History Main / VoicesAreNotMental

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/HotWheelsBatteForce5'' sees Sherman Cortez switch bodies with Grimian following a freak portal accident. In this case, the voices stayed with their respective bodies, with the voice actors instead having their characters speak and behave like each other's. This also proves effective with the plot, as none of the other characters realize anything is going on for the majority of the episode until "Sherman" and "Grimian" start doing and saying things considered uncharacteristic of them.

* Used in an episode of ''Westernanimation/TwoStupidDogs'': the dogs switch minds, but they still have the same voices. It's their mannerisms and the way they talked that switched.

-->'''Luthor (in Flash's body):''' If nothing else, I can at least learn the Flash's secret identity. (''removes mask, looks in mirror. {{Beat}}'') I have no idea who this is.

'''Dr. Polaris:''' Aren't you going to wash your hands?\\
'''Flash (in Luthor's body):''' No, because ''I'm evil.''

* In the anime adaptation of ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureVentoAureo'', used when [[spoiler:Chariot Requiem is created and swaps the bodies of the gang, the respective voice actors for the characters are kept for their bodies but their mannerisms and delivery change to represent the spirit now inhabiting the body .]]

Contrast VoicesAreMental for when voices stay with the original mind. Aversions and inversions go there.

* Used in the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' episode "The Criss Cross Conspiracy" when Batwoman (Katrina Moldoff) switched bodies with Batman to take revenge on the Riddler, who had previously unmasked and disgraced her. The voices stay with the bodies, and hearing Diedrich Bader voice Katrina is pretty entertaining (from calling Nightwing 'Darling' to ranting about how much he hates the Riddler), though the writers might have gone a bit overboard in reminding us that we were watching a woman in Batman's body, right down to a [[DoesThisMakeMeLookFat Does This Make Me Look Fat?]] moment.

* Used in the "The Meteor" episode of ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom''. Sonic and Eggman's bodies retain their voices after the GreenRocks swap them around.

* Used in ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom''. Whether it's Sonic and Eggman switching bodies, or Morpho shapeshifting into other characters, the voice of a character always matches the body they are using.

* Occurs in ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan'' when Mahiro and Nyarko suffer a FreakyFridayFlip.

* In an episode of ''Series/{{Warehouse 13}}'', Pete and Myka switched bodies (thanks to an [[MonsterOfTheWeek artifact]]), but their voicesremained the same. To emphasize the switch, the actors (rather impressively) mimicked the other character's mannerisms.

* In ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' when Oscar Pine (Aaron Dismuke) switches control of his body over to Ozpin (Shannon [=McCormick=]), he remains voiced by Dismuke, just switching up his performance to match [=McCormick=]'s cadences. Since [[spoiler:Ozpin's death]], [=McCormick=]'s voice has only been heard inside Oscar's head, but Dismuke-as-Ozpin sounds so close to [=McCormick=]-as-Ozpin that it's very easy to see why other characters fully believe they're speaking to Ozpin.

* In response to the ninth ''Pokémon'' movie, this trope is used in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' with Manaphy's Heart Swap attack when it comes out of a Poke Ball. Making Zelda sound like Donkey Kong and vice versa would be a little weird, in retrospect.

** Between those two it was sort of used when Wolf was possessed by the Viking Hakon, his ancestor. Both characters are voiced by Creator/ClancyBrown, and the ep was written to highlight his ability to [[TalkingToHimself talk to himself]] in the voice of either character, making possessed Wolf sound subtlely different from Wolf.

* In ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' when Oscar Pine switches control of his body over to [[spoiler:Ozpin]], he's still voiced by Aaron Dismuke.

-->'''Luthor (In Flash's Body):''' If nothing else, I can at least learn the Flash's secret identity. (''removes mask, looks in mirror. {{Beat}}'') I have no idea who this is.

--->''["Lex" tries to leave the men's room]''\\

'''Lex:''' No, because ''I'm evil.''

* Used in an episode of ''Series/TheAvengers'' when two enemy agents switch bodies with Steed and Mrs. Peel. Sort of unavoidable, since the bad guys were supposed to be infiltrating British intelligence.

* During ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'''s FreakyFridayFlip episode, Kero and Syaoran's voices remain the same, but their speech patterns and mannerisms are noticeably swapped which has not gone noticed by both Meiling and Tomoyo.

* In ''VideoGame/DiabloIII'', when [[spoiler:Diablo is reborn in Leah's body]] at the end of Act III, [[spoiler:Leah]] retains [[spoiler:her]] voice, but it gains a [[ContraltoOfDanger quite menacing contralto]] to signify that [[spoiler:Diablo]] is in control.

-->'''Luthor (In Flash's Body):''' If nothing else, I can at least learn the Flash's secret identity. (''removes mask, {{Beat}}'') I have no idea who this is.

* In ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia'', Akko finds herself turned into a duplicate of Diana, complete with Diana's voice.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' episode "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E10TheNewLars The New Lars]]," [[AllLovingHero Steven]] accidentally astral projects into [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Lars]]' body and controls it for a day. Lars' voice actor, Matthew Moy, combines Lars' usually-sardonic tone with Steven's [[CheerfulChild goofy, upbeat]] delivery. The premise for the episode may have been inspired by when Moy auditioned for Steven in addition to Lars.

* Used in ''Manga/YamadaKunAndTheSevenWitches'' whenever the characters switch bodies with each other (which is often), though their inner thoughts are still in their normal voice.

* Used in ''Manga/YamadaKunAndTheSevenWitches'' whenever the characters switch bodies with each other (which is often).

* In ''GO-GO Anime/{{Tamagotchi}}!'' episode 35, Himespetchi and Neenetchi experience a FreakyFridayFlip when they collide into each other, but their voices do not swap to match, unlike in episode 7a of the original installment which goes [[VoicesAreMental the opposite direction]].
