Audio Erotica: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"Even her voice is pure audio sex!"''|'''Julia Evans''' on her [[Really Gets Around]] friend. "Mindstar Rising" by [[Peter F. Hamilton]].}}

 

Sexy voices, basically. Husky ones are popular; breathy, low [[Marilyn Monroe]]-esque voices are iconic. For men, deep baritones with sonorous intonations often are used. Bassos are rarer but can also fit the bill. A popular variation is the "Siren Switch," where the speaker isn't ''nearly'' as sexy as their voice.

 

 

Not to be confused with the similarly named, but very different, [[Auto Erotica]] (which simply means having sex in a car).

 

* The Quizno commercials featuring a man named Scott and the infamous Quizno toaster oven, who speaks in a rather husky voice, and once asked Scott to sound "sexier".

* Marks and Spencer adverts in the UK feature a deliberately low and erotic voice describing almost comically lavish foodstuffs, followed by the tagline "This is not just food... this is M&S food".

'''[[Charlie Brooker]]''': ''(frantically undoing belt)'' Damn right it's not, it's food that's about to be '''fucked silly'''... }}

* Isaiah Mustafa, known to the world as [[The Man Your Man Could Smell Like|the Old Spice Guy]].

 

* ''[[Ai Kora]]'': [[Ninja|Kirino]] has [[Chivalrous Pervert|Maeda's]] [[Fetish|ideal voice]] and secretly loves to sing karaoke, so naturally he persuades her to sing at every opportunity. Once she realises this is his fetish... *BOOM*

* The main character of the H-manga ''[[Boy Soprano]]''. All of the girls get seriously wet from hearing Akira's moans. [[Uke|And he moans a lot.]]

* In ''[[Gotham Central]]'', [[Dirty Cop|Officer Tim Munroe]] describes Posion Ivy's voice as being like honey, and when he tries to imagine what she looks like based on her voice his narration trails off.

 

* ''[[The Andromeda Strain]]''. Dr. Hall comments that the voice of the woman making PA announcements is sexy, but the doctor is told that she's 63 years old.

** [[Lampshade Hanging|And records announcements like that for a living,]] or at least in the book.

* In ''[[A Fish Called Wanda]]'', [[John Cleese|Archie]] has this effect on Wanda whenever he speaks certain foreign (to them) languages, especially Russian.

 

* ''Beaufort'' by Ron Leshem. The [[Israelis With Infrared Missiles|IDF soldiers]] complain that the female radio operatives with the sexiest voices inevitably turn out to be not-so-good looking.

* When [[John Le Carre|George Smiley]] asks unhappily retired Connie Sachs for information about a Russian agent, one of the things she recalls is his wonderful voice, which she heard on surveillance tapes of phone calls.

* The aged, smallpox scarred former courtesan in [[Judge Dee|The Red Pavilion]] has an unbelievable beautiful and sexy voice that the Judge finds extremely disturbing.

* ''[[Black Dagger Brotherhood|Lover Eternal]]'' has Mary the suicide hotline operator whose voice is so appealing that John calls every night just to hear her talk (even though ''he'' is mute) and it literally bespells Rhage, her love interest.

* Ambrosio's first sermon in ''[[The Monk]]'' is clearly presented as an example as he's got half of Madrid swooning in his church.

 

* One episode of ''[[Taxi]]'' had Alex dating a woman from an answering service. She was overweight and had a history of men dating her because of her sexy voice and then dumping her as soon as they found what she looked like.

* In ''[[NCIS]]'', [[Perky Goth]] Abby Sciuto once went under cover at a telephone sex line. She was chosen for the assignment because of her distinctly raspy voice.

* The ''[[Seinfeld]]'' episode "The Tape" revolves around this. Elaine leaves a provocative message on Jerry's answering machine as a joke. Only George knows it's actually Elaine. Awkwardness ensues, along with [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarity]].

* [[Peter Sellers]] in ''[[The Goon Show]]'' occasionally voiced a character called "breathy Kensington thing". It's a spookily realistic sexy female impersonation, often accompanied by gags about censorship.

* In one episode of the ''[[Bionic Woman]]'' remake, advantage was taken of Michelle Ryan's [[British Accents|real-life accent]] for an undercover mission her character was sent out on... the techie talking to her via an electronic earpiece commented on how hot she sounded.

* On ''[[Friends]]'', Phoebe got a cold and was excited about her "new sexy voice".

* In the ''[[Modern Family]]'' episode "Truth Be Told", Claire discovers that Phil has been corresponding with his ex-girlfriend Denise on [[Facebook]]. Phil insists that nothing untoward is going on and gives Claire all of Denise's messages to read. Claire reads them out loud in a sexy voice, much to Phil's confusion. {{spoiler|Later, Denise visits and says that she thought Phil wanted to have an affair, quoting from his messages to her in a very similar sexy voice.}}

* Jade of ''[[Victorious]]'' has a really lovely singing voice. So much that one of her classmates Andre ends up developing a crush on her because of it.

 

== Mythology ==

* In [[Hindu Mythology]], Hanuman's voice is said to be so potent that he could ''impregnate'' women just by singing.

 

* [[Lana Del Rey]]

* A "siren switch" shows up in the music video for the re-release of Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion", in which a young man calls a sex hotline and is drawn in by the sultry female voice on the other line. At the end of the video, we finally see the conversation from her end: she's a chunky middle-aged woman in a drab housedress holding a baby in one hand, ironing with the other, and gripping the phone with her shoulder.

* ''[[The Runaways]]'' incorporate moaning into many of their songs.

* There's a mainstream example in Pitbull and T-Pain's song Hey Baby. (You may better know the song as [[Title Confusion|"Ooh, baby, baby...lalalalalalala..."]])

* [[Selena Gomez]]'s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1-JiS2zl9Y cover of "Trust in Me" from The Jungle Book] sounds ''much'' more seductive than the original.

 

 

 

* Made fun of in ''[[Rayman]] 3: Hoodlum Havoc'', where Globox falls for the voice of an unknown female character inside the [[Elaborate Underground Base|Hoodlum HQ]]. This helps the Hoodlums lure him into a trap.

* An unknown character in an optional scene in ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'' keeps [[Chivalrous Pervert|Zidane]] interested from the other side of a stone gate with her voice. The speaker is never revealed, but, given that it was a gate to the Burmecian territories, the odds are that she was a [[Petting Zoo People|Petting Zoo Person]].

* In ''[[Psychonauts]]'' there is an underground cart that works as a quick-travel device. Whenever Raz wants to use it, he'll be greeted by a deliberately erotic computerized female voice that will ask him where he wants to go. If the player does not want to go anywhere, Raz will humorously answer that he just dropped by to listen to her voice.

* In ''[[Hatoful Boyfriend]]'', if you skip class to visit the infirmary, Dr. Iwamine scolds the heroine and asks why she's there. One of the answer options (which gets you points with him!) is, "I just wanted to hear your voice."

* In [[Mass Effect 3]], both Shepard and Samantha comment on EDI (the computer) having a sexy voice.

 

== Webcomics ==

 

 

* In [[The Nostalgia Critic]]'s "You're a Rotten Dirty Bastard" Christmas special, Brad would never have become [[The Cinema Snob]] [[It's a Wonderful Plot|if the Critic never existed]]. He instead becomes the world's greatest porn star...

'''Brad:''' It's to be expected. }}

** The Critic himself got fangirled over by [[The Nostalgia Chick|Elisa and Nella]] when he dressed up like [[Tim Curry]] and impersonated his "I'm orgasming on every word" style of voice.

 

 

* A rich widow in the ''[[Woody Woodpecker]]'' cartoon, "A Fine Feathered Frenzy" pulls the siren switch. Woody reads her ad in the personals where it says that she's a 'Gorgeous Gal' who is wealthy, has lots of food and is looking to marry a young man. So he calls her on the phone. With her sexy voice Gorgeous calls him sweetie and dream boy, says she loves Woodpeckers and he's the only thing on her mind. She invites him to come over to her mansion and says she'll be waiting for him. When Woody meets her it turns out she is an overweight and elderly crow. Gorgeous Gal chases after him, lavishes him with kisses and continues flirting with him with her lovely voice. Woody is no longer interested but Gorgeous Gal's love for woodpeckers wins out in the end. She drags him into a submarine and gets a priest to marry them.

* Medusa performs the siren switch in ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'' during the episode, "Mega Trouble For Megaland". Kid Icarus pulls Simon Belmont's goggles over his eyes and covers them with black paint so he doesn't look at Medusa while they are on a mission. She flirts with Simon telling him he's handsome and that there's a chance she could fall for him. Her voice is so alluring that Simon is ready to kiss her, sight unseen. Of course when he does take his goggles off to look at Medusa he sees that she has light blue skin, large yellow reptilian eyes, the body and figure of an unnatractive elderly woman and snakes for hair. The horrified Simon turns to stone.

* In ''To Live and Die in Dixie'', [[Family Guy|Stewie]] joins a bluegrass band and sings this little ditty:

Twice as tall as me, three times the girth (''Giiiiirth'') }}

* One episode of ''[[Duckman]]'' has Our Intrepid Hero fall in love with a female 911 operator because of how her voice sounded. Then he finally meets her in person and discovers that she's [[Lena Hyena|a bit lacking in the looks department.]] So much so, that [[Take Our Word for It|her face isn't even shown onscreen]] until she has drastic cosmetic surgery to make herself look pretty.

* The 13th ''Treehouse of Horror'' episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', in the mini-episode called "House of Wacks" had this when Lisa and Marge picked the new house's voice to be [[Pierce Brosnan]]'s. Lisa claimed it would bring sophistication to the home, but we all know why it was picked...

** The other options included [[Dennis Miller]].

"''Murder''-suicides." }}

* ''[[South Park]]'' has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktytnQHvlww Casey Miller]:

* Evil Barry from ''[[American Dad]]''.
