** In ''Film/HomeAlone2LostInNewYork'', Kevin pulls the same trick, this time using the sequel ''Angels With Even Filthier Souls'' to scare away hotel staff who realized he was paying for the room with a stolen credit card. In the same movie he also uses a recording of his uncle singing in the shower, and how he got in the hotel in the first place was by using his own taped voice, slowed down so it would sound deeper.

* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': Lelouch uses this tactic early on when Kallen begins to suspect that he is the masked Zero. He records himself as Zero giving some orders and then has a subordinate play that recording into a phone call to Kallen (making sure she can see that he is standing right there in front of her, not speaking into a phone).

* In ''[[Literature/VorkosiganSaga The Warrior's Apprenctice]]'' this is actually attempted with a video call (albeit unsuccessfully). The would-be tricksters attempt to disguise the "seams" with artfully-placed little bursts of video static ("white fuzz on the screen"). The protagonist catches on when he notices an object on the desk of the person supposedly on the other end of the videoconference keeps flipping back and forth from being on the guy's right to being on his left.

** In the first, Kevin [=McAllister=] uses a VHS of the gangster film ''[[ShowWithinAShow Angels With Filthy Souls]]'' to pull this on a pizza delivery guy--both to hide that he's alone in the house, and to screw with the guy. When the delivery shows up, Kevin plays the movie, pausing or fast-forwarding where appropriate to sound like a conversation with the gangster Johnny... ending with the bit where Johnny pulls out a full-auto rifle and threatens to "pump your guts fulla lead!" He does the same thing to scare off the two burglars, using firecrackers in a cooking pot to make the fake gunfire more intimidating.
