An [[Obviously Evil|easy way to tell if someone is evil]] is that their voice is much deeper than a normal character, often artificially so. If someone undergoes a [[Face Heel Turn]], then along with their [[Evil Makeover]] their voice will either drop a few octaves, get put through a voice modulator or be combined with another voice speaking in a much deeper tone of voice. If an [[Anti-Hero]] decides to move a few notches down the [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]], then he will start talking in a deeper, more serious tone of voice. Male characters almost always get an unapproachable, commanding cadence. Villainesses usually get a [[Evil Is Sexy|sultry, suggestive one]], unless they're supposed to be in command or ''actually'' scary in which case their cadence will be dismissive and forbidding. |
