* Percy and James were both voiced by women in ''[[WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine Thomas and the Magic Railroad]]''. This came about fairly late in the movie's production - both were originally voiced by Michael Angelis (then the narrator of the ''Thomas the Tank Engine'' series in the UK), but test audiences thought he sounded too mature for either character.

** Similarly, in the dub of ''{{Naruto}}'', YuriLowenthal voices Sasuke even when he was a kid and later he voiced Simon of ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' both before and after the TimeSkip, though not in the DistantFinale (which happen the same in the original language as well). The same goes for Rossiu, though only in the dub (while in the Japanese version he retains a female voice actor even when we briefly see him in his ''fourties'')

* An unusual example that incorporates VocalEvolution can be found in Jason Spisak's performance as [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Bartz]] between the two ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' games.[[hottip:*:For context, Bartz is a DittoFighter who mixes and matches the moves of his allies, owing to his status as a 'mime' character. On top of this, he takes on a different tone of voice whenever he uses certain attacks; for instance, he uses a more gruff tone when copying one of Squall's moves, and takes on a more gallant register when copying the Warrior of Light or Cecil]] His voice holds a slightly deeper tone in the first game than in the prequel, which means that, while slightly jarring given that all of the cutscenes from the first game were reused in ''Duodecim'' (alongside his new battle lines), he gets the voices of the newly-added female characters down to a startling degree of accuracy when mimicking their attacks.

* On ''WesternAnimation/TeachersPet'', nine-year-old Leonard Helperman was voiced by Shaun Fleming, who was twelve when recording began in 1999 and sixteen when recording for the movie (Serving as the show's finale) was finished in 2003. Ian, another kid in the show, was voiced by Rob Paulsen, who also voiced some of the background students. This trope is played straight with Tyler, Taylor, and Trevor, as they're voiced by Pamela Adlon.

* In ''[[ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman Gatchaman II]]'', the lead villain Gel Sadra is meant to be a woman, but is voiced by the male Masaru Ikeda, who performs her in a barely-convincing, flamboyant falsetto tone. This confused the Saban dub team to the point where they initially changed "Mallanox" to be a man in the scripts, but later had to backtrack and refer to the character as a woman when it became hard to hide her backstory. Even so, they still kept R. Martin Klein as her voice actor when she was dressed in her full villain garb, while then having an unknown voice actress portray her while out of costume.

So both of The Diggers were voiced by the same person...until the end where the characters talk about how things are changing, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny one of the diggers says "Hey, what happened to my voice?"]] in a ''drastically'' different voice.

* ''VideoGame/OracleOfTao'' has most characters played by females, with the exception of one bit part (Bakamaru). God and Estheriel is voiced by actresses, but both roles are androgynous, since angels are [[NoBiologicalSex generally considered sexless]].
