• Superman vs. Nick O'Teen: In the TV ads, the evil Nick O'Teen is voiced with a deep rasp. This is probably because the character is so strongly associated with cigarettes and smokes a lot.

• The Daichis - Earth's Defense Family: When Mamoru voiced by Akira Kamiya in Japanese becomes the Sorcer King, his Green and Mean persona is more emphazized with a raspy voice. It's based on a culmination on all of the players he killed in the Amber Crystal game. The english dub (voiced by John Murphy) gives Mamoru an early showing of the raspy voice the moment he says "This is good" when he found out he can get experience points for killing other players after killing some earlier.
• Dragon Ball Z:
  • Freeza is known in the Funimation dub for his strangely raspy, crone-ish voice, courtesy of Linda Young.
  • Christopher Sabat's Vegeta is also known for a very raspy voice, although this has lessened with time. In the Ocean Group dub, where Vegeta was voiced by Brian Drummond, his voice was even raspier, and fairly high-pitched to boot.
  • In both English dubs, Imperfect Cell has a raspy, unnatural voice to go along with his monstrous appearance. It gets more human as he gets closer to the Bishōnen Line.
• In Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Envy's English dubbed voice sounds raspy. The raspiness, to an extent, obscures Envy's gender. Gluttony's on the raspy side as well, though a bit more so early on.
• Naraku, the Big Bad of Inuyasha, has a nice raspy voice in the anime adaptation's English dub, courtesy of Paul Dobson.
• In the anime adaptation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency, Esidisi is voiced by Keiji Fujiwara, who is very well known for having a gruff, coarse voice.
• In the anime adaptation of Naruto, Gaara has a very raspy voice when he's first introduced. It gradually becomes less and less so after his Heel–Face Turn.
• Butch from Pokémon the Series has a very raspy voice. Cassidy and Butch were originally depicted as more intimidating versions of Jessie and James. Butch's deep voice contrasts with James' slightly high pitched and effeminate one.
• In the English dub of Transformers: Armada, Starscream was voiced with a rasp.
• Yu-Gi-Oh!: In the Japanese version, Dark Marik and Dark Bakura have much raspier voices than dominant Marik and good Bakura.
• Yu-Gi-Oh! GX:
  • Fubuki's voice becomes raspy when he is controlled by Darkness. When Darkness possesses Fujiwara, the effect is less apparent, since Fujiwara embraces Darkness's power more from the start. Naturally, Darkness himself has a very raspy voice.
  • Saiou's voice becomes raspier and his voice becomes rougher when the Light of Ruin enhances its control over him.
  • After Judai embraces the power of the Gentle Darkness and becomes the brutal and conquering Supreme King, his voiced becomes much raspier and colder. When he raises his voice, the rasp makes his loud voice scarier.

• Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): The author imagines that the voice of Ghidorah's vicious right head (Ni/Elder Brother), as perceived by those who can understand the Titans' Kaiju Talk, sounds like Steve Blum.
• Invader Zim: A Bad Thing Never Ends: Lex's voice is a dusty, raspy whisper that is very unnerving to hear.
• Jaune Arc, Lord of Hunger: One trait shared by all of Darth Nihilus's incarnations is his scratchy voice. Ever since he was a Jedi, Nihilus spoke with a raspier voice than his peers. Following his Eldritch Transformation, his voice became noticeably more hoarse due to his body being in a state of constant starvation. After becoming a Force ghost, he's described as sounding "gravely and distorted" whenever he chooses to speak. While possessing Jaune's body, those who can understand Nihilus's Black Speech hear him talk with his raspy-sounding voice layered on top of Jaune's own.

• The villain of the Heavy Metal segment "Harry Canyon", Rudnick, spoke in a raspy voice.
• Vincent from Over the Hedge has a very sinister husky voice being voiced by Nick Nolte.
• In Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie, Dr. Eggman/Robotnik's English dub voice is noticeably higher-pitched and raspier than his original Japanese voice.

Examples by creator:

• Michael Rooker any time he plays a bad guy, whether it's a serial killer or a racist survivor of the zombie apocalypse.
• Just about anybody Michael Wincott has ever played — Guy of Gisbourne in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Scroop from Treasure Planet, the warden Armand Dorleac from The Count of Monte Cristo (2002), Gant from Strange Days, et cetera.

Examples by work title:

• The Biff Tannen of 1985-A in Back to the Future Part II has a gravelly voice thanks to years of smoking and drinking as an insanely powerful Corrupt Corporate Executive.
• In Batman Returns, the Penguin speaks with a rather raspy tone.
• The Dark Knight Trilogy: Batman (not evil, but scary) has a very raspy effect throughout all three movies, while the third movie's villain, Bane, has a ragged voice due to a respiratory problem. Note that Batman's rasp is an invocation of the trope; Bruce Wayne has a normal, smooth voice, but he uses the raspy one deliberately to make him more intimidating as Batman.
• Death to Smoochy: Merv Green has the unmistakably raspy voice of Harvey Fierstein.
• The Killer's threat to Mark in Deep Red is delivered in a creepy raspy voice. When her true identity is revealed, her voice is normal.
• The Exorcist (1973): Pazuzu, the demon who possesses Regan's body, speaks in a low, raspy, elderly woman's voice.
• Stripe the leader of the gremlins from Gremlins (1984) speaks in a low raspy voice, his reincarnation Mohawk from the sequel has the same kind of voice.
• In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001), Lord Voldemort has a raspy voice when he appears on the back of Quirrel's head. Less so in the other films, though, as he's played by the deep-voiced Ralph Fiennes.
• The Hobbit Film Trilogy:
  • Benedict Cumberbatch's version of Sauron's voice is much raspier than Alan Howard's in the Lord of the Rings trilogy (below) was.
  • Also the Giant Spider population of Mirkwood, when Bilbo understands their language wearing the One Ring, in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
• It's a Wonderful Life: Mr. Potter, the richest and meanest man in all of Bedford Falls, speaks with the unmistakably nasally, guttural rasp of Lionel Barrymore. But then again, he is one of the most famous Evil Old Folks in the history of cinema.
• Balem Abrasax in Jupiter Ascending (when he's not shrieking).
• The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: Ginnarbrik, the Depraved Dwarf (of the fantasy variety) and The Dragon of the White Witch, speaks with a voice which is partially this, partially Creepy High-Pitched Voice, as we can tell when his Establishing Character Moment consists of him running after Edmund, tripping him up with a whip, then pinning him to the ground and threatening to kill him for speaking to the "Queen of Narnia".
• The Lord of the Rings Film Trilogy: Sméagol sounds like this after centuries of corruption by the One Ring. He's gained the alias Gollum because of the distinctive swallowing noise he makes.
• Solomon Lane in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, who is played by Sean Harris.
• The Naked and the Dead: Staff Sergeant Sam Croft has the unmistakably husky, powerful voice of Aldo Ray.
• A Nightmare on Elm Street: Freddy Krueger has a distinctive demonic-sounding raspy voice. This is achieved by electronically lowering the pitch of the (already raspy) voice of Robert Englund's to make him sound even more sinister.
• Played for Laughs in The Princess Bride when the albino in the dungeon starts out speaking in a raspy voice. Suddenly he clears his throat, and for the rest of the film, he speaks in a perfectly normal voice with a slight Cockney accent.
• Spang in The Quick Gun has a very gravelly voice.
• The Wheel King in Reign of Assassins talks in a raspy whisper, which at first sounds odd and somewhat out of place. But towards the end of the movie, it's revealed that he does it and wears a fake moustache to hide that he's a eunuch.
• The murderous fop Archibald Cunningham gains an evil rasp after the hero of Rob Roy chokes him almost to death. He is not happy about it.
• Riff Raff from The Rocky Horror Picture Show has a somewhat raspy voice to go with his creepy persona, though he's not exactly "evil" (at least less evil compared to Frank). The concept is Played for Laughs parodying the "creepy butler with a raspy voice" character from old cheesy horror/sci-fi films. His singing voice is also pretty raspy-sounding.
• ​Scream: Ghostface has a distinctly soft, raspy, Smoky Voice. Depending how angry they get, they can sound anything from almost a guttural snarl to a whisper. It's gotten raspier over time, too, as voice actor Roger Jackson has aged, though it started out a lot smoother.
• The Green Goblin from Spider-Man and Spider-Man: No Way Home speaks like this, and it helps to distinguish him from his Norman Osborn personality. Being portrayed by Willem Dafoe helps.
• Star Wars:
  • Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious is given a raspy voice, which he doesn't have while he poses as Chancellor Palpatine, though he takes it up full-time once the Empire gets formed.
  • And, of course, there's General Grievous, who has this combined with a cough.
• In Us (2019), Red, the only Tethered who can speak, does so in a choked rasp. The Twist Ending reveals why, as the actual Red, when knocking out Adelaide to take her place in the surface, strangled her and permanently damaged her vocal chords.
• In the final scene of The Witch, Black Phillip speaks in a high-pitched whisper.

• According to the Ars Goetia, the demon marquis Shax speaks with a voice "hoarse, but yet subtle", and may attempt to deceive those who summon him. However, if compelled to enter a magic triangle, his voice will change to a beautiful sound, and he will speak only the truth.
• The Bridge Kingdom Archives: Serin, the spymaster of king Silas Veliant of Maridrina, is called "Magpie" not without reason — his voice sounds very unpleasant, and he is the mastermind behind most of his king's backstabbing schemes.
• Discworld: Mr. Slant, Amoral Attorney supreme, is noted to have a particularly dry-sounding voice even for a zombie.
• Many supernatural baddies in The Dresden Files speak with a rasp.
  • Particularly, vampires of the Black Court are always noted as being raspy, on account of them being dried-out corpses.
  • They don't come much more evil than Nicodemus Archleone, and Harry gives a little tweak on Nick's neck noose to make sure he has the voice to go with it, although he discovers said after-effect some considerable time later:
    "That voice had once been smooth and flowing, but now there was a hint of a rasp to it, a roughness that wasn't there before, like silk gliding over old gravel."
• Justified in The First Law with Shivers, who undergoes a Face–Heel Turn in Best Served Cold (2009) after he's captured and tortured and one of his eyes is burnt out. His screaming in pain damaged his vocal cords, causing him to have a raspy voice from that point onward — so, the evil and the raspy voice have a common cause.
• Harry Potter: Vincent Crabbe is said to have a low rasp in the final book, just before he unleashes Hellfire in the castle. Fenrir Greyback is also described in the books as having a raspy bark of a voice, although it's less prominent in the films; ditto for Lord Voldemort, who is described this way in the books but is played by the deep-voiced Ralph Fiennes in the films.
• Johannes Cabal: The Red Queen, founder of a supernatural Legion of Doom, has a thin, cracked, whisper of a voice and hides her face with a veil, which causes rumours that she suffered some terrible disfigurement. Subverted with The Reveal that it's all an act: she's really Johannes's Arch-Enemy Lady Ninuka.
• The Silence of the Lambs: Hannibal Lecter's voice is often described as having a metallic rasp to it, likely due to long disuse during his imprisonment.

• Batman (1966): The Penguin has the unmistakable gravelly baritone of Burgess Meredith.
• BlackAdder: In "Money" from the second series, the evil Bishop of Bath and Wells has an extremely rasping voice, even when he gets his comeuppance.
• Doctor Who: So common among villains that in Mark Gatiss's 1999 Doctor Who Night sketch/minisode "The Web of Caves", a Sissy Villain in dreadful Raygun Gothic Space Clothes tries out several different voices in which to announce his evilness to the Doctor, including his natural one and a low booming one, eventually settling on an ominous rasp which he immediately comments sounds just right. Notable instances include:
  • The Master, the Doctor's arch-frenemy, particularly pronounced in the Peter Pratt and Gordon Tipple incarnations of the character. At the end of the Series 3 episode "Utopia", the Master also begins to speak in a low raspy voice after he remembers who he really is, to signify the switch from the harmless professor to the villainous Time Lord.
    Yana/The Master: I... am... The Master...
  • The Dalek voice effect, a ring modulator at 30Hz, also gives this kind of quality to their voices; this was spoofed in the "Cards Against Gallifrey" fanmade Cards Against Humanity expansion pack, with the card "Smoking 1000 cigarettes just so you can sound like a Dalek when you talk." A similar example where Robo-Speak created a raspy voice effect is in the case of the Mechanoids (one of the many short-lived attempts by the series to create the new Daleks in the wake of rights-holder Terry Nation threatening to withdraw the pepperpots themselves from the programme), whose voices have an odd stuttered effect that sounds like a hoarse whisper, possibly created by an early vocoder.
  • Evil Cripple Davros speaks like this, partly because it's an organic version of the Daleks' voices and partly to reflect his feeble physical state.
• Game of Thrones: Karl Tanner's scratchy tone is perfect for delivering threats.
• The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Adar is very calm and always speaks almost in a coarse whisper despite the visceral horror he's overseeing.
• Merlin (1998): The evil Queen Mab speaks with a low, raspy voice that's contrasted with the smoother tones of her twin sister The Lady of the Lake.
• Evil Cripple William Raines from The Pretender, who needs to wheel an oxygen tank around with him in order to breathe.
• Power Rangers: Rita Repulsa has an iconically raspy voice that makes her sound like she has throat cancer.
• The original Hank Henshaw in season 2 of Supergirl (2015) after he's been turned into a Cyborg.
• Xena: Warrior Princess: Shamaness Alti.

• Mephistopheles is portrayed with an incredible range in Beethoven's Last Night. He rasps only slightly in his introductory song ("Mephistopheles"), but by "Misery" he goes from Evil Sounds Deep to terrible noises and back again in a single line, rasping all the way.
• Gorillaz has Murdoc; Satanist, egomaniac, and all around abusive Jerkass, with a deep, raspy voice befitting a guy who started smoking as a preteen.
• Tom Waits: "Oily Night" from The Black Rider. It has a very deep and frightening voice repeat the title over and over again, while the music around him slowly but surely glows beserk. In the context of the play it is meant to be music for a Satanic ritual.
• Voltaire sings "The King of Villains / When I Said I Was Evil" in a raspier, more growly voice than usual. This is fitting because the song is intended to be his greatest Villain Song yet, and it talks a lot about the nature of evil itself.

• Every last Vachon had a raspy heel promo, but the raspiest was Mad Dog, who didn't even lighten up as he inevitably became a face by default. The most curious case was Luna, however, as she wasn't related to the others by blood but adopted by Butcher, suggesting it was a family secret more than an inherent trait.
• Exploited by Brian Pillman, who had a raspy voice due to multiple childhood throat polyp surgeries.
• Jeff G. Bailey normally has a somewhat high voice, but when he wants to threaten someone he talks slow and raspy.
• The Undertaker's natural raspy voice enhances his dark, fearsome character.
• Likewise, Bad Bosses Vince McMahon and his daughter Stephanie McMahon get very raspy when delivering their famous catchphrase "YOU'RE FIIIIRRRED".

• Our Miss Brooks: The titular convict in "Convict Threatens To Kill Mr. Conklin".

• Lampshaded with Sir Despard's Villainous Lament in Ruddigore:
  Sir Despard: Oh why am I husky and hoarse?
  Chorus: Ah, why?
  Sir Despard: It's the workings of conscience, of course.
  Chorus: Fie, fie!
  Sir Despard: And huskiness stands for remorse.
  Chorus: Oh, my!
  Sir Despard: At least it does so in my case!
• Poseidon in EPIC: The Musical is voiced by Steven Rodriguez, who gives him a raspy voice, one that is very good at sounding pissed off.

• The Ghost Host in The Haunted Mansion has a mild case of this (especially noticeable in his chuckle), combined with Evil Sounds Deep (all courtesy of Paul Frees).

• The Joker in the Batman: Arkham Series, which is expected as he's voiced by Mark Hamill. He gets even raspier in City, as he's suffering from an illness.
• In Beyond Good & Evil, the DomZ Priest has a rather raspy, diseased voice, as if he's slowly dying.
• Nagito Komaeda from Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair generally sounds pretty normal, but when he gets Laughing Mad... hoo boy. Think an asthmatic Joker in a dust storm and you're pretty close.
• Phantom the Giant Spider demon from Devil May Cry 1 has a very harsh, hard-to-hear voice, probably due to the fact that he's, well, a magma spider.
• Zoltun Kulle, betrayer of the Horadrim and Evil Sorcerer extraordinaire from the second act of Diablo III, is very fond of this.
• Donkey Kong Bananza
  • Void Kong has a raspy and somewhat high-pitched voice that complements his greedy, selfish personality and short stature.
  • Downplayed with King K. Rool. His voice is mostly his typical Evil Sounds Deep baritone, but he occasionally mixes in crocodilian hisses and snarls while talking.
• Corypheus, a DLC villain in Dragon Age II, has a very dry, raspy voice to help sell how ancient he is, having spent over a thousand years in stasis. He uses a much deeper voice when he returns as the next game's central villain.
• Elden Ring: Rykard's transformation into a giant snake seems to have mangled his vocal cords, he constantly struggles to get words out and constantly sounds like he's choking on something. Fittingly, he's also the most abhorrent of Radagon's children. In particular, his pronunciation of the word "together" has undergone Memetic Mutation.
• Liam O'Brien as Count Waltz in Eternal Sonata. It's the most noticeable when he's laughing.
• Far Cry:
  • Hoyt Volker, the South African slaver and Big Bad of Far Cry 3, has a harsh, raspy voice combined with a thick accent that makes him come across as nightmarishly malicious. It's most likely justified by the fact that he's a smoker — as he points out, on the Rook Islands, "Cancer won't be what kills you."
  • Far Cry Primal has two villains, Ull and Dah, from the Udam tribe, who speak with distinct rasps in their voices, though Dah more so than Ull. The rasps are possibly due to the fact that they, like the rest of the Udam, are suffering from "skull fire", contracted via their cannibalistic tendencies.
• Five Nights at Freddy's:
  • In his various voiced appearances, Serial Killer Springtrap speaks in a guttural, raspy voice. Justified, as he's undead, and used to sound better when he was alive.
  • Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach: The Daycare Attendant shifts between two personalities with the changing of the light. Moon speaks in a soft, raspy voice and is the more malevolent of the pair, as evident by its appearance and immediately threatening behavior towards Gregory upon switching out of Sun.
• Freelancer has ominous-growl and arrogant-sneer chatter voices that are only ever used by criminal and quasi-legal pilots.
• Hollow Knight: Troupe Master Grimm. While it's hard to tell how evil he actually is, one of his defining characteristics is his very dry and raspy voice.
• Kingdom Hearts:
  • The series Big Bad Master Xehanort is very raspy (at least when voiced by Leonard Nimoy and Christopher Lloyd).
  • In Kingdom Hearts III, Vanitas' voice is much raspier than in his previous appearances, where it was "just" a deeper, colder version of Sora's. This was a near universally despised change, to the point that the Remind DLC returned to how Vanitas had previously sounded.
• Fiddlesticks, the Ancient Fear of League of Legends, is a demon with a voice that doesn't just sound old, it sounds utterly destroyed, croaking out each line of dialogue it recites like it's in abject pain. When combined with the fact its dialogue is entirely comprised of the terrified last words and darkest thoughts of its previous victims, the effect is disturbing as hell. Its voice actor achieved this sound by breathing intensely inward while speaking, which is just as uncomfortable, potentially dangerous, and ugly as it sounds.
• While Ganondorf of The Legend of Zelda was introduced as having a more straightforward Evil Sounds Deep voice in Ocarina of Time, he is given a much raspier voice in The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess both because he's older and because he's basically undead in those games. This was amplified even further in Tears of the Kingdom, as he literally spends most of the game as a dehydrated mummified corpse, therefore making his voice the raspiest it's been.
• In Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Raiden's voice gets raspier, harsher, and more guttural the more he reverts to his Jack the Ripper persona.
• Mortal Kombat 11:
  • Bi-Han/Noob Saibot's voice is inhumanly raspy. This is most likely due to the fact that he's a wraith and his voice is altered to match his appearance. Players have drawn comparisons to Dr. Claw because of this.
  • There's more than just Bi-Han. Frost, Baraka, Mileena, and Kollector are all depicted with frightening raspy voices. In Frost's case, it's because she's a Cyber Lin Kuei with an electronically-altered voice. In Mileena's case, it's because she's half Tarkatan.
• Myrkul in Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer (voiced by S Scott Bullock). This is in perfect accord with his Forgotten Realms description from All There in the Manual, which described his voice as "a high whisper".
• Ravel Puzzlewell from Planescape: Torment (voiced by Flo Di Re). The in-game text describes the voice as if it's "trying to force itself through a thick layer of dust.''
• Road 96: Jarod, a taxi-driving serial killer, has a raspy voice that is slow, even and monotone except in his bursts of anger.
• Starting from Saints Row 2 and going on through 3 and 4, The Boss can be given an English accent, and both English voice actors, Charles Shaughnessy and Robin Atkin Downes, portray that version of Boss with a raspier voice than all the others. And that's not even getting into Steve Blum as Zombie Boss, who's practically unintelligible.
• The Japanese voice of Dr. Eggman, from Sonic the Hedgehog, is distinctly high-pitched and raspy.
• Spider-Man (PS4): Scorpion has a very raspy voice.
• Magikoopas in the Super Mario Bros. franchise, including Kamek, are given a high-pitched raspy voice for their Voice Grunting.
• The Warhammer 40,000 zig-zags with this in voiced works like Dawn of War or Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, ranging from the more articulate voices of Eliphas the Inheritor, Sindri Myr, and Chaos Lord Nemeroth to the comically Large Ham levels of raspiness of Bale, Warboss Grimskull, the Necron Lord of Kaurava, and Crull.

• One of the reasons that Elly from Blood Stain initially assumes that Dr. Vlad Stein, her new employer, is some form of Mad Scientist is his voice, which is described in-universe as sounding like "sandpaper polishing a rusty can". Subverted in that Dr. Stein is not evil in any way, but merely happens to have an intimidating voice.
• Ruby of Sticky Dilly Buns forces a lot of coughs and grunts when attempting to pass as sketchy street punk "Rudy", as here. Of course, this may largely be down to her attempting a male voice; she's not a trained or natural actor.

• Ultra Fast Pony subverts this. Nightmare Moon sounds like she gargles sand every day; however, when the "vaguely established magical friend power" cures her of evil and turns her back into Princess Luna, she sounds every bit as raspy. Apparently, that was just her normal voice all along.
• In Welcome Back, Potter, Voldemort speaks with a breathy cadence that sounds like a snake hissing.

• Arcane: In addition to his deep tenor, Silco also has a certain gravely quality to it. It is likely due to the chemicals he was drowned in.
• Batman: The Animated Series
  • Mark Hamill's Joker is a classic and iconic example, with the voice getting even raspier in later performances.
  • Two-Face has a raspy, gravelly voice, moreso than his former Harvey Dent personality.
• Betty Boop: Heeza Ratt from "She Wronged Him Right" is an Evil Debt Collector of the Dastardly Whiplash sort who has a very raspy, sinister voice. This is emphasized in the song from the short, when he sings "I'm waiting now for you to say... I love you more and more and more, dear!" in a much more majestic voice, then as he sings "You're looking younger every day", he reverts to his far harsher sounding voice and his body morphs into that of a snake before returning to his human form and singing in his previously majestic voice "You never were so sweet before, dear!"
• Codename: Kids Next Door: Inverted with Cree. It's her heroic sister, Numbuh 5, who's raspy, being based by Cree Summer on Scatman Crothers, while she herself speaks in Summer's normal voice.
• Baron Silas Greenback from Danger Mouse has an extremely raspy voice, bordering on Vader Breath.
• Rasp in Dino-Riders has a, well, raspy voice. And he's evil.
• Final Space: The Lord Commander has a very raspy voice, and he's a thoroughly vile little monster of a despot and god-wannabe who has caused a lot of suffering. His right hand in Season 1, Viro, also has a hoarse voice and is a cruel, repulsive being himself. But both of them pale next to Invictus: an omnicidal and sadistic Eldritch Abomination who wants to consume all life and enjoys every second that it's making others suffer, Invictus has such a guttural and low voice that one can only imagine how much "Gollum juice" was required to keep up those vocals, making the fact that it's a female voice actor providing the vocals all the more impressive.
• G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero: Cobra Commander has a high, raspy voice that sounds near-identical to Starscream's on the account of having the same voice actor.
• Invincible (2021): Steven Yeun voices a couple of the evil alternate Invincibles summoned by Angstrom, namely "Capevincible" and "Viltrumincible", with slightly hoarser tones than the main Invincible's voice.
• Jackie Chan Adventures: Many of the demons and monsters have this or Evil Sounds Deep, or both. Humans who have been possessed by a demon or turned into one usually get their voices changed to match.
• At first in the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode "Twilight's Kingdom Part 1", Lord Tirek's voice is frail and old, but he later gains a deep, booming voice as he returns to his original power.
• PB&J Otter Flick Duck isn't all that bad a character, being more mischievous and tempted to sometimes do bad things, but he does have the raspiest voice in the cast and can be antagonistic, particularly in Season 1 before his Character Development.
• Played for Laughs with Mr. Green in an episode of The Powerpuff Girls (1998), where pretty much the same joke as the one in The Princess Bride is used to introduce him.
  • Played straight with several villains such as Mojo Jojo, Arturo of the Gangreen Gang, and HIM when he switches to anger mode.
• The Foot Lieutenant in Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has a noticeably raspy voice.
• Samurai Jack has the central villain Aku. Of course, guttural growliness is par for the course with any character voiced by the late great Mako Iwamatsu.
• Played for laughs in an episode of South Park, in which one of Satan's minions is telling a corrupt politician what to say and has to remind the politician not to repeat the raspy hisses that punctuate his phrases.
• Krang in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) is a classic raspy, hissing Big Bad next to his deep-voiced Dragon Shredder.
• Transformers:
  • Megatron and Starscream in The Transformers had raspy voices, with Megatron's being deeper and Starscream's being more shrill and high-pitched.
  • Beast Wars has this as a fairly common trait for villainous voices, sported by Tarantulas, Terrorsaur, and Rampage; even Dinobot, who undergoes a Heel–Face Turn about fifteen minutes into the series, sounds like he has a sore throat most of the time. Averted with Megatron, however, who actually has a fairly clear, if deep, voice.
  • Transformers: Prime: The one time he does speak, Soundwave's voice is notably raspier than the original's, despite having the same voice actor. This is due to the lack of the heavy vocoder effect that originally masked the raspiness of Frank Welker's perfomance.
• Wakfu: Nox has a slightly raspy-sounding voice when he isn't speaking in a low tone.
• Kip O'Donnell (voiced by Keith Szarabajka) in The Wild Thornberrys. In fact, just insert any Keith S. performance here. The man has evil coming out of his bottom.

• Count Binface: Not that the Count is evil — well, no more so than most politicians or space warriors — but the voice emerging through that mask has a definite edge to it.
