== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In episode 23 of ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Cardcaptor Sakura]]'', the SONG card copies Tomoyo's singing-voice, and in order to capture it, she has to sing a duet with it, to perfection. Naturally, she does so, and it actually ''does'' sound quite beautiful...
* In one episode of ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'', the Black Beauty Sisters duplicate themselves and sing both of their songs at once.
* The ''[[Lucky Star]]'' ending theme collection album has Konata singing a full version of "Sore ga Ai Deshou", the opening theme from ''[[Full Metal Panic|Fumoffu]]''. First she imitates the original version and then she invites herself to sing a duet. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYemOkyAliQ "Sugoi ne, atashi?"]
Line 16:
** In a related occasion, the ''Character Christmas'' song is performed in character by all major anime voice actors, which includes both Megumi Hayashibara and Kappei Yamaguchi. Even Akane wonders how this is possible -- Ranma waves it off saying that it's a dream.
* One of the ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'' [[Image Song|Image Songs]] qualify as this -- Megumi Urawa sings as both Iori and Armadimon for "Mirai e no Message".
** If this qualifies, then the [[Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini|Sonozaki Twins']] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuqP_O_3IJg image] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0p4jTZKyI0 songs] qualify as well, [[Talking to Himself|for obvious reasons]]
* Melfina sings a song that resembles one of the ending credits songs in one of the later episodes of [[Outlaw Star]] in a moment to herself.
* In [[Mai Hi ME-HiME]] Fumi and Mashiro's character song is a duet with both parts sung by [[Yukana]] since she's the one who voices [[Talking to Herself|both characters]]. No such opportunities in [[Mai -Otome]] since Fumi's only in the back story.
 
== [[Film]] ==
Line 33:
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Maskerade|Maskerade]]'', Agnes gets hired by the Ankh-Morpork Opera House because she can sing in chorus. With herself. Among other prodigious vocal talents.
** 'Prodigious'... Tee hee. [[Stealth Pun|I see what you did there.]]
* In David Eddings's ''[[Polgara The Sorceress]]'', a young Polgara sings not just a duet, but a complete choir, all by herself - using magic to replicate her voice multiple times. The purpose is, effectively, to scare away a herd of ardent admirers that she's outgrown, in a manner both impressive and stylish.
Line 48:
 
== [[Theater]] ==
* "Guido's Song" in ''[[Nine (Theatretheatre)|Nine]]'' has the protagonist wishing for, among other things, "another me to travel along with myself/I would even like to be able to sing a duet with myself." He then proceeds to do just that, with moderate success.
* Almost any stage musical in which there's more than one actor playing a single character (usually [[Timeshifted Actor|as a young child and as an adult]]) will invoke this trope at some point:
** ''Nine''
Line 56:
* ''[[Shrek]] the Musical'' has Fiona singing a solo ''trio''.
* In the musical ''[[Floyd Collins]]'', the titular character is in a cave and sings a round with his own echoes. Not magical, but still pretty awesome.
* "Hey There" from the musical ''[[The Pajama Game (Theatre)|The Pajama Game]]''. Sid uses a dictaphone to provide his second voice.
* The Confrontation, from ''[[wikipedia:Jekyll & Hyde chr(28)musicalchr(29)|Jekyll and Hyde]]''.
** Smeagol and Gollum sing at least one of their arguments in the musical version of "The Lord of the Rings."
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Final Fantasy X 2 (Video Game)|Final Fantasy X 2]]'', during the 'Yunapalooza' concert, Yuna uses the Songstress dressphere to sing and unintentionally summons forth Lenne, the long dead summoner and Songstress whose spirit was still bound within the sphere. Through Yuna, they sing a duet together, though they are technically different people.
* Happens in ''[[The Idolmaster (Videovideo Gamegame)|The Idolmaster]]'' when you put both Ami and Mami on stage with both twins being played by Asami Shimoda. Example [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb8Pb6rqGhg here.]
 
== [[Web Original]] ==
Line 69:
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* On ''[[The Brak Show (Animation)|The Brak Show]]'', Brak posed as a girl to sing a duet with himself in one episode.
* In an episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'', Brian does a one-man impression of a barbershop quartet.
** Don't you mean a one-dog impression?
* In [[Total Drama Island (Animation)|Total Drama World Tour]] during the song [[Villain Song|'This Is How We Will End It']] Alejandro sings a duet with a puppet version of himself being controlled by himself
* In the ''[[Daria]]'' episode, "Daria!", Quinn sings a duet with herself in the mirror about what she should wear to work. This being Quinn, her reflection tells her to just wear anything, she'll still look great.
** And, like the ''Mary Poppins'' example above, the duet with Quinn and Helen also counts in the "in production" sense, as the two share a voice actress.
* In the Season Two Finale of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', {{spoiler|Princess Cadence}} gets a literal example when {{spoiler|she gets a duet with her evil doppelganger, who is actually the Queen of the Changelings impersonating her.}}
