* ''Franchise/StarWars'': Played with. In ''The Phantom Menace'', fourteen year old Queen Amidala intentionally speaks with a low voice and upper-class accent to make herself seem more mature and commanding than her appearance would suggest (her decoy Sabé copies this voice, which helps to disguise their differences). However, outside of her role as queen, Padmé uses her normal, more high-pitched voice (which helps her blend in with her handmaidens). After she steps down from the throne and becomes a senator, she uses her normal voice all the time (save for one moment in ''Queen's Shadow'', where she uses "the queen's voice" to tell Clovis off when he gets too handsy with her).

* In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsFromZeroAndTrailsToAzure The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure]]'', one of the sidequests involves your main character filling in for the cat mascot character Mishy of Mishelam Wonderland when the normal actor is off sick for the morning, with Tio, a Mishy super-fan, self-inserting herself into the role of Mishy's sister Mishette. After the shift is over, the regular guy arrives for the afternoon and shocks them both, but especially Tio, by being a gruff, middle-aged, deep-voiced man. The second he gets into costume, he addresses the two in typical Mishy style and Lloyd comments that his voice sounded like it shifted three whole octaves, that there can be no doubt that he's the real Mishy.

Some people often put on a certain tone, pitch, dialect, and inflection for particular professions. Especially in jobs that require them to interact with higher ups, like salespersons; ones where they persuade/inform an audience, like orators and news reporters; or most commonly, acting.

Outside of their jobs however, these people can sound remarkably different. For example, a character who uses a deep and commanding voice during speeches can suddenly sound rather high and soft-spoken when off-stage.

Outside of their jobs jobs, however, these people can sound remarkably different. For example, a character who uses a deep and commanding voice during speeches can suddenly sound rather high and soft-spoken when off-stage.



The professional voice can be achieved through several ways. Some, especially those who have great control over their vocal cords, can physically change how they sound without using any external devices; others prefer to use a voice modulator/filter if they aren't too adept at modifying their voice practically.

Compare SingingVoiceDissonance, where a character's singing voice sounds very different from their speaking voice, and SecretIdentityVocalShift, if the character's profession is being a superhero or supervillain and they want to disguise their identity by altering their voice. If the character chooses to lip sync to a pre-recording of another character with a more desirable voice, that's an example of ThatSyncingFeeling.

Some people often put on a certain tone, pitch, dialect, and inflection for particular professions. Especially in jobs that require them to interact with higher ups, like salespersons; ones where they persuade/inform an audience, like orators and news reporters; or most commonly, acting.

Outside of their jobs however, these people can sound remarkably different. For example, a character who uses a deep and commanding voice during speeches can suddenly sound rather high and soft-spoken when off-stage.

This is TruthInTelevision for a lot of people who use a different voice in a professional setting than their regular one. Two common examples being a friendlier tone of voice while working customer service, or using a lower register in order to be taken more seriously when speaking, especially if they have a naturally higher voice.

Some also change their voice to project themselves at louder volumes. This is particularly useful in theatre plays, where actors are required to speak up in order for the audience to hear their lines.

The professional voice can be achieved through several ways. Some, especially those who have great control over their vocal cords, can physically change how they sound without using any external devices; others prefer to use a voice modulator/filter if they aren't too adept at modifying their voice practically.

Compare SingingVoiceDissonance, where a character's singing voice sounds very different from their speaking voice, and SecretIdentityVocalShift, if the character's profession is being a superhero or supervillain and they want to disguise their identity by altering their voice. If the character chooses to lip sync to a pre-recording of another character with a more desirable voice, that's an example of ThatSyncingFeeling.

They are interrupted, however, by a call from Makina's office, which she takes, completely changing in stature, tone of voice, and even accent. Apparently observing this change for the first time, Kasumi gets up and leaves the room to get a hold of her feelings, realizing that she has fallen in love with Makina (specifically, with her professional persona) for the second time.

* ''Film/SorryToBotherYou'' features the "white voice" that various black characters use at different points, where their dialogue is overdubbed by white actors in a [[LipLock deliberately bad way]].
-->'''Langston:''' It's not really a white voice, it's what they wished they sounded like. What they think they're supposed to sound like
* ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'': During the "Roger Rabbit shorts", Baby Herman uses a cute and innocent baby voice. But off-camera, Herman sounds like a raspy, cigarette-laden 53-year-old man, [[OlderThanTheyLook which actually reflects his true age]].
* ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'': When speaking to his subjects, the "wizard" uses a modulator that deepens his voice and makes him sound strong and commanding. After being exposed, his voice has a higher pitch and he sounds like the meek, mild-mannered fellow he actually is.

* ''Series/TheDropout'': Elizabeth Holmes puts on a fake contralto voice to sound more professional and authoritative in public, in contrast to her higher sounding natural voice.
* In TheNineties version of the Chilean SketchComedy show ''El Jappening con Ja'', there is a section called "Le Bisoñé", a hair salon owned by [[QueerPeopleAreFunny two funny queer guys]]. One of their iconic routines is when they get telephoned and they answer with a ManlyMan voice, usually when someone calls for some of the girls at the hair salon, just to get exhausted making that voice, so those two talk on the phone by turns since it's too much manly for them.
* ''Series/FatherTed'': Fred Rickwood, one of the producers for the Eurosong contest, has a perfectly clear and understandable voice... when he's on stage presenting the Irish candidates. Off-stage, he speaks so fast, and with such a thick accent, that he's TheUnintelligible. (though apparently, his [[StraightGay boyfriend]] and partner Charles Hedges can [[IntelligibleUnintelligible understand him perfectly]].
* ''Series/ParksAndRecreation'': DeadpanSnarker April normally speaks in a completely flat monotone. In "[[Recap/ParksAndRecreationS04E13 Bowling for Votes]]," she volunteers to call people to try and raise funds for Leslie's campaign, and, upon learning that the person who raises the most money wins two movie tickets, becomes determined to win. This leads to a montage of her expertly changing her voice and delivery to appeal to different voters; we see her being extremely perky and polite in a much higher voice than normal, then having a very rapid-fire and casual conversation in Spanglish, and acting like a cheery SouthernBelle using folksy-sounding idioms she's clearly making up on the spot.
-->'''April:''' Hello, is this Mrs. Gallivan? Well, my name is April, and wouldn't you know it, I'm raising money for a city council candidate I believe in. ''[cut to next call]'' No, ''mira, mira, mira, mira, mira''. It's, like, whatever you want. Like, ten dollars. It don't matter. ''[cut]'' Well, I reckon it's just like Grammy Martha told me and my cousins, "You can't eat the biscuits if you don't pay for the flour!"

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': Subverted with Katherine. She is almost never seen outside of the Adventurer's Guild reception desk where she speaks in a rather robotic tone. Come Sumeru, the Traveler and Paimon find her away from the reception desk for the first time and find her acting all cheerful with her voice having more personality to it. [[spoiler:Then it turns out that she was just possessed by Nahida the whole time and that all of the Katherines are Fatui-made androids.]]
