| 17 | Some characters can [[MusicSoothesTheSavageBeast soothe raging people and beasts with nothing more than a lullaby]]. They can [[FriendToAllLivingThings enchant the birds of the forest with but a chant]], and spark a [[LoveInterests love interest's]] [[LoveAtFirstNote affections just by singing a verse or two]]. If any of these are the case, the character just may be in possession of a Beautiful Singing Voice. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin As you might expect]], the Beautiful Singing Voice trope describes any instance where a character is acknowledged ''in-universe'' as having a great singing voice, either directly or indirectly. The character may draw praise from fellow characters over their lovely voice, or they may succeed at some task that requires beautiful singing. In some cases, the {{Narrator}} may outright ''tell'' you the character has a talent for song, [[InformedAbility whether or not it's ever shown in the story itself]]. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | This trope is commonly associated with TheIngenue and The PrincessClassic, as many stories (especially those leaning towards the fantastic) use a Beautiful Singing Voice as an indicator that a character is kind, pure of heart, or a FriendToAllLivingThings. In those cases, there is likely overlap with InnocentSoprano. Yet this is just expanding BeautyEqualsGoodness to include the character's voice rather than only their physical appearance. A melodious voice does not guarantee goodness by any stretch; many other stories have characters and/or creatures that have beautiful voices and yet are dangerous or downright evil -- a perennial example being the Sirens of Greek and Roman myth. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Another common (though not essential) use of this trope is having it be a character's [[HiddenDepths hidden talent]], having it come from an unlikely source, or pairing it with severe PerformanceAnxiety so that it's rarely used. This is largely a matter of increasing the trope's impact; there's nothing particularly special or unexpected about a world-famous vocalist having an incredible singing voice, but it's quite a surprise when the local ShrinkingViolet, {{Badass}}, or HomelessPigeonPerson can croon a tune with the finest. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Often a source of LoveAtFirstNote. ''Can'' be a source of ArousedByTheirVoice in rare instances, but the focus here is on aesthetic quality rather than sex appeal. See also NonSingingVoice and SingingVoiceDissonance for issues that come up while trying to use this trope in film. Contrast HollywoodToneDeaf, CuteButCacophonic, and DreadfulMusician. Not to be confused with the GiftOfSong, when a song is literally given as a present. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Administrivia/InUniverseExamplesOnly -- this is not the page to voice your personal opinions about singing voices, whether they belong to fictional characters or real people. There ''must'' be some in-universe indication that the character has a Beautiful Singing Voice, as casting directors tend to cast trained vocalists in singing roles even if the character's in-story vocals aren't intended to be anything special -- an auditory version of the HollywoodBeautyStandards effect. |

| 34 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 35 | * ''Manga/SevenSeeds'': Mari during the Ryugu Shelter arc is an idol singer and her singing gets repeatedly mentioned to be one of the things that has kept the inhabitants of the shelter relatively calm and sane. No matter how bad things looked [[spoiler:with one food storage flooding, and a terrible disease spreading]], her voice was something that kept giving people hope. [[spoiler:Given that it turned out that ''she'' was [[TyphoidMary the carrier of the disease]] and the reason it spread so horrendously fast, she curses her voice. And then intentionally makes use of her enchanting voice to collect all the diseased inhabitants and get locked in a freezer to keep the disease from spreading again.]] |
| 36 | * ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'': [[HugeSchoolgirl Sakaki]] surprises Yomi and the others when a karaoke session reveals she can sing ([[TheAce in addition to her other talents]]). Each of the girls remark on her singing voice, causing Sakaki to [[ShrinkingViolet smile shyly and blush.]] |
| 37 | * Suzu from ''Anime/Belle2021'' has a beautiful singing voice, but she's unable to sing at the start of the film since doing so reminds her of her mother's death. She realizes that she's able to sing in U as her online avatar Belle, and while she's initially criticized by the other users for her unusual rhythm and her freckles, her singing quickly becomes a hit in the online world. |
| 38 | * In ''Manga/BlackClover'', Kahono is noted to have one by Noelle and dreams of becoming an idol singer. Fittingly, she uses Song Magic and according to the Volume 14 Questions Brigade she has the best singing voice among the characters. |
| 39 | * In ''Manga/ABridesStory'', Amir and Karluk enjoy singing together. Amir does praise his current singing voice, but whether or not that will still hold true after he goes through puberty is another matter. |
| 40 | * ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'': Tomoyo is a member of the school choir and it's repeatedly noted, mostly by Sakura, how lovely her singing is. So lovely in fact that two separate Clow Cards (Song and Voice) take an interest in it. |
| 41 | * Teruhashi Kokomi in ''Manga/TheDisastrousLifeOfSaikiK'', who has the ability to move her classmates to tears while singing karaoke, of all things. They then go on to tell her she should be a singer. |
| 42 | * Mafuyu from ''Manga/{{Given}}'' is noted to have a beautiful singing voice, even though he initially has no formal musical training. Ritsuka is immediately struck by Mafuyu's voice when hearing him sing for the first time, and insists that he be the lead singer for the band. |
| 43 | * Kanon from ''Anime/LoveLiveSuperstar'' has an excellent singing voice, which is often noted by other characters. Keke even calls her "subarashii koe no hito", or "amazing voice person", before learning her name. |
| 44 | * Mirajane from ''Manga/FairyTail'', who gives performances at the guild and usually multiple encores. |
| 45 | * In ''Anime/MacrossDelta'', every member of Walkure is known for this because of their work as a tactical sound unit essential for keeping the Var at bay. But its lead singer, Mikumo, particularly stands out for her especially powerful, deep, and lovely voice, to the point that everyone is surprised when Freyja is able to match Mikumo's intensity. [[spoiler:Mikumo's singing prowess is later revealed to be derived from her true nature as a clone of the Star Singer, an immensely powerful being whose voice could resonate throughout the entire galaxy.]] |
| 46 | * ''Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun'' plays this for laughs. The choir club's mysterious "Lorelei", nicknamed for a mythical German siren, is a hauntingly good singer. However, people's romantic idealizations about who she is are instantly crushed when they find out that her real identity is the abrasive jerk Seo. |
| 47 | * In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', Class 1-A is assigned to put on a show for the school's culture festival. When deciding who would be singing, the class is immediately blown away by Jiro's husky and powerful voice, planting her in the role of lead singer while everyone else would be doing stunts, instrumentals, and backup. |
| 48 | * Karyoubinga is considered one of the most beautiful singers in the world in Creator/{{CLAMP}}'s manga ''Manga/RGVeda''. She's also a DelicateAndSickly girl [[spoiler:who meets her end via KillTheCutie early on in the plot]] after she's kidnapped by Taishakuten and forced to sing even though the air harms her lungs the more she does so. |
| 49 | * Kato, one of ThoseTwoGuys from ''Manga/TanakaKunIsAlwaysListless'' is revealed to be really good at singing, enough that the typically lazy Tanaka deigned to give him a ''standing'' ovation. His voice apparently resounds in his listeners' hearts, even though he only sings Anime tunes. |
| 50 | * Eiko from ''Manga/YaBoyKongming'' enraptures the newly-reincarnated Kongming with her voice, to the point that he mistakes her as a "songstress of Hell" at first, and she later moves him to tears during his HeroicBSOD. After becoming more acquainted with her, Kongming decides to help her become a professional singer and achieve her goal of healing others with music. Later on, Kabe is similarly affected by her singing and can't stop himself from crying. |
| 51 | * Junko from ''Anime/ZombieLandSaga'' is noted in-universe for being an extremely skilled singer, which contributed to her status as a pioneer in the idol industry during the Showa Era. In episode 3 of ''Revenge'', Ai and Sakura both find themselves enamored by her singing at different points. |
| 52 | [[/folder]] |
| 53 | |
| 54 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 55 | * ''ComicBook/XMen:'' Jay (or sometimes Joshua) Guthrie, younger brother of the New Mutant Cannonball, has an extraordinary singing voice, heavily implied to be his actual Mutant power. Then Chuck Austen came along and gave him wings. Still has the singing powers, though. |
| 56 | [[/folder]] |
| 57 | |
| 58 | [[folder:Fairy Tales]] |
| 59 | * In the original fairytale, ''Literature/{{Rapunzel}}'' is noted as having a beautiful singing voice that attracts the prince who would quickly become her rescuer. While Rapunzel can still sing during her portrayal in ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'', the context is different. Her singing doesn't attract her rescuer, but it ''does'' [[MagicMusic cause her hair to glow]], which enables her and Eugene to get out of a tight spot. |
| 60 | * In some versions of the original fairy tale ''Literature/SleepingBeauty'' -- most notably the Charles Perrault version -- the princess is given the gift of song by good fairies. This is one of the few details from the Perrault version that made it into the now-ubiquitous [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Disney version of the story]]. |
| 61 | * ''Thumbelina'', in both [[Literature/{{Thumbelina}} the original Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale]] and [[WesternAnimation/Thumbelina1994 its 1994 animated adaptation]], is noted as having a gorgeous singing voice that attracts people to her before they even see her. |
| 62 | [[/folder]] |
| 63 | |
| 64 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 65 | * In the ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' fanfic ''Fanfic/TheGamesOfTheGods'', Rachel is a self-aware ParodySue that doesn't actually want to be one. Among her ridiculous number of talents is, of course, a stunning singing voice. |
| 66 | * In ''Fanfic/TheHeartTrilogy'', [[{{Seers}} Kathryn]] is noted for having a stirringly lovely voice. The first thing that draws [[VillainProtagonist Smaug]] to her is her singing, and he captures her so she can sing for him. It's one of the few things that can calm and soothe him; he even believes her voice surpasses elven singers. She's also roped into singing for the royal court of Dorwinion. |
| 67 | * In ''Fanfic/BequeathedFromPaleEstates'', Lyarra Martell née Snow can reduce the most difficult audience to tears with her singing. [[spoiler:It also lets Targaryen loyalist Monford Velaryon to identify her as Prince Rhaegar's surviving daughter, as she inherited her very distinctive vocal prowess from him.]] |
| 68 | * In the ''VideoGame/StardewValley'' GameMod, ''VideoGame/RidgesideVillage'', the potential LoveInterest, Alissa, is mentioned several times to have a beautiful singing voice, part of her character arc involves her getting enough confidence to perform. [[spoiler: It is heavily hinted that she is actually [[HalfHumanHybrid half-mermaid]] which would explain it.]] |
| 69 | * In ''Fanfic/OnceUponAStudioVersionTwoPointOh'', a hypothetical extended cut of [[Creator/{{Disney}} Disney's]] [[WesternAnimation/OnceUponAStudio centenary short]], several voice acting legends whose characters weren't granted solo or group lines during the rousing rendition of [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} "When You Wish Upon a Star"]] are granted the opportunity to do so this time round: |
| 70 | ** Creator/JenniferHale in this version gets the opportunity to sing the opening lines solo as Cinderella, before handing over to Belle and the Beast, which is very fitting since her singing voice is almost as beautiful as that of Creator/IleneWoods (if not equally so), as shown in ''[[Recap/SofiaTheFirstOnceUponAPrincess Sofia The First: Once Upon a Princess]]''. |
| 71 | ** Hale and [[Creator/ChristopherDanielBarnes Chris Daniel Barnes]] also get to sing a lovely duet during the song, including, near the end, the first line of "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes". |
| 72 | ** Music/MandyMoore and Creator/ZacharyLevi's singing voices as Rapunzel and Eugene also make a triumphant return in this version, as they are able to first join Ariel, Eric, Aladdin and Jasmine in starting up the final verse of "When You Wish Upon a Star", and later sing a brilliant duet of "I See The Light". |
| 73 | ** Creator/TemueraMorrison also gets to do his own singing as Chief Tui, Moana's father. |
| 74 | ** Creator/LeaSalonga also gets to reprise her role as Jasmine's singing voice (instead of WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'s), which was her first major role in any Disney production. |
| 75 | * ''Fanfic/TheSimpsonsTeamLASH'': Anastasia is shown on numerous occasions to be an amazing singer, with a particular affinity for {{opera}}. In fact, she's ''so'' good at singing that her music teacher, Mr. Largo, doesn't really know what to do with her, [[TooQualifiedToApply since she's leaps and bounds ahead of her classmates in terms of musical ability]]. |
| 76 | * ''Fanfic/SpellboundLilafly'': Fae love music and are supernaturally good singers. Marinette loves listening to Adrien sing, but he unfortunately has to be careful about doing it, because he's likely to accidentally [[CharmPerson charm]] people. |
| 77 | * In ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'', Ebony is supposedly an excellent emo singer. |
| 78 | * Similarly to Ebony Darkness Dementia Raven way, Atlantiana Rebekah Loren of ''Fanfic/ForbidenFruitTheTempationOfEdwardCullen'' sings karaoke stunningly well. |
| 79 | [[/folder]] |
| 80 | |
| 81 | [[folder:Films -- Animation]] |
| 82 | * Tanya Mousekewitz from ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTailFievelGoesWest'' launches into her theme song while doing chores. Her voice is so captivating that Cat R. Waul gets just one earful, and drops [[TheHero Fievel]], who he was about to devour whole. Homing in on Tanya's voice, Waul cradles her in his hands, and immediately makes her part of his saloon's stage act, describing Tanya as "a diva." She has a similar effect on Waul's clientele. |
| 83 | * This is the main skill of the eponymous ''WesternAnimation/ArloTheAlligatorBoy''. He loves singing, usually randomly breaking into a song number out of nowhere, or [[VerbalTic tends to lapse into song mid-sentence]], to show how he feels about something. [[GentleGiant Bertie]] is captivated by it, while it often [[MusicalNumberAnnoyance annoys]] [[DeadpanSnarker Marcellus]]; it is even lampshaded a few times. What's helpful about it is Arlo is voiced by Michael J. Woodard, a former contestant on ''Series/AmericanIdol''. |
| 84 | * The ''Franchise/DisneyPrincess'' franchise has its share of examples: |
| 85 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' has the iconic scene where her singing attracts the birds and friendly woodland creatures and drives home the point that she's a PrincessClassic who's a FriendToAllLivingThings, if that hadn't already been made abundantly clear earlier. |
| 86 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' is shown to have a lovely voice as all her bird and mouse friends will sit in silence just to hear her sing. One scene has Drizella's grating warbling during a music lesson transition to Cindy singing the same song much better at the same time while she's cleaning the foyer. |
| 87 | *** Even in ''Recap/SofiaTheFirstOnceUponAPrincess'', [[Creator/JenniferHale Jennifer Hale's]] singing voice as Cinderella is almost as beautiful as that of Creator/IleneWoods (if not equally so). |
| 88 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'' has similar scenes where Princess Aurora sings to (and dances with) WoodlandCreatures, and her voice is ultimately what draws Prince Phillip to her, but her Beautiful Singing Voice is Enforced as the "gift of song" was one of the three gifts given to her by her Fairy Godmothers at birth. |
| 89 | ** Ariel in ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}'' has this as a central plot point. Her singing voice is the one thing Ursula takes away from her before turning her into a human. Later, her voice is the one thing that makes Prince Eric remember her as the girl who saved his life when he shipwrecked at sea. |
| 90 | * While ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective'' and Doctor Dawson visit the seedy seamen's pub, the rowdy patrons fall silent when the chanteuse Kitty Mouse takes the stage and begins "Let Me Be Good To You". They regain their raucous fervor after Kitty's tone-shift turns her act into a striptease. |
| 91 | * ''Animation/{{The Little Mermaid|1968}}'' (1968): The Mermaid's voice is so beautiful that the Sea Witch demands it as price for the Mermaid to become human. |
| 92 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Sing}}'' revolves around a struggling theater manager, who tries to drum up an audience via a talent competition. There are, of course, some duds, and some tolerably good prospects, but also some genuinely engaging comers: Ash the rocking porcupine, Mike the crooner mouse, Johnny the tenor gorilla, Rosita the sonorous pig, and Meena the glorious elephant. This talent pool is so good that the audience doesn't seem to mind that the theater is a shambles. |
| 93 | * In a rather ''vicious'' parody of Disney Princess conventions, Princess Fiona from ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'' displays one in a duet with a random songbird...at least until her ability to hold a note causes the bird to ''explode.'' She then [[CrossesTheLineTwice takes its orphaned eggs and cooks them for breakfast.]] |
| 94 | * In ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', once the Ink And Paint Club has cleared the stage after the Daffy Duck versus Donald Duck piano duel, the place goes silent as Jessica Rabbit comes on, singing "Why Don't You Do Right". Except for a tiny exchange between Eddie Valiant and Betty Boop, nobody, neither human nor cartoon, makes a peep. Of course, the mostly male audience was EatingTheEyeCandy, yet this wet bar club is library quiet during Jessica's number. |
| 95 | * In ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance,'' Sawyer is known among her acting friends for her beautiful singing voice. However, due to the tough circumstances of her life, they note they haven't heard her sing in quite a while. |
| 96 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheWilloughbys'': Jane Willoughby is acknowledged in-universe as being musically gifted, but her awful parents find her singing annoying[[note]]Granted, they find her mere existence annoying[[/note]]. At the climax of the movie, [[spoiler: she sings to her brothers to comfort them after their parents leave them for dead on a snowy mountaintop. Her song is what ultimately leads to Nanny and Melanoff finding them, and Nanny calls her song "beautiful"]]. |
| 97 | * In the {{Novelization}} of ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Mei describes Robaire's voice as angelic when he starts singing in the climax. |
| 98 | [[/folder]] |
| 99 | |
| 100 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 101 | * ''Film/TheChorus'': Pierre Morhange. After Mathieu hears him singing by himself, he writes in his diary that his voice is a miracle and the rare promise of an exceptional gift. He appoints him to the choir, where he ends up becoming lead soloist. |
| 102 | * ''Film/ChooseLove'': Cami used to sing in a band and has the voice to prove it. When Rex hears her singing briefly, he's instantly charmed and asks her to harmonize with him on the album. |
| 103 | * In the animated/live-action hybrid film ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'', Giselle of the fairytale kingdom of Andalasia is an {{Affectionate|Parody}} SelfParody of the old-school Disney Princesses, so she sings to her friendly WoodlandCreatures and has Prince Edward fall in love with her just by hearing the sound of her voice. Even when she lands in New York her voice remains crystalline, as evidenced by the pests she is able to convince to work with her ("Happy Working Song") and the CrowdSong she is able to drum up ("How Does She Know"). |
| 104 | * In the film ''Film/CampRock'', the sound of Mitchie performing "This Is Me" attracts the interest of TeenIdol Shane Gray, and prompts him to conduct a camp-wide Cinderella-esque search to find out who the mysterious voice belongs to. |
| 105 | * ''Film/{{Godmothered}}'': Eleanor tells Jane that she has one. |
| 106 | * ''Film/TheLittleMermaid2023'': Ariel's voice is so beautiful it begins to slightly effect Eric's sanity, as he becomes obsessed with her SirenSong, that keeps playing in his head. |
| 107 | * ''Film/MakingWaves'': Joe is creepy and weird and says stuff like "We're going to the toilet" in an odd monotone when his mother tells him to use the restroom--Joe is in his forties. Yet he turns out to have a lovely singing voice, and he entertains everyone in the hotel bar at dinner. |
| 108 | * ''Film/Paris36'': Douce (Creator/NoraArnezeder) becomes highly sought after once her beautiful singing gets noticed. |
| 109 | * Played for drama in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''. Bane comments that a boy singing the national anthem before a football game has a lovely singing voice, but Bane is there to cause chaos and kill countless scores of people. It serves to undercut how Bane is a sociopath who doesn't care about how much damage he inflicts on ordinary people, nor about any sort of artistry, if he gets what he wants. |
| 110 | [[/folder]] |
| 111 | |
| 112 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 113 | * In the ''Literature/EarthsChildren'' series of novels, The One Who Is First To Serve The Great Earth Mother (she has no other name) is considered the First in part because of her beautiful singing voice, which helps her to communicate with the spirit world. |
| 114 | * Mihaya, of ''Literature/GirlsKingdom'' is described by multiple people as having a beautiful singing voice, like a bell. There are even rumors on campus that if you hear her sing your wish will come true. All Misaki knows is that when she hears Mihaya sing, she will drop everything and just listen. |
| 115 | * Johnny Fontaine, with the blessing of ''Literature/TheGodfather'' Vito Corleone, was chosen to sing at the wedding of Constanzia Corleone. Johnny is stated to have had a remarkable voice since childhood, which was furthered by Sister Immaculata. |
| 116 | * Katniss from ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' is an excellent singer, though she rarely uses this talent. |
| 117 | * Mavis from ''Literature/MaloryTowers'' plans to be an opera singer when she grows up and is noted to have a lovely voice. She's quite a show-off in the beginning, but after temporarily losing her voice, she settles down and becomes much nicer. |
| 118 | * In ''Literature/{{Maskerade}}'', Agnes Nitt has a wonderful singing voice. In fact, she's a VoiceChangeling who can have ''any'' wonderful singing voice (or otherwise - when asked to sing a piece the way [[HollywoodToneDeaf Christine]] would, she does precisely that), and whose only limit when singing scales is that when she reaches infra- and ultrasound it turns into a BrownNote. |
| 119 | * In ''Literature/MercyThompson'', Bran, the leader of the werewolves, is a literally legendary singer- he's [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld over a thousand years old]] and immortal beings mention how much of an honor it is to hear a performance by him. |
| 120 | * ''Literature/TheMermaidOfBlackConch'': Aycayia's name translates to Sweet Voice, and it's one of the reasons the other women in her village became so jealous of her that they prayed to the Goddess Jagua to [[ForcedTransformation turn her into a mermaid]]. In the present day, David and Arcadia both think she lives up to her name, and Arcadia compares her voice to honey. |
| 121 | * ''Literature/TheMermaidsDaughter'': Fand, also known as Literature/TheLittleMermaid, had this gift. She passed it on to at least two of her descendants: Caolinn, who sang in pubs in TheForties, and protagonist Kathleen, an acclaimed opera singer whose voice amazes everyone who hears it. |
| 122 | * Erik, aka the ''Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'', is stated that despite his hideous visage and disturbed mind, that alongside being a genius in pretty much every field of science and art, also possess the most beautiful voice of any person on the face of the Earth, likened to that of an angel. Likewise, Christine, TheIngenue he takes under his wing, is chosen specifically by him for her serenely ethereal natural if untrained singing voice. After he's finished training her, she sings so beautifully that it's almost supernatural and unworldy, making the operagoing public love her all the more. |
| 123 | * ''Literature/{{Nevermoor}}'': |
| 124 | ** Noelle, an AlphaBitch that the heroes must tangle with in the first book, is hoping to join [[TheOrder the Wundrous Society]], and her "[[TheGift knack]]" to show to the judges is a spectacularly beautiful singing voice. Morrigan and Hawthorne ''loathe'' Noelle for her attitude, but both are forced to concede that she is staggeringly talented when they actually hear her sing. [[spoiler:It's not enough to get Noelle into Wunsoc, but she does come ''very'' close--only the top nine candidates out of literally dozens and dozens get in, and Noelle ranked tenth. To put that in context, Noelle's singing voice is so beautiful that it ranks as an extraordinary talent ''just barely'' behind a boy who can train and ride dragons, a girl who can perform surgery at age eleven, and an actual ''psychic''.]] |
| 125 | ** Angels such as Israfel are all gifted with the most gorgeous singing voices known to man. In fact, they're ''so'' gorgeous that any mere mortal who hears them will experience the most wonderful sensation of their entire life... but that sensation goes away as soon as the singing stops, and ''literally nothing else'' will ever bring them that level of joy. Humans who hear angel voices [[FantasticDrug become addicted]], and are empty and listless until they can get their next "fix." When Jupiter takes Morrigan to meet Israfel at a theater where he performs for his addicts, he makes sure they both have their hearing blocked off before Israfel takes the stage. |
| 126 | * ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'': {{Justified|Trope}} with Carlos Whitrow. They are a fantastic singer whose voice performances are considered a highlight of attending meetings of the club they founded for students with gender- and sex-related magic. Their singing voice is [[MagicMusic literally magical]] and acts as a CounterSpell {{counterspell}} to SexMagic, by means of their having been castrated and enchanted as a child to serve as the part-succubus Ophelia Salvadori's minder. |
| 127 | * Irene Adler Norton is this, both in the ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' canon and in Carole Nelson Douglas' series of novels featuring her. She is an opera singer who had to retreat from public life for a time after her entanglement with the King of Bohemia, but she is actually depicted singing beautifully in both the Doyle story "A Scandal in Bohemia" and in Douglas' novels. Douglas' emphasis on Irene's atypical range seems to be a reflection of Irene's cheerful disregard for 1880s convention (working as a Pinkerton and as an inquiry agent for the Rothschilds, going without a corset in a Liberty dress, wearing men's clothing, smoking). |
| 128 | * ''Literature/TheShipWho'': Like all ManInTheMachine ships, Helva uses her diaphragm and throat while speaking but the actual sound is emitted by microphones, and she [[WetwareCPU does not technically breathe and cannot open her mouth]], which presents some problems when it comes to song. Nonetheless, after someone noticed the warm and vibrant quality of her humming she applied herself to finding a way to sing and developed ways to manipulate her diaphragm and vocal chords, and "expand the oral cavity well into the frontal sinuses", to good effect. Helva can sing any role in any song that she cares to try, including basso profundo, and [[VoiceChangeling can imitate voices]]. She becomes FamedInStory as "[[TitleDrop The Ship Who Sang]]". |
| 129 | * In ''Literature/SirenaSelena'', what sets the titular character from all other drag queens around is her singing voice. When she is singing at wealthy Hugo Graubel’s party, the combination of her singing and her glamorous presentation transfixes all in attendance. |
| 130 | * ''Literature/StarCrazyMe'' by Creator/JeanUre has a couple of examples: |
| 131 | ** Carmen's voice is so good that a former opera singer notices her busking and becomes her singing teacher, despite Carmen being rather rude to her. [[spoiler: The book ends with Carmen winning the rock music contest at her school]]. |
| 132 | ** Mrs. P, Carmen's self-proclaimed singing teacher. She recalls at one point when she was at school, two of the girls discussing who would get the part in a musical, but agreeing although she was the best singer, she was too ugly. However, she went ahead and got the role and became famous, even though she had no virtue but her voice. |
| 133 | * ''Literature/ThereIsNoEpicLootHereOnlyPuns'': Isanella is a bard so powerful, so connected to music, that merely introducing herself can send unprepared men to their knees. She makes sure to send people out of the room before she actually sings. |
| 134 | * Played with in the novel ''Literature/{{Trilby}}'', in which the titular character has a wonderful singing voice that launches her to stardom...but ''only'' when she's been hypnotized by the sinister [[TheSvengali Svengali]]. Free of Svengali's hypnotism, she's completely tone-deaf. |
| 135 | * Literature/TheSecretLivesOfPrincesses: Princess Fa-Sol-La spends her life at operas and concerts, and sings for private guests when those are closed. She sings instead of speaking. |
| 136 | * Played for laughs in the children's fantasy novel ''Literature/WhichWitch'': Belladonna has a beautiful singing voice, it comes with being a white witch - she even causes birds to sing more beautifully than before, by just walking by. |
| 137 | [[/folder]] |
| 138 | |

| 140 | * A musician in ''Seven Swordsmen'' (a Chinese {{Wuxia}} television series), is noted as having a voice so beautiful "it would melt the snow on Mount Heaven." Even the people who hate him and want him to die for an ill-timed GoodSamaritan moment want to hear him sing one last time before the execution. |
| 141 | * In ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', Giles is shown to have a very good singing voice, much to the astonishment of the Scooby gang when they see him singing Music/TheWho's "Behind Blue Eyes." He also sings in the seventh episode of season six which is the episode with Sweet the dancing Demon where everybody sings. |
| 142 | * ''Series/{{Cheers}}:'' Despite it being a minor thing that her singing's not great, Lilith is played by a Broadway actress, and does occasionally get to show it off. Her singing a lullaby to her baby brings the bar to tears, and when she seizes a karaoke machine to stop Frasier over-using it, everyone boos Sam for cutting her off midway through a performance of "You're Just in Love". |
| 143 | * In ''Series/EmilyInParis'', Mindy sings "La Vie en Rose" in a park for Emily. Unbeknownst to her, her powerhouse vocals attract a big crowd that applaud her by the end of the song. |
| 144 | * Chuck [=McGill=] in ''Series/BetterCallSaul''. At a karaoke night to celebrate Jimmy's [=McGill=]'s admission to the Bar, Jimmy sees him looking depressed and decides to drag him on stage for a duet. Jimmy's [[GiftedlyBad terrible singing]] makes Chuck's beautiful voice stand out even more, before Chuck grabs the microphone, goes solo, and wows the crowd: Jimmy's plan to coax him out of his shell and cheer him up has worked. As Chuck is played by Creator/MichaelMcKean, this is also a case of TheCastShowOff. |
| 145 | * ''Series/{{Farscape}}''. In the three-parter "Look at the Princess", Zhaan is the only member of the crew on Moya, so Pilot relays a request from the LivingShip for Zhaan to sing to them, opening all the doors so it will resonate throughout the ship. When Moya is SuddenlyVoiced in the final episode of the trilogy, her only request is that Zhaan sing once more. |
| 146 | * It turns out that Gomer from ''Series/GomerPyleUSMC'' can sing in [[https://youtu.be/7Jkkmb6jEAU?t=50 a beautiful baritone]] in contrast to his high-pitched and nasal speaking voice. This was to give Creator/JimNabors a chance to show off his pipes. In one episode he sings "Oh Mine Papa" so tenderly and beautifully it moves Sgt. Carter to not-so manly tears. |
| 147 | * ''Series/H2OJustAddWater'': As SirensAreMermaids in this series, it crops up at times. |
| 148 | ** While under the effects of the full moon, Cleo goes from HollywoodToneDeaf to having a singing voice so lovely, it [[CompellingVoice hypnotizes all the boys in town]] (though she never actually sings, she just harmonizes the whole time). Moonstruck!Cleo gets a swelled head about her new singing voice, but as soon as the moon sets, her voice goes back to normal and breaks the siren spell. |
| 149 | ** Bella's actress, Indiana Evans, [[TheCastShowoff is an actual singer]] and sings the new intro for the third season. Bella herself is quickly hired to sing at the café as soon as Nate's band hears her sing. Unlike Cleo, Bella's singing voice isn't magic. |
| 150 | ** ''Series/MakoMermaidsAnH2OAdventure'': Sirena is the only mermaid seen singing in this series. Her normal singing voice is beautiful, but she can also add magic effects to it if she wants to. She accidentally hypnotizes a boy into crushing on Nixie, and being startled while she's singing results is glass shattering. |
| 151 | * In ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', The Mother, [[spoiler:aka. Tracy [=McConnel=]]], is shown singing wistfully on the balcony of her hotel room, right next door to Ted's. As Ted informs his kids, the moment he heard her lovely voice, was when he began to fall in love with her, even though he had yet to meet her, let alone see her. |
| 152 | * In ''Series/OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding'', the jaded and serious Detective Williams shows some HiddenDepths when she sings "One" from ''Theatre/AChorusLine''. Oliver and Charles are both shocked and absolutely delighted when they hear that her voice is fabulous. |

| 154 | * Rebecca from ''Series/TedLasso'' is revealed in "Make Rebecca Great Again" to have a beautiful singing voice, and her best friend Sassy says she used to sing all the time before her abusive ex-husband put a stop to it. She later wows everyone when she sings [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 "Let It Go"]] at karaoke. |
| 155 | * ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'' has Mona, who gets quite a few musical moments throughout the show (being the show that it is, most of them end up being a case of IronicNurseryTune, but there are exceptions) to the point where even her best friend Hanna has enough while she’s preparing for an audition with the climax of Sara Bareilles’s “Gravity” and snaps “Okay, Mona, we get it! [[LampshadeHanging You can freakin’ sing!]]” |
| 156 | [[/folder]] |
| 157 | |
| 158 | [[folder:Myths & Religion]] |
| 159 | * Demi-God Orpheus from Greek Mythology the son of Apollo and Calliope has a voice so grand, its able to charm even his Aunt Persephone that she speaks out on his behalf to his Uncle/Great-Uncle Hades, to attempt to rescue his beloved. |
| 160 | * The Sirens of Greek and Roman myth were dangerous bird-human hybrid creatures whose voices and songs were so enticing, they would use them to lure sailors to shipwreck on the rocky beaches of their home islands. |
| 161 | [[/folder]] |
| 162 | |
| 163 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 164 | * ''TabletopGame/DisneyLorcana'' gives some Amber characters with notable singing voices an actual mechanical keyword, Singer, that allows them to help reduce the cost of Song cards. |
| 165 | * ''TabletopGame/InNomine'': Israfel, the Angel of Music, has the most beautiful singing voice of any being alive, and her performances regularly move other angels to tears. |
| 166 | [[/folder]] |
| 167 | |
| 168 | [[folder:ThemeParks]] |
| 169 | * In the Disneyland Paris version of ''Franchise/TheHauntedMansion'', "Phantom Manor", the Bride, in this version known as Melanie Ravenswood's lovely, melancholic singing can be heard throughout the entirety of the attraction, forming the LeitMotif of the ride, in essence adding to the overall more macabre theming in comparisons to the other variation, as her beautiful voice acts as a tragic parallel to her cursed and tortured life. |
| 170 | [[/folder]] |
| 171 | |
| 172 | [[folder:Theatre]] |
| 173 | * In the operetta ''The Firefly'', the main character is spotted by a choral director who insists that this "angel voice" simply must be allowed to join his boys' choir. [[SweetPollyOliver She's actually a girl soprano masquerading as a boy]], but her singing only becomes more spectacular after that fact is exposed. |
| 174 | * In ''{{Theatre/Hadestown}}'', the power of Orpheus', a demigod born of a muse therefore gifted a literally divine voice, singing pleases Persephone and Hades, two literal gods, so much so that the couple is inspired to reconcile and the notoriously stingy Hades allows Orpheus one chance to rescue Eurydice. It also greatly increases Eurydice's attraction to Orpheus at the beginning of their courtship, making even her [[BrokenBird cynical heart]] believe that his song could heal the world. |
| 175 | * In ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'', Rapunzel's lovely yet haunting voice carries through the woods and is the only thing that can calm the Witch in the midst of her tantrums, and charms the Prince before he basks in her beauty. |
| 176 | * ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'': |
| 177 | ** Christine Daae's voice is considered notably beautiful for an opera singer, a line of work in which this would be expected. Her voice is so lovely that the Phantom falls in love with her and kidnaps her. |
| 178 | ** The Phantom himself is noted as having a stunning voice, as Christine remembers during her lessons and her time at his lair, that his singing was exciting and beautiful. |
| 179 | -->'''Christine''': But his voice filled my spirit with a strange sweet sound,\ |
| 180 | In that night, there was music in my mind,\ |
| 181 | And from music, my soul began to soar,\ |
| 182 | And I heard as I never heard before. |
| 183 | ** Likewise Christine's son, Gustaf, in ''Theatre/LoveNeverDies'', is recognized for his skill with music and his crisp, clear timbre, [[spoiler:that the Phantom is able to intuit that the boy is actually his son and not Raoul's, which Christine confirms to be true.]] |
| 184 | * In ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals'', this is explicitly an effect of the HiveMind on the people of Hatchetfield. Charlotte says of her husband Sam that prior to the meteor falling he'd "always been a little flat", but once he's infected "he sound[s] like an angel". Professor Hidgens later uses musical skill as a test to see whether or not Emma and co. are infected. They all pass, by singing terribly. |
| 185 | [[/folder]] |
| 186 | |
| 187 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 188 | * In ''VideoGame/AtelierSophieTheAlchemistOfTheMysteriousBook'', Sophie mentions how much she likes to hear Monika sing at church. Several of Monika's character events explore this talent. |
| 189 | * In ''VideoGame/CoffeeTalk Episode 2: Hibiscus and Butterfly'', Lucas points out to Riona that sirens are better favored as sopranos because of their naturally alluring voices, to her disdain because she's a banshee who wishes to be an opera singer. |
| 190 | * ''VideoGame/EternalSeniaHydrangeaAfterTheRain'': Briella, as noted in multiple places: |
| 191 | ** One of the things Little Fairy can say when she's the character in the StartScreen and tapped, is: |
| 192 | ---> Briella's voice is beautiful! I want to hear her sing again! |
| 193 | ** When she's encountered singing in Balder, when all Senia just hears her voice, she thinks: |
| 194 | ---> What a beautiful voice... |
| 195 | * In the iconic Opera House storyline in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', Celes successfully pulls off a plot to board Setzer's airship by pretending to be an opera star and allowing herself to be kidnapped. In the course of doing this, she actually performs "Aria de Mezzo Caraterre" -- ''a song written for a world-famous opera singer'' -- and does so without embarrassing herself. |
| 196 | * Princess Garnett from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'' voice is also lovely, as Zidane is drawn all the way to the Castle of Lindblum, after hearing her ethereal singing her Lullaby. |
| 197 | * Yuna in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'' is able to quell a near civil war in Spira all due to holding a concert. In the same vein Lenne, the spirit within the Songstress sphere, along with being a summoner during the war, was a very popular Pop Idol in Zanarkand. |
| 198 | * Variation: Daddy Dearest of ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' is an ex-rockstar and currently trying to rap in order to humiliate his daughter's boyfriend. The boyfriend himself admits in his ImageSong that Dearest has "the voice of an angel when he's spitting [rhymes]", implying that he sounds very good in-universe. |
| 199 | * Kate Alen of ''VideoGame/FZeroX'' is a megastar pop diva known for her soulful vocals, as well as her powerful dance moves. She became an F-Zero racer, not as a publicity stunt but ''in spite of'' her success as a singer. |
| 200 | * Marin from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening'' is noted as an excellent singer, with most of the series characters praising her voice at one point or another. It's so good, in fact, that the entire Animal Village drops what they're doing to listen to her sing, and this even becomes a plot point when Marin accompanies you there to wake up a particularly stubborn sleeping walrus. |
| 201 | * Luna from ''VideoGame/LunarTheSilverStar'' is known within her village for her extraordinary singing voice. In fact, a common trait across all of [[spoiler:Althena's reincarnations]] is their incredible singing ability, which is why [[spoiler:Ghaleon]] starts searching for [[spoiler:Althena]] by kidnapping talented singers. |
| 202 | * Yang from ''VideoGame/{{Lyrica}}'' is an aspiring musician whose talent lies in her powerful singing voice. She tries to learn other instruments, but due to her lack of skills in those area, she tends to mess up her beat, which hinders her singing from reaching its true potential. |
| 203 | * Played with by Manuela Hidalgo in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheDarksideChronicles''. She really ''does'' have a lovely singing voice (which is even shown to [[spoiler:soothe her mother Hilda--[[TragicMonster transformed into a B.O.W. by the effects of the T-Veronica virus]]--if she sings the lullaby her mother used to sing to her]]), but her singing causes Krauser to chastise her, as it'll bring attention to the group. The second time Krauser comments on her singing (this time during [[spoiler:his perspective of the second and final battle with Hilda]]), he doesn't even note the quality of her voice, but [[spoiler:the possibility that Hilda's strong reaction to the song was due to [[WasOnceAMan her previously being human]]]]. |
| 204 | * In ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'', Quna is famous for her singing voice in her public identity as an idol, and hosts most of the concerts on the ARKS Ships as a result. Her concerts are always packed and met with thunderous applause. Even before becoming an idol, [[TheBerserker Haddred]] would always become docile listening to her sing. His first and last words are to ask her to sing for him again. |
| 205 | * ''VideoGame/{{Sdorica}}'' has a couple of examples: |
| 206 | ** The mermaid Hestia, whose voice is reputed to make hardened criminals cry. |
| 207 | ** PAFF, a mysterious IdolSinger whose voice has made her a worldwide sensation, and for whom only singing brings any measure of happiness. |
| 208 | * ''VideoGame/VermintideII'': One bit of character banter in the PlayerHeadquarters has Markus mention that he overheard the standoffish elf Kerillian singing a hauntingly beautiful song alone at night, a hint at her HiddenDepths. |
| 209 | [[/folder]] |
| 210 | |
| 211 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 212 | * The protagonist in ''VisualNovel/{{Melody}}'' notes that the title character is an excellent singer upon hearing her sing for the first time. Justified in that Melody has loved music all her life. |
| 213 | [[/folder]] |
| 214 | |
| 215 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 216 | * Weiss Schnee from ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' is known to have an amazing singing voice. She is introduced in the White Trailer singing before a huge audience, during which she has a flashback to how she obtained the scar on her face. While in Beacon, Jaune cites her amazing singing voice as one of the reasons why he's so attracted to her. During Volume 4, Weiss's father, Jacques, takes advantage of her talent to host a benefit in aid of Vale where she is the star performer, the purpose of which is to improve his company's PR in light of the global Dust embargo. |
| 217 | [[/folder]] |
| 218 | |
| 219 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 220 | * ''Webcomic/CursedPrincessClub'': Maria, eldest princess of the Pastel Kingdom, is noted to have a beautiful singing voice. She personally wants to give a public exhibition of her singing talent (her fiancé Blaine offers to accompany her on piano, being the second best piano player in the land), but King Jack is resistant to her doing a public concert. Palace guard Beckett Dandridge falls in love with Maria entirely from hearing her singing, as the guards are forbidden from looking directly at the princesses' faces. |
| 221 | * In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Ellen has such a talent for singing that she can [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2006-04-17 sing karaoke]] with her eyes closed and still get a perfect score. |
| 222 | * ''Webcomic/ElfAndWarrior'': Basri, surprisingly, despite being terrible at everything else, is a ''great'' singer. He quickly becomes famous throughout town, and Hector uses this to get rich. He gives it up to go back to trying to be a wizard. |
| 223 | * Umimi Shira of ''Webcomic/KaitenMutenmaru'' is a sheltered mermaid princess whose [[MagicMusic singing voice has magic properties]], such as the ability to heal wounds. Mutenmaru mistakes her for an angel upon meeting her and hearing her voice. |
| 224 | * Sapient ArmCannon Jabby from ''Webcomic/{{Spacetrawler}}'' [[https://www.baldwinpage.com/spacetrawler/2018/04/19/041918-stress-relief/ is apparently a lovely tenor]]. |
| 225 | * Zoey from ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'' claims at one point that she has a voice like an angel. Turns out that this is NotHyperbole, as when she gives a demonstration [[spoiler:Larisa (who in a previous arc had accepted a DevilsJobOffer) [[HolyBurnsEvil starts bursting into flames]].]] |
| 226 | * Buwaro from ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'' turns out to have a natural talent for singing, with his girlfriend Kieri (an [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angel]] in whose culture excellent singers are considered attractive) being [[ArousedByTheirVoice quite impressed]]. |
| 227 | [[/folder]] |
| 228 | |
| 229 | [[folder:WebVideo]] |
| 230 | * Aquaman in ''WebVideo/YoungJusticeAbridged''. Singing is an integral part of Atlantean culture, and their leaders are expected to be the best at it. Arthur sounds professional despite having no training, and his rendition of "My Heart Will Go On" is enough to prove to the Atlantean people that he's worthy of being their king. |
| 231 | [[/folder]] |
| 232 | |
| 233 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 234 | * Rita[[note]]Voiced by Bernadette Peters[[/note]] from ''{{WesternAnimation/Animaniacs}}'' is a cat who sings in almost every episode she appears in, which is also lampshaded in the theme song. Runt tells her several times that she's a good singer. |
| 235 | * ''{{WesternAnimation/Archer}}'': It's discovered in season five that Cheryl is an amazing singer, but she only demonstrates her talent once she takes on the new Cherlene, who [[ThatManIsDead claims that Cheryl is gone.]] She's so good that she skyrockets to the top of the country music charts and is invited to the country of San Marcos after its president becomes enamored with her performances. After the season ends, Cheryl reverts back to her original personality and Cherlene becomes completely forgotten to her along with her stardom, so much so that she thinks Archer is joking when he asks her, incredulous, if she really doesn't remember being the top country star in the country. |
| 236 | * Of all people, ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' is shown to have this in the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited'' episode "This Little Piggy". The sorceress Circe curses Franchise/WonderWoman, [[ForcedTransformation turning her into a pig]], but is not so petty as to not give Batman a chance to restore Wondy to normal. Her terms? Batman must sing "Am I Blue?" at the Amphitheater on Mykonos. His performance is so riveting and suave that ''it moves both Circe and ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} to tears.'' Thank you, Creator/KevinConroy. |
| 237 | * ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold:'' Black Canary, complete with an entire musical episode giving her three different occasions to sing. Unfortunately, it also attracts the Music Meister to her. |
| 238 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': |
| 239 | ** Sweetie Belle is repeatedly noted for being a fine singer with a great voice, though she is absolutely terrified of singing in front of an audience. Ironically, she's more than willing to do things in front of an audience that she isn't even particularly good at -- like stagecraft. |
| 240 | ** The episode "Filli Vanilli" has the Mane 6 discovering that Fluttershy has a beautiful singing voice, but while she enjoys singing in the company of her animals, she is terrified to sing in front of other ponies. |
| 241 | * ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'': Sean doesn't get to sing much outside of rhythmically talking during song numbers, but when he does sing, everyone acknowledges that he's got talent. Sean apparently gets this from SingingInTheShower. Jet spends a good chunk of "Holidays in Boxwood Terrace" gushing over Sean's beautiful singing voice. |
| 242 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' has ''several'' examples: |
| 243 | ** Sideshow Bob, who has the dulcet baritenor of Creator/KelseyGrammer. Notably, in "Cape Feare", Bart uses his last request to have Bob sing the entirety of ''Theatre/HMSPinafore'' to stall his death before their houseboat reaches Springfield. |
| 244 | ** Ned Flanders in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E7BartsGirlfriend Bart's Girlfriend]]". His singing is so beautiful that Bart thought it was the siren song of Jessica Lovejoy, the ManipulativeBitch he had a crush on. |
| 245 | ** The episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E1HomersBarbershopQuartet Homer's Barbershop Quartet]]" shows that, of all the recruited members of Homer's band [[Music/TheBeatles The Be Sharps]], Barney has the most beautiful Irish tenor voice. Homer, Apu, and Skinner discover this by accident and immediately recruit him for the group, quickly propelling [[BarbershopQuartetsAreFunny The Be Sharps]] into enormous success. |
| 246 | ** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS19E2HomerOfSeville The Homer of Seville]]", Homer discovers that he has an amazing operatic singing voice -- good enough to ''bring a flatlining patient back from the dead'' -- but only when lying flat on his back. |
| 247 | ** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E11HomersTripleBypass Homer's Triple Bypass]]", Homer is shown singing "O Holy Night" as a soloist in a choir. Grandpa Simpson comments on how Homer's voice will make him rich... and then Homer suddenly hits puberty and his voice breaks mid-song, giving him the voice he has now. |
| 248 | ** In "My Fair Laddy", Groundskeeper Willie is shown to have a great singing voice after becoming a perfect gentleman. After his song "Longing for the Shack", Mr. Largo (who had become his replacement as groundskeeper) sings the final line, then tells him that if he had his voice, he'd talk-sing everything. |
| 249 | * The titular ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' has been shown to have a fantastic singing voice that other characters are amazed by, especially in episodes like "Ripped Pants" and "Band Geeks", which of course employs the use of SingingVoiceDissonance for comedic effect. But the episode "Choir Boys" shows that [=SpongeBob's=] normal singing voice is quite angelic as well, enough to enchant some jellyfish and make him qualify to join the Bikini Bottom Men's Choir, much to Squidward's dismay. |
| 250 | * ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': |
| 251 | ** Courtney's (voiced by Creator/EmilieClaireBarlow) singing voice is surprisingly beautiful, so much that a {{Narcissist}} like Justin immediately falls for her upon hearing it. She's also the only character to enjoy the singing aspect of the third season, finding excuses to break into song and complaining when she doesn't participate in an episode's singing challenge. |
| 252 | ** Being a parody of several Disney princesses, Ella is a FriendToAllLivingThings whose singing is liked by animals. On the other hand, some characters like [[{{Jerkass}} Chris and Sugar]] find her tendency to break into a song annoying. |
| 253 | * ''[[Franchise/{{Peanuts}} It Was My Best Birthday Ever, Charlie Brown]]'' features Mimi, a girl whom Linus meets while out rollerblading around the neighborhood. He is entranced when he overhears her singing, and after getting to know her, he's absolutely smitten. He can't get her voice out of his head. |
