* A smaller example: In an episode of ''SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries'', an adult man walking down the street had a high-pitched little girl voice. ''Done'' by a girl.

* None other than Optimus Prime himself from ''TransformersPrime''. Hearing Cullen's deep and aged voice coming out of that almost featureless (thus young-looking) face has a strange effect. Thankfully, he can deploy his face shield.

*''DigimonTamers'' is the only ''{{Digimon}}'' series this far where all the {{Mons}} (Except Beelzemon because EvilIsCool) keep the same voice from one form to the next, resulting in knights, war machines, and [[{{Homage}} Kamen Riders]] sounding like cutesy little critters or the preteens they're bonded with. It... [[{{Narm}} really, seriously, totally doesn't work]], except in the case of Renamon's forms (she has a more adult-sounding voice from the beginning.)

'''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYn5FJnvrZk Wrong.]]''' The dissonance is even more surprising, considering that most actors portraying him do use a deep resonating voice.

* Current WWE wrestler Kaval is short (by WWE standards) and rather lightweight, so you would think he would carry a voice in the same range as Rey Mysterio (a higher voice you'd expect from a FragileSpeedster). He has one of the deepest voices you can imagine, its rather disorienting.

* {{Seth MacFarlane}} definitely doesn't ''look'' like he should have such a deep voice. Further complicated due to the fact that he provides the voices of [[FamilyGuy Brian, Peter, Stewie, Quaqmire,]] and numerous less-important characters.

** Of course, the joke doesn't work that well today, now that Harry Shearer's [[TheSimpsons voice]] and visage have both become much more recognized.
