* The Cylons in the 1978 original ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic (TV)|Battlestar Galactica Classic]]'' series spoke this way (human actors run through a synthesizer).
* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'': [[The BBC]] originally considered doing this for the Daleks, but with 1963 technology, they could have done only 45 seconds of dialogue this way, so they used a human voices filtered through a ring modulator.
** It's actually pretty easy to duplicate the Dalek voices. Record your voice with Dalek speech-patterns, over-amplify it to add clipping distortions(sometimes people, including the producers back in the day, often tend to forget this, oddly enough), then run the results through a ring modulator plugin using 20-40Hz for the frequency of the modulation.
** The BBC did the first Cyberman voices by actually building a mockup of the human vocal system, running a stream of air through it, and adjusting it to produce the sounds that made up the speech for the Cybermen. Later versions simply had an actor's voice run through a ring modulator with a different setting to what was used for the Daleks.
