* ''Series/TheBradyBunch'': An entire episode – "Dough Re Mi" – was built on vocal evolution ... specifically, Peter's voice entering puberty and breaking at the worst possible time ... oldest brother Greg trying to form a family singing group with his siblings, and (with a non-refundable deposit already paid) having only ''that'' opportunity to use the studio to record the song. The voice break was humorously used in the TV version of "Time To Change," with the break dubbed in from the studio recording; indeed, the album and single versions do not feature Peter's "voice break," as Christopher Knight was in tune – as best as he could be, since by his own admission he couldn't sing – during the actual recording of the song.
* In an unusual live-action example, the same happens to Karen (Megan Mullally) in ''Series/WillAndGrace'', whose voice gets more high-pitched and distinctive as the series progresses, arguably as her character's [[{{Flanderization}} wackier traits are played up]], but also as she got more rare serious moments.
* Actress Pauley Perrette in ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': Abby's voice changes noticeably over the run of the show. In the early seasons, it was deeper and more throaty; later, her voice becomes faster and higher-pitched, and Abby's verbal tics become more exaggerated.
** Ziva's voice got slowly less husky as the season went on, and she lost most of her Israeli accent.
* Michael's voice in the pilot and early episodes of ''Series/BurnNotice'' -- especially during his voiceovers -- is noticeably higher and more nasal than the one he settled into.
** Fiona's voice also went through changes, in the pilot she used an Irish accent with her, but soon after she has a more American accent to her.
* ''Series/{{SCTV}}'': Compare the [[CanadaEh McKenzie Brothers]]' accents between [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNRlcjz3acU this skit]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pPRaD6TKLc that skit]].
* Steve Smith's voice for the title character of ''Series/TheRedGreenShow'' was always a deadpan, gravelly tone, but it started off a little softer, quieter and more hesitant. Over time, he began putting more range and emotion into it, and became a lot less hesitant.
** Smith's voice in the beginning seasons of the show is closer to his voice in RealLife, but he found using the "Red Voice" as he calls it was surprisingly ''less'' stressful on his vocal cords, to the point where he has no problem using it for hours on end, which he found quite useful for personal appearances.
* Mike Smith's Bubbles voice (and body language) becomes less uptight and forced after the first two seasons of ''Series/TrailerParkBoys''.
* Beginning in season two of ''Series/GossipGirl'', Chuck Bass more seldom spoke in the lighter voice he had during season one, and by season three only speaks in a deep, guttural voice which some fans complain make it difficult to hear what he's even saying. After a while his actor, Ed Westwick, confirmed the fan theory that Chuck's voice had gotten deeper because it was easier for the English Westwick to maintain his American accent when he dropped an octave.
* All three [[TheAnnouncer announcers]] on ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' have had this happen over time:
** Original announcer Johnny Olson didn't lose much in the way of energy on ''Price'', although he did get a little more slurred due to old age. However, he sounds noticeably less enthusiastic on the few episodes of ''Series/BodyLanguage'' he announced shortly before his death in 1985.
** His successor, Rod Roddy (who stayed with the show until just before his 2003 death), initially had a loud, resonant voice that was well-suited for a high-energy game show. Starting in the early 1990s, he became a lot less energetic (likely due to his many health problems), although some of his energy returned in the early 2000s. (For the first weeks of the 2003-04 season, he only announced if he felt that he could handle it, and asked his good friend Randy West to fill in otherwise.)

Before taking over on ''Price'', Rich announced ''Flamingo Fortune'' (1995-99) with a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFsGAKHoAXk fairly mellow, deep voice]]. When he started filling in on ''Price'', his voice became much [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Eohp5bzZGA higher and more energetic]]. Once he became the official announcer, his delivery jumped all over the place as he settled into the role (it's said that he [[InvokedTrope intentionally changed his style]] to keep things interesting). By the time Drew Carey took over hosting duties from Bob Barker, Rich had pretty much settled into a rather [[NoIndoorVoice loud, screeching tone]] that sometimes went non-rhotic for no reason (e.g. "[[MemeticMutation A NEW CAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!]]"). Shortly before the producers decided to let Rich go in mid-2010 (because they wanted an announcer with improv comedy experience, although Rich reportedly had some personal problems as well), he did some post-production work on summer reruns, which had him reverting to the style he used on ''Flamingo Fortune''. He kept the mellower style when he did some substitute work on ''Series/WheelOfFortune'' in late 2010-early 2011, and again on ''Series/DrewCareysImprovAGanza'' later in 2011.
* And speaking of ''Series/WheelOfFortune''...
** Jack Clark, who replaced original announcer Charlie O'Donnell in 1980, left the show in 1988 due to bone cancer that ultimately took his life. Near the end of his tenure, his voice had gotten much weaker. This is most evident on a short stretch of reruns in Summer 1988, where Jack dubbed in new PromotionalConsideration plugs for the reruns, and clearly sounded very rough. It quickly reached the point where they just had hosts Pat Sajak and Vanna White do the plugs instead, before M.G. Kelly was chosen as the next announcer that fall. Kelly lasted less than a full season, getting the boot in February 1989.
** A few months after Charlie returned to the show in 1989, he became noticeably deeper and less enthusiastic. He returned to his usual energy around 2001, and he actually became ''more'' energetic in the 2000s (three words: "Twenty-five THOOOOOOOOOOOUSAND dollars!") despite staying in the lower register. The lower but more energetic delivery stayed mostly intact until his 2010 death and subsequent replacement by Jim Thornton after a rotation of substitutes.
* In Series/{{Mork|AndMindy}}'s first appearance in ''Series/HappyDays'', Creator/RobinWilliams uses a high-pitched voice for his character, emphasizing that Mork is an alien. By the time Mork got his own show, Robin uses his normal voice, although Mork still makes silly high-pitched noises on occasion.
* Trace Beaulieu's original voice for Crow T. Robot on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' was, well, robotic and stiff and has frequently been described as "baby-like." His voice for Crow got more natural and casual as the show progressed and developed. A similar change occurred with Beaulieu's other character, Dr. Forrester, who in early episodes came across as more of a traditional hammy mad scientist.
** When Kevin Murphy took over playing Tom Servo it almost seemed like he was trying to imitate the voice J. Elvis Weinstein used for Servo. By the start of the next season he debuted a new, deep, rich voice for Servo, but as the series went on he dropped most of the affectations and Servo basically just wound up with Murphy's natural voice.
*** Beaulieu called this the "Jim-Hensoning" of their voices, much like how Jim Henson's Kermit the Frog voice eventually turned into his regular voice.
* Puberty can do this to any young actor or actress simply by being on a LongRunner or just happening to have their voice break in between seasons:
** Jake Sisko (Cirroc Lofton) on ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine''.
** Carly and Freddie on ''Series/ICarly''. It's most obvious with Freddie, whose actor Nathan Kress was barely adolescent during the filming of Season 1, and grew up in a big way during the long break before season 2. It's even [[DiscussedTrope discussed]] on the show itself, with Sam asking what happened to his voice, with 'I dunno, puberty' being the reply. Carly and MirandaCosgrove's voice grew gentler and less 'whiny'. Sam on the other hand, [[AvertedTrope didn't change at all]], because her actress Jennette Mc Curdy had been playing Sam in a lower tone of voice to begin with to suit her character better.
** Cat on ''Series/{{Victorious}}''. It's hard to pinpoint exactly when it happened, but some time after the first season, Music/ArianaGrande's voice had deepened due to puberty, so she started speaking in a higher tone while playing Cat in attempt to match her previous voice, which resulted in Cat having a baby-ish SimpletonVoice.
** Zack and Cody from ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOnDeck'' developed deeper voices by the second season of the series since real-life actors Dylan and Cole hit puberty during the production of the second season. In fact, even in the first season, their voices started to become slightly lower.
** Frankie Muniz' voice went noticeably deeper between Seasons 1 and 2 of ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle''.
** Caused a bit of a problem on ''Series/EverybodyHatesChris'', when Tyler James Williams, playing the main character who's an {{Expy}} of Chris Rock, had his voice drop to a register that is quite a bit lower than Rock's.
** Jaleel White of ''Series/FamilyMatters'' originally voiced Urkel in a whiny, nasal version of his natural voice, and throughout the first few seasons you could hear his voice drop an octave, while still retaining the whininess. But as of the fifth season or so, he started to speak in a squeaky falsetto that only grew more and more bizarre as he aged. It was hard for post-puberty Jaleel to imitate his old voice.
* The TV show ''Series/TheGoldbergs'' based an entire episode around this. Adam and his friends signed up for the school choir, along with the rest of the boys in the 8th grade, but the realisation that all the boys' voices were starting to change sends them and their teacher into a panic, fearing that they'll sound off-key and ear-achingly awful at the talent show. On the news of Music/MilliVanilli being caught lip-syncing their live performances, Adam's mother suggests that the choir should lip-sync, and their teacher doesn't hesitate.
* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has the Batman voices. Particularly notable, Jensen Ackles started speaking with a much growlier voice during season 4, possibly in an attempt to out-growl Misha Collins, as he joked. Jared Padalecki's voice change was a bit more subtler, but is extremely notable if you watch the first anime season that is based on season 1 and 2, with Jared dubbing Sam, who doesn't sound at all like he did in the show's first season.
** Even Castiel didn't have a such a gruff voice in his first appearance in Lucifer Rising.
* Don Pardo announced ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' in his 90s and it shows. His voice had become a lot less booming than it was in the prime of his career (from the infancy of television to the mid-1970s).
* On ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', Marina Sirtis originally played Deanna Troi with a vaguely Eastern European inflection, before dropping it entirely from the second season onwards, in favour of a more natural-sounding mid-Atlantic accent. This is still different from Sirtis's normal speaking voice, which is a standard London East End accent. By the time of the second TNG film, ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'', Sirtis mostly just used her own accent, albeit with her East End inflections toned down.
** She originally developed the accent as a kind of Betazoid inflection to further differentiate her alien character from the humans. All that effort was destroyed when Majel Barrett first appeared as her mother, Lwaxana Troi, and didn't even bother trying to attempt the accent.
* On ''Series/{{Friends}}'':
** Rachel started out with a whiny and screechy voice. Starting around the middle of S3, however, it deepened and became a little more raspy. The change was pretty well solidified by the end of S4.
** Chandler's started out as loud and abrasive, gradually mellowing out and then settling on a very laid back and soft tone. During the first few Season Four episodes especially, you can tell that Perry was struggling a bit with this change in speaking style, as he sounds a little unnatural during those episodes.
*** During the first half of Season Seven, Chandler sounds unusually timid and aloof. This is clearly the result of Perry's drug addictions significantly hindering his performance at the time.
** Joey's voice became quite a bit richer and huskier throughout the series, due in no small part to [=LeBlanc's=] smoking.
** Monica's voice actually had the exact opposite evolution of Rachel's. It started out as deep and direct in tone but became more high pitched and screechy over the years.
* Bran's voice on ''Series/GameOfThrones'' changes dramatically between seasons two and three.
* ''Series/BreakingBad'': Used to signify the parallel [[CharacterDevelopment development]] of the two main characters.
** [[VillainProtagonist Walter White]] starts out as quiet and nonthreatening. As the series goes on and [[ProtagonistJourneyToVillain his actions, and he himself, become more despicable]], his voice changes into a deep, snarling, and menacing tone.
** [[{{Deuteragonist}} Jesse Pinkman]] starts with a nasal voice and PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy vernacular. As the series goes on, he suffers more and more, sees Walter get worse and worse, and shows more of his HiddenHeartOfGold. His voice also becomes deeper, but also softer and much more mature sounding.
* In the first few episodes of ''Series/{{Cheers}}'', Cliff Clavin only speaks with a mild Boston accent, which becomes a lot more pronounced as the first season goes on. This was largely because John Ratzenberger didn't know whether his role would be an ongoing one (he didn't officially become a member of the main cast until the second season), and just used his normal voice in the early episodes, before taking the time to get the accent right after he was given a long-term deal.
* ''Series/TopGear'': Jeremy Clarkson's voice has gone from a somewhat posh English accent to his trademark deep, raspier voice with a lot of pauses...in between sentences thanks to his love of cigarettes.
* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' has Bernadette, whose high-pitched voice was based on the actress' (Melissa Rauch) mother. It was also pitched higher than her natural voice, but in her earlier episodes it was quite softer in tone. Later episodes established her BewareTheNiceOnes personality, and her vocal pitch became much "squeakier" to help facilitate those angry moments.
* ''Series/YesDear'': Kim's voice is deeper and more throaty in the final 2 seasons as opposed to her high-pitched whine prior to that. Christine's voice became more gravelly over time.
* In ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers,'' watching old episodes from ''before'' Goldar develops his highly distinctive voice can be almost bizarre.
** ''Series/PowerRangersWildForce'' has Jindrax's vocal style undergo a sudden drastic change as the writers decided what they really wanted from the character. In human disguise he's played by the guy who will be his ''second'' voice actor, so he sounds pretty much like he will later. When we first see his monster form it switches to a high-pitched, grandiose, and downright ''unstable'' sounding voice you'd expect from a {{Toku}} version of ComicBook/TheJoker or something. But a few episodes later, he's back to the somewhat goofy and down-to-earth voice that's fitting of the IneffectualSympatheticVillain who would eventually [[spoiler: prove to be a NobleDemon, realize his {{Bad Boss}}es ''aren't'' very noble, say ScrewThisImOuttaHere, and ride off into the sunset with Toxica.]]
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** Due to the very long-term existence of the characters, [[OtherDarrin recasting voice actors]], changing technology and the BBC not always bothering to keep track of what effects or settings they had been using, the Dalek voice effect is wildly variable. Over the course of the 60s, Daleks gradually get faster in delivery, a bit less RP in accent and more hateful-sounding (this last one was due to the voice actors doing HamToHamCombat to entertain themselves) and the quirk of raising the vocal pitch as the Dalek gets more panicky begins to be established. Daleks in the early 70s were forced to do the robot effect with their own voices as the BBC had not supplied ring modulators - they get away with it in "Death to the Daleks" but not in "Day of the Daleks", which was actually redubbed for the DVD version. The Daleks in the TV Movie also don't have the ring-mod effect, and are pitch-shifted up to HeliumSpeech levels ([[NightmareRetardant with expected results]]). For the new series, the production crew went out of its way to get copies of the exact equipment the Radiophonic Workshop had been using in the Daleks' first appearance, and used the often erratic ring mod programming of the Classic series as an excuse to give different Daleks different modulation frequencies to differentiate them.
** The Cybermen's voice changes even more than the Daleks. In their first appearance they had ring-modded voices (at a higher frequency than the Dalek ring-mod effect) and creepy AccentUponTheWrongSyllable voices based on early talking computers. In their next appearances they spoke in a buzzing CreepyMonotone courtesy of a 1960s medical electrolarynx. Eventually the electrolarynx was replaced with a normal voice with a high-frequency ring mod. The New series voice is a 'real' voice processed with ring mod like the 80s voice, but with a flat and hollow affect rather than an expressive one.
** In "Robot", the Fourth Doctor's voice is relatively high pitched and often quite gravelly or gurgly, and the accent is occasionally overly clipped and prissy, or overly relaxed and conventional. It takes until the filming of "Revenge of the Cybermen" for Creator/TomBaker to reach the low, breathy, dramatic tone and subtle accent quirks associated with the character. His voice also generally gets lower and more 'bedroomy' over the course of his first three seasons, to the extent that going from (say) "The Hand of Fear" to "The Ark in Space" is quite a shock.
* Creator/RossMcCall lost his Scottish accent when his family moved to Kent at a young age. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FiEip0BO58 This]] early appearance on ''Series/TheBill'' shows him with a standard Kent accent. After playing numerous FakeAmerican roles ('Series/BandOfBrothers'', ''Series/WhiteCollar'') he now has a blend between English and American - as heard [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1wZAwCOguQ here]].
* The Cryptkeeper from ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'' for the first season had a high pitched raspy voice, as the series went on his voice beame lower and more nasally.
* Bruce Wayne's voice started deepening during season 2 of ''Series/{{Gotham}}'' because his actor is pubescent.
* In ''Series/BlueBloods'', Danny Reagan's kids' voices deepen around season 6, which is when their actors hit puberty.
* In ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'', Stephanie Beatriz played Rosa Diaz with a higher-pitched voice in early episodes before settling on a lower gruffer tone.
----
----
* ''Series/TheBradyBunch'': An entire episode – "Dough Re Mi" – was built on vocal evolution ... specifically, Peter's voice entering puberty and breaking at the worst possible time ... oldest brother Greg trying to form a family singing group with his siblings, and (with a non-refundable deposit already paid) having only ''that'' opportunity to use the studio to record the song. The voice break was humorously used in the TV version of "Time To Change," with the break dubbed in from the studio recording; indeed, the album and single versions do not feature Peter's "voice break," as Christopher Knight was in tune – as best as he could be, since by his own admission he couldn't sing – during the actual recording of the song.
* In an unusual live-action example, the same happens to Karen (Megan Mullally) in ''Series/WillAndGrace'', whose voice gets more high-pitched and distinctive as the series progresses, arguably as her character's [[{{Flanderization}} wackier traits are played up]], but also as she got more rare serious moments.
* Actress Pauley Perrette in ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': Abby's voice changes noticeably over the run of the show. In the early seasons, it was deeper and more throaty; later, her voice becomes faster and higher-pitched, and Abby's verbal tics become more exaggerated.
** Ziva's voice got slowly less husky as the season went on, and she lost most of her Israeli accent.
* Michael's voice in the pilot and early episodes of ''Series/BurnNotice'' -- especially during his voiceovers -- is noticeably higher and more nasal than the one he settled into.
** Fiona's voice also went through changes, in the pilot she used an Irish accent with her, but soon after she has a more American accent to her.
* ''Series/{{SCTV}}'': Compare the [[CanadaEh McKenzie Brothers]]' accents between [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNRlcjz3acU this skit]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pPRaD6TKLc that skit]].
* Steve Smith's voice for the title character of ''Series/TheRedGreenShow'' was always a deadpan, gravelly tone, but it started off a little softer, quieter and more hesitant. Over time, he began putting more range and emotion into it, and became a lot less hesitant.
** Smith's voice in the beginning seasons of the show is closer to his voice in RealLife, but he found using the "Red Voice" as he calls it was surprisingly ''less'' stressful on his vocal cords, to the point where he has no problem using it for hours on end, which he found quite useful for personal appearances.
* Mike Smith's Bubbles voice (and body language) becomes less uptight and forced after the first two seasons of ''Series/TrailerParkBoys''.
* Beginning in season two of ''Series/GossipGirl'', Chuck Bass more seldom spoke in the lighter voice he had during season one, and by season three only speaks in a deep, guttural voice which some fans complain make it difficult to hear what he's even saying. After a while his actor, Ed Westwick, confirmed the fan theory that Chuck's voice had gotten deeper because it was easier for the English Westwick to maintain his American accent when he dropped an octave.
* All three [[TheAnnouncer announcers]] on ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' have had this happen over time:
** Original announcer Johnny Olson didn't lose much in the way of energy on ''Price'', although he did get a little more slurred due to old age. However, he sounds noticeably less enthusiastic on the few episodes of ''Series/BodyLanguage'' he announced shortly before his death in 1985.
** His successor, Rod Roddy (who stayed with the show until just before his 2003 death), initially had a loud, resonant voice that was well-suited for a high-energy game show. Starting in the early 1990s, he became a lot less energetic (likely due to his many health problems), although some of his energy returned in the early 2000s. (For the first weeks of the 2003-04 season, he only announced if he felt that he could handle it, and asked his good friend Randy West to fill in otherwise.)
** Rod's replacement, Rich Fields, is an interesting variant. Before taking over on ''Price'', Rich announced ''Flamingo Fortune'' (1995-99) with a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFsGAKHoAXk fairly mellow, deep voice]]. When he started filling in on ''Price'', his voice became much [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Eohp5bzZGA higher and more energetic]]. Once he became the official announcer, his delivery jumped all over the place as he settled into the role (it's said that he [[InvokedTrope intentionally changed his style]] to keep things interesting). By the time Drew Carey took over hosting duties from Bob Barker, Rich had pretty much settled into a rather [[NoIndoorVoice loud, screeching tone]] that sometimes went non-rhotic for no reason (e.g. "[[MemeticMutation A NEW CAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!]]"). Shortly before the producers decided to let Rich go in mid-2010 (because they wanted an announcer with improv comedy experience, although Rich reportedly had some personal problems as well), he did some post-production work on summer reruns, which had him reverting to the style he used on ''Flamingo Fortune''. He kept the mellower style when he did some substitute work on ''Series/WheelOfFortune'' in late 2010-early 2011, and again on ''Series/DrewCareysImprovAGanza'' later in 2011.
* And speaking of ''Series/WheelOfFortune''...
** Jack Clark, who replaced original announcer Charlie O'Donnell in 1980, left the show in 1988 due to bone cancer that ultimately took his life.

The lower but more energetic delivery stayed mostly intact until his 2010 death and subsequent replacement by Jim Thornton after a rotation of substitutes.
* In Series/{{Mork|AndMindy}}'s first appearance in ''Series/HappyDays'', Creator/RobinWilliams uses a high-pitched voice for his character, emphasizing that Mork is an alien.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** Due to the very long-term existence of the characters, [[OtherDarrin recasting voice actors]], changing technology and the BBC not always bothering to keep track of what effects or settings they had been using, the Dalek voice effect is wildly variable. Over the course of the 60s, Daleks gradually get faster in delivery, a bit less RP in accent and more hateful-sounding (this last one was due to the voice actors doing HamToHamCombat to entertain themselves) and the quirk of raising the vocal pitch as the Dalek gets more panicky begins to be established.

It takes until the filming of "Revenge of the Cybermen" for Creator/TomBaker to reach the low, breathy, dramatic tone and subtle accent quirks associated with the character. His voice also generally gets lower and more 'bedroomy' over the course of his first three seasons, to the extent that going from (say) "The Hand of Fear" to "The Ark in Space" is quite a shock.
* Creator/RossMcCall lost his Scottish accent when his family moved to Kent at a young age. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FiEip0BO58 This]] early appearance on ''Series/TheBill'' shows him with a standard Kent accent. After playing numerous FakeAmerican roles ('Series/BandOfBrothers'', ''Series/WhiteCollar'') he now has a blend between English and American - as heard [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1wZAwCOguQ here]].
* The Cryptkeeper from ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'' for the first season had a high pitched raspy voice, as the series went on his voice beame lower and more nasally.
* Bruce Wayne's voice started deepening during season 2 of ''Series/{{Gotham}}'' because his actor is pubescent.
* In ''Series/BlueBloods'', Danny Reagan's kids' voices deepen around season 6, which is when their actors hit puberty.
* In ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'', Stephanie Beatriz played Rosa Diaz with a higher-pitched voice in early episodes before settling on a lower gruffer tone.
