== Anime ==
Line 47:
* The intro songs to ''[[Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei]]'' are sung by the anime's voice cast -- except for [[Hiroshi Kamiya]], the voice of Zetsubou-sensei himself, whose lines are sung by a (very good) sound-alike.
** [[Hiroshi Kamiya]] ''does'' sing one of the ''ending'' themes himself though. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhiHq54Vg58&feature=BFa&list=PL264D77032AF42804&index=79 Very nicely, actually.]
* Averted in the [[FU NimationFUNimation]] dub of [[One Piece]], where the English voice actors sang the character song "Family" during a scene in Skypeia.
 
 
Line 77:
** Anita Ellis in ''[[Gilda]]''.
** Jo Ann Greer in ''[[Pal Joey]]'' (which also had Trudy Erwin as Kim Novak's singing voice).
* ''Thank Your Lucky Stars'', with much of the [[All -Star Cast]] consisting of dramatic actors [[Playing Against Type]], mostly averted this. The exceptions are Olivia de Havilland and a moment in the finale where [[Errol Flynn]] lip-synchs to a high tenor voice and [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] it:
{{quote| Oh, that voice is so divine!<br />
I'm sorry it isn't mine. }}
Line 223:
** In a similar example, [[Asian Store Owner|Mr. Hyunh]] of [[Hey Arnold]] has an inexplicable country singing voice, done by none other than Randy Travis.
* ''[[Sonic Underground]]'' had the three hedgehog protagonists (yes, even the girl) voiced by the same voice actor, [[Family Matters|Jaleel White]]. However, when it came to the [[Once an Episode]] singing segment, they were voiced by three separate Voice Actors: Sam Vincent for Sonic, Tyley Ross for Manic and Louise Vallance for Sonia.
** Funny when you consider that [[Hey ItsIt's That Guy|Sonic's singing voice is the same guy who voices]] [[Ed, Edd n Eddy|Double D]].
* In the ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' episode "Fanning the Flames", the song sung by [[Musical Assassin|Ember]] was by a woman named Robin Kimissel while her main actress is Tara Strong. Strangely, this is the only incident of that happening. Ember sings another song in another episode which as far as anyone knows, Tara Strong does. Robin Kimiseel only does one episode and is never heard from again.
** Kimissel was also the singing voice for [[Chalk Zone|Penny Sanchez]]. Rudy and Snap kept their regular voices.
Line 234:
* Taken to the point of parody on ''[[Phineas and Ferb]],'' where (British) Ferb will sing with completely different accents for reggae or rap songs. Most of the other characters sing with the voice actors' voices, however.
** And an In-World example from the same, during the "Summer Belongs to You" special, Phineas hires Clay Aiken for his voice for one musical number, and Ferb gets Chaka Khan. It is obviously [[Lampshaded]].
** Also [[Lampshaded]] with Linda, who admits that her "Lindana" career was done by lip-syncing. In real life Linda is voiced by Caroline Rhea while "Lindana" is performed by Olivia Olson, who also voices ([[Averted Trope|and sings for]]) [[Mad ScientistsScientist's Beautiful Daughter|Vanessa]].
* In [[The Rescuers Down Under]], the villain McLeach is voiced by George C. Scott but during the part where he sings his twisted version of "Home on the Range" his singing is done by Frank Welker.
* While [[Spongebob SquarePants]] often sings in his normal voice, on special occasions he shows off a fantastic singing voice that sounds nothing like him, with him being voiced by a different guest singer every time.
Line 242:
* In ''[[The Flintstones]]'', Wilma and Betty both had several different singing voices. None of them sounded anything like their speaking voices.
* Notably averted throughout ''[[Total Drama World Tour]]''. However, some autotuning was required to improve the quality of several characters, especially in "Come Fly With Us." The lack of this probably explains why Cody sings so little, despite lasting second-longest out of a team that was called to perform more than any other. Notably Ezekiel and Tyler, also voiced by Peter Oldring, don't sing much either. (Of course, you'll find plenty of fangirls who still like Cody's singing anyway...)
* All over the place in ''[[Quest for Camelot]]''; also a major case of [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: Kayley is voiced by [[Glee|Teri Schuester]] (speaking) and Andrea Corr (singing); Garrett is voiced by [[The Princess Bride (Film)|Westley]] (speaking) and Bryan White (singing); Kayley's mother is voiced by Jane Seymour (speaking) and [[Celine Dion]] (singing); King Arthur is voiced by [[Pierce Brosnan|James Bond]] (speaking) and [[Journey (Music)|Steve Perry]] (singing). (And I think we already know that [[Pierce Brosnan]] [[Mamma Mia|should never sing]].)
* Otto the gorilla from [[The Haunted World of El Superbeasto]] is voiced by [[Tom Kenny]]; his singing voice for his [[School House Rock]] parody song is done by Chris Hardwick.
* In the ''[[Animaniacs (Animation)|Animaniacs]]'' episode "Woodstock Slappy", the speaking voice of the [[The Who|Roger Daltrey]] caricature is voiced by [[Jim Cummings]]; his singing voice, however, is provided by [[Rob Paulsen]].
* The [[Stylistic Suck|"Powered by the Cheat"]] versions of the ''[[Homestar Runner]]'' characters. Their speaking voices are provided by Mike Chapman, but their singing voices are provided by Matt Chapman (or Missy Palmer in the case of [[The Smurfette Principle|Marzipan]]); in other words, the same as their normal versions.
* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' a lot of the characters get singing doubles, amusingly Sweetie Bell's double is the actress for her best friend Apple Bloom. (which leads to Sweetie becoming inexplicably [[American Accents|Southern]] whenever she sings)
** Strangely, Pinkie Pie has someone else singing for her but Fluttershy (who shares Pinkie's voice actress) does her own singing. Possibly Lampshaded in "Bridle Gossip" when Pinkie Pie asks Fluttershy to sing for her while she can't speak due to her tongue being swollen and Fluttershy has a man's voice.
** In another odd case, Twilight Sparkle, voiced by [[Tara Strong]], has a different singing voice, in spite of her normal voice actress being more than capable of singing herself (heck, she's even been the singing double to ''other'' actresses before!).
Line 254:
* In [[Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer]] The Movie (1998) the villianess Stormella is voiced by Whoopi Goldberg her singing voice is done by Carmen Twillie.
* In ''[[Strawberry Shortcake]]'s Berry Bitty Adventures'', Strawberry is voiced by Anna Cummer, but her songs are done by [[Sailor Moon|Tracey Moore]].
** Funnily enough, Shannon Chan-Kent, the singing voice for Pinkie Pie in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', voices Cherry Jam, a pop star, but her songs are done by Victoria Duffield.
