It can also extend to detainment facilities where a happy voice will tell inmates to not say "Ri-donk-ulus" or risk being executed, or an enemy base that warns employees not to fall in the decorative pools of lava.

* Throughout ''WesternAnimation/TheMidnightGospel,'' most of the people Duncan interviews tend to possess very calming voices, often serving as an immediate contrast to the violence and the horror that's sometimes playing out around them:
** Glasses Man (voiced by Drew Pinsky) speaks in a very easy-going, relaxing tone of voice, and actually carries on a rather lackadaisical discussion of drug prohibition even while zombies are besieging the White House.
** Annie and Raghu the deer-dogs (voiced by Anne Lamott and Raghu Marcus) are both very amiable, folksy characters with the voices to match, and also carry on with a very frank discussion of death, cancer, alcoholism, depression, spirituality, and the toxic myths surrounding artists... all while Annie, Raghu and Clancy are being butchered in a slaughterhouse.
** Jason the psychopomp (voiced by Jason Louv) might just take the cake: he possesses a very soothing monotone that seems quite appropriate for discussions of nonessentialism and enlightenment... except it's playing out across a nightmarish spectacle of Bob repeatedly dying and getting rewound back to the start of the [[ResurrectionDeathLoop Bardo Loop]].

* In ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld,'' Kaoru of the Dream Palace possesses a soothing, relaxing tone of voice that never loses its serenity even in the face of an ongoing apocalypse, especially notable if you've just been chased off the street by a horde of Filth infectees. This is actually commented on in "Nightmares In The Dream Palace," when [[spoiler: John]] recalls being deeply reassured by Kaoru's voice, commenting that it "made everything alright."

Carolyn shoots down objections on the grounds they may as well use Herc while they've got him. Then Douglas and Herc get into a "syrup off".
