* ''WebVideo/OverlordDVD'': In keeping with his supervillain persona, Doomcock has a deep, booming voice courtesy of a pitch-adjustment filter. The creator has posted new videos without the filter at least once, allowing viewers to hear his real voice before he caught it and reuploaded the video with the proper "Doomcock" pitch.

* This is very much a staple with the BigBad of a Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon movie:
** Stromboli and the Coachman from ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'' have very deep voices, both provided by Charles Judels, with the former having NoIndoorVoice.
** Lady Tremaine from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' and Maleficent from ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'' are vintage examples of ContraltoOfDanger, with both originally being voiced by Eleanor Audley, and by Creator/SusanneBlakeslee in many of their later appearances.
** Shere Khan from ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967'' has a purring, urbane baritone provided by Creator/GeorgeSanders, with Creator/TonyJay taking over in later appearances.
** The Horned King from ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'' speaks in a deep, eerie voice, provided by Creator/JohnHurt.
** Ursula from ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'', is another villainous contralto, provided by Creator/PatCarroll.
** [[EvilPoacher Percival C. McLeach]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuersDownUnder'', voiced by Creator/GeorgeCScott.
** Nobody has a [[RatedMForManly manlier baritone]] than Gaston (Richard White) in ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast''! Except maybe the eponymous Beast.
** [[EvilChancellor Jafar]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' has a deep, [[ObviouslyEvil undeniably sinister]] voice, courtesy of Jonathan Freeman.
** Much like Shere Khan, [[EvilUncle Scar]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' has a refined, British-accented baritone, provided by Creator/JeremyIrons. [[Creator/JamesEarlJones His big brother’s voice is still deeper though]].
** Judge Claude Frollo from ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney'', voiced by Creator/TonyJay.
** Shan-Yu, the brutish Hun leader from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'', also has the gravely voice of Creator/MiguelFerrer.
** Clayton from ''WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}}'', another EvilPoacher, speaks with the deep voice of Creator/BrianBlessed, though far more restrained than most of Blessed’s roles.
** Befitting his massive size, Gantu from ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'' has a deep, booming voice, provided by Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson.
** Dr. Facilier, the evil Shadow Man from ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' has a very deep voice, courtesy of ComicBook/{{Spawn}} himself, Creator/KeithDavid.



** Monsieur D'Arque and Gaston have deeper voices than the more neutral townspeople and the good-aligned castle servants.



* In the Disney version of ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'', [[SinisterMinister Judge Claude Frollo]] is given a deep, dark baritone by the late great Creator/TonyJay.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Jungle Book|1967}}'' gives us Shere Khan's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcLw9-3W_qo one-line]] VillainSong. He's pretty deep-sounding the rest of the time due to being voiced by George Sanders who made an EvilBrit par excellence.



* Scar in ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994''; though Mufasa's voice is deeper, Scar's voice is much deeper than the main hero (and tenor), Simba.
* Ursula in ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'' has a contralto voice, the deepest a woman can have. Fittingly, her appearance is designed after a drag queen.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'': [[BigBad Shan-Yu]] the brutish Hun leader. Helps from having the gravely deep voice of the late great Creator/MiguelFerrer.



* Dr. Facilier, the evil Shadow Man from ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' has a very deep voice, courtesy of ComicBook/{{Spawn}} himself, Creator/KeithDavid.

* The adaptation of Long John Silver from ''Animation/TreasureIsland1988'' may [[VocalDissonance look non-threatening]] because of his short, rotund body and page boy haircut, but don't let that fool you, he has a low, gravelly voice befitting of a hardened pirate thanks to his voice actor, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. In contrast to his book counterpart's more boisterous personality, this version ''always'' speaks calmly, even when he's being threatened with violence, making him a chilling antagonist.
