History Main / VoiceOfTheLegion

* ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'': Characters performing a FusionDance speak with the voices of both entities involved in the process (though each individual will speak on his/her own at times). There are exceptions, of course -- in the third season, this trope only applies to the American dub, as the Japanese version has the fused character speak in a third and singular voice.

* ''Anime/YuGiOh'': [[VoicesAreMental Whenever Marik possesses somebody, his voice overlays theirs]]. This later happens to Marik himself after his SplitPersonalityTakeover. Normal Marik has a high, nasal quality -- Dark Marik's voice is lower, snarlier, and overlaid by at least two or three others, some lower, some higher. Throw in the constantly stretching face, and you get the impression that something even worse than our resident villain is fighting to get out. Note that this is exclusive to the 4Kids dub -- in the Japanese original, Marik just takes on an eviler tone.

* In the ''Film/{{Stargate}}'' movie, Ra's voice definitely sounds like it's coming from the bowels of Hell, contrasting with his innocent {{Bishonen}} face. The TV series, of course, uses the effect also.

* The {{Silico|nBasedLife}}ids in Creator/SergeyLukyanenko's ''Literature/LineOfDelirium'' are floating columns of rock which natively communicate via modulated electromagnetic fields. Since most races communicate vocally, the Silicoids have learned to vibrate their entire bodies to produce sound, turning them into huge speakers. Due to this effect, a Silicoid sounds as if an entire choir is speaking. This is a non-evil example, though.

* ''Franchise/StarTrek'': "'''WE ARE THE BORG.'''" Of course, this is because they actually ''are'' all talking at once. An individual drone speaks with a slight "electronic" tone.

** Daniel sees a vision of a man who spoke with "the voices of a multitude" (Daniel 10:6).

* Countess Ingrid from ''VideoGame/BattalionWars'' literally gets a Voice of the Legion; souls of the undead soldiers (named the Iron Legion) fuse into a demon and possess her, giving her {{Magical Eye}}s and an echoey voice. It becomes more pronounced when anguished.

** Many characters in ''I'' and ''II'', including all Prime Evils and Lesser Evils, Archbishop Lazarus, the Nephalem (Barbarian Ancients)... hell, virtually every talking monster.

** Jason Bright from ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', a glowing ghoul leading the Bright Brotherhood, employs this in lieu of the typical raspy voice and hissing of most ghouls. Since he's a good guy (he's basically a prophet), it's used well to make him sound supernatural and enlightened rather than creepy.

** Ever heard the Naggarok's death scream? This plus BigNo, drawn out for ''25 seconds'', even after the ship itself explodes. Creepy as hell...

** Riku gets to do this in the first ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'' after [[spoiler:allowing Ansem to take partial possession of him]]. Their voices speak in a creepy-yet-awesome-as-hell unison for the next few scenes, until Riku starts to disagree with some of the decisions they're making and tries to reassert his own will.

** On a similar note, this happens whenever Cobray Gordon is possessed by [[spoiler:Ingram Prisken]] in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha 3''. However, he's still a good guy, which is a relief considering he's piloting a machine [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill that can erase its target from existence using a weapon powered by the spirits of the dead]].

** Seeing as the castle is basically [[MalevolentArchitecture a living building with the personality of one of a past evil heterodyne]] I'd probably liken it to having one voice come from every direction on a surround sound system.

* This effect is pretty much the whole point of a minor Website/YouTube fad called "Extra Scary", where the video is placed in a weird colour scheme and the voice track has several pitches playing in equal widths apart in a voice-of-the-legion-esque style. Also commonly done in WebAnimation/YouTubePoop for the same effect.

* In ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', the Delightful Children From Down the Lane literally are a voice of a legion. Seriously, five kids acting like just one kid?

* In the episode "Aftershock" of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'', Raven speaks like this during her fight with Terra. She also does this when she freaks out on Dr. Light during "Nevermore". Basically, this happens when her demon side is taking over, and you ''really'' [[HarbingerOfAsskicking wanna be elsewhere]] when it happens, especially if you're who pissed her off. It's too late by then, though.

** ''Franchise/TransformersGeneration1'': Devastator (and many other combiners over the years, especially on the Decepticon side) has/have a very effective version of this, to represent a gestalt entity speaking. Some non-gestalt examples would be the giant Omega Supreme, both G1 and Animated, and Astrotrain. The Insecticons have one, but Shrapnel really is repeating the end of his sentences, ''sentences''. [[BigGood Primus]] [[Anime/TransformersCybertron gets this too]], and [[PlanetEater Unicron]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie''. Of course, what did you expect from PhysicalGod TransformingMecha with planets as their altmodes? It's really something else with Unicron, because in addition he's such a LargeHam he should have a curly tail. In many series, every Transformer's voice has an effect that makes it sound a bit more "electronic", sort of like they're talking over a radio. In ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' it's a plot point: none of the beast-bots have it, but Optimus Primal gains it when he takes on his ancestor's [[OurSoulsAreDifferent spark]] and gains a new, more vehicle-like form.

* Throat singing is an art form practiced by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPSq-_jOLJ4 many different peoples]], though it's most commonly associated with the Inuit, the Tibetans, the Mongols, and the Tuvan people of southern Siberia. In the case of the latter two cultures, two or more pitches sound simultaneously over a fundamental pitch, producing a mesmerizing, even entrancing sound. They quite literally sing in more than one voice, as they are able to sing harmonies with one person.

* And, of course, we've all spoken into a fan at least once.

* In ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', the Delightful Children From Down the Lane literally are a voice of a legion. I mean, five kids acting like just one kid?

** Marcy speaks like this when possessed by the Core.
* ''Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': When the current Avatar enters the [[UnstoppableRage Avatar State]], they speak with the voices of their past incarnations -- all 1,000+ of them. And as Aang has shown us, when the Avatar's mad, [[GoodIsNotNice the effect is quite terrifying]]. However, [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Avatar Korra]] [[spoiler: eventually loses this ability completely after the Book 2 finale, where Unavaatu destroys Raava and subsequently, her connection with the past avatars. However, as long as her successors of the new cycle will continue living and doing their duty until the rest of their term, this trope may come back.]]

** Buufo. Justified, because he's actually a group of poliwogs, and it's hard to understand them if they talk out of sync.

%%** Maja from "Sky Witch" and "Something Big".

* This is [[HornyDevils Callie's]] version of shouting in ''WesternAnimation/UglyAmericans''.

The character's voice gains a reverberating [[PowerEchoes Echo]], sometimes a completely different voice(s) speaking in tandem and just ''slightly'' out of sync, almost mathematically calculated to just be able to distinguish one another. The character's voice will often [[PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep drop a tritone or a full octave]] and become [[EvilSoundsDeep deeper]], though even a falsetto can become jarringly creepy with the reverb alone.

This trope is named for IAmLegion, the mental version. Sometimes this overlaps with VoicesAreMental. May contain VaderBreath, may be used when HearingVoices. Contrast SpeakInUnison, where many people speak as one. Compare GutturalGrowler, EvilSoundsDeep, and EvilSoundsRaspy. [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant No relation to]] ManOfAThousandVoices.

* One of the first of a series of horror stories stories from the manga "Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi" had the main character, Ootsuka Kaho, and her three friends receive a cursed text message. When two of her friends suddenly disappear, Ootsuka begin to panic fearing she will be next, but is calmed by her remaining friend, Maaya, who reassures her that the other two will be found eventually. When Ootsuka, though her texts, finds Maaya on the roof, she notices her talking in a completely different voice, which then become many voices. In a TwistEnding, it's revealed that it was Maaya who was sending her the cursed texts. Her negative emotions were absorbed and amplified by malevolent spirits, covering her body in misshapen faces, including Ootsuka's two missing friends who were jealous of Ootsuka's relationship with a popular boy they were attracted to.
* Tetsuo talks like this in the Streamline Pictures dub of ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' when he mutates into the giant mass after losing control of his powers, in the Pioneer dub his voice remains normal until he tells Kaneda to get out of his body while he still can and screams in pain.
* Eren Jaeger from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' sometimes sounds like this when speaking from inside his titan form in the anime version. Thank god no one else seems to be able to hear him.
* In ''Manga/BirdyTheMighty Decode'': Birdy is a {{Human Alien|s}} galactic superheroine who merges her body with Tsutomu, a typical high school boy who she [[AccidentalMurder mistakingly kills]] during an intense battle with an alien criminal. Over time, Tsutomu's mind begans to claim dominance over Birdy's, his memories eventually melding with hers. This leads to Tsutomu inhabiting Birdy's body instead of his own for a short period, resulting in his (and her body's voice) speaking in sync of each other. However, no one else can hear this since this is in his own thoughts.
* Parodied in ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo'' when Bo-bobo, Don Patch, and Jelly Jiggler merge to form Bo-Patchiggler. He talks in all three voices, just not at the same time. All the other Bo-bobo Fusions, however, only speak with one voice.

* When Manga/{{Claymore}}s begin to [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Awaken]] they start to speak like this. Yoma and Awakened Beings speak with an Evil Echo whenever they're not disguised as humans.
* ''Manga/DGrayMan'' had [[spoiler:Jasdevi speak in this fashion when the two combine]].
* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' characters performing a FusionDance speak with the voices of both entities involved in the process (though each individual will speak on his/her own at times).
** There are exceptions, of course. In the third season this trope only applies to the American dub, as the Japanese version has the fused character speak in a third and singular voice.
* ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' gives us the example of [[spoiler:Fusion Zamasu]] in the Future Trunks Saga after Black and [[spoiler:Zamasu fuse with Potara earrings. It's his own voice doubled because Black is just another him in the body of another Goku.]]

** Any Fusion character from ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' (except the Kais, who retain the Supreme Kai fusee's voice) will speak with the voices of both their fusees in tandem, which might be the originator of this variation.
** And although the Portuguese dub may not be perfect, one thing they did well was giving Piccolo this kind of voice, suits him very well considering his status as alien and former status as "Demon King".
** In the Japanese version, Vegeta gains an echo effect to his voice when he becomes a Great Ape. In most English dubs, his voice as a Great Ape is pitch-shifted down considerably to create a similar effect.
** The Greek dub takes this trope to the extreme: almost every "evil" character, like King Piccolo, Piccolo Jr., Nappa and Vegeta (But not Raditz), Freeza, Cell, Babidi, Buu, the Ginyu Force, all Namekians (even though they're good) have this voice effect applied.
*** It gets a lot more confusing, actually. A few times, Vegeta's voice actor changed, and he isn't given the effect (guess it didn't work well with his new voice?) but it came back as soon as the old actor came back.
*** Tien's voice was also given the effect a couple of times, even though he didn't have it to begin with.
*** And in Dragon Ball GT and the movies, it's missing. Completely.
** Also averted in ''Z'''s Hungarian dub, save for a single sentence (Gotenks naming himself/themselves). They actually attempted it, but the actors found it too hard to do, so the fusions had only one voice. In ''GT'', however, they pulled it off.
* ''Manga/FairyTail'': Lullaby in the anime.
* In ''[[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]'', there's The Truth, Hulk!Envy, Pride, and Father toward the end of the series.
* Lots of examples in ''Manga/InuYasha''; standard anime monster speech.
* Himuro talks like this in the English dub of ''Anime/LupinIIIBloodSealEternalMermaid'' after he injects himself with Bikuni's blood causing him to become a giant hulking monster.
* The original ''Anime/MazingerZ'' had Baron Ashura, who would speak in a female voice when only its female half was visible, a male voice from the other side, and both at once when both sides of its face were visible.
* Buggy in the 4Kids dub of ''Manga/OnePiece'' would shout like this whenever he was angry.
* ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie'' touches on this trope for a few lines, though there's a somewhat mundane explanation: Mewtwo is communicating telepathically with the heroes as himself while, at the same time, the possessed Nurse Joy is speaking his dialogue aloud. The sound of their combined voices, particularly when both of them respond to a failed attack with "child's play", makes for one of the creepiest moments in the movie.
* In the late ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' manga, the cursed form of Rouge is the Vedic demon Ashura, who got three faces. The three mouths tend to talk simultaneously... though they don't always agree...
* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'': The Lord of Nightmares.
* The [[NightOfTheLivingMooks Mariages]] from ''AudioPlay/StrikerSSoundStageX'' all speak with an echo, being [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Cyborg Zombie]] {{Super Soldier}}s that possess a HiveMind.

* In ''Anime/TransformersEnergon'', the Alpha Quintesson's fifth, unseen "true face." [[spoiler: It sounds like many voices talking at once because it is -- "the voice of all those lost" when Unicron made a meal of his solar system.]]
* [[EvilDoll Kuruku]], a living puppet, has this as his usual speech pattern in the second ''Manga/{{Unico}}'' movie.
** And given his backstory, [[FridgeBrilliance it makes perfect sense]] - he is, after all, [[spoiler: a puppet that came to life after being cast aside. As such, he'd have been voiced by many people at some point prior to being thrown away]].
* ''Anime/YuGiOh'': Whenever Marik possessed somebody, his voice would overlay theirs. This later happened to Marik himself, after his SplitPersonalityTakeover. Normal Marik has a high, nasal quality. Dark Marik's voice is lower and snarlier, and overlaid by at least two or three others, some lower, some higher. Throw in the constantly stretching face, and you get the impression that something even worse than our resident villain is fighting to get out. Note that this is exclusive to the 4Kids dub while in Japanese, Marik just took on an eviler tone.
* ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' - [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Supreme King Judai/Jaden]] has this in the English dub.
* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', whenever [[TheHero Ichigo]] or one of the Visoreds [[SuperMode don their Hollow mask]], their voice gains [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSfqiMJbg_4 an echoey filter]]. WordOfGod explains this as [[EnemyWithin their inner Hollow]] speaking at the same time.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}'', Jesse's words are in red when he's using [[CompellingVoice the Word of God]]. Except when the typographer slips up, which happens.
* ComicBook/TheSpectre, who typically speaks in dripping green speech balloons.
* Franchise/SpiderMan's longtime enemy ComicBook/{{Venom}} (see below) is occasionally mentioned to have this, sometimes illustrated by black speech bubbles with distorted outlines.
-->'''Spider-Man:''' That weird-double sound when they talk through the suit. Like somebody yelling into a loudspeaker...
* [[AxCrazy Jei-san]] in ''ComicBook/UsagiYojimbo'' [[spoiler: and anyone who is possessed by him/it]].
* During the 90s the ''ComicBook/XMen'' villain [[Characters/MarvelComicsExodus Exodus]]'s speech bubbles were unique, somewhat like Deadpool's, except instead of being yellow they were purple-bordered. The effect they're going for was implied to be that he's always speaking verbally ''and'' telepathically simultaneously (see UnskilledButStrong above). Like many interesting 90s character tics, this was quietly dropped/forgotten about, as his post-90s speech balloons have been of ordinary color and border. Although in this case, he might have simply developed greater control over his powers offscreen.

* Played straight in a written fanfiction no less. [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4695538/1/Angel_of_Massacre Samael/The Boy in the Theater]] speaks in an alternating Bold and Italic accent. [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1053449/Numbnut10 The Author]] has complained about the difficulty involved.
* ''Fanfic/ADiplomaticVisit'': Heroic example in chapter 6 of the first sequel, ''Diplomat at Large'', where Pinkie temporarily speaks with two voices when another Power briefly inhabits her body so the two can deliver a simultaneous message of encouragement to her friends.

* In ''[[Fanfic/APonyOutOfPlace Flames and Twilight]]'' after Flare and Nightmare Moon [[FusionDance become]] Knightmare Nova he has the voices of Flare and Nightmare Moon speaking at once.

* In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'':

** Further confusing matters is the fact that in chapter 58, the Phoenix or possibly [[spoiler: Lily Potter]] [[spoiler: (it turns out to be both)]] speaks through him, the text being rendered in bold italics. Ditto, in the sequel, with [[spoiler: the Dark Phoenix.]]
** When Chthon possesses someone and speaks through them, his voice is a) creepy, b) constantly subtly shifting, c) makes reality scream. [[ObviouslyEvil Needless to say,]] he's the BigBad.
** The Elder Wyrm, arc villain of the ''Of Dungeons and Dragons'' arc in the sequel, has a voice described as resonating in the bone, rendered in bold.
* In ''Fanfic/CodePonyEvolution,'' X.A.N.A is implied to have every kind of scary voice at once.

* In ''FanFic/InnerDemons'', when [[BigBad Queen!]][[FaceHeelTurn Twilight Sparkle]] succeeds in [[OneWingedAngel transforming into an Alicorn]], it's commented on that her voice sounds like two voices speaking at once.
* In the ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'': ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship Is Magic]]'' / ''Series/DoctorWho'' crossover ''Fanfic/TimeLordsAndTerror,'' the G1 villain known as the Smooze is [[DarkerAndGrittier reimagined]] as [[AdaptationalBadass The]] [[EldritchAbomination S’Müz]], a being so infused with unreality that its voice is described as "a billion different voices in a billion different tones, a low flanging and echo present in it's ominous timbre". This is represented via text with bold italicized block capital letters colored red.
* Kenny's voice become like this in the first story of ''Fanfic/TheMysterionMythos'' after [[spoiler:he finally joins with The Shadow]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Care Bears Movie II|A New Generation}}'', the villain Dark Heart speaks this way occasionally.
* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle''. The title character and his dad are abducted and put in a black room where a sinister bunch of eyes yells at them in a deep voice... and then a woman is heard telling said bunch of eyes to "turn off the Big Voice." A door opens and we find out that the owner of those eyes is about the size of the alien kid that Chicken Little was returning to them.
* [[WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}The Other Bobinsky,]] towards the end of the film. "Not even that...'' anymore."''

--> ''Turn the darkness into LIGHT.''

* In the ''Nintendo [=3DS=] Sound'' application that comes on every UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS, this can be achieved by applying any of three effects to a voice recording: "Low Harmony," "High Harmony," and "Synth Harmony."
* Taken from ''VideoGame/AlanWake'' fluctuate from their normal voice to a strained voice to a creepy deep, snarly voice.

* In ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII'', there is one point where you are spoken to by a future version of yourself, voice acted with practically every reasonable possibility simultaneously. Male and female voices of both higher and lower pitch can be distinctly singled out if one listens closely. Also, in the beginning of the same expansion the "spirits" speak a prophecy in this sort of voice.

* Countess Ingrid from ''VideoGame/BattalionWars'' literally gets a Voice of the Legion; the undead soldiers (named the Iron Legion) souls fuse into a demon and possess her, giving her {{Magical Eye}}s and an echoey voice. It becomes more pronounced when anguished.

** "Alice's" voice is underscored by a deep, growling distortion. Depending on her mood at the time, her voice switches dominance between the more harsh persona and the softer register, even when mid-sentence.
** When Henry finally fights him in Chapter 5, [[spoiler: Sammy Lawrence]] speaks with multiple voices stacked on top of each other.

* The eponymous Darkness from ''VideoGame/TheDarkness'' video game speaks in a form like this. Sometimes guttural, a dry whisper or demonic screeching, often changing in between words in a sentence. Extra super creepy points go to Music/MikePatton for voicing the part and not using any post-processing to achieve the effects, just his own voice.

* The monster/demon/zombie/thing boss Chaos from the old Creator/LucasArts game ''VideoGame/{{Loom}}'' does this.

** Tyrael, in ''VideoGame/DiabloII'', is a rare example of an angel getting this ability. Strangely enough, [[spoiler:while Baal does have the Voice of the Legion at the end of Act 5, he does not have it in the original game when he's impersonating Tyrael, even though Tyrael does have it]].
* In ''VideoGame/Doom3'', the villain Malcolm Betruger, who has somehow become corrupted by the demons of Hell, spends the second half of the game taunting the player about how Hell will reign, how your soul will be his etc, in a typically villainous, nasal voice. But at the end, when you reach the final boss, you suddenly hear Betruger again: ''"So you made it this far?"'' in a cavernous, echoing roar. It's quite clear that something rather fundamental has changed about Dr Betruger, but we don't learn what until the final scene in the game. The souls which created the Soul Cube also have this.
* In ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse2'' this applies to Fused Zamasu as said above as well as Goku in Ultra Instinct, unlike Zamasu, UI Goku's has a deeper reverb overlayed with his normal voice that sounds like a much deeper Super Saiyan 4 Goku, so PowerEchoes applies as well.

* Jack of Blades in ''VideoGame/{{Fable}}'' does this. Ironically, the higher-pitched voice in the original ''VideoGame/FableI'' sounds a lot more impressive and eviler than the deep voice in The Lost Chapters.

** The Master from [[VideoGame/Fallout1 the first game]] has four voices that he alternates between. The dominant one is of an old man, another of an aggressive man, a sultry woman, and a CreepyMonotone computer-like voice. Creepy.

* In an earlier English translation patch of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'', killing the final boss [[spoiler:Julius, who is the reincarnation of the dark dragon Loptous]] with [[spoiler:Julia and her Naga tome]] causes him to utter his final dying words in all caps, except the first letter of each word is in lowercase, kIND oF lIKE tHIS. Intentional or otherwise, it really makes his death that much more awesome. Newer updates to the translation makes it completely in all caps, and this extends to killing [[spoiler:Julius with Seliph and his sword Tyrfing]].

* [[OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous Chaos]] in ''VideoGame/{{Hades}}'' speaks with a masculine and feminine voice at the same time. This represents that they ''are'' the PrimordialChaos - before gender, before singularity, there was Chaos.

** Riku gets to do this in [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI the first game]] after [[spoiler:allowing Ansem to take partial possession of him]]. Their voices speak in a creepy-yet-awesome-as-hell unison for the next few scenes, until Riku starts to disagree with some of the decisions they're making and tries to reassert his own will.

** [[VideoGame/MassEffect1 The first game]] plays this trope completely straight with [[spoiler:Sovereign]]. For bonus points, it even says that "We are Legion" at one point.

* The B&B corps from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'' speak with two voices overlapped, one female, different for each member, and the male beast, shared between all 4.

* ''VideoGame/MrTomatos'': In the event Mr. Tomatos [[spoiler:unleashes one of his many forms, his voice takes on a more sinister tone]]. If the player [[spoiler:makes him angry ten times, his voice will suddenly turn deep, barely comprehensible and satanic, while when you feed him enough food without maxing out his anger meter or put all of the food in the blender, his voice will become distorted, but not deep]].

* Near the end of ''VideoGame/SpaceQuestIVRogerWilcoAndTheTimeRippers'', after [[spoiler:[[BigBad Sludge Vohaul]]]] places his consciousness [[GrandTheftMe into the brain of Roger Wilco's son]], [[spoiler:Vohaul's voice]] is overlaid with that of the body he's in.

** Samir Duran already had this when he posed as an infested terran in Kerrigan's service, and got worse when he met Zeratul on the Dark Moon.

** SHODAN starts alternating between thousands of distinct voices after being hacked to remove her [[AIIsACrapshoot morality controls]]. Her distorted voice, which also stutters, slows or speeds up, and has a lot of background noise, is actually meant to mimic a malfunctioning sound card. With her inconsistent diction, she can alternate between EvilSoundsDeep and its inversion for equal menace, especially when all her distinct voices join in the same pitch change simultaneously.

* Guillaume, the MadScientist vampire of ''VideoGame/VampireNight'', has an echo voice. The clear one is a voice you'd expect from a guy in his 20s/30s who's off his rocker. The echo one sounds like a little girl's. Both voices have a metallic ring to them.

* A lot of the characters in ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' and ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', particularly those of undead, eldritch, demonic, or deity-based origins. Examples include:

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1FvVwvaQtE Ashbringer]] (which happens to be a weapon corrupted along with its wielder by the Lich King's influence). In addition, while it speaks the voice of the Lich King can be heard, but is more difficult to discern what is being said. However, in the final clip both voices are united in saying "Kill... them... all!" Creepy.

** Aeonus, the dragon of the Infinite Dragonflight, appears to speak with several voices at different time intervals a result of him being "lost" in time.

* ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': [[spoiler:When Melinda fuses with The Posessor Ghost to become Ghost Melinda, she gains a voice like this.]]

* From ''ComicBook/BuckGodotZapGunForHire'', there's He-Who-Must-Be-Watered, who speaks from many mouths and with many voices. (Humorously undercut by one mouth that speaks out of turn, paraphrasing whatever the other mouths just said [[LaymansTerms in a more colloquial style]].) He is, apparently, the personal servant of Lord Thezmothete, who is considered a Class 1 Power. (Humanity, by way of reference, is a Class 12 power.)

* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', Xykon's creepy speech is represented with black SpeechBubbles. In his case, we actually have in-comic (well, in-prequel-book) confirmation that he speaks with the Voice of the Legion [[note]]which also [[CelebrityResemblance sounds kind of like]] Creator/JamesEarlJones[[/note]]:
-->'''Xykon:''' Hey, what's up with my voice?\\

* In ''{{Webcomic/Paranatural}}'', Max [[spoiler: or whatever is possessing him]] speaks with two tails on his speech bubbles when conversing with Doorman in Chapter 3. Doorman is visibly disturbed by this, [[spoiler: claiming in Cursed Words that his master does not fear 'broken gods'. This implies that whatever's possessing Max, it's far from good news]].

* Jack of Blades in ''VideoGame/{{Fable}}'' does this. Ironically, the higher-pitched voice in the original ''VideoGame/{FableI'' sounds a lot more impressive and eviller than the deep voice in The Lost Chapters.

* In the late ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' manga, the cursed form of Rouge is the Vedic demon Ashura, who got three faces. The three mouths tend to talk simultaneously... though they don't always agree..

[[folder:Comics]]

* Arakune from ''VideoGame/BlazBlue''. Considering [[AndIMustScream his]] background this trope is just icing the cake on how ''freaky'' he is. For a less synchronized version, listen to Ragna when he's under the effect of [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Blood Cain.]]
** In one of the Story Mode Bad Endings The Black Beast speaks with the combined voices of [[spoiler:Ragna and v-13]].

* The Dark Eldar in ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'' all speak with this voice, most notably with the Scourge and the Haemonculus.
** Your MissionControl while playing as the [[HordeOfAlienLocusts Tyranids]] in ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar II'' is apparently part of the HiveMind, and sounds like male and female voices speaking in monotonous unison.

* Many characters in ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'' (''I'' and ''II''), including all Prime Evils and Lesser Evils, Archbishop Lazarus, the Nephalem (Barbarian Ancients)... hell, virtually every talking monster.
** Tyrael, in ''VideoGame/DiabloII'', also. A rare example of an angel getting this ability. Strangely enough, [[spoiler: while Baal does have the Voice of the Legion at the end of Act 5, he does not have it in the original game when he's impersonating Tyrael, even though Tyrael does have it]].
* In ''VideoGame/Doom3'', the villain Malcolm Betruger, who has somehow become corrupted by the demons of Hell, spends the second half of the game taunting the player about how Hell will reign, how your soul will be his etc, in a typically villainous, nasal voice. But at the end, when you reach the final boss, you suddenly hear Betruger again: ''"So you made it this far?"'' in a cavernous, echoing roar. It's quite clear that something rather fundamental has changed about Dr Betruger, but we don't learn what until the final scene in the game.
** The souls which created the Soul Cube also have this.

* The demons in ''Franchise/DragonAge'' have a distinct deep growling echo below their normal voices, it's very effective for raising the player's wariness when dealing with them since some have normal seductive voices or are AffablyEvil. The spirits also have an effect similar to the ones from the hanar mentioned above.

* ''VideoGame/DragonsDogma'': The [[spoiler: Seneschal]]'s voice is consisted of a male voice and female voice merged together, until [[spoiler: it takes off the hood and reveals to be Savan, an Arisen who achieved godhood, or any other Arisen who replaced him after he is set free]].

* Jack of Blades in ''VideoGame/{{Fable}}'' does this. Ironically, the higher-pitched voice in the original ''VideoGame/{{Fable|I}}'' sounds a lot more impressive and evil than the deep voice in The Lost Chapters.
* The Master from ''VideoGame/{{Fallout|1}}'' has four voices that he alternates between. The dominant one is of an old man, another of an aggressive man, a sultry woman, and a CreepyMonotone computer-like voice. Creepy.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'', upon revealing himself, Shuyin speaks with both his own voice and that of the person he's possessing, first Nooj and then Baralai.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'', Orphan's shell speaks in male and female voices in unison, and refer to themselves in the plural.

--> ''"Don't think you've won! I'll be back!"''\\
''"You think you can beat ''me'' with ''that''? Loser!''\\
''"That doesn't hurt!"''\\
''"I hope you can entertain me."''\\
''"How did you come this far?"''\\
''"You die here!"''

* Zappa in ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' does this occasionally; several of his lines, both during fights and in Story Mode conversations with other characters, are delivered in his own voice and S-ko's at the same time.
** Testament, from the same series, exhibits it all the time. In the first game, he speaks in a clear male/female duality, which sounds extra creepy during some of his more vocal specials. This effect was changed to a subtle trinoidal voice for the remaining games, though the effect was pumped up in Accent Core Plus, presumably to raise his creepy factor.

** [[ManipulativeBastard The]] [[TheChessmaster Gravemind]]. Considering it speaks in trochaic [[ArcNumber heptameter]], it gets even more creepy.
--->This one is machine and nerve,\\

And is the more deluded.
** Cortana also gets one in the similarly-named level of ''VideoGame/Halo3'', when aforementioned ManipulativeBastard Gravemind seems to be attempting to ''[[GrandTheftMe assimilate her]]''. It gets to the point where the hologram of Cortana switches to the Gravemind's odd tunnel vision effect.
* The Beast in ''VideoGame/HomeworldCataclysm'' uses the parts of all the transmissions it had recorded over millions of years to synthesise it's own messages, resulting in overlapping male and female voices, along with other disconcerting verbal habits... like referring to the units in its fleet as "selves" and to the enemy ships as "parts".

** Riku gets to do this in ''VideoGame/{{Kingdom Hearts|I}}'' after [[spoiler: allowing Ansem to take partial possession of him.]] Their voices speak in a creepy-yet-awesome-as-hell unison for the next few scenes, until Riku starts to disagree with some of the decisions they're making and tries to reassert his own will.
** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2'' -- Xion's voice has a reverberating quality when she shifts into her final battle form.
** And in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'' when Ven is possessed [[spoiler:by Vanitas. Music/JesseMccartney's and Haley Joel Osment's voice qualities are similar enough that their voices mesh a little ''too'' well.]]
* In ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' the champion Kalista speaks like this. Justified because she invites the souls of betrayed people to join her in her crusade against traitors in exchange for exacting their revenge.

* ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'' plays this trope completely straight with [[spoiler: Sovereign, the game's BigBad]]. For bonus points, it even says that "[[AC:We are Legion]]" at one point.
** ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' has Harbinger, who attains this when possessing other collectors.
** The second game reveals this to be true of all individual Reapers. Much like Geth platforms, the Reaper itself is merely the vessel housing multiple consciousnesses, operating with a singular directive and purpose.
** The hanar, which communicate with bioluminescence, but the TranslatorMicrobes give them a "forward echo" effect to their speech.

** Ironically, the geth sniper in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' that comes to be ''[[IAmLegion known as Legion]]'' doesn't use this trope, despite its consciousness consisting of 1,183 separate and distinct software programs. These pieces of software all have a single purpose, so it makes sense that Legion would only have a single voice, as only one program would have that purpose.
** In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', [[spoiler: Commander Shepard gets this in the Control Ending. '''ETERNAL. INFINITE. IMMORTAL.''']]
*** Also used with [[spoiler: The Catalyst, who speaks in a child's voice, but alternates its echoing voice between male and female Shepard voices]]. And for the [[spoiler: refusal ending]], it drops the child's voice all together for a much scarier one.

* Every Nazgúl speaks like this in ''VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfWar''. [[spoiler:Including Talion after he turns into one.]]

** In ''VideoGame/{{Mortal Kombat|9}} 2011'' the otherworldly ninja Ermac is composed of the souls of thousands of slain warriors, and speaks with a strongly echoed/reverbed voice to reflect this. Going a step further, Ermac refers to himself with the first-person plural: "We are Ermac. We are many. You are but one."
* ''VideoGame/MrTomatos'': In the event Mr. Tomatos [[spoiler:unleashes one of his many forms, his voice takes on a more sinister tone]]. [[spoiler:If the player makes him angry ten times, his voice will suddenly turn deep, barely comprehensible and satanic, while when you feed him enough food without maxing out his anger meter or put all of the food in the blender, his voice will become distorted, but not deep]].
* In ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'', [[spoiler:Aribeth de Tylmarande gets this when she [[FaceHeelTurn goes over]] to the DarkSide]].

* The [[ShadowArchetype Shadow Selves]] of ''VideoGame/Persona4'' onwards have this. Combined with their [[SupernaturalGoldEyes glowing yellow eyes]] and the fact that they offer "BreakThemByTalking" lectures like candy on Halloween, the overall effect is fairly terrifying. Special mention goes to [[spoiler:Shadow Teddie]] whose voice actor included EvilSoundsDeep and CreepyMonotone for good measure.
** [[spoiler: Nyx Avatar]] from ''VideoGame/Persona3'' has it too. It sounds pretty cool, which is a [[SequentialBoss very]] [[MarathonBoss good]] {{th|atOneBoss}}ing.

** [[spoiler: Wheatley]] says, "Welcome," and then, in a much deeper tone (with an echo): "TO MY LAIR!"

* In ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersia2008'', the god of darkness has a two distinct voices (one male and one female) that alternate speaking and will sometimes overlap. Each individual voice also has a reverberating echo to it.
-->'''Ahriman''': ''All you have to do, is'' '''ask.''' THE ASKING IS YOURS.\\
'''The Mourning King''': You know that is that I ask!\\
'''Ahriman''': ''[[DealWithTheDevil If you would have your wish]]''... [[DealWithTheDevil THEN GIVE ME]] ''[[DealWithTheDevil MINE.]]''
* Rachael from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations'': as if her Creepy Children Singing voice and mannerisms weren't enough, her "regular" voice is echoed by a much lower and sinister voice.
* In a trailer of ''VideoGame/{{RuneScape}}'', the {{narrator}}'s voice becomes this as she announces the begin of the [[ForeverWar God Wars]]. Interestingly, the "other" voice is actually higher than usual.

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog''
** Black Doom from ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'' had this to an extent. [[spoiler: Not that [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu it helped him.]]]]

* ''VideoGame/SoulSeries''

* Near the end of ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest IV'', after [[spoiler: [[BigBad Sludge Vohaul]] ]] places his consciousness [[GrandTheftMe into the brain of Roger Wilco's son]], [[spoiler: Vohaul's voice]] is overlaid with that of the body he's in.
* Dark Archons from ''VideoGame/StarCraft''.
** The Protoss in general, including the regular Archon.

* ''VideoGame/StarFox's'' Aparoid Queen speaks with a very low voice and a high voice simultaneously, which makes them sound sinister.

* In ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars Super Robot Taisen: Original Generations]]'': During her tenure being forced into the ODE plug, Lamia Loveless will gain this voice, the other voice is either Wilhelm von Juergen or Duminuss, depending on who's managing the ODE.
** On a similar note, this happens whenever Cobray Gordon is possessed by [[spoiler:Ingram Prisken]] in Alpha 3. Only, he's still a good guy, which is a relief considering he's piloting a machine [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill that can erase its target from existence using a weapon powered by the spirits of the dead]].
* The Liir in ''VideoGame/SwordOfTheStars'', being hermaphroditic telepaths, have a deep male and high female voice speaking slightly out of sync and in different tones of voice as their menu and combat sounds.
** The Suul'ka [[spoiler: very old, [[SpaceWhale very large]], and very insane Liir]] speak in deep menacing echo.
* ''VideoGame/SystemShock'''s SHODAN starts alternating between thousands of distinct voices after being hacked to remove her [[AIIsACrapshoot morality controls]]. Her distorted voice, which also stutters, slows or speeds up, and has a lot of background noise, is actually meant to mimic a malfunctioning sound card.
** See also: The Many from ''System Shock 2'' who has three voice actors. A variation, as each voice speaks distinctly and separately, but with identical tempo and diction.
*** And SHODAN in her appearance in the same. And it is terrifying.
*** With her inconsistent diction, she can alternate between EvilSoundsDeep and its inversion for equal menace, especially when all her distinct voices join in the same pitch change simultaneously.

** Richard in ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces'' has moments of this [[spoiler: once Lambda fully takes over]].

* In ''VideoGame/UltimateCustomNight'', [[Characters/FiveNightsAtFreddys Mangle]] is given voiced lines, but in order to continue the RunningGag about [[AmbiguousGender their gender]], they speak in both a male and female voice at once. This has the benefit of adding an even creepier effect to the near MachineMonotone the animatronics as a whole have. (The female voice is more prominent, though.)

* The Collective in ''VideoGame/{{Warzone 2100}}'' address the player and their own units in a menacing, reverb-laden voice. [[AC:"Warriors of the Collective, attack! Attack and destroy all who resist the machine!!"]]
* The Draug in ''VideoGame/{{The Witcher 2|AssassinsOfKings}}'' uses this to great effectiveness.
* A lot of the characters in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', particularly those of undead, eldritch, demonic, or deity-based origins. Examples include:
** The Lich King himself (speaks with the voices of Arthas and Ner'zhul when the minds join together in the beginning, but then reverts to the old-fashioned type by the arrival of the next game).

** The arch lich [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE2RZpLRFr0 Kel'Thuzad]].

** Death knights in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' have this as a selectable option in the game's sound menu.

** In ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} III'', when Arthas and Ner'zhul merged into the new Lich King, their only line was the two voices speaking in unison. In [=WoW=], however, this was scrapped and it's just a single (completely original) voice actor with echo added. This is because [[spoiler:the evil side of Arthas has taken control and proverbially killed both his good side and Ner'zhul]]. For whatever exact reason, you can briefly hear two voices when he growls after being hurt in the Wrathgate cinematic.
*** Ner'zhul also had the echoing version of this trope before the merge.
*** [[MultipleHeadCase Dentarg]] in ''Warcraft II Beyond the Dark Portal'' had such a voice. The main reason seems to be simply that his two heads are speaking in perfect unison[[note]]Which means that his voice of the legion is ''direct evidence'' of his threat: most Ogres don't have their heads work together all that well, but if they can co-operate well enough to speak in unison, and does so all the time...[[/note]].
*** Paladins in ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} II'' also have a low voice with a reverberating echo.

*** Aeonus the dragon of the Infinite Dragonflight, who appears to speak with several voices at different time intervals, a result of him being "lost" in time.
---->"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxeQkk1UcdY The time has come]] to shatter this clockwork universe forever(orever(rever(ever)let us no longer be slaves(aves(aves)of the hourglass(ass(ass) but i warn you(ou(ou(ou),those who do not embrace this greater path(ath(ath) shall become victims of its passing(assing(assing(assing)..."
** Although now impossible to loot, the Corrupted Ashbringer would speak to the player. In the first eleven speeches, Highlord Mograine, the Ashbringer himself, speaks as does an unknown voice. In the twelfth final speech, the voices merge. They closely resemble that of the Lich King and command the player to "kill them all."
** The H.P. Lovecraft-inspired old gods [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLCE18C6fKQ C'thun]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_n1An8buCQ Yogg-Saron]] (who can also impersonate other voices, such as the voice of his female mortal form, Sara).
** And many, many more(more)(ore)(ore)...

* ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': [[spoiler: When Melinda fuses with The Posessor Ghost to become Ghost Melinda, she gains a voice like this.]]
-->'''Dylan''': [[spoiler: (after Melinda explains how she turned into Ghost Melinda)]] Well thats about as twisted as your new voice!
* In ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' episode 6: [[AlwaysABiggerFish Stolas]] does this when speaking through a possessed human:
--> What’s the matter demon hunter? Never seen a '' REAL '' demon before?

* When The Meta from ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' talks (as opposed to snarling), you can make out a number of distinct voices speaking in unison, as befitting a composite consciousness.
** The AI Sigma has a deep echo to everything he says, which sharply contrasts his actual voice.

* ''Series/StarTrekPicard'': When [[spoiler:Seven Of Nine]] temporarily assumes the Borg Queen mantle in "Broken Pieces", she gains the reverberating, layered voice of other Borg, just with her voice dominant among the many.

* B-3-K, of ''Roleplay/YukariIsFree''. Portrayed in written form via different colors of text.

This trope is named for IAmLegion, the mental version. Sometimes this overlaps with VoicesAreMental. May contain VaderBreath, may be used when HearingVoices. Contrast SpeakInUnison, where many people speak as one. Compare GutturalGrowler, EvilSoundsDeep, and EvilSoundsRaspy.

* [[EvilDoll Kuruku]], a living puppet, has this as his usual speech pattern in the second ''Manga/{{Unico}}'' movie. Taken UpToEleven when he gets angry, though.

** Samir Duran, who already had this when he posed as an infested terran in Kerrigan's service, cranked it UpToEleven when he met Zeratul on the Dark Moon.

* One of a the first of a series of horror stories stories from the manga "Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi" had the main character, Ootsuka Kaho, and her three friends receive a cursed text message. When two of her friends suddenly disappear, Ootsuka begin to panic fearing she will be next, but is calmed by her remaining friend, Maaya, who reassures her that the other two will be found eventually. When Ootsuka, though her texts, finds Maaya on the roof, she notices her talking in a completely different voice, which then become many voices. In a TwistEnding, it's revealed that it was Maaya who was sending her the cursed texts. Her negative emotions were absorbed and amplified by malevolent spirits, covering her body in misshapen faces, including Ootsuka's two missing friends who were jealous of Ootsuka's relationship with a popular boy they were attracted to.

* In the ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'': ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship Is Magic]]'' / ''Series/DoctorWho'' crossover ''FanFic/TimeLordsAndTerror,'' the G1 villain known as the Smooze is [[DarkerAndGrittier reimagined]] as [[AdaptationalBadass The]] [[EldritchAbomination S’Müz]], a being so infused with unreality that its voice is described as "a billion different voices in a billion different tones, a low flanging and echo present in it's ominous timbre". This is represented via text with bold italicized block capital letters colored red.

* ''Film/{{Ghostbusters 1984}}'': "There is no Dana, [[ThatManIsDead only ZUUL!]]" Immediately {{lampshade|Hanging}}d: "What a lovely singing voice you must have".

* Raezazel the Cunning from the ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' novel ''[[Literature/GreyKnights Hammer of Daemons]]'' is said to speak with a hundred voices at least.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Doom 3}}'', the villain Malcolm Betruger, who has somehow become corrupted by the demons of Hell, spends the second half of the game taunting the player about how Hell will reign, how your soul will be his etc, in a typically villainous, nasal voice. But at the end, when you reach the final boss, you suddenly hear Betruger again: ''"So you made it this far?"'' in a cavernous, echoing roar. It's quite clear that something rather fundamental has changed about Dr Betruger, but we don't learn what until the final scene in the game.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2}}'' this applies to Fused Zamasu as said above as well as Goku in Ultra Instinct, unlike Zamasu, UI Goku's has a deeper reverb overlayed with his normal voice that sounds like a much deeper Super Saiyan 4 Goku, so PowerEchoes applies as well.

** Jason Bright from ''Videogame/FalloutNewVegas'', a glowing ghoul leading the Bright Brotherhood, employs this in lieu of the typical raspy voice and hissing of most ghouls. Since he's a good guy (he's basically a prophet), it's used well to make him sound supernatural and enlightened rather than creepy.

* In an earlier English translation patch of ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemJugdral Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War ]]'', killing the final boss [[spoiler:Julius, who is the reincarnation of the dark dragon Loptous]] with [[spoiler:Julia and her Naga tome]] causes him to utter his final dying words in all caps, except the first letter of each word is in lowercase, kIND oF lIKE tHIS. Intentional or otherwise, it really makes his death that much more awesome. Newer updates to the translation makes it completely in all caps, and this extends to killing [[spoiler:Julius with Seliph and his sword Tyrfing]].

** Cortana also gets one in the similarly-named level of ''VideoGame/{{Halo 3}}'', when aforementioned ManipulativeBastard Gravemind seems to be attempting to ''[[GrandTheftMe assimilate her]]''. It gets to the point where the hologram of Cortana switches to the Gravemind's odd tunnel vision effect.

* [[spoiler:Colonel Redips]] from ''Videogame/MegaManXCommandMission'' gets this when he uses the Supra-Force Metal to become [[spoiler:Great Redips]].

** [[spoiler: Nyx Avatar]] from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} '' has it too. It sounds pretty cool, which is a [[SequentialBoss very]] [[MarathonBoss good]] {{th|atOneBoss}}ing.

* ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'':

* The BigBad in the first ''Videogame/{{Shadowman}}'' game speaks in a multitude of reverberating voices of various tones and pitches at the same time. Fitting, considering he is Legion ''himself''.

** Infinite from ''Videogame/SonicForces'' has this down [[https://youtu.be/Mn6uqp_mr98?t=33s to perfection]].

* Because its a combination of multiple spirits, Tsukuyomi's voice in ''VisualNovel/SpiritHunterNG'' has multiple reverbs to match the multiple people that are speaking as one.

* In the episode "Aftershock" of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', Raven speaks like this during her fight with Terra. She also does this when she freaks out on Dr. Light during "Nevermore". Basically, this happens when her demon side is taking over, and you ''really'' [[HarbingerOfAsskicking wanna be elsewhere]] when it happens, especially if you're who pissed her off. It's too late by then, though.

* In ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' we have a (mostly) heroic example. Dr. Fate (Nabu) speaks with his very deep voice overlying the voice of his host.

* In the first ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' game, players initiating a new game from the title screen will be greeted by a growling male and chanting female voice uttering "[[TitleDrop DEVIL MAY CRY]]" in unison.

* ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' gives us the example of [[spoiler:Fusion Zamasu]] in the Future Trunks Saga after Black and [[spoiler:Zamasu fuse with Potara earrings. It's his own voice doubled because Black is just another him in the body of another Goku.]]
* ''Anime/YuGiOh'': Whenever Marik possessed somebody, his voice would overlay theirs. This later happened to Marik himself, after his SplitPersonalityTakeover. Normal Marik has a high, nasal quality. Dark Marik's voice is lower and snarlier, and overlaid by at least two or three others, some lower, some higher. Throw in the constantly stretching face, and you get the impression that something even worse than our resident villain is fighting to get out. Note that this is exclusive to the 4Kids dub while in Japanese, Marik just took on an eviler tone.
* When Chrono from ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'' begins to transform into his [[OlderAlterEgo true form]], his voice takes on an ethereal-sounding echo. (However, once he transforms his voice sounds normal, only deeper.) This is particularly noticeable in the second episode, when he's trying to transform without Rosette releasing the seal.
* The [[NightOfTheLivingMooks Mariages]] from ''AudioPlay/StrikerSSoundStageX'' all speak with an echo, being [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Cyborg Zombie]] {{Super Soldier}}s that possess a HiveMind.

* In ''[[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]'', there's The Truth, Hulk!Envy, Pride, and Father toward the end of the series.

* ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie'' touches on this trope for a few lines, though there's a somewhat mundane explanation: Mewtwo is communicating telepathically with the heroes as himself while, at the same time, the possessed Nurse Joy is speaking his dialogue aloud. The sound of their combined voices, particularly when both of them respond to a failed attack with "child's play", makes for one of the creepiest moments in the movie.
* ''Manga/DGrayMan'' had [[spoiler:Jasdevi speak in this fashion when the two combine]].

* When Manga/{{Claymore}}s begin to [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Awaken]] they start to speak like this. Yoma and Awakened Beings speak with an Evil Echo whenever they're not disguised as humans.
* One of a the first of a series of horror stories stories from the manga "Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi" had the main character, Ootsuka Kaho, and her three friends receive a cursed text message. When two of her friends suddenly disappear, Ootsuka begin to panic fearing she will be next, but is calmed by her remaining friend, Maaya, who reassures her that the other two will be found eventually. When Ootsuka, though her texts, finds Maaya on the roof, she notices her talking in a completely different voice, which then become many voices. In a TwistEnding, it's revealed that it was Maaya who was sending her the cursed texts. Her negative emotions were absorbed and amplified by malevolent spirits, covering her body in misshapen faces, including Ootsuka's two missing friends who were jealous of Ootsuka's relationship with a popular boy they were attracted to.
* ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' - [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Supreme King Judai/Jaden]] has this in the English dub.

* Buggy in the 4Kids dub of ''Manga/OnePiece'' would shout like this whenever he was angry.
* In ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'', one of the effects of the [[CannibalismSuperpower Kakuja]] form is an echoing, distorted voice. The CreepyChild-like Eto speaks like this normally, one of our early clues that there's some very strange about her.
* ''Manga/FairyTail'': Lullaby in the anime.
* Eren Jaeger from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' sometimes sounds like this when speaking from inside his titan form in the anime version. Thank god no one else seems to be able to hear him.
* Tetsuo talks like this in the Streamline Pictures dub of ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' when he mutates into the giant mass after losing control of his powers, in the Pioneer dub his voice remains normal until he tells Kaneda to get out of his body while he still can and screams in pain.
* Himuro talks like this in the English dub of ''Anime/LupinIIIBloodSealEternalMermaid'' after he injects himself with Bikuni's blood causing him to become a giant hulking monster.

* Franchise/SpiderMan's longtime enemy ComicBook/{{Venom}} (see below) is occasionally mentioned to have this, sometimes illustrated by black speech bubbles with distorted outlines.
-->'''Spider-Man:''' That weird-double sound when they talk through the suit. Like somebody yelling into a loudspeaker...

* A poltergeist girl in ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' has this when angered.
* In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'':

* Played straight in a written fanfiction no less. [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4695538/1/Angel_of_Massacre Samael/The Boy in the Theater]] speaks in an alternating Bold and Italic accent. [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1053449/Numbnut10 The Author]] has complained about the difficulty involved.
* ''Fanfic/ADiplomaticVisit'': Heroic example in chapter 6 of the first sequel, ''Diplomat at Large'', where Pinkie temporarily speaks with two voices when another Power briefly inhabits her body so the two can deliver a simultaneous message of encouragement to her friends.
* In ''[[Fanfic/APonyOutOfPlace Flames and Twilight]]'' after Flare and Nightmare Moon [[FusionDance become]] Knightmare Nova he has the voices of Flare and Nightmare Moon speaking at once.

* In the ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'': ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship Is Magic]]'' / ''Series/DoctorWho'' crossover ''FanFic/TimeLordsAndTerror,'' the G1 villain known as the Smooze is [[DarkerAndGrittier reimagined]] as [[AdaptationalBadass The]] [[EldritchAbomination S’Müz]], a being so infused with unreality that its voice is described as "a billion different voices in a billion different tones, a low flanging and echo present in it's ominous timbre". This is represented via text with bold italicized block capital letters colored red.

* One of the experimental voices of God in ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'' involved using every voice Moses had ever heard in life at once. After creating "many excellent voices for Satan" and apparently running out of time they dropped all the special effects in favor of [[TalkingToHimself just having God use Moses' voice]] (though there is a kind of whispery after-affect audible).

* Aisling briefly speaks with this in ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfKells'' as she's attacked by Crom Cruach.
--> ''Turn the darkness into LIGHT.''

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Care Bears Movie II|A New Generation}}'', the villain Dark Heart speaks this way occasionally.

* Used for the voice of Drazuul in the film ''Film/TheGamersDorknessRising''

* Also used in ''Film/TheExorcismOfEmilyRose'' when the priest orders the possessing demon to name itself. Several voices answer back, in different languages, each overlapping. One of them actually identifies itself as Legion.
* ''Film/{{Ghostbusters 1984}}'': "There is no Dana, [[ThatManIsDead only ZUUL!]]" Immediately {{lampshade|Hanging}}d: "What a lovely singing voice you must have".

* Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'s father, in Creator/KennethBranagh's movie, has a Darth Vader rasp, a deep voice, and there's a mike (not shown, but you can hear it) inside his helmet. Possibly done to show just how scary Creator/WilliamShakespeare meant it to be when Hamlet is visited by his father's ghost.

* In ''Film/HowardTheDuck'', Dr. Jenning often has this sort of voice after the Dark Overlord possesses him (especially when he and the main characters are conversing at the truck stop).
* Creator/DavidLynch depicts the Voice used by the Bene Gesserit to control minds in ''Film/Dune1984'' this way. It gets especially creepy when Alia does it, being not yet 7 years old at the time.
* ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': En Sabah Nur sometimes sounds like he speaks with multiple voices, and Creator/BryanSinger has explained that this is the result of the character absorbing many "souls" throughout his lifetime.
* [[TheGrimReaper The Angel of Death]] in ''Film/HellboyIITheGoldenArmy''. Interestingly, one of its voices sounds a lot like [[Film/PansLabyrinth The Faun]], both of whom were played by Doug Jones.

* ''Film/ParanormalActivity'': A mockumentary, Blair Witch-like movie about a guy, Micah, who videotapes his girlfriend, Katie, as she is repeatedly tormented by a vicious unseen "demon" that has haunted her since her childhood. The attacks get progressively worse until the demon drags her from her bed and bites her. Right after the incident, she hysterically pleads to get out of the house. When making preparations for leaving, Micah finds Katie in bed, noticeably calm and wishing to stay despite her earlier pleas. When Micah leaves the room in confusion, Katie (in one of the scariest moments in the movie) whispers "I think we'll be [[AC:OK now]]", her voice layered with a chilling undertone, and then smiles eerily, suggesting she has been possessed by the demon. [[spoiler: This is boosted by the fact that they die that very night, or [[RevisedEnding Micah anyway]].]]
* ''Film/FiveGirls'', appropriately used for people possessed by Legion.
* Good ol' Satan from ''Film/TheLastTemptationOfChrist'' speaks in quite a few voices, one of them being this.

* Dr. Emilio Lizardo/Lord John Whorfin sounds this way in ''Film/TheAdventuresOfBuckarooBanzaiAcrossTheEighthDimension''.

* ''Film/{{Oblivion|2013}}'': [[spoiler:During the final confrontation, "Sally's" voice is layered with a very robotic voice]].
* ''Film/TheLastWitchHunter'': the Witch Queen has a serious case of multiple voices, ranging from an odd echo to four or five speaking at once.
* When [[spoiler:Newt]] speaks for the Precursors in ''Film/PacificRimUprising'', his voice gets a sinister-sounding overlay.
* ''Film/{{Upgrade}}'': It's unclear whether this is happening In-Universe or only for the audience's benefit, but once [[spoiler:STEM takes over Grey's body completely]], he talks with both voices simultaneously.
* ''Film/TheThing1982'': According to WordOfGod, whenever The Thing roars, it's roaring with the voices of all of its many victims.
* ''Film/HellraiserJudgement'': The angel Jophiel talks in an echoing voice to enhance her eerie, otherworldly nature.
* Mewtwo in ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'', in a contrast to earlier depictions, speaks with one male and one female voice layered over one another, presumably to highlight its [[AmbiguousGender androgynous nature]].
* ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'' treats the voice of Dormammu, overlord of the Dark Dimension, this way, by blending several different voice pitches together to create a [[EvilSoundsDeep booming]] voice fit for a giant, eldritch monster.
* When Jennifer is possessed in ''Film/KillerParty'', her voice becomes deep and masculine and gains distortion and reverb.
* Zoe speaks like this when she awakens after being possessed by the spirit in ''Film/{{Savaged}}''.
* In the ''Film/ArtemisFowl'' film, Holly Short speaks with the voice of the legion when trying to use the mesmer on Juliet Butler to get her to take off her sunglasses. Both her normal voice and a distorted, deep echoing voice can be heard atop it, reverberating, her eyes glowing yellow. It doesn't work, and Artemis appears to say as much and that they have protection. Since Short was trying to get Juliet to take off the sunglasses, Artemis is presumably referring to some sort of auditory protection.
* Mileena, one of Outworld's warriors, has this in ''Film/MortalKombat2021''. You can hear two distinct vocal tracks each time she talks.
* In ''Film/IlyaMuromets'', that's how Svyatogor, the giant knight, speaks at the beginning of the movie before turning to stone.

* A rare literary example of the tandem voice occurs in ''Literature/PerdidoStreetStation'', where the representative of the demons appears as a perfectly normal human man with a perfectly normal voice... followed on a slight delay by the faint and far more unsettling voice of his true form.

* Raezazel the Cunning from the ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' novel ''[[Literature/GreyKnights Hammer of Daemons]]'' is said to speak with a hundred voices at least.
* In a non-demonic example, the two-headed Puppeteers in Larry Niven's Literature/{{Ringworld}} series are the only species ''physically able'' to speak their native language, because all other races in Known Space only have one throat.
* The Goddess Verra in the ''Literature/{{Dragaera}}'' series. Vlad compares it to two identical voices speaking slightly out of sync.

* The {{Silico|nBasedLife}}ids in Creator/SergeyLukyanenko's ''Literature/LineOfDelirium'' are floating columns of rock which natively communicate via modulated electromagnetic fields. Since most races communicate vocally, the Silicoids have learned to vibrate their entire bodies to produce sound, turning them into huge speakers. Due to this effect, a Silicoid sounds as if an entire choir is speaking. This is a non-evil example, though.
* In ''[[Literature/TheBelgariad Polgara the Sorceress]]'', an adolescent Polgara shows off at one point by singing with three voices (and three different vocal ranges) at once.
* Done in a CreepyAwesome scene in ''[[Literature/TheQuantumThief Fractal Prince]]'' where Matjek Chen Prime assumes his true form:
-->The Vir dissolves around them. Matjek assumes his Prime aspect, the voice of a billion gogols, the Metaself, the keeper of the Plan, the Father of Dragons.

* The [[OurLichesAreDifferent lazar]] of ''Literature/TheDeathGateCycle'' speak with two voices, slightly out of sync- the body's voice speaks first, and then the soul's follows more quietly about a word behind. Living people who interact with them generally find the effect incredibly frustrating and unsettling.

* In ''Literature/TheZombieKnight'', a reaper servant's [[SuperMode hyper state]] causes the reaper's and servant's souls to temporarily fuse, causing them to speak an a one-physical-one-mental double voice.

* In contrast to ''Franchise/SuperSentai'', ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'', when aliens speak, applies effects to their voices, especially the reverberating laughter of [[DittoAliens Baltan]]-seijin.
* In the ''Series/TalesFromTheDarkside'' episode "I'll Give You a Million" the Devil speaks in a multitracked voice when he comes to collect the souls of both men who made a pseudo-[[DealWithTheDevil Faustian]] bargain.

* Manah likes to do this in the ''VideoGame/{{Drakengard}}'' series.

* In ''VideoGame/DragonQuestXI'', Gyldygga speaks in tandem with [[spoiler:her regular Mia voice]] and a beastly sounding voice after transforming into her OneWingedAngel form.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Doom 3}}'', the villain Malcolm Betruger, who has somehow become corrupted by the demons of Hell, spends the second half of the game taunting the player about how Hell will reign, how your soul will be his etc, in a typically villainous, nasal voice. But at the end, when you reach the final boss, you suddenly hear Betruger again: ''"So you made it this far?"'' in a cavernous, echoing roar. It's quite clear that something rather fundamental has changed about Dr Betruger, but we don't learn what until the final scene in the game.
** The souls which created the Soul Cube also have this.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2}}'' this applies to Fused Zamasu as said above as well as Goku in Ultra Instinct, unlike Zamasu, UI Goku's has a deeper reverb overlayed with his normal voice that sounds like a much deeper Super Saiyan 4 Goku, so PowerEchoes applies as well.

* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'':
** In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarII'', Lahkesis speaks like this at first, [[spoiler: because Atropos is inside her body]].
** In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarGhostOfSparta'', Erinys speaks like this by having Creator/JenniferHale and Creator/ErinTorpey talk at the same time for all her lines. As daughter of Thanatos, God of Death, it highlights her otherworldly qualities.

* The monster/demon/zombie/thing boss Chaos from the old Creator/LucasArts game ''VideoGame/{{Loom}}'' does this.

* In the ''Nintendo [=3DS=] Sound'' application that comes on every UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS, this can be achieved by applying any of three effects to a voice recording: "Low Harmony," "High Harmony," and "Synth Harmony."

* The Dormin in ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'' speak with a male and female voice. Even in [[SpeakingSimlish Simlish]], it's creepy.

* In ''VideoGame/UltimateCustomNight'', [[Characters/FiveNightsAtFreddys Mangle]] is given voiced lines, but in order to continue the RunningGag about [[AmbiguousGender their gender]], they speak in both a male and female voice at once. This has the benefit of adding an even creepier effect to the near MachineMonotone the animatronics as a whole have. (The female voice is more prominent, though.)

* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', Xykon's creepy speech is represented with black SpeechBubbles. In his case, we actually have in-comic (well, in-prequel-book) confirmation that he speaks with the Voice of the Legion [[note]]and [[CelebrityResemblance kind of like]] Creator/JamesEarlJones[[/note]]:

* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', Xykon's creepy speech is represented with black SpeechBubbles. In his case, we actually have in-comic (well, in-prequel-book) confirmation that he speaks with the Voice of the Legion:

* The [[ShadowArchetype Shadow Selves]] of ''VideoGame/Persona4'' onwards have this. Combined with their [[SupernaturalGoldEyes glowing yellow eyes]] and the fact that they deal out {{Breaking Speech}}es like candy on Halloween, the overall effect is fairly terrifying. Special mention goes to [[spoiler:Shadow Teddie]] whose voice actor included EvilSoundsDeep and CreepyMonotone for good measure.
** [[spoiler: Nyx Avatar]] from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} '' has it too. It sounds pretty cool, which is a [[SequentialBoss very]] [[MarathonBoss good]] [[ThatOneBoss thing]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' This trope is masterfully used in the episode "Grief", where two characters, Jackal (a villain) and the Emir (a hero), fuse with [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Anubis, the guardian of the dead (and patron of the embalmers, incidentally)]], one after the other. Both fusions use Anubis' and the other characters' voice on top of each other, but in the case of the villain-Anubis, they are out of sync, creating a very disturbingly chaotic and insane impression, while when the hero does the fusion, his and Anubis' voices are one, in harmony. This is backed up by the {{Aesop}} of the episode: The Emir learns after assuming Anubis' power to accept his son's death, thus reaching harmony with death itself, while Jackal just wanted the power to kill everyone.

* During the 90s the ''ComicBook/XMen'' villain [[Characters/XMenAcolytes Exodus]]'s speech bubbles were unique, somewhat like Deadpool's, except instead of being yellow they were purple-bordered. The effect they're going for was implied to be that he's always speaking verbally ''and'' telepathically simultaneously (see UnskilledButStrong above). Like many interesting 90s character tics, this was quietly dropped/forgotten about, as his post-90s speech balloons have been of ordinary color and border. Although in this case, he might have simply developed greater control over his powers offscreen.

* The ''ComicBook/XMen'' villain [[Characters/XMenAcolytes Exodus]] had this going on for his early appearances in the '90s, having speech balloons that were always purple-bordered, and also yellow-colored when using his powers. Like many interesting character tics from that period, it was either dropped or forgotten about as his post-90s speech balloons have been of ordinary color and border.
