* The BBC RadioDrama adaptation of ''Literature/NightWatch'' has a different actor for teenage Vimes, but teenage Vetinari is played by the same actor who plays him as an adult and sounds distinctly not teenage. Since he's meant to be in his late teens, it's not surprising that his voice would already be as deep as it's going to get, but certain other characteristics that tend to distinguish teenage voices from adult ones make him sound a lot older.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', Creator/JasonLee voices Syndrome both as an adult and a young boy. In the DVDCommentary, this was stated to be due to Creator/BradBird being unable to find a child actor who sounded like a younger version of Lee.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe1979'', the DistantFinale initally appears to be an aversion strategically using Peter for all the spoken dialogue since he was a teenager with an adult voice from the earliest scenes. Then, bizarrely, the adult Edmund speaks twice in the same pre-pubescent voice he had all along.

* ''Manga/BungoStrayDogs'': The Fifteen arc showcases Dazai and Chuuya back when they were fifteen, keeping the same dub and sub actors that portray the present-day versions in their twenties. Dazai sounds normal enough overall, though Chuuya is still given an incredibly deep voice in the sub which can be jarring to hear since he's extremely small and OlderThanTheyLook.
** In the English dub, Atsushi keeps his usual young adult voice even as a kid.

* Retroactive example in the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series. In the first game, 14-year-old Sora was voiced by 14-year-old Creator/HaleyJoelOsment. In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', a year has passed, and the much-older voice of 18-year-old Osment suits the much-taller 15-year-old Sora quite nicely. However, the series' [[KudzuPlot rather twisted timeline]] means that the tiny 14-year-old Sora has made many further appearances, with the now-adult Osment in the role every time, sometimes even dubbing over scenes he did when he was much younger.

Arthur's first voice actor, Creator/MichaelYarmush, even returned to voice the grown up Arthur as well.

* In both ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'' and ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Brotherhood,'' Ed, Al, and Winry are played by the same voice actors no matter their age. This causes VocalDissonance in the English dub when it comes to Ed and flashbacks, as he's voiced by an adult man which causes him to have a rather deep voice for a pre-adolescent. It creates the opposite issue in the original Japanese, as Ed has a woman's voice even as an adult.
