Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* ''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 AnAesop 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.

* Venom of ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' fame. The [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries 90s]] and ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderManUnlimited Unlimited]]'' version is your standard voice-with-effect-added, which doesn't suck, but the ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan Spectacular]]'' version '''really''' sounds like two entities talking at once, with the voices not in sync or always at the same speed. (Namely, Eddie's voice, and the voice the symbiote used when speaking to Spidey in the JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind episode.) It is awesome. For some reason, Spidey wearing the black suit never has the voice. One possibility is that Peter hasn't fully embraced the symbiote, while Eddie has -- Spider-Carnage of the 90s cartoon finale had the AxCrazy nature of Carnage and the voice to go with it.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'': Nicole is super pissed that there's a party going on without her permission. She kicks the door in and tells everyone to clean up and get out. Someone makes the mistake of taunting her, which ends up being [[DoNotTauntCthulhu a really bad idea]]. This happens to her again in "The Limit" when she goes on a monstrous rampage after her husband encourages her children to shoplift.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'': Whenever Scratch possesses someone, he speaks with his own voice layered over that of who is being possessed. The same presumably happens for any other ghosts.

to:

* ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'': ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'':
** Scratch gets a deep reverb added to his voice when he gets furious or when bestowing a curse.

Moving to its own page, added a Final Space example.

Added DiffLines:

----
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'':
** Bufo. Justified, because he's actually a group of poliwogs, and it's hard to understand them if they talk out of sync.
--->"Dang it, Leonard! If we don't all talk at the same time, no one can understand us!"
** Princess Monster Wife, [[TwoBeingsOneBody a mishmash of body parts]] the Ice King stole from various princess to make his own princess. Because her misshapen head is made from the face parts of Princess Bubblegum, Lumpy Space Princess, and Turtle Princess, she speaks in all of their voices.
** Maja the Sky Witch has a reverberating demonic overlay on her regular voice.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'': Nicole is super pissed that there's a party going on without her permission. She kicks the door in and tells everyone to clean up and get out. Someone makes the mistake of taunting her, which ends up being [[DoNotTauntCthulhu a really bad idea]]. This happens to her again in "The Limit" when she goes on a monstrous rampage after her husband encourages her children to shoplift.
-->''"You need to'' '''''run... NOW."'''''
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'':
** Anne has this sort of voice whenever she's in her SuperMode.
** When Marcy was possessed by [[MindHive the Core]], she gains an undertone of deep male and female voices blended with her own voice when speaking. This could be justified that the Core is made up of the minds of Amphibia's most smartest and powerful rulers, one of them being Andrias' father Aldrich.
* ''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 [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry 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.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'': In "Emperor Stark", Jarvis is uploaded into Vision and they spend most of the episode speaking like this, though they could both still speak independently.
%%* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10GeneratorRexHeroesUnited'': Alpha-Omega speaks this way.
* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'':
** Gwen in her Anodite form speaks like this (but not in ''Omniverse'').
** Kevin 11 sounds like this, after his constant changing between the alien forms he absorbed from the Omnitrix, leaves him in a misshapen amalgam of all of them. Some NightmareRetardant stands for one gem, though, where you hear that voice call Ben Tennyson a chicken, clucking and all.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Centaurworld}}'': When the taurnado sings, its part is a chorus of voices singing together to represent its assimilated souls. When she's pulled into the taurnado, Glensdale's voice harmonizes into the chorus.
* ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'', people possessed by XANA's specters and Polymorphic Clones talk like this, at least once they're unmasked (along with [[HulkSpeak serious reduction of vocabulary]]). Also happens to the mind-controlled heroes on Lyoko, most notably William who spends the whole Season 4 like this.
* In ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', the Delightful Children From Down the Lane are a voice of a legion. Seriously, five kids acting like just one kid?
* ''WesternAnimation/TheCupheadShow'': In "[[Recap/TheCupheadShowS1E8SweaterOffDead Sweater Off Dead]]", the goat in Cuphead's nightmare speaks in an odd tone moments before transforming into the Devil himself.
* Desiree from ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''. Quite spooky. All ghosts have a reverb effect to their voice, (including Danny in ghost mode) however with most it's much more subtle.
* Tiamat in the ''WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons1983'' cartoon, as she has five different dragon heads.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''
** In "Petergeist", when Stewie is sucked through the television in a parody of "Film/{{Poltergeist|1982}}", he speaks to the family in a wavy, disjointed semi-multi-voice from the other side. He takes this opportunity to sing a section from "In The Air Tonight" by Music/PhilCollins.
** Partial example: In a CutawayGag, Brian dresses in a barbershop quartet outfit and sings 'Moonlight Bay' for the Griffin family, singing in full four-part harmony with himself.
* ''WesternAnimation/FinalSpace'': The [[Characters/FinalSpaceTheLordCommandersForces Lord Commander]]'s voice distorts with a reverb when he's angry or excited.
* Zoidberg demonstrated this ability in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' as he sang a parody of the Monster Mash. Amy lampshaded it, apparently creeped out that he was able to harmonize with himself.
* ''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 AnAesop 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.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'': Whenever Scratch possesses someone, he speaks with his own voice layered over that of who is being possessed. The same presumably happens for any other ghosts.
* On ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH_h-9VMcco Bill Cipher knows LOTS OF THINGS...]]
** In general he tends to casually slip into this during conversation ([[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry or when he's mad]]), [[EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor usually to mess with the person he is talking to]], and to remind us that he is supposedly a [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demon]]. His normal speaking voice has a slight demonic-reverb effect as well.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', whenever Junior [[ShapeShifting takes the form of another person]], he speaks with his original voice overlaid with theirs.
* In the UK dub of ''WesternAnimation/{{Insektors}}'', Queen Catheter speaks like this.
* In ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'', Shendu, his son Drago and the other Demon Sorcerers all have eerie effects added to their voices, indicating their ancient, mystical evil.
* When Luthor and Braniac merge into one being in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', so do their voices. Sometimes one or the other is slightly dominant, based on the subject of conversation: Luthor tends to do the egotistical boasting, while Brainiac is only interested in the task at hand.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'': The Captain of the Guard (generally regarded as the fiercest animal in the Pride Lands) is endowed with a unique ability called the Roar of the Elders, so named because, when they roar, the spirits of previous Lion Guard members (presumably) and the Great Kings of the Past roar with them.
* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'': MonsterOfTheWeek Oblivio speaks with both a male voice and a female voice at the same time, [[spoiler:because they are in fact two people (Nino and Alya) who were akumatized together into one body]].
* Some characters in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' gain such voices temporarily if they're pushed to the limit out of frustration or anger.
** Princess Luna just has NoIndoorVoice (she's running on extremely outdated etiquette where shouting at your subjects is proper), but when she gets angry she moves into this category. Said outdated etiquette also causes her to use the RoyalWe when referring to herself.
--->'''''"BE STILL!"'''''
** Pinkie Pie, when she thinks a pinkie promise is broken.
---> [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpTCAMGRHRU ''YOU PINKIE-PROMISED!"]]
** Queen Chrysalis spoke with this in her [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 first appearance]]. Initially, it was implied to be her "default" voice, however this was later [[{{Retcon}} retconned]] in all subsequent appearances, where her voice lacks this effect.
** This happens to Fluttershy, of all ponies, when the animals in the royal garden refuse to let her dote them.
---> [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwp60eYuie0 ''You're going to LOVE ME!!!"]]
** The Kirins introduced in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E23SoundsOfSilence "Sounds of Silence"]] have these when they turn into their SuperpoweredEvilSide known as Niriks, as demonstrated by Autumn Blaze when she rushes to save Applejack and Fluttershy.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'':
** Eda has this voice whenever she turns into her harpy form.
** In "Thanks to Them", [[spoiler:when Belos possesses and takes full control over Hunter's body, his voice sounds like his and Hunter's layered on top of eachother]].
* [[TheDevil Him]], from ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', is an example of this trope ''with a falsetto''. And it is ''damned creepy.''
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'':
** "[[NightmareFuel/TheRenAndStimpyShow And with these hands, I hold the fate of MILLIONS."]]
*** "MY HOT... '''STINGING'''... '''''BRAAAAAAAAAAAIIIINNN!!!!'''''"
** "Be there, scour the spaceways, explore vast ALIEN WORLDS!
** "How DARE you serve me haggis [[FelonyMisdemeanor without CHUTNEY]]!!!"
*** "Now you've gone and done it! YOU OVERCOOKED ME EGGS!"
** "'''''WHAT'S SHAKIN', SPARKY?!?!'''''"
* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'': In "The Portal", [[spoiler: Catra]]'s voice gains a robotic reverb after [[spoiler: being partially erased from existence]].
-->'''''[[CatchPhrase "Hey, Adora."]]'''''
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Homer Alone", a stressed-out Marge yells "GetOut!" at Bart and Lisa in this tone when they fight in the car.
* Venom of ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' fame. The [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries 90s]] and ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderManUnlimited Unlimited]]'' version is your standard voice-with-effect-added, which doesn't suck, but the ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan Spectacular]]'' version '''really''' sounds like two entities talking at once, with the voices not in sync or always at the same speed. (Namely, Eddie's voice, and the voice the symbiote used when speaking to Spidey in the JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind episode.) It is awesome. For some reason, Spidey wearing the black suit never has the voice. One possibility is that Peter hasn't fully embraced the symbiote, while Eddie has -- Spider-Carnage of the 90s cartoon finale had the AxCrazy nature of Carnage and the voice to go with it.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'': [[LadyOfBlackMagic Mother Talzin]] of the Nightsisters' words echo in a voice far deeper than her own.
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
** Usually, a {{fusion| Dance}} will have a unique voice, depending on their stability. This trope occurs when the fusion is breaking apart or their components are disagreeing, such as the case of Alexandrite, or the fusion is forced and unstable in the first place, seen in [[spoiler:Malachite]].
** [[spoiler: The Cluster, a huge entity made of millions of gem shards]] has a voice that sounds like millions of people, and is rather... unsettling, though how much it actually talks beyond "Noooo..." and "Want to" is up for contention.
* Master Cyclonis of ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'' occasionally had ''just enough'' of a creepy reverberation in her voice to drive the point home that there's something ''very'' wrong with her.
* Used by two different characters in ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'': the first was The Ultimate Drako -- [[TwoBeingsOneBody two villains, The Ultimate Ninja and Drako, in one body]] -- who used in whenever it said something both characters felt. The second was the Ring of Ying-possessed April O'Neil in the episode "The Engagement Ring".
* 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". 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.
* Baron Violent in ''WesternAnimation/TheTick'' cartoon, when he's wearing his power belt. When Arthur starts using the belt, he starts speaking like this.
* Mal from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama All Stars'', when not pretending to be Mike, speaks with an occasional reverb.
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
** ''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''. 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.
** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'': [[spoiler: Soundwave's]] single line of dialogue in the episode "[[Recap/TransformersPrimeS3E10MinusOne Minus One]]" (and, in all likelihood, the entire series) comes out this way, thanks to heavy digital distortion.
--->[[spoiler:Soundwave superior, Autobots inferior.]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/TRONUprising'' Cyrus has a subtle version of this, made even creepier by the fact that he ([[Main/NotSoStoic normally]]) speaks very quietly and calmly.
* This is [[SuccubiAndIncubi Callie's]] version of shouting in ''WesternAnimation/UglyAmericans''.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'', Monstro speaks like this, as does [[spoiler: Henchman 24's ghost]].
* Happens in the ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'' episode "Coffee Cave" when Ice Bear gets [[MustHaveCaffeine addicted to coffee]] to the point of going on a murderous rampage.
-->"Ice Bear needs more '''coffee.'''"
* Phobos talks like this in the first season finale of ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'' after getting a power-up by stealing some of Elyon's magic. Later on, Cornelia briefly has this kind of voice when wielding the powers of all five Guardians, as does anyone who uses the Seal of Nerissa (once it has absorbed all of the past Guardians and gifted the wielder with all of the elements) [[spoiler: and Cedric, after eating Phobos and absorbing both his powers ''and'' those of the Seal]].
* ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'': Gigi, the plant that rised from the Heylin Seed, normally speaks with a French accent. After it gets angry, it speaks with a deep, echoing voice, complete with NightmareFace.
* In ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'' we have a (mostly) heroic example. Dr. Fate (Nabu) speaks with his very deep voice overlying the voice of his host.
