** Robin Williams once did a sketch on ''Series/SesameStreet'' called "Two Robins" with an adorable little robin (bird) whose speaking voice is similar to Elmo. The two of them found various ways that even though they were so different, they were also the same. Williams then said that the bird was a great singer, whereas he couldn't sing (a joke in itself as Williams was a phenomenal singer). He then asked the robin if he would sing a song. The robin finally agreed, and launched into "Lullaby of Birdland" in a voice similar to Tony Bennett.

* This was a big part of Ms. Brahms' character on ''Series/AreYouBeingServed'' -- she is a beautiful young woman working in an up-market department store but speaks like a working-class Cockney. One episode revolves around this -- Ms. Brahms is chosen as a spokesmodel for the store, but they have the voice of Mr. Grace's nurse dubbed over this because her voice is more up-market. A British Lord is attracted to her and wants to meet for a date, based largely on her sexy voice. In the end, he immediately goes to the nurse, even though she looks nothing like the woman in the ad.
* A frequent gag on ''Series/TheBennyHillShow'' was to have male vocalists singing in high female registers, and vice versa.
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
** Jonathan crooning a forties pop song in the Season 4 episode "Superstar". Pro athlete, military genius, star of ''The Matrix'', and ''now'' he's Sinatra.

* Scorpius of ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' is rather freaky looking, which makes his smooth and urbane voice a surprise. He also fits it on another level, in that the soft-spoken voice is a conscious effort, and when really angry, Scorpius loses control, and in keeping with his Scarran ancestry, talks in a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep]] GutturalGrowler voice. This is also a contrast with his weak-looking body (as is the SuperStrength he also generally keeps repressed).
* Invoked in an episode of ''Series/{{Frasier}}''. Frasier and a lot of the KACL employees put on an old-time radio murder mystery to celebrate the station's anniversary and Roz was supposed to play a character with a very sexy voice. Unfortunately, she had to have an emergency dental procedure which left her mouth still numb from the Novocaine. Frasier spends a few moments building up her characters sultry, exotic accent, and she speaks in a mumbling, slurring mess.

* ''Series/{{Justified}}'' has Jimmy Tolan (Jesse Luken), a short, baby-faced man with a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep, imposing baritone]].
* ''Series/KnightRider'': KARR in the Hungarian dub, due to the robotic echo effect layered over the voice actor's performance, has such a high-pitched voice, he almost sounds feminine. A more accurate description would be to say he's an [[Franchise/StarWars Ewok]] disguised as a car. It does a great job of undermining his malevolent aura.
* In several Clutch Cargo segments on ''Series/LateNight with Creator/ConanOBrien'', Martha Stewart and Barbara Bush had blatant male voices.
* ''Film/LiveForeverAsYouAreNowWithAlanResnick'': All of the clones have a digitized-Alan Resnick voice. Fine for Alan's clone, Teddy. Not so fine for the clones of old women or young boys.
* In the 3rd season premiere of ''Series/MrRobot'' one of the hackers Elliott encounters is a dwarf with a bit of a deep voice.
* A horrifying example (to those involved anyway) occurs in ''Series/MarriedWithChildren.'' The men get hooked on a new phone sex line, only for them to eventually discover the woman behind "Butter's" sexy voice is Peggy's big and far-from-beautiful mother.

When Governor Funbags compliments everyone at the table on their superbly dubbed voices, Caroline replies "Thank you Governor" in Judge Muttonchops' voice. Funbags continues, "With one or two exceptions."
* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' and ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' have a situation similar to ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}.'' (Makes sense, with the same sets of ThePowersThatBe -- TOEI making the original, Saban adapting it.) In the American version, the MonsterOfTheWeek, as well as major villains, will sound growly or squeaky or otherwise be not-normal-human-y to better sound like they look. When watching the Japanese version, where this is often not so, it's strange when a beast of destruction or a cheesy rubber suit talks in a voice that could belong to any guy on the street -- especially if it's a bad guy you ''know'' and remember sounding the part.
** In ''Series/HikoninSentaiAkibaranger'', [[CosplayOtakuGirl Yumeria]], who is introduced speaking with a high, cutesy voice, switches to a deep, gravelly one when her [[AnimalEaredHeadband cat ear headband]] falls off.
* Very common on ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'', where all the contestants, naturally, are {{Drag Queen}}s, but in some cases, a queen may look entirely convincing as a woman until they speak, at which point this trope comes into effect. Rebecca Glasscock and Tyra Sanchez are two such queens who are extremely good at presenting as female but possess contrabass voices that can be startling the first time you hear them.
* ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' had an episode featuring one of Elaine's friends dating a "high talker", a man with a high-pitched voice that made him sound like a woman (in what was a pretty blatant overdubbing job). In fact, he sounds almost exactly like Elaine's friend. This led to Elaine accidentally causing the two to break up when Jerry claims her friend was flirting with him. She calls her friend to confirm whether or not it was true, not realizing the high talker was the one who answered, who now has the idea in his head that his girlfriend might be unfaithful.
* The Creator/StephenJCannell series ''Sonny Spoon'' had an episode called "Who's Got Tonsillitis?" about a missing soul singer called Tonsillitis Brown who was so called because of how his real singing voice sounded like; he mimed to the voice of another singer. A pudgy white guy.
* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': Once you look into his background, Crowley becomes an example. A demon formed from the soul of a Scotsman[[note]]His birth name was Fergus Roderick [=McLeod=][[/note]], inhabiting the body of an American[[note]]As he once said to Bobby, "in the flesh of a moderately-successful literary agent out of New York".[[/note]] who, thanks to being played by Mark Sheppard, has a London accent.

** In ''Series/HikoninSentaiAkibaranger'', [[CosplayOtakuGirl Yumeria]], who is introduced speaking with a high, cutesy voice, switches to a deep, gravelly one when her [[AnimalEaredHeadband cat ear headband]] falls off.
* Very common on ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'', where all the contestants, naturally, are {{Drag Queen}}s, but in some cases, a queen may look entirely convincing as a woman until they speak, at which point this trope comes into effect. Rebecca Glasscock and Tyra Sanchez are two such queens who are extremely good at presenting as female but possess contrabass voices that can be startling the first time you hear them.
* ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' had an episode featuring one of Elaine's friends dating a "high talker", a man with a high-pitched voice that made him sound like a woman (in what was a pretty blatant overdubbing job). In fact, he sounds almost exactly like Elaine's friend. This led to Elaine accidentally causing the two to break up when Jerry claims her friend was flirting with him. She calls her friend to confirm whether or not it was true, not realizing the high talker was the one who answered, who now has the idea in his head that his girlfriend might be unfaithful.
* The Creator/StephenJCannell series ''Sonny Spoon'' had an episode called "Who's Got Tonsillitis?" about a missing soul singer called Tonsillitis Brown who was so called because of how his real singing voice sounded like; he mimed to the voice of another singer. A pudgy white guy.
* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': Once you look into his background, Crowley becomes an example. A demon formed from the soul of a Scotsman[[note]]His birth name was Fergus Roderick [=McLeod=][[/note]], inhabiting the body of an American[[note]]As he once said to Bobby, "in the flesh of a moderately-successful literary agent out of New York".[[/note]] who, thanks to being played by Mark Sheppard, has a London accent.
* An episode of ''Veritas: The Quest'' has neo-Nazi villain [[MultiethnicName Heinrich Cordova]], who looks like a prototypical Aryan Ubermensch yet speaks with a Latino accent. The first words spoken to him in said episode are "You know Heinrich, I can never get used to ''that'' accent coming out of ''that'' face." [[RealityisUnrealistic Strange as it may seem]], many German and Austrian immigrants came to South America in the early 20th century, and so there are many people in Argentina, Southern Brazil, Uruguay and to a lesser extent Paraguay and Venezuela with [[MultiethnicName Spanish or Portuguese first names but Teutonic surnames]]. In fact, there are places like Colonia Tóvar and Treze Tílias which look exactly like [[YodelLand a stereotypical Alpine village]] and the German language is still spoken.
