A character gains a lot of weight in a short time, gaining mass in every part of their body, even their voice. Their voice will get deeper and thicker as if some of the extra pounds ended up in their larynx. Generally only found in animated works, and very common in anime. Not to be confused with [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|the Heavy's]] [[No Indoor Voice|voice]].

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Hachibei in [https://web.archive.org/web/20200908232109/http://www.tenmanga.com/chapter/AiKora88/134965-14.html chapter 88, page 14]{{Dead link}} of ''[[Ai Kora]]'' when he tells Kirino, after she has gained weight due to a drug slipped into the dorm's water supply, that her "voice is fatter". This is a pun in the original Japanese version of the manga, in which Hachibei tells Kirino "koefuto", which can usually mean "to grow fat", but in this context it includes the word "koe" meaning "voice".
* In episode six of ''[[Wandaba Style]]'', [[The Professor]] is in a slump, so his pilots ([[Girl Group|the girls of Mix Juice]]), have nothing to do, and thus gain weight from just sitting around. This is hinted at (before we see them completely) by their voices. (Note: averted in the English dub)
* In an episode of ''Wagamama Fairy Mirumo De Pon!'', Mirumo and Kaede both gain weight thanks to Kaede's rival sending her cakes. Kaede doesn't gain too much weight, but Mirumo, being a [[Lilliputians|Lilliputian]], has a more substantial weight gain with a lowered voice to match.
Line 10:
* In the seventh episode of ''[[Di Gi Charat]]'', Gema falls in the river and drinks a lot of water, making him grow huge and giving him a deep voice.
* Zura from ''[[Mamotte Lollipop]]'' is a little [[Cartoon Creature|seahorse-thing]] that can blow up like a balloon and float. When it does this, it can still talk, but its voice is much deeper than usual.
* This happened to [[Panty and& Stocking Withwith Garterbelt (Anime)|Stocking]] in episode 4-A, after she balloons into an obese [[Attack of the Fifty 50-Foot Whatever|giant]].
* ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'''s Fuu gets this whenever she gorges herself in at least the Japanese and English versions of the show (not so much in the German version).
* ''[[One Piece]]'', Usopp on the Bowin Islands.
Line 24:
* In ''[[Super Smash Bros Brawl]],'' when a characters gets a [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|mushroom]] and grows larger, their voice deepens. Justified in that the mushroom doubles the size of their entire body, including the voicebox.
* In the ''[[Uncharted]]'' series, the Doughnut Drake costume makes Nathan very, very fat. As a side-effect, his voice is pitch-shifted downward by about 15%.
* In ''[[Mario and& Luigi: BowsersBowser's Inside Story]]'', the Toads infected by [[The Virus|the blorbs]] have deeper speech vocalizations than those who are uninfected.
* In ''[[Sly Cooper|Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves]]'', when Carmelita Fox is wearing the Mask of Dark Earth, her voice gets deeper as she gets [[Attack of the Fifty 50-Foot Whatever|larger]].
* As the titular princesses of ''[[Fat Princess]]'' get heavier, their voices change accordingly.
 
Line 33:
** Inverted in "Spontaneous Combustion", with Cartman's voice getting higher after losing a lot of weight.
* Bender from ''[[Futurama]]'' may be a robot and thus find it hard to get fat but in one "What if..." episode where he becomes human and then lives as he normally does (which is to excess) he becomes extremely fat with a deeper, less excited voice.
* Subverted in one episode of ''[[Scaredy Squirrel (Animation)|Scaredy Squirrel]]'', where, after gorging on nutbars, Scaredy seems to have a deeper voice, but he just had a (still-wrapped) nutbar in his throat.
* Mammoth Mutt in ''[[Krypto the Superdog (Animationanimation)|Krypto the Superdog]]'' whenever she inflates herself.
