You don't realize it. When screaming (even better if it's an OverlyLongScream), yelling, or even sometimes talking normally, your voice suddenly cracks and deepens or squeaks. It can be embarrassing, and for comedy and/or {{Narm}} (or probably for NarmCharm), especially if you're also entering puberty at the time. Or maybe just plain too much testosterone.

* A RunningGag in ''Teen Titans: Call of Blood'' is Robin/Damian being embarrassed by his voice cracking because, to quote Nightwing, "Puberty finally tracked him down." First, he tries to avoid talking, and later, a tirade comes out too high-pitched for his teammates to understand. It's especially ironic because the Batman from the future with the BadassBaritone the Titans are hosting for is an adult Damian.

This is more likely to happen to male characters, though female characters can also be victims. A common gag is for a nervous character to voice-crack as they say something, then clear their throat and repeat it in a deliberately much deeper voice (this often occurs when a character is ''trying'' to sound [[BadassBaritone tough and intimidating]] but can't quite pull it off). When it happens in drama (film/TV), it can be a signifier of fear, sadness or any other kind of emotional distress that causes the voice to crack when the person speaks. In music, it's often considered an EpicFail for singers.
