]] the radio drama ''Radio/TheAdventuresOfSuperman'', in which the same voice actor used his tenor range for Clark Kent and his baritone range for the superhero. Most exemplified when, in order to show that Clark Kent was changing outfits, the voice actor would start out in his Clark Kent tenor saying "This looks like a job," then his voice would drop nearly an octave and he'd finish with "for Superman!" This may have been the inspiration for the trope cropping up in other works as part of how Clark maintains his SecretIdentity with [[ClarkKenting no props except the glasses]].

* {{Inverted|Trope}} in the ''Eskimo Bob'' episode "The Swarm." When Yuck absorbs all his clones and takes on his OneWingedAngel form, his voice actually becomes ''more'' high-pitched.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}: When the Quiet One uses the Oni Mask of Hatred, it grants invulnerability and makes their voice lower.

* In the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, Tyrone Johnson's voice became much lower when he changed to his [[ComicBook/CloakAndDagger Cloak]] superhero identity.

* Some incarnations of Franchise/{{Superman}} actually do this as a deliberate affectation to make himself sound less like Clark Kent.

* Blackheart from the movie ''Film/GhostRider'' gets this magical power once he summons 1000 souls into his body. That may have been the only benefit from the whole deal; unless standing around getting blown up so you can slowly reform again is highly sought after in demon society.
