Go To

1'''Basic Trope''': A letter's contents are spoken by its sender, despite being far away.
2* '''Straight''': Alice gets a letter from Bob, who lives in the next state, and his voice speaks the words on the page as Alice reads them.
3* '''Exaggerated''': Alice gets a letter written by Bob, Carol, and Daniel, and their voices all speak in union.
4* '''Downplayed''': Only the last few words are spoken.
5* '''Justified''':
6** The paper used is an experimental type that lets you record your voice.
7** Since Bob wrote the letter, Alice imagines his voice speaking the words.
8* '''Inverted''': Alice reads a letter from Bob, despite him being right next to her.
9* '''Subverted''': It turns out Bob was standing right behind Alice the whole time.
10* '''Double Subverted''':
11** ... and ''then'' it turns out that was an imposter of Bob.
12** Bob's appearance in the scene is only metaphorical, showing that Alice feels his presence. He fades out of the scene afterward.
13* '''Parodied''': Bob's words do not at all match up with the letter.
14* '''Zig Zagged''': Though letters appear often in the series, not all of them are read by the sender.
15* '''Averted''': The letter isn't read by Bob.
16* '''Enforced''':
17** "We need a device to make sure [[ViewersAreGoldfish the audience understands the message]]!"
18** Dubbing in Bob is easier than replacing the German letter closeup with an English one.
19* '''Lampshaded''': "Where is that voice coming from?"
20* '''Invoked''': Bob sends Alice a card with a voice chip in it with a recorded message.
21* '''Exploited''': ???
22* '''Defied''': Alice is a FourthWallObserver and tells Bob to shut up.
23* '''Discussed''': "Oh, a letter from Bob! I wonder when his voice will start talking..."
24* '''Conversed''': "You ever wonder why letters on TV shows are always read by their senders?"
