== Films -- Live Action ==
* Inverted in ''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 its averted in the books and is most likely for the audience's benefit since in ''[[Harry Potter
* Happens in [[The Movie]] of ''[[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|Hand Waved]] by the fact that the coma patient was [[All There in the Manual|his twin brother.]]}}
Line 101:
** {{spoiler|It's revealed that in 2, Ocelot was legitimately possessed by Liquid, hence adopting Cam Clarke's voice. However, in 4, Ocelot was under self-hypnosis to believe he was Liquid (he replaced Liquid's arm with a prosthetic one so Liquid couldn't possess him). Hence he used Patrick Zimmerman's voice, as he was Ocelot pretending to be Liquid.}}
* Averted and played straight in ''[[Nicktoons Unite!|Nicktoons: Globs of Doom]]'' whenever [[Big Bad]] Globulous Maximus speaks through [[SpongeBob SquarePants]]. First, it's merely SpongeBob acting evil; the second time, we start with evil SpongeBob who switches to Globulous' voice ''mid-sentence'' (which is the cue needed for [[Jimmy Neutron]] to note that [[Captain Obvious|he's speaking through him]] and for [[Invader Zim]] to complain about Globulous being a [[Large Ham|larger ham]] than him. Yep.) and after that, it's pretty much a hammy Dee Bradley Baker "voicing" the yellow guy.
* Averted in the video game adaptation of ''[[
* In response to the ninth ''Pokémon'' movie example above, strangely averted in ''[[Super Smash Bros|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' with Manaphy's Heart Swap attack when it comes out of a Poke Ball. Of course, making Zelda sound like Donkey Kong and vice versa would be a little weird, in retrospect.
* When Momohime is being controlled by Jinkuro in ''[[Muramasa: The Demon Blade]]'' she still uses her own voice actor, but at a noticeably lower register. [[Japanese Pronouns|She also switches pronoun use to a pronoun commonly used by old men.]]
Line 107:
* Both applied and averted in season 3 of Telltale's [[Sam and Max]] series, ''The Devil's Playhouse''. In episode 3, ''They Stole Max's Brain!'', {{spoiler|Sammun-Mak keeps his own voice when Sam places his brain in Max's body, while Max retains his own voice as a brain in a jar.}} However, in episode 5, ''The City That Dares Not Sleep'', {{spoiler|When Grandpa Stinky and one of General Skun-ka'pe's minions swap brains toward the end of the episode, their voices (as well as Grandpa Stinky's Scottish accent) remain with their original bodies.}}
** Also in Season 2, when Sam and Max swap bodies. Then there is the Monster, which can hold 2 souls simultaneously, switching between voices as (t)he(y) talk(s). And let's not forget about the demons, who emulate the possessed's voice - but sometimes fail.
* In ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'', any character that gets transformed into a monster by the Dark Sun retains their original voice.
* It's hard to tell whether this applies to ''[[Prototype (video game)|Prototype]]'', since we don't know exactly how the main character's shapeshifting works. He can mimic other people's voices in cutscenes, but in gameplay, he always makes the same grunts regardless of who he's impersonating. (From a [[Doylist]] perspective, the explanation is that they didn't bother to program alternate grunts for him; a [[Watsonian]] one could be that Alex himself doesn't bother messing around with his vocal cords for every single form he ever takes.)
