== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Happens thrice or so in ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', first with a broadcast to the scattered settlements to tell them of the Brigade's plight on the surface, a few episodes later with Nia to keep [[Call to Adventure|those who responded]] to the first [[Epic Hail]] from needlessly sacrificing themselves, and once again near the end {{spoiler|from the Brigade to any galaxy in hearing distance}}.
* Happens in ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' when Sousuke signals to Mithril that he is alive by spelling out the words with gasoline and lighting it just as Mithril's satellite passes over head. He then uses the grass fire he created as cover.
* [[Vandread]] does this epicly in the second-to-last episode in the second season. They send a message to both warring planets of Tarrak and Mejale, and not just via a video message either, but also by demonstrating the eponymous [[Combining Mecha]], the Vandreads. This is very important due to the message of unity between the two planets as Vandreads are made up from both planets' technology (albeit heavily modified by the Paexis Pragma). Not too long after, several elite squads from both planets defied their planets' order to standby and reinforces the Nirvana fleet followed by the most epic act of drawing the first blood by a Tarrakian wizened elder warrior.

{{quote|'''Harry''': "[[I Know Your True Name|Elaine Lilian Mallory!]]" I called, and in my head, my voice rumbled like thunder. "I am Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, and I bid thee hear me! Hear my voice, Elaine!"}}
** In ''Small Favor'', Harry brings a couple guns to his showdown with Nicodemus. These particular guns are incendiary rounds, which shoot a very large fireball, which is capable of melting metal. This is [[Awesome but Practical|dual purpose]]; the first use is to surprise Nicodemus and the Nickelheads, and get them to back off for a few minutes. The second is to signal Miss Gard to bring in the helicopter (mounted with a machine gun) [[Big Entrance|while blaring ''Ride of the Valkyries''.]]
* Partial example of [[Horton Hears a Who!]]: The Whoville residents set up an Epic Hail of "We Are Here!" in order to save themselves from complete annihilation.
* ''[[wikipedia:Paul Reverechr(27)s Ride (poem)|Listen, my children, and you shall hear / Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere...'']]
* In ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'', Prince Caspian using Queen Susan's horn to call the Pevensies to Narnia to help him in his battle for Narnia's freedom, could be considered one of these.
