* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory 2'': Buzz encounters another Buzz who believes himself to be the real Buzz.

* A variation happens in ''SuperTroopers'', when Farva quotes [[DaChief O'Hagan's]] favorite expression in the same fake Irish accent. The (drunk) O'Hagan asks the other cops if he really sounds like that. Their expressions are priceless, as they try to come up with a good answer, especially since they're all pretty wasted.

* Emma Bull's ''WarForTheOaks'' has the heroine under a spell that removes all glamours. A side-effect is that she can hear her voice as she sounds to other people, which is a bit disorienting.

* The ''actual'' [[Webcomic/MegaTokyo Dom]] once blogged on the ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo'' website that having appeared once on ''Jeopardy!'', he could never watch the tape because his recorded voice disturbs him too much.

* Allegedly, regarding the voice actors' impersonations of them in ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'', each of TheBeatles believed that his own voice was slightly off, but the other three were perfect imitations.

** [[OverlyLongGag Oh, like you don't?]]

* ''ToyStory 2'': Buzz encounters another Buzz who believes himself to be the real Buzz.

* A variation happens in ''SuperTroopers'', when Farva quotes [[DaChief O'Hagan]]'s favorite expression in the same fake Irish accent. The (drunk) O'Hagan asks the other cops if he really sounds like that. Their expressions are priceless, as they try to come up with a good answer, especially since they're all pretty wasted.

* On one episode of ''{{Mythbusters}}'', Grant recorded the "Coming up on Mythbusters!" pre-commercial thing on one of the oldest voice recording machines, and after hearing it played back asked if he really sounded like that. Then the next several things he said were all in a deliberately deeper voice.

* ''SouthPark'': After a dragon is summoned from everyone overusing the word "shit", it sounds exactly like Cartman.

* ''{{Futurama}}'', "A Head in the Polls": Nixon hears a recording of himself and says...

* ''FamilyGuy'': Lois hears her own voice when she speaks into a microphone.

* The ''actual'' [[{{Megatokyo}} Dom]] once blogged on the ''{{Megatokyo}}'' website that having appeared once on ''Jeopardy!'', he could never watch the tape because his recorded voice disturbs him too much.

* In the ''StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' CGI parody ''Sev Trek: Puss in Boots'', Commander Barf is impersonated by a shapeshifting Alien of the Week.

* A variation from ''[[Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove The Emperor's New Groove]]'': Yzma has [[spoiler:been turned into a fluffy little cat]] and reacts to her voice sounding [[spoiler:higher]] with "Is that my voice? Is that... ''my'' voice?!"

* This [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl6SMOSXa7A&feature=player_embedded sound test]] for AlfredHitchcock 's "Blackmail"

* Emma Bull's ''{{War for the Oaks}}'' has the heroine under a spell that removes all glamours. A side-effect is that she can hear her voice as she sounds to other people, which is a bit disorienting.

* Another variant in ''{{MST3K}}'', "Invasion of the Neptune Men".

* ''ToyStory 2'': Buzz encounters another Buzz who believes himself to be the real Buzz.

* During Thane's loyalty mission in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', Captain Bailey mentions that there's a [[PlayerCharacter Shepard]] VI--and you get to see it in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3''. It's an exaggerated version of Shepard's canon "personality" - the Paragon version is ridiculously cheery and gung-ho, while the Renegade version suggests you tear it out of its socket and run off if you can't pay.
--> '''Paragon VI:''' "There's nothing in this galaxy we can't beat if we work together! ''({{beat}})'' Except [[BigBad the]] [[EldritchAbomination Reapers]]. Ever seen the size of one of those things?"
--> '''Renegade VI:''' I find the best advanced battlefield strategy is to have more bullets than the other guy.

** Then she can't resist borrowing his "Transform and roll out".

** Why are you singling me out? You sound pretty silly too.

* In ''The Tamuli'' series by David Eddings, Sparhawk has this reaction when they magically disguise Berit as Sparhawk.

** [[OrSoIHeard Apparently]], this was Eartha's reaction when she heard what [[spoiler: cat!]] Ysma's voice sounded like. They [[ThrowItIn threw it in]].

* In one of the ''RedDwarf'' books Rimmer recalls being horrified at hearing his own voice on an answering machine, as he learned that what he'd imagined to be a clear and proper voice of command proved to be a heavily accented mumbling. He's remembering this because of meeting a hologram of himself, and seeing his own mannerisms and personality from the outside is 1000 times worse.

* Averted in an episode of ''GetSmart'', when Sigfried has captured Max to replace him with a duplicate (also played by Don Adams). Max remains calm until the duplicate demonstrates he's also got the voice down.

* The leads of ''[=~Avatar: The Last Airbender~=]'' are very defensive of this trope. Particularly Katara in "The Ember Island Players":
-->'''Stage!Katara:''' [[LargeHam And we must never relinquish hope, even to our dying day!]]\\

-->'''Stage!Iroh:''' Let's forget about the Avatar, and get massages!
-->'''Stage!Zuko:''' HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT!?

* Allegedly, regarding the voice actors' impersonations of them in ''YellowSubmarine'', each of TheBeatles believed that his own voice was slightly off, but the other three were perfect imitations.

* During Thane's loyalty mission in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', Captain Bailey mentions that there's a [[PlayerCharacter Shepard]] VI--and you get to see it in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3''. It has lines such as "There's nothing in this galaxy we can't beat if we work together! ''({{beat}})'' Except [[BigBad the]] [[EldritchAbomination Reapers]]. Ever seen the size of one of those things?" This is Shepard's reaction.
