== Films -- Live Action ==
* Inverted in ''[[Face Off|Face/Off]]''. The swapped guys have the voices of the actors who play them- but not before and after...
* Happens on and off in the ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]]'' films, via the Polyjuice Potion, though it's averted in the books and is most likely for the audience's benefit since in ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Chamber of Secrets (novel)|Harry Potter and Thethe Chamber of Secrets]]'', Draco never catches on to Harry and Ron as Crabbe and Goyle, and in ''Deathly Hallows'', when the potion is used, a disguised Ron briefly spoke in the voice of the person he was impersonating until he realized he was talking to Harry. In the fourth film, this is definitely confirmed when {{spoiler|Mad-Eye Moody}} is definitely ''not'' voiced by {{spoiler|David Tennant}}, because this wasn't revealed until after {{spoiler|he was caught with Moody locked up in a chest}}.
* Happens in [[The Movie]] of ''[[Scooby-Doo (film)|Scooby-Doo]]'' when the cast's souls were trying to find their original bodies.
* Happens at the end of ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men: The Last Stand]]'' {{spoiler|after the credits when Prof. X reappears in the body of the mindless coma patient. It's [[Hand Wave]]d by the fact that the coma patient was [[All There in the Manual|his twin brother.]]}}
Line 118:
** The reason behind the first change is because the writers couldn't decide if Burnie (Church's VA) would pretend to be the character he was possessing or if they would have the possessed character's VA do their voice different or try to sound like Church. Ultimately Burnie decided that because his Donut impression sounded too much like another character, that they would do away with it and just have Church's voice.
** Another curious example, Church's second robot body is seen only speaking French, yet Church speaks English in his normal voice when inhabiting it, inverting the Lopez example.
* ''[[RWBY]]'':
** Deliberately averted with Ozpin and Oscar in Volume 5. According to the writers' V5 commentary track, the production team felt that having Shannon McCormick's Ozpin voice coming out of Oscar's mouth would have been ridiculous. Instead, they lucked out in that Aaron Dismuke, Oscar's voice actor, could ''perfectly'' mimic Ozpin's cadence and delivery in Oscar's voice. Even so, the aversion wasn't ''total'' -- several times ''both'' performers' voices were carefully blended together for special moments.
** Played straight four volumes later: When the Curious Cat [[Demonic Possession|possesses]] [[Cute Mute]] villain Neo in V9E8, he still speaks with his own voice.
 
== Western Animation ==
* Given that [[Freaky Friday Flip]] is one of many stock [[Plots]] in western animation, it might be easier to list the shows that avert or avoid this trope.
* Played straight and averted in ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron]]''. When Jimmy and Cindy switches bodies, the "brains" retains their voices, but when Jimmy creates imperfect clones of himself, each has a different voice related to their personalities.
* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' has this happen whenever someone is possessed, leading at least twice to one character arguing with themselves with two distinct voices.
