* Several characters from the ''[[Discworld]]'' books have this ability:
** TomJon from ''[[Discworld/Wyrd Sisters|Wyrd Sisters]]'' has this as a result of the three witches's blessings; Nanny Ogg blessed him that he would "always remember the words", a handy ability for the adopted son of an actor.
** Agnes Nitt from ''[[Discworld/Maskerade|Maskerade]]'' and ''[[Discworld/Carpe Jugulum|Carpe Jugulum]]'' has such amazing vocal ability that she can do this. The Vampires in ''[[Discworld/Carpe Jugulum|Carpe Jugulum]]'' also demonstrate this ability when they're trying to coerce Magrat to unlock the door.
** [[Discworld/Mort|Mort]] when he was beginning to slip into Death's role, and his daughter Susan when she feels like it, have the ability to {{small-caps| speak like Death}}.
* [[Wayside School]]'s substitute teacher Mr. Gorf steals the kids's voices through his third nostril. He's able to deceive numerous parents, but he gets found out by the lunch lady when he says something uncharacteristically nice using a meaner student's voice.
* ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'': Tyson, like all cyclopes, can mimic voices and even entire conversations verbatim. It's considered incredibly creepy, so he doesn't use it that frequently.
