* ''Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious'':
** Main character Dominic Toretto himself, played by Creator/VinDiesel, is a highly-skilled street racer, mechanic, and thief, with a [[BaldHeadOfToughness bald head]], a HeroicBuild, a [[MadeOfIron durability that borders on superhuman]], and a deep voice that growls like the engines of one of his cars. And Dom's voice has become even more growly as Vin Diesel has aged. In terms of strength, he can snap a man's neck with one punch after choke-slamming that man onto the hood of a car and holding him down.
** Deckard Shaw also counts. A [[HeelFaceTurn formerly]]-EvilBrit, with an equally bald head, who speaks with the low, gravelly voice of Creator/JasonStatham. Shaw is a former black ops agent turned rogue whose EstablishingCharacterMoment is engaging in a brutal punch-up with DSS Agent Luke Hobbs (who, by the way, is played by the much-bigger Creator/DwayneJohnson), in which he survives being punched, tackled, and slammed through glass walls and tables, and gives Hobbs as good as he gets in return. He's certainly tough enough that by the eighth film, he's confident enough to taunt the big man when they're both ConvenientlyCellmates:
-->'''Shaw:''' I mean, [[DidYouActuallyBelieve do you really believe]] you can stand in front of me, and beat me in a [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen straight-up, old-fashioned fistfight]]?!
-->'''Hobbs:''' Let me tell you something: ''Me and you, one-on-one, no-one else around!'' '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis I will beat! Your ass! Like a Cherokee drum!]]'''
-->'''Shaw:''' ''[[BringIt Maybe one day we'll find out]].''

** Throughout the series, a deep, gravelly voice is a trait of male Dunmer (Dark Elves), whose homeland of Morrowind is one of Tamriel's most inhospitable provinces surrounding an active volcano. They are noted by outsiders, including the [[BadassArmy Imperial Legion]], for their toughness having repulsed multiple invasions throughout history by numerically superior forces and ultimately only joining the Third Empire as a VoluntaryVassal with special privileges. Even their women have deeper voices than those of other races. The only exception is ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' where, owing to the limited voice cast, all male Dunmer share the same high-pitched voice as the other [[OurElvesAreDifferent races of Mer]].
** St. Jiub is a Dunmeri saint first encountered by the PlayerCharacter of ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]''. By the time of ''Oblivion'', he has been canonized for driving Morrowind's reviled Cliff Racers to extinction but was killed during the Oblivion Crisis. His spirit can be encountered in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]''[='s=] ''Dawnguard'' DLC where ''Morrowind'' voice actor Jeff Baker returns to provide the same voice (as opposed to the rest of the male Dunmer in ''Skyrim'' who use a still-deep but less-raspy voice with an OopNorth accent), calling attention to his toughness as a character.

to:
* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'': Series BigBad Master Xehanort is monstrously strong, clever, and is singlehandedly responsible for every misery in the series for the whole of the Dark Seeker Saga. His voice is accordingly very raspy and sinister, no matter who his voice actor is. It was most pronounced while he was voiced by Creator/LeonardNimoy. After Nimoy DiedDuringProduction and Creator/RutgerHauer took over, Xehanort's raspiness was dialled back for ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', though it was still audible. ''Then'' Hauer died and was replaced by Creator/ChristopherLloyd for ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIIIReMind'', who strikes more of a middle ground in terms of raspiness.

There are various ways to make a character sound strong or tough. Writers often give a [[BaritoneOfStrength deep voice]], while other writers give them a raspy voice.
In the latter case, the characters have a distinct rasp to their voice. They could be an OldMaster whose voice cracked some time ago. They could just be young fighter who have a naturally raspy voice. Regardless of gender, raspy voices are a good way to signal that this character are very hardened as far as combat is concerned.
Often overlaps with BaritoneOfStrength. See also EvilSoundsRaspy (for when evil characters are signaled by them having a raspy voice) and TomboyishVoice (a girl with a raspy voice to signal her being a {{Tomboy}}).
