I wrote a trope that is rather similar to this one, "Keep Reading". It also features a character reading something out loud for the benefit of the audience. But in my case it's more specific: one character prods the other to "Read it!" and the reader even shows signs of how awkward it feels to be reading it out loud. Think they should be merged?
RE: The Independence Day example. I might be misremembering, but wasn't the in-character voice of what I assume was an Apollo astronaut reading the plaque aloud in the original English?
