* In ''SetoNoHanayome'', UnluckyEverydude Nagasumi turns into a [[FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]] {{expy}} while under the influence of the Song of Heroes. Or just when sufficiently pissed off.
* ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}'': Any time Yugi and his Millennium Puzzle-residing alter-ego do a MentalFusion, expect Yugi's voice to plummet faster than The Tower of Terror. This goes double for the dub, [[CompellingVoice thanks to none other than]] '''[[DanGreen DAN]] [[MemeticMutation GREEN]]!''' ([[VocalEvolution and it gets deeper over time]]). The voice is actually the Pharaoh's voice and is naturally that deep (so Yugi's just "borrowing" it) and in ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh GX}}'', [[spoiler:older!Yugi]] is shown to have the exact same voice.
** [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Hilariously]] [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in the first episode of ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series}}'' by Kaiba.

* [[FateStayNight Archer's voice in comparison to Shirou's.]]
* In ''{{Bleach}}'', this happens to Vizards when they put on their [[SuperpoweredEvilSide hollow masks]].
* In ''RosarioToVampire'', Inner Moka has a much deeper voice than Outer Moka.
* {{Naruto}}'s voice gets noticeably more deep while using Kyuubi's chakra.
* [[spoiler:Mirajane]] from ''FairyTail'' voice gets deeper while using her Take Over Satan Soul.
* Also, Sawada Tsunayoshi from ''KatekyoHitmanReborn'' when in [[TranquilFury Hyper Dying Will Mode]].

* Willow in ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' gets amped up on mystical magic powers and AlysonHannigan speaks the character with a ''slightly'' lower and slower tone and speed.

* Anyone in ''StargateSG1'', when possessed by a Goa'uld symbiote, although it's actually the Goa'ulds invoking the trope. They can use normal voices if they want to, but they want people to think that they're all-powerful gods, so they change their voice to match people's expectations.

* In ''DevilMayCry 2'', 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.

* In ''GuildWars: Nightfall'', [[spoiler:Kormir's]] voice becomes layered over a less high voice when [[spoiler:she replaces Abaddon as the God of Secrets]].
* When [[TheLegendOfZelda Link]] wears the [[EleventhHourSuperpower Fierce Deity Mask]] in ''[[TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'', he physically becomes older, and therefore his voice becomes deeper.

* In ''CastlevaniaRondoOfBlood'', Dracula's voice deepens mid-''word'' as he transforms into a massive bat-creature for the second part of the battle. Conversely, when that form is defeated, he roars in pain, and his voice spontaneously ''rises'' back to normal as his transformation is forced to revert.

* Mike Morningstar from his debut in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'', where he uses the full extent of his powers after [[TheMole revealing himself to be the villain of that episode]] and siphoning off of Gwen's mana. His skin turns gold, while his voice noticeably deepens and [[PowerEchoes gains an echo effect]]. When {{depower}}ed, Mike's voice returns to normal, but as Darkstar, it's back to said deepness.
* Both {{He-Man}} and {{She-Ra}}'s voices get significantly deeper when they do [[ByThePowerOfGreyskull their]] {{Transformation Sequence}}s. Overlaps with OlderAlterEgo.

* Also Sawada Tsunayoshi from ''KatekyoHitmanReborn'' when in [[TranquilFury Hyper Dying Will Mode]].

* Anyone in ''StargateSG1'', when possessed by a Goa'uld symbiote. Though it's actually a subversion of sorts, since they can use normal voices if they want to. It's really just to cash in on the assumption that most people assume this trope.
** Actually, it's mostly because people expect a god to have a booming voice, and that's what the Goa'uld are going for.

* Both {{He-Man|AndTheMastersOfTheUniverse}} and [[SheRaPrincessOfPower She-Ra's]] voices get significantly deeper when they do [[ByThePowerOfGreyskull their]] {{Transformation Sequence}}s. Overlaps with OlderAlterEgo.
* The SupermanTheatricalCartoons did the same thing as the radio serials(using the same actor, no less).

* Anyone in Stargate, when possessed by a Goa'uld symbiote. Though it's actually a subversion of sorts, since they can use normal voices if they want to. It's really just to cash in on the assumption that most people assume this trope.

* In ''CastlevnaiaRondoOfBlood'', Dracula's voice deepens mid-''word'' as he transforms into a massive bat-creature for the second part of the battle. Conversely, when that form is defeated, he roars in pain, and his voice spontaneously ''rises'' back to normal as his transformation is forced to revert.

* [[{{Onimusha}} Soki]] in ''[[TatsunokoVsCapcom Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]]''. For his [[LimitBreak Level 3 Hyper]], he assumes his [[DarkIsNotEvil Black Oni]] [[PhysicalGod Onimusha]] [[SuperMode form]], donning a [[MaskOfPower mask]] with {{red eyes|TakeWarning}} and a mane of white hair. His voice goes from "BoisterousBruiser" to "Holy hell! He sounds like {{Satan}}!". Said voice is also [[PowerEchoes booming]] and [[TheUnintelligible incomprehensible]], but his voice drops from bass to baritone in no time flat.

* [[spoiler:Mirajane]] from ''FairyTail'' voice gets deeper while using her Take Over Satan Soul

** Nelo Angelo (aka [[spoiler:a BrainwashedAndCrazy [[EvilTwin Vergil]]]]) has an unnaturally low voice. According to [[WordOfGod The History of DMC]], [[spoiler:[[BigBad Mundus]] destroyed Vergil's]] original body and placed his soul into an artificial, yet powerful construct. Compare this to Vergil in ''3'', where his original form had a slightly raspy, but still normal-sounding voice.
** Arius, the BigBad of ''2'' ([[{{Discontinuity}} the one nobody talks about]]), gets a deeper voice when [[spoiler:he's killed and revived as a demon by Argosax's power.]]

* Both {{He-Man|AndTheMastersOfTheUniverse}} and [[{{ptitleysua9qy1}} She-Ra's]] voices get significantly deeper when they do [[ByThePowerOfGreyskull their]] {{Transformation Sequence}}s. Overlaps with OlderAlterEgo.

* Both HeMan and SheRa's voices get significantly deeper when they do [[ByThePowerOfGreyskull their]] {{Transformation Sequence}}s. Overlaps with OlderAlterEgo.

* ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}!'': Anytime Yugi and his Millennium Puzzle-residing alter-ego do a MentalFusion, expect Yugi's voice to plummet faster than The Tower of Terror. This goes double for the dub, [[CompellingVoice thanks to none other than]] '''[[DanGreen DAN]] [[MemeticMutation GREEN]]!''' ([[VocalEvolution and it gets deeper over time]]). The voice is actually the Pharaoh's voice and is naturally that deep (so Yugi's just "borrowing" it) and in ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh GX}}'', [[spoiler:older!Yugi]] is shown to have the exact same voice.

* [[{{Onimusha}} Soki]] in ''[[TatsunokoVsCapcom Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]]''. For his [[LimitBreak Level 3 Hyper]], he assumes his [[DarkIsNotEvil Black Oni]] [[PhysicalGod Onimusha]] [[SuperMode form]], donning a [[MaskOfPower mask]] with [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] and a mane of white hair. His voice goes from "BoisterousBruiser" to "Holy hell! He sounds like {{Satan}}!". Said voice is also [[PowerEchoes booming]] and [[TheUnintelligible incomprehensible]], but his voice drops from bass to baritone in no time flat.

* When [[TheLegendOfZelda Link]] wears the [[EleventhHourSuperpower Fierce Deity Mask]] in ''[[TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'', he physically becomes older, and therefor his voice becomes deeper.
* In ''ViewtifulJoe 2'', when [[spoiler:Blade Master Alastor]] is defeated, the Black Film controls/empowers him, warping him into the even more demonic [[spoiler:Underworld Emperor Alastor]]. When the transformation is complete, his voice quickly deepens. Cue Round 2, where he has a slew of new tricks, more power and defense, and an much larger healthbar.

* ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}!'': Anytime Yugi and his Millennium Puzzle-residing alter-ego do a MentalFusion, expect Yugi's voice to plummet faster than The Tower of Terror. This goes double for the dub, [[CompellingVoice thanks to none other than]] '''[[DanGreen DAN]] [[MemeticMutation GREEN]]!''' ([[VocalEvolution and it gets deeper over time]]). There ''is'' a subversion here, as the Pharaoh's voice is naturally that deep (so Yugi's just "borrowing" it) and [[spoiler:and in ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh GX}}'', older!Yugi is shown to have the exact same voice. Then again, Yugi ''is'' Atem's {{reincarnation}}, [[ItsALongStory but we'll leave it at that]].]]

* Somewhat subverted with Willow in ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. She gets amped up on mystical magic powers but AlysonHannigan speaks the character with a ''slightly'' lower and slower tone and speed.

** Nelo Angelo (aka [[spoiler:a BrainwashedAndCrazy [[EvilTwin Vergil]]]]) has an unnaturally low voice.

When the transformation is complete, Alastor's voice quickly deepens. Cue Round 2, where Alastor has a slew of new tricks, more power and defense, and an much larger healthbar.]]

If the subject is a woman, this usually presents itself in the form of [[AudioErotica their voices sound huskier and more sensual]] (remember, PowerIsSexy), although there ''are'' cases where their voices just become deeper and booming like the men.

If pulled off correctly, [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome the results can be spectacular]].

** [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Hilariously]] [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in the first episode of ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series}}'' by Kaiba.

* This trope's roots may have sprouted from the old {{Superman}} radio dramas, in which the same voice actor used his tenor range for Clark Kent and his baritone range for the super-hero.

* When [[TheLegendOfZelda Link]] wears the [[EleventhHourSuperpower Fierce Deity Mask]] in ''[[TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'', this happens to him.

* Both HeMan and SheRa's voices get significantly deeper when they do [[ByThePowerOfGreyskull their]] {{Transformation Sequence}}s.

* TruthInTelevision, funnily enough. Men will subconsciously deepen their voices if they feel confident or superior to the person they're talking to. (And the other way around--if you feel inferior, your voice gets higher.) Has to do with establishing dominance. Hence, not only will a person with a very deep, gravely voice subconsciously be seen as a powerful individual, BEING powerful will also cause you to lower your voice without realizing it.
