<big>DIFFERS SLIGHTLY FROM [[Chewing the Scenery]] IN THAT IT'S NOT THE ACTING THAT'S CRANKED UP TO MAXIMUM—JUST THE VOLUME.</big>

<big>SOME-</big> ahem, some categories of television shows seem more prone to this type of acting than others:

Line 29:

* [[Cute but Cacophonic]], when characters you wouldn't expect are this, hence it's often used in comedies.

* [[Large Ham]], who probably lacks an indoor voice but gets away with it by virtue of sheer charisma.

* [[Make Me Wanna Shout]], where someone with [[No Indoor Voice]] uses volume as a weapon.

* [[Make Me Wanna Shout]], where someone with '''No Indoor Voice''' uses volume as a weapon.

* [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!]], where, in addition to shouting, the person also adds an exclamation mark after each word.

----

Line 73:

* The English dub version of ''[[Naruto]]'' is an [[Egregious]] example of this. The title character does calm down noticably as he matures through the series; especially in ''Shippuden''.

* Several characters in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'', especially later on, due to [[Vocal Evolution]].

** For a prominent example in the dub, listen to Kaiba in the first episode of the edited version. Then listen to him in the uncut ~~dub -- he~~'s a lot louder and sounds more like Brock from ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' (which is little surprise, as they're both voiced by Eric Stuart).

** In the Singapore dub of the series, most of the characters (''especially'' Yami) simply yell out all their lines. Even so, it is often preferred to the 4Kids version due to the script's closer translation of the original.

** As seen on the quotes page, this trope is [[Played for Laughs]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Abridged Series]].

Line 167:

* '''CROKER''' in ''[[Evil Alien Conquerors]]''. Justified because he's a [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|100 foot tall giant]] who's been shrunken down to about six feet, and hasn't even noticed yet, much less learned to tone down his voice accordingly.

{{quote|'''''<big>"YOUR TINY VOICE BARELY REACHES MY HUGE EARS!!!"</big>'''''}}

* In ''Bus Stop'', Don Murray's character Bo ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE YELLING about something and causing a scene. One of the many, many facets of his inherent [[~~Jerkass|jerkassery~~]].

* In ''Bus Stop'', Don Murray's character Bo ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE YELLING about something and causing a scene. One of the many, many facets of his inherent [[jerkass]]ery.

* While [[Jim Carrey]] often falls for it, he yells the most in ''[[Liar Liar]]''. During the trial scenes it's justified (a lawyer needs to be passionate) but on other scenes he's just frustrated ("STOP BREAKING THE LAW, ASSHOLE!").

* Pretty much the schtick of any [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]], ''especially'' the [[Trope Codifier]], [[R. Lee Ermey|Gunnery Sergeant]] Hartman in ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]''.

Line 191:

== LIVE-ACTION TV ==

* ''[[Trigger Happy TV]]'' has the giant cellphone man who answers his ridiculously large phone and shouts into it as loud as possible, and does it in traditionally quiet places, such as a restaurant, or a movie theater, or an acapella concert, or even a book store.

* Peter Boyd in ''[[Waking the Dead]]'' is surely one of the most obnoxious examples of the trope. Constant shouting is supposed to reinforce how mentally edgy the character ~~is -- if~~ the police harassment, property damage and general violence haven't tipped you off already. Might be a case of [[Chewing the Scenery]] gone badly wrong... especially in later episodes, when every other regular character follows suit. The fact that they're always interrupting each other makes it even more frustrating.

* ''[[That's So Raven]]'', ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]'', ''[[Lizzie McGuire]]''... Is the Disney Channel out to deafen us?

* [[CBBC]] seems to have "must be audible from overhead aeroplanes" as a requirement for its presenters.

Line 221:

* Dustin Hoffman in the TV movie version of ''[[Death of a Salesman]]''. He starts at about 7 or 8, cranks it up to 11 in the first five minutes and then never backs down a peg. It makes the whole play Dustin Hoffman SHOUTING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS! YOU CAN'T EAT THE ORANGE AND THROW THE PEEL AWAY!!!! A MAN IS NOT A PIECE OF FRUIT!!!! It gets tiring.

* Anything played by Matt Berry ([[The IT Crowd|Douglas Reynholm]]. ''[[Garth Marenghi's Darkplace]]'', Dr. Lucian Sanchez. "WHAT?! AM I HOLDING A CROCK OF SHIT? IS THIS HOSPITAL CALLED 'ST. CROCK OF SHIT'?"

* FBI Agent Gordon ~~Cole -- played~~ by [[David Lynch]] ~~himself -- in~~ ''[[Twin Peaks]]'' is deaf and yells nearly every line of dialogue. Combined with his [[Cloudcuckoolander]] personality, this makes for one odd character.

* FBI Agent Gordon Cole—played by [[David Lynch]] himself—in ''[[Twin Peaks]]'' is deaf and yells nearly every line of dialogue. Combined with his [[Cloudcuckoolander]] personality, this makes for one odd character.

* Regis freakin' Philbin, especially on ''[[Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?]]''

* ''[[The Young Ones]]'': Rick and Vyvyan shout constantly at the top of their lungs. The latter gets bonus points for already possessing the ''vox humana'' equivalent of broken glass in a wood chipper.

Line 254:

* Dalton Rumba on ''[[Glee]]''. Partially justified because he's deaf in one ear, but DAMN! '''SCARLET FEVER!!'''

* Jeremy Brett's performance as [[Sherlock Holmes]] features ample amounts of this trope; Holmes is prone of shifting from near-whisper to shouting his lungs out at a moment's notice, sometimes accompanied by complete ignorance of furniture or other obstacles as he skips to meet his newest client, or Watson with some new clue at hand.

* G4 TV's show ''That's Tough'' ~~-- because~~ you know things are tough when EVERY WORD OF THE NARRATOR IS DELIVERED LIKE A JERRY BRUCKHEIMER MOVIE TRAILER FILLED WITH EXPLOSIONS! ''THAT'S TOUGH!!!''

* G4 TV's show ''That's Tough''—because you know things are tough when EVERY WORD OF THE NARRATOR IS DELIVERED LIKE A JERRY BRUCKHEIMER MOVIE TRAILER FILLED WITH EXPLOSIONS! ''THAT'S TOUGH!!!''

* ''[[X-Play]]'' comedy character CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY CRAAAAAAZY ADAM!!!

* Ms. Wolowitz in ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]''.

Line 260:

* [[Hard Gay]] is almost always shouting. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in one episode when a clerk tells him to keep his voice down, and he responds, "NO VOLUME CONTROL, HOOO!"

* ''[[Horrible Histories]]'' invokes this at various times. Most notably with the "I'M A SHOUTY MAN!" sketches which crop up in various episodes. Other notable sketches include one from S1E5 with Caligula "THINK YOU'RE BIGGER THAN ME?".

* ''[[Super Sentai]]'' has a string of Red Rangers who fell into this category starting from the early 2000s: Yousuke in ''[[Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger|Hurricanger]]'', Ryoga in ''[[Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger|Abaranger]]'', Ban in ''[[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger|Dekaranger]]'', Kai in ''[[Mahou Sentai Magiranger|Magiranger]]'', Jan in ''[[Juken Sentai Gekiranger|Gekiranger]]'', and Sousuke in ''Go-Onger''. Many of these can also be classified as [[Keet~~|Keets~~]] as well. ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger|Gokaiger]]'' avoided this trope for Gokai Red, but boy howdy did they ever bring it back for [[Sixth Ranger|Gokai Silver]].

* The one rule of ''[[National Bingo Night]]'': you need a loud commissioner that can pull off a good "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~ BINGO!". Preferably Indian.

* Sometimes, this came from the announcer's booth on ''[[The Price Is Right]]''. When longtime announcer Rod Roddy fell ill in the early 2000s, Paul Boland (formerly of the 1998 revival of ''[[Match Game]]'') did a week of guest announcing. The staff asked him to tone down his delivery; he refused, and never set foot in studio 33 again.

Line 339:

* Some demons in ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'' games speak in all caps when they speak.

* ''[[Blaz Blue]]''

** The two resident [[Large Ham~~|Large Hams~~]] that illustrate the difference between that trope and this quite well. While Hakumen is merely overly dramatic ''all the time'', [[Highly-Visible Ninja|Bang Shishigami]] apparently doesn't come with a volume knob that goes lower than 11 (oddly enough, [[Refuge in Audacity|it works for him]]). Consider the following, which could come from any match with Bang:

* Captain Cid in ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' has just two kinds of speaking: Shouting and yelling.

Line 535:

** Both voiced by [[Maurice LaMarche]], of course.

* From ''[[The Dover Boys]]'', we have Dan Backslide ([[Insistent Terminology|coward-bully-cad-and-thief]]).

* Princess Luna from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', as part of an outdated royal protocol, speaks in a deep, booming voice meant to "impress." It doesn't exactly go over well with the citizens of Ponyville.
