He immediately turns into ''[[spoiler: Music/WeirdAlYankovic]]'', at which point none of the Titans can take him seriously anymore.

** Le Quack and Katz have very smooth and deep voices. They're also evil and recurring foes of Courage.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheCrumpets'' episode "Amnesia", Ms. [=McBrisk=]'s voice is heard with a brief deep voice effect as she arrives for the clash with Ma Crumpet over the custody of King.

** Also briefly with [[spoiler: Sam]] when Undergrowth brainwashes her. Not only is it deeper, it's ''seductive''.

* ''Franchise/{{DCAU}}'':
** [[WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries Darkseid]], [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague once again]], this time courtesy of Creator/MichaelIronside. His son Kalibak also has a very deep voice; it helps that he's voiced by Creator/MichaelDorn. Then there's [[Creator/KeithDavid Despero...]]
** Granny Goodness, who, being voiced by Creator/EdwardAsner, has a voice deeper than any normal woman.
** John Dee's voice was rather nasal initially, but as soon as he got his DreamWeaver powers and became Doctor Destiny one of the first things he changes about his avatar in others' dreams was his voice, made to sound ''much'' deeper.
* Officer Shallowgrave on ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''. It's even {{lampshade|Hanging}}d by Cosmo.
* Inverted in the animated version of ''WesternAnimation/{{Flash Gordon|1979}}''; Ming the Merciless has a somewhat high-pitched and nasal voice[[note]]it's pretty much the same voice Alan Oppenheimer would use a few years later for Skeletor[[/note]], while Flash's loyal ally Thun the Lion Man speaks in a deep growl.
* Killface, from ''WesternAnimation/FriskyDingo'', who is also electronically deepened.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', Morbo the Annihilator subverts this by having a deep voice and an expressed desire for destruction of all of humankind, but only works as a news anchor.

* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}''. Not only does Goliath have a deeper voice than the [[BigBad main antagonist]], but he has the deepest voice in the entire primary cast. Played completely straight with Goliath's EvilTwin, Thailog.
* Both subverted and played straight in ''Franchise/GIJoe''; [[BigBad Cobra Commander]] has a very high pitched, whiny voice, while [[TheDragon Destro]] has a suitably deep one and [[TheBrute Zartan]]'s is relatively normal, but with an electronic echo effect that makes it sound louder than it is.
** Played straight in [[Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra the live action movie]], where the Doctor [[spoiler:who later upgrades to the Commander]] pulls the deepest and most menacing voice he can do.
*** Same goes for the sequel, ''Film/GIJoeRetaliation''.
* Inverted in ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'', where Skeletor's voice gets rather shrieky, complete with cackling, after he loses his face. Played straight with Marzo, when being freed from his dwarfing curse.
** Played straight in the Italian dub of [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse2002 the 2002 version]], where Skeletor's voice sounds like a deep growl.
* [[WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget Dr. Claw]]. (Unless the voice comes from excessive chain-smoking, and he just puts the echo on for effect...)
* Darkseid ''(again)'' in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'', this time voiced by Jonathan Adams -- the same guy who voiced Vaatu in ''The Legend Of Korra'' (see below).
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': The show's VillainProtagonist, [[CatsAreMean Mr. Cat]], has the deepest voice of all the characters and sounds like an adult despite [[YoungerThanTheyLook being less than 13 years old.]] Olaf the emperor penguin, another antagonist, also has a deep voice and sounds like a grown man. The trope is averted with Stumpy and Pretty, whose voices are high-pitched.
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'': "Rufus In Show" subverts this with the villainous Falsetto Jones who was caught in a "freak helium accident" that ''raised'' his voice's pitch.
** Warhok, the BigBad of the GrandFinale, is the rare KP villain who actually does have a deep voice. Makes sense, as he's voiced by Creator/RonPerlman.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra,'' evil is deeper than the bottom of the ocean. Given that [[BigBad Amon]] and his [[TheDragon Lieutenant]], are voiced by Creator/SteveBlum and Creator/LanceHenriksen. Which is ''exactly'' as awesome as it sounds.
** Not to mention non-equalist bad guys, [[spoiler: Tarrlok and his father Yakone]].
** Now there's [[GodOfEvil Vaatu]], who may have the deepest voice in the series.
** The [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender previous series]] had Firelord Ozai, with possibly vary small traces of the GutturalGrowler.
* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'':
** [[BigBad Hawk Moth]]'s voice is noticeably deeper than that of his civilian identity, [[spoiler:Gabriel Agreste]]. Since his SuperEmpowering requires him to converse with his victims and get them to agree to become his minions, he most likely does it to prevent anyone from recognizing him by his normal voice. [[spoiler:His civilian identity is quite famous, after all]].
** In "Sandboy", Cat Noir's nightmare made real of a Ladybug who hates him and tries to kill him has a far deeper and more growly voice than the genuine article.
* Subverted by King Nixel in ''WesternAnimation/{{Mixels}}''. He has a deep and threatening voice...when he's in his battle armor. Strip that away, along with his voice-changing mustache, and he has a voice that's just as high pitched-and whiny as his minions, who he matches in size.
* Latanya Hippo from ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'' may not be evil but she does talk in a deep, scary demonic voice especially when she is angry. It was later revealed that she's an alien named Hipeon in drag.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' provides a couple of examples:
** [[FallenAngel Nightmare Moon]] of the pilot has a pretty deep voice and a great EvilLaugh. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by the fact that her larger stature (roughly 1.5 times the size of the main characters) would give her longer vocal cords, and thus a lower-pitched voice.
** [[EvilOverlord King Sombra]] of the Season 3 opener has probably the deepest voice of any character in the series. [[TheSilentBob The rare times he does speak, anyway.]]
** In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'', [[EvilCounterpart Sunset Shimmer]] has a notably deeper voice than the other girls, and retains it even after her HeelFaceTurn.
** At first in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E25TwilightsKingdomPart1 Twilight's Kingdom, Part 1]]", Lord Tirek's voice is frail and old, but he later gains a deep, booming voice as he returns to his original power.
** Two of the [[TerribleTrio Dazzlings]] in ''Rainbow Rocks'', Adagio Dazzle and Aria Blaze, have alto-range voices, but Sonata Dusk subverts this trope with her ValleyGirl-esque soprano voice.
** Season 8 gives us Chancellor Neighsay, the [[FantasticRacism deeply prejudiced]] EEA head that takes full advantage of Creator/MauriceLaMarche's famous Orson Welles voice. [[spoiler: This enhances his role as a massive RedHerring compared to actual Season 8 villain, [[EnfantTerrible Cozy Glow]].]]
* The Beast in ''WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall'', voice provided by operatic bass Samuel Ramey.
* WesternAnimation/{{Pete}} in most of his appearances is this, especially the ones where Creator/JimCummings or Arthur Burghardt provide his voice. Meanwhile his longtime antagonist MickeyMouse has a very ''high'' voice, as does Pete's [[ExtremeDoormat walked-upon]] NiceGuy son, PJ from ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop.'' Interestingly enough, PJ didn't ''always'' have a high voice -- [[CharacterizationMarchesOn in his prototype]] EnfantTerrible form, his voice was far too low to make sense for a child his age, making him an example too.
* In the early ''ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}'' shorts, Bluto's voice was baritone. Especially notable if he were being played by Gus Wickie.
* Inverted with the villainous HIM from ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', who normally speaks in a creepy falsetto voice. But when he gets serious/angry/just wants to be extra dramatic, his voice goes from high-pitched to really deep and growly.
* Aku, nemesis of ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack''. As his voice actor {{Creator/Mako}} once put it, "Evil comes from the ''belly''."
* Heihu, the demonic BigBad of ''WesternAnimation/ShaolinWuzang'', even though he's [[DemonicPossession possessing]] a woman's body.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'', Hordak has a fairly deep and intimidating baritone, courtesy of Keston John. Shadow Weaver also has a silky alto voice, courtesy of Lorraine Toussaint.
* Sideshow Bob from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. Creator/KelseyGrammer gives him a chilling deep voice, which makes it all the more appropriate for Bob.
* In the same vein as Dr. Claw, there's Dr. Robotnik in ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM''. Easily the most intimidating incarnation of the character, his dramatically reverberating voice usually stayed at the level of a whisper (at least in the first season), but its menacingly low tones are among the most memorable aspects of the series.
* Even though he's very small, Plankton of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' has a very deep baritone voice.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'': In "Terminal Provocations", Badgey's voice drops a couple of octaves when he says "hurt you" to Rutherford.
* [[DarkActionGirl Asajj Ventress]] from ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'' has a deep, gravelly voice.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}'': Darkseid has a deep, rough voice, courtesy of Frank Welker.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'', the Shredder has a nice deep voice with a Japanese accent, which, while wearing his armor, sounds like it echoes robotically. [[BlobMonster Sh'Okanabo's]] voice in Fast Forward, of course, is surprisingly deeper than that of the Shredder. It even has an almost alien-like echo added to it (which is no surprise as Black Doom from ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'' [[Creator/SeanSchemmel sounds exactly like him]]).
** [[SmugSnake Darius Dun]] has a nice deep voice as well, complete with a British accent.
** The Shredder's baritone was retained in the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 2012 series]], courtesy of Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson.
* When [[{{Satan}} Trigon]], the main villain of the fourth season of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', had to be even more evil and threatening than [[BigBad Slade]], the creators decided that he also had to have an even deeper voice than Slade's already quite deep CreepyMonotone.
* Darkseid's example is famous enough to be outright parodied on ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'': when he first appears, he has a deep, echoing, [[GutturalGrowler gravelly]] voice that leaves the Titans quaking in fear...until Starfire offers him a lozenge for his sore throat. He immediately turns into ''[[spoiler: Music/WeirdAlYankovic]]'', at which point none of the Titans can take him seriously anymore.
* [[BigBad Mumm-Ra]] of the ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats''.
* When not pretending to be Mike, his evil personality, Mal, in ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama All-Stars'' speaks with the VoiceOfTheLegion (complete with reverb, sometimes).
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
** ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' averted it with Megatron and Starscream both having very high, whiny voices (Starscream's being much higher than Megatron's). In fact, there were a number of Decepticons with high-pitched voices, while others had particularly deep voices, such as Thundercracker (deep but somewhat "normal" otherwise), Dirge (very deep and droning, befitting his name), and Motormaster (gravelly with an undercurrent of rage).
** In ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie'', Unicron played it very straight, with his voice about as deep as you can get. Galvatron's voice in the movie was also much deeper than Megatron's (switching from Creator/FrankWelker to Creator/LeonardNimoy), though it was subverted with Galvatron post-movie as he spent months in a pool of plasma going insane, and his voice (again provided by Welker) is actually higher-pitched than Megatron's. In both TheMovie and post-movie episodes, Cyclonus and Scourge have deep voices as well.
** Inverted in G1 in that some of the Autobots are known for their deep voices, particularly [[BigGood Optimus Prime]] and [[TheChosenOne Rodimus Prime]], both of whom have deeper voices than their pre-Prime identities of Orion Pax and Hot Rod.
** ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' Megatron features a rich, deep vocal performance courtesy of Creator/DavidKaye, ''yessss''. Kaye used the same voice for Anime/UnicronTrilogy Megatron, but without BW Megatron's VerbalTic.
** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' Megatron dives into the UncannyValley with how deep and almost artificial-sounding his voice is. His most loyal servant Lugnut also has a deep voice, and [[NoIndoorVoice wants you to know it]]. Starscream is still high and scratchy despite being a bigger threat to more people than before. [[PsychoForHire Lockdown]] has Creator/LanceHenriksen[='s=] voice, and it wouldn't be surprising if he [[CreepySouvenir actually took it from Lance Henriksen.]]
** [[Film/{{Transformers}} The live-action movie]] played it straight by making Megatron's voice very deep as well as Barricade's. Movie Starscream is the first incarnation of 'Screamer to have a very deep voice as well -- though ''ever so slightly'' higher than the others.
*** Galvatron's voice in [[Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction the fourth movie]] was Frank Welker, and the performance has been noted for its similarity to the voice he used for Megatron in ''Transformers: Prime'' (see below).
** Welker's performance as Megatron in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' is nothing like his G1 voice, much deeper and subdued, and [[VocalEvolution much more intimidating as a result.]]
*** Most of the Decepticons from ''Prime'' have some very deep voices, in fact. Dreadwing and Shockwave are perhaps the deepest, but even ''[[AgentPeacock Knock Out]]'' has a deep voice! Starscream's voice is still higher-pitched, but less so than in G1 or ''Animated'', particularly on those rare occasions when he's not panicking or groveling. The Predacons also have deep voices, especially Predaking when he reveals his voice.
*** As is traditional, the ''Prime'' portrayal of Unicron also possesses a deep, imposing voice... In fact, this portrayal of Unicron gets the type of voice typically used for {{God}}, which is somewhat unsettling.
** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise'' also has a number of Decepticons with deep voices, including the suave baritone of [[BigBad Steeljaw]] and the gruff [[BrooklynRage New York accent]] of Thunderhoof. Special mention goes to Megatronus, who sounds like they're trying to conceal his voice actor's identity.
* Whenever [[WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder Lord Dominator]] is fully wearing her armor, her voice turns low and growly, courtesy of Creator/FredTatasciore.
* ComicBook/VandalSavage, BigBad (or at least the founder of the group that collectively forms the BigBad) of the first season of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' has a very deep, growling voice.
** Black Beetle from the second season has an even deeper voice (and that's [[Creator/KevinGrevioux his voice actor]]'s actual voice), as does Mongul, who is voiced by Creator/KeithDavid.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Zeroman}}'': The Castrato's voice drops multiple octaves once he gets the Zero Suit. [[spoiler:It returns to normal after he gets [[GroinAttack hit in the crotch]] with a shoe.]]
----
* In ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', it's revealed that Steve's obese friend Barry has to take medication to, essentially, not be evil. When Barry's off his meds, his voice gets deeper and acquires a CreepyMonotone... and a [[EvilBrit British accent]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'', after time traveling, Jake finds out that as a teenager, his ArchEnemy the Huntsman had an incredibly high, crackly voice and was taunted by the entire Huntsclan for it. After an incident with a Kraken, he developed the voice that most magical creatures fear.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'': Silco speaks with a deep and chilling tone for the most part.
* As his ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' counterpart, ComicBook/{{Thanos}} on ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'' has a deep voice.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'':
** Unlike other versions, ComicBook/TheJoker had this going on, thanks to being voiced by Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson.
** Solomon Grundy was voiced by Creator/KevinGrevioux, who voiced the aforementioned [[Film/Underworld2003 Raze]] and [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice Black Beetle]]. [[spoiler:However, this was Clayface in disguise and Creator/SteveHarris's voice as Ethan Bennett/Clayface isn't near as deep.]]
* Darkseid's DCAU voice-actor Creator/MichaelIronside also did the voice of ''Comicbook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns'' Batman in the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "Legends of the Dark Knight".
* Belphegor, the antagonist of the ''Belphegor'' series, voiced by Denis Mercier (who sounds like a mix between Creator/SteveBlum and Dr. Claw, if they spoke French). His voice is always deep, even when screaming or talking loudly. A small example can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G650-1H8Er0 here]].
* ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'':
** When the mattress demon possesses Muriel, her voice becomes deep and masculine.
** Le Quack and Katz have very smooth and deep voices. They're also evil and recurring foes of Courage.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheCrumpets'' episode "Amnesia", Ms. [=McBrisk=]'s voice is heard with a brief deep voice effect as she arrives for the clash with Ma Crumpet over the custody of King.
* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''
** [[WesternAnimation/TheUltimateEnemy Dark Danny]].
** Also briefly with [[spoiler: Sam]] when Undergrowth brainwashes her. Not only is it deeper, it's ''seductive''.
* One of the differences between WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck and his EvilTwin Negaduck is the latter's deeper voice.
* ''Franchise/{{DCAU}}'':
** [[WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries Darkseid]], [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague once again]], this time courtesy of Creator/MichaelIronside. His son Kalibak also has a very deep voice; it helps that he's voiced by Creator/MichaelDorn. Then there's [[Creator/KeithDavid Despero...]]
** Granny Goodness, who, being voiced by Creator/EdwardAsner, has a voice deeper than any normal woman.
** John Dee's voice was rather nasal initially, but as soon as he got his DreamWeaver powers and became Doctor Destiny one of the first things he changes about his avatar in others' dreams was his voice, made to sound ''much'' deeper.
* Officer Shallowgrave on ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''. It's even {{lampshade|Hanging}}d by Cosmo.
* Inverted in the animated version of ''WesternAnimation/{{Flash Gordon|1979}}''; Ming the Merciless has a somewhat high-pitched and nasal voice[[note]]it's pretty much the same voice Alan Oppenheimer would use a few years later for Skeletor[[/note]], while Flash's loyal ally Thun the Lion Man speaks in a deep growl.
* Killface, from ''WesternAnimation/FriskyDingo'', who is also electronically deepened.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', Morbo the Annihilator subverts this by having a deep voice and an expressed desire for destruction of all of humankind, but only works as a news anchor.
** In the first episode, his voice was digitally lowered, but in the rest of the series, the voice actor simply lowered his voice to match.
** Any similarity between Morbo, Horrible Gelatinous Blob, and Lrrr, RULER OF THE PLANET Omnicron-Persei 8 is just your imagination. So the voice actor insists. And indeed, if close enough attention is paid, there are major differences. The Blob's voice is more guttural than Lrrr, and Morbo's is deeper. Where exactly Mr. HGB and Lrrr fall on the evil spectrum depends on the episode.
* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}''. Not only does Goliath have a deeper voice than the [[BigBad main antagonist]], but he has the deepest voice in the entire primary cast. Played completely straight with Goliath's EvilTwin, Thailog.
* Both subverted and played straight in ''Franchise/GIJoe''; [[BigBad Cobra Commander]] has a very high pitched, whiny voice, while [[TheDragon Destro]] has a suitably deep one and [[TheBrute Zartan]]'s is relatively normal, but with an electronic echo effect that makes it sound louder than it is.
** Played straight in [[Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra the live action movie]], where the Doctor [[spoiler:who later upgrades to the Commander]] pulls the deepest and most menacing voice he can do.
*** Same goes for the sequel, ''Film/GIJoeRetaliation''.
* Inverted in ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'', where Skeletor's voice gets rather shrieky, complete with cackling, after he loses his face. Played straight with Marzo, when being freed from his dwarfing curse.
** Played straight in the Italian dub of [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse2002 the 2002 version]], where Skeletor's voice sounds like a deep growl.
* [[WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget Dr. Claw]]. (Unless the voice comes from excessive chain-smoking, and he just puts the echo on for effect...)
* Darkseid ''(again)'' in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'', this time voiced by Jonathan Adams -- the same guy who voiced Vaatu in ''The Legend Of Korra'' (see below).
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': The show's VillainProtagonist, [[CatsAreMean Mr. Cat]], has the deepest voice of all the characters and sounds like an adult despite [[YoungerThanTheyLook being less than 13 years old.]] Olaf the emperor penguin, another antagonist, also has a deep voice and sounds like a grown man. The trope is averted with Stumpy and Pretty, whose voices are high-pitched.
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'': "Rufus In Show" subverts this with the villainous Falsetto Jones who was caught in a "freak helium accident" that ''raised'' his voice's pitch.
** Warhok, the BigBad of the GrandFinale, is the rare KP villain who actually does have a deep voice. Makes sense, as he's voiced by Creator/RonPerlman.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra,'' evil is deeper than the bottom of the ocean. Given that [[BigBad Amon]] and his [[TheDragon Lieutenant]], are voiced by Creator/SteveBlum and Creator/LanceHenriksen. Which is ''exactly'' as awesome as it sounds.
** Not to mention non-equalist bad guys, [[spoiler: Tarrlok and his father Yakone]].
** Now there's [[GodOfEvil Vaatu]], who may have the deepest voice in the series.
** The [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender previous series]] had Firelord Ozai, with possibly vary small traces of the GutturalGrowler.
* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'':
** [[BigBad Hawk Moth]]'s voice is noticeably deeper than that of his civilian identity, [[spoiler:Gabriel Agreste]]. Since his SuperEmpowering requires him to converse with his victims and get them to agree to become his minions, he most likely does it to prevent anyone from recognizing him by his normal voice. [[spoiler:His civilian identity is quite famous, after all]].
** In "Sandboy", Cat Noir's nightmare made real of a Ladybug who hates him and tries to kill him has a far deeper and more growly voice than the genuine article.
* Subverted by King Nixel in ''WesternAnimation/{{Mixels}}''. He has a deep and threatening voice...when he's in his battle armor. Strip that away, along with his voice-changing mustache, and he has a voice that's just as high pitched-and whiny as his minions, who he matches in size.
* Latanya Hippo from ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'' may not be evil but she does talk in a deep, scary demonic voice especially when she is angry. It was later revealed that she's an alien named Hipeon in drag.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' provides a couple of examples:
** [[FallenAngel Nightmare Moon]] of the pilot has a pretty deep voice and a great EvilLaugh. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by the fact that her larger stature (roughly 1.5 times the size of the main characters) would give her longer vocal cords, and thus a lower-pitched voice.
** [[EvilOverlord King Sombra]] of the Season 3 opener has probably the deepest voice of any character in the series. [[TheSilentBob The rare times he does speak, anyway.]]
** In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'', [[EvilCounterpart Sunset Shimmer]] has a notably deeper voice than the other girls, and retains it even after her HeelFaceTurn.
** At first in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E25TwilightsKingdomPart1 Twilight's Kingdom, Part 1]]", Lord Tirek's voice is frail and old, but he later gains a deep, booming voice as he returns to his original power.
** Two of the [[TerribleTrio Dazzlings]] in ''Rainbow Rocks'', Adagio Dazzle and Aria Blaze, have alto-range voices, but Sonata Dusk subverts this trope with her ValleyGirl-esque soprano voice.
** Season 8 gives us Chancellor Neighsay, the [[FantasticRacism deeply prejudiced]] EEA head that takes full advantage of Creator/MauriceLaMarche's famous Orson Welles voice. [[spoiler: This enhances his role as a massive RedHerring compared to actual Season 8 villain, [[EnfantTerrible Cozy Glow]].]]
* The Beast in ''WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall'', voice provided by operatic bass Samuel Ramey.
* WesternAnimation/{{Pete}} in most of his appearances is this, especially the ones where Creator/JimCummings or Arthur Burghardt provide his voice. Meanwhile his longtime antagonist MickeyMouse has a very ''high'' voice, as does Pete's [[ExtremeDoormat walked-upon]] NiceGuy son, PJ from ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop.'' Interestingly enough, PJ didn't ''always'' have a high voice -- [[CharacterizationMarchesOn in his prototype]] EnfantTerrible form, his voice was far too low to make sense for a child his age, making him an example too.
* In the early ''ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}'' shorts, Bluto's voice was baritone. Especially notable if he were being played by Gus Wickie.
* Inverted with the villainous HIM from ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', who normally speaks in a creepy falsetto voice. But when he gets serious/angry/just wants to be extra dramatic, his voice goes from high-pitched to really deep and growly.
* Aku, nemesis of ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack''. As his voice actor {{Creator/Mako}} once put it, "Evil comes from the ''belly''."
* Heihu, the demonic BigBad of ''WesternAnimation/ShaolinWuzang'', even though he's [[DemonicPossession possessing]] a woman's body.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'', Hordak has a fairly deep and intimidating baritone, courtesy of Keston John. Shadow Weaver also has a silky alto voice, courtesy of Lorraine Toussaint.
* Sideshow Bob from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. Creator/KelseyGrammer gives him a chilling deep voice, which makes it all the more appropriate for Bob.
* In the same vein as Dr. Claw, there's Dr. Robotnik in ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM''. Easily the most intimidating incarnation of the character, his dramatically reverberating voice usually stayed at the level of a whisper (at least in the first season), but its menacingly low tones are among the most memorable aspects of the series.
* Even though he's very small, Plankton of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' has a very deep baritone voice.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'': In "Terminal Provocations", Badgey's voice drops a couple of octaves when he says "hurt you" to Rutherford.
* [[DarkActionGirl Asajj Ventress]] from ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'' has a deep, gravelly voice.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}'': Darkseid has a deep, rough voice, courtesy of Frank Welker.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'', the Shredder has a nice deep voice with a Japanese accent, which, while wearing his armor, sounds like it echoes robotically. [[BlobMonster Sh'Okanabo's]] voice in Fast Forward, of course, is surprisingly deeper than that of the Shredder. It even has an almost alien-like echo added to it (which is no surprise as Black Doom from ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'' [[Creator/SeanSchemmel sounds exactly like him]]).
** [[SmugSnake Darius Dun]] has a nice deep voice as well, complete with a British accent.
** The Shredder's baritone was retained in the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 2012 series]], courtesy of Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson.
* When [[{{Satan}} Trigon]], the main villain of the fourth season of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', had to be even more evil and threatening than [[BigBad Slade]], the creators decided that he also had to have an even deeper voice than Slade's already quite deep CreepyMonotone.
* Darkseid's example is famous enough to be outright parodied on ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'': when he first appears, he has a deep, echoing, [[GutturalGrowler gravelly]] voice that leaves the Titans quaking in fear...until Starfire offers him a lozenge for his sore throat. He immediately turns into ''[[spoiler: Music/WeirdAlYankovic]]'', at which point none of the Titans can take him seriously anymore.
* [[BigBad Mumm-Ra]] of the ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats''.
* When not pretending to be Mike, his evil personality, Mal, in ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama All-Stars'' speaks with the VoiceOfTheLegion (complete with reverb, sometimes).
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
** ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' averted it with Megatron and Starscream both having very high, whiny voices (Starscream's being much higher than Megatron's). In fact, there were a number of Decepticons with high-pitched voices, while others had particularly deep voices, such as Thundercracker (deep but somewhat "normal" otherwise), Dirge (very deep and droning, befitting his name), and Motormaster (gravelly with an undercurrent of rage).
** In ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie'', Unicron played it very straight, with his voice about as deep as you can get. Galvatron's voice in the movie was also much deeper than Megatron's (switching from Creator/FrankWelker to Creator/LeonardNimoy), though it was subverted with Galvatron post-movie as he spent months in a pool of plasma going insane, and his voice (again provided by Welker) is actually higher-pitched than Megatron's. In both TheMovie and post-movie episodes, Cyclonus and Scourge have deep voices as well.
** Inverted in G1 in that some of the Autobots are known for their deep voices, particularly [[BigGood Optimus Prime]] and [[TheChosenOne Rodimus Prime]], both of whom have deeper voices than their pre-Prime identities of Orion Pax and Hot Rod.
** ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' Megatron features a rich, deep vocal performance courtesy of Creator/DavidKaye, ''yessss''. Kaye used the same voice for Anime/UnicronTrilogy Megatron, but without BW Megatron's VerbalTic.
** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' Megatron dives into the UncannyValley with how deep and almost artificial-sounding his voice is. His most loyal servant Lugnut also has a deep voice, and [[NoIndoorVoice wants you to know it]]. Starscream is still high and scratchy despite being a bigger threat to more people than before. [[PsychoForHire Lockdown]] has Creator/LanceHenriksen[='s=] voice, and it wouldn't be surprising if he [[CreepySouvenir actually took it from Lance Henriksen.]]
** [[Film/{{Transformers}} The live-action movie]] played it straight by making Megatron's voice very deep as well as Barricade's. Movie Starscream is the first incarnation of 'Screamer to have a very deep voice as well -- though ''ever so slightly'' higher than the others.
*** Galvatron's voice in [[Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction the fourth movie]] was Frank Welker, and the performance has been noted for its similarity to the voice he used for Megatron in ''Transformers: Prime'' (see below).
** Welker's performance as Megatron in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' is nothing like his G1 voice, much deeper and subdued, and [[VocalEvolution much more intimidating as a result.]]
*** Most of the Decepticons from ''Prime'' have some very deep voices, in fact. Dreadwing and Shockwave are perhaps the deepest, but even ''[[AgentPeacock Knock Out]]'' has a deep voice! Starscream's voice is still higher-pitched, but less so than in G1 or ''Animated'', particularly on those rare occasions when he's not panicking or groveling.

Special mention goes to Megatronus, who sounds like they're trying to conceal his voice actor's identity.
* Whenever [[WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder Lord Dominator]] is fully wearing her armor, her voice turns low and growly, courtesy of Creator/FredTatasciore.
* ComicBook/VandalSavage, BigBad (or at least the founder of the group that collectively forms the BigBad) of the first season of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' has a very deep, growling voice.
** Black Beetle from the second season has an even deeper voice (and that's [[Creator/KevinGrevioux his voice actor]]'s actual voice), as does Mongul, who is voiced by Creator/KeithDavid.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Zeroman}}'': The Castrato's voice drops multiple octaves once he gets the Zero Suit. [[spoiler:It returns to normal after he gets [[GroinAttack hit in the crotch]] with a shoe.]]
