Audio Erotica: Difference between revisions

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".

* ''[[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.

* Louis Wu meets Nessus for the first time in ''[[Ringworld]]'':

* 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.

* 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.

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Veruca enraptures Oz with her husky singing voice—an annoyed Willow later describes her thus; "dresses like [[Really Gets Around|Faith]], voice like an albatross".

 

== 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.

 

 

* 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.

* Once [[GLaDOS]]'s Morality Core is destroyed in ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'', she takes on a low, seductive voice, pointed out in the [[Closed Captioning|descriptive subtitles]] as such. [[Word of God]] says that they initially had Ellen McLain do a sexy voice for the turrets and loved it, but discovered that it didn't fit them, and so found a way to use it for GLaDOS later.

 

 

* 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...

{{quote|'''Brad:''' All you need is a penis the size of a lightsaber and the rest is done for you.

 

 

* 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.
