Some people are persuasive, some people have even more power than that. Whatever they say, you have to do it. No escape clause, their voice instills immediate obedience. They can tell you to stand on one foot and quack like a duck, to betray your loved one, or to kill yourself, or to just die. If the speaker is of a sadistic turn of mind, they may come up with a more creative Fate Worse than Death to put you through. The power is most often tied to the voice of the character, but there are a few variations, such as the Jedi Mind Trick. A frequent cause of Brainwashed, Brainwashed and Crazy and creepy Power Perversion Potential. Note that this isn't just about voices that are persuasive. This is about orders that one literally cannot disobey, usually for some supernatural reason. A frequent drawback to this power, however, is that it's subject to Literal Mindedness. That is, the listener does what the compeller says, not necessarily what they want. Hopefully the compeller remembers to figure out a little about the person, or Intrinsic Vows may stop this from working... See also Siren Song, a trope about sirens and other supernatural creatures using their beautiful voices to lure people into danger. Also compare Charm Person. May overlap with Enslaved Tongue when forced to respond truthfully. Examples |

Worm Canary is a woman whose superpower makes her an exceptional singer whose voice makes people suggestible. She hates this part of her power and prefer it for the amazing singing voice it grants her as a side-effect. She gets into trouble when she angrily tells an ex-boyfriend to go screw himself... and he kills himself in attempting to obey that anatomically impossible order. Valefor has a similar power, though he needs line-of-sight with his victims to issue orders. His control is also far more in-depth then Canary's — whereas the latter's power primarily manifests as blunt verbal commands, Valefor can go as far as erasing memories and manipulating emotions if he gets the wording right. Taylor gets around it by manipulating maggots to swarm into his eyes and blind him. Valefor makes a return in the sequel, Ward, where it's revealed that his power altered itself in the interim: he no longer needs eye contact, and can command anybody who is able to hear his voice. Victoria gets around his commands by creatively interpreting them so as to be as unhelpful as possible. |

Due to training received both from Luke and Leia, Rey is much better at using mind tricks in The Rise of Skywalker, convincing a couple Stormtroopers that it was ok that she, Poe, and Finn were on a Star Destroyer. Poe is unnerved seeing Rey use the trick and asks Finn if Rey does that to them. | |

The Incognito Princess from Sunless Skies is this crossed with Brown Note Being. When she asks someone to do something, they'll do it, even if it's physically impossible. At one point she suggests a group of poets try their hand at a Starfish Language impossible to achieve with the human tongue, which results in their tongues combusting. They don’t stop trying even as they incinerate. | |

Wonder Woman (1987): Medusa can compel people to look at her by demanding that they do even if they know better, which is bad because it makes her victims vulnerable to her other more infamous power, which only works through eye contact. It only works if she uses a language her target can understand however, which means the first bit of English she requests knowledge of is the phrase "Look at me". | |

In the Quarters series one of the responsibilities of the bards of the Kingdom of Shkoder is acting as interrogators for law enforcement, since they have the ability to magically compel people to tell the truth regardless of their preference. This becomes a major plot point of Sing the Four Quarters when Pjerin, the Duc of Ohrid, is implicated as a traitor and admits to it under bardic questioning, but otherwise still insists on his innocence. Almost nobody who knows him, up to and including King Theron, believes him capable of treason, and Annice eventually discovers that an operative of the neighboring kingdom Cemandia has managed to subvert bardic questioning in Pjerin with what amounts to a post-hypnotic suggestion. | |

Sa Shunki in The Story of Saiunkoku has this power. Because of the potential for tragedy if her power was used carelessly or by accident, Shunki's grandmother Hyou Eiki made her promise that she would only use her power for the sake of the man she loves, Sa Kokujun. Eiki then sealed Shunki's voice, rendering her a Cute Mute for her initial appearances until the time came to use her power on Kokujun's behalf. | |

Emmy, from Demo, is a slightly different example. She doesn't have any control over it: If she tells you to do something, you do it, no matter what. She doesn't talk much. Especially not after she made her mother brain dead. At the end of the story, she tells some guys who are hassling her to "drop dead," and is forced to go on the run. | |

X-Men: This power is one that Siryn has that her father Banshee does not. Mesmero is a mutant who had the psionic ability to mentally control the minds of others. He could hypnotize people into doing what he wanted them to do, and alter their minds with false personalities and memories. He could also make them see him as a different person. Hijack in Uncanny X-Men can control machines with verbal commands. He discovered it by accident, which means it's not very clear how he turns his power "on" or "off". Cable once dealt with an arc villain Randall Shire, an Australian mutant described as a "psychomorph" who could change people's emotions to match what he told them; talking about sad things made them sad and happy things made them happy. This made him an excellent actor and entertainer in his job as a circus clown before possession by an alien entity amplified his powers to totally enslave anyone who heard him directly. Lorelei can also do this. In the original comics, she's a mutate; in Ultimate X-Men (2001), she's a mutant. |

Most of the driving problems in Enlightenments boil down to the Queen of the Castle in the Mist being able to control Wander with a Compelling Voice. He can resist it to a certain extent if he's far away from her, suffering from debilitating headaches and nausea for his efforts, but the closer he is to her the less able he is to resist. If she's a few feet away, he can't even change his expression in reaction to things he does not want to do. | |

In The Invisible Library, the librarians have the Language, which they mainly use to tell locks to open and the like, but also can use on humans. The effect on humans is more comparable to Charm Person, though, as it doesn't work without fail. The Fair Folk, on the other hand, seem to be able to get people to do pretty much everything, no matter how much against their nature it is, by using their version of compelling voice. | |

Aside from hearing Smaug makes Bilbo take off the Ring without realizing it (though the Ring itself might have helped Smaug's words), at more than one point, Bilbo is visibly trying to shake Smaug's words out of his head. | |

Justice League of America: Max Lord was originally given the ability to subtly influence minds by an alien "gene bomb" that activated latent powers. This has since become full-on mind control able to create illusions powerful enough to make Superman kill on command. In Justice League: Generation Lost, with mechanical assistance (including blood transfusions, since he has a nosebleed whenever he uses his powers), he mindwipes the entire world into forgetting he even existed. | |

The Sun Sword has this power appear as one of several inborn gifts. In the North, those who have it often become bards, though not all bards have the gift. In the South, the power to compel other men is viewed with horror and those with the power are executed. Three protagonists have it, and all are Southern; the two women conceal it carefully, and the third lives in the North as a bard and is celebrated for it. The bard-born can be so powerful that they can command those not normally capable of obeying. When a woman is struggling with a breach birth Diora orders the baby to turn — and it does. This is also a wrenching decision that puts her life in the women's hands, as now they know a secret that can get her killed. |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has the Asgardian woman Lorelei, whose voice can command nearly any man. If a man has the will to resist her voice, she can still establish control through a physical touch, which no one has been able to resist. Her voice has no effect on women. | |

In the Miraculous Ladybug fanfic Occam's Razor, this turns out to be the secret behind Lila's infamous lies: She is an akuma with the power to make anyone believe anything, unless it is something that they have direct and irrefutable knowledge of (ie, claiming to be Ladybug's best friend to Ladybug's civilian identity). The real twist is that Lila was always an akuma. She is the akumatized form of a shy and anxious girl named Vera. When Marinette frees her, she wakes up missing six months of memories and wondering why all these strange people are calling her Lila. | |

Naruto: Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan ability is Kotoamatsukami, which turns the person targeted into a puppet completely under his control. However, each eye can only do this once every decade. Shisui is dead in the present, but he managed to give his left eye to Itachi, who put it inside his crow, which he shoved down Naruto's throat (long story), something that comes in handy during the Ninja World arc. Meanwhile, his right eye was collected by Danzo Shimura, who used it to make the samurai Mifune nominate him as leader of the Ninja Alliance. Shortly after, Danzo dies, taking the right eye with him, while Itachi later incinerates the crow after enacting his plan, ensuring that no one can use the ability ever again. At some point after the war, Shikamaru a ronin named Gengo who has this power. By focusing chakra onto his vocal cords and tongue, Gengo could place anyone under his genjutsu without them realizing it. |

This is a power Named in A Practical Guide to Evil can learn, although villains are more likely to use it than heroes. It's applications are broad and strong users can even use it to command two hundred people at once or order somebody to kill themselves.

Wonder Woman: Sensation Comics: Mona Menise gains a low level ability to get people to want to do what she says after purchasing the siren bangle. Wonder Woman 600: Ivo's Cyber-Sirens can get men to blindly follow their orders. Wonder Woman (1987): Medusa can compel people to look at her by demanding that they do even if they know better, which is bad because it makes her victims vulnerable to her other more infamous power, which only works through eye contact. It only works if she uses a language her target can understand however, which means the first bit of English she requests knowledge of is the phrase "Look at me". In The New 52 series when Cassandra gave orders with the voice she was born with those who heard her were compelled to obey. After she used this power to order forty people to murder each other Lennox destroyed her voice box. |

In Attack on Titan, the mysterious Coordinate grants this ability to those that possess it. This allows Eren to take control over a horde of Titans, clumsily sending them after designated targets in a Zerg Rush. The ability can only truly be used by those from the royal bloodline, allowing them to control not only Titans but any member of the Eldian race. The previous owner, Frieda Reiss, would use it to erase her sister's memories of her visits. The First King of the Walls used it to erase the memories of the people, creating false memories of the Titans devouring the rest of humanity. The Beast Titan also demonstrates a similar ability, controlling Titans with its roars or with verbal commands. This is because Zeke has royal blood, and can therefore use his voice to control anyone injected with his spinal fluid. | |

In the Deverry Cycle, the more powerful practitioners of dweomer can do anything from getting soldiers to leave their livestock alone, to commanding an assassination, or prodding a region into or out of war. It depends on whether the user follows the Light or the Dark. Primarily limited by the individual's power and that having too many people influenced or prolonging the influence too long can have nasty effects for caster and the affected person. | |

Darkest Powers very horrifyingly showcases the power of necromancy, in which spirits are forced back into their rotting corpses. Even worse, they have no choice but to obey whoever it is that called them back unquestioningly. It's a mortal fear of most ghosts to be brought back by an Ax-Crazy necromancer and used as part of an undead army and released only when their usefulness has run out. Luckily, necromancers with that kind of power are implied to be very rare. | |

Vampires have this power in Blood Ties (2007). Henry uses it frequently, although it doesn't work on Vicky, for some reason. His eyes go black while he's doing it, so maybe the power is related to vision, and Vicky is known for her horrible eyesight (the reason she quit the force). Given that he spends every day with a different girl for both sexual pleasure and blood (they probably figure he's being kinky), he may be using his ability to charm them. | |

SCP Foundation This is the main power of Dr. Clef's SCP-001, the Eden's Gatekeeper. Anyone who hears his voice automatically obeys his command, usually an order to leave at once and forget any sight of it. Disobeying it is absolutely impossible. Also, SCP-661 has this power. It still doesn't stop personnel from treating him like crap. SCP-336 used to have this power on men before the mass edit. Now her voice has the effect on men of causing their flesh to form into a Mix-and-Match Critter while they sleep. |

Whateley Universe. This is a standard superpower in the setting, usually as a part of a larger 'Siren' powerset (as those who have it are almost Always Female) which combines it with other sound or voice related abilities. Different Sirens have differing degrees of each. Some of the stories featuring Vox (who was Phase's girlfriend in their first year at the school) give more specifics on the power and it's limitations. Biggest one? It quickly wears off, and the victims remember the effect. Also, the Siren can't order them to forget. |

In the movie Love Potion Number Nine, there was an Applied Phlebotinum (not the no. 9 potion, but the love potion no. 8) which gave to the one who drank it a similar ability, but in the more sexual/seductive sense (and only over people attracted to their sex, on people attracted to the opposite sex of the user it had an opposite effect). However, the user of the potion lacks control: where the main male lead ends in a scene chased by mob of aroused women, the female lead puts her mark under the assumption she just likes to do the "mute game", using Hand Signals and her boyfriend as a Translator Buddy, well knowing that, if she were to speak in public while under the effect of the potion no. 8, she'd stir a major ruckus with a simple word. | |

Similarly, Sgt Mike Cosgrove from Freakazoid! is able to tell anyone, "Hey! Cut it out!" Besides stopping Freakazoid, a worthy achievement in itself, it has also stopped Yakko, Wakko and Dot, who are incarnations of chaos. The only character this doesn't work on was an expy of Cthulhu named Vorn. Cosgrove just pissed him off. |

Robin (1993): After she came back wrong Darla Aquista was able to compel people to believe her and do things for her. The strength of this ability is never fully examined and she was unable to compel Tim to run off and start a new life with her though that may be because he'd been turning down her advances for months before she gained the ability. | |

In The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World, when the four are approaching the White Tower with a white key to let them in, they're ambushed by a trio of sorcerers who cast the equivalent of Dominate Person on them and order the four to stand still and Paul to give them the white key. Unfortunately for the sorcerers, it turns out to be a very convenient time to remind the reader that Paul is immune to mind control, which we found out during the climax of With Strings Attached. And George surprises everyone by starting to shake off the effects himself. | |

Tsar Mirnatius in Spinning Silver has this as one of his demon-granted powers. He uses it mostly to keep his advisors from haranging him over how to manage the country, though in his narrative sections he mentions that it's easier to use it on some people than others (he has one formidable great-aunt who needs a lot of magic to compel). Irina can No-Sell it because she has Staryk blood and jewelry. She uses the opportunity to point out that he's been relying on it too much and that he's not exactly safe from a distant arrow or a hidden assassin. | |

Skyrim The Imperial races' Voice of the Emperor power calms nearby opponents. Its not entirely guaranteed, but useful in a pinch — especially at lower levels. It is a skill attributed to Tiber Septim. This ability to pacify people is noticeably similar to the effects of several Dragon Shouts, with it theorized that the technique was originally derived from the Thu'um, modified by Septim to allow those not trained in the Voice to use it. The "Bend Will" shout introduced in the Dragonborn DLC; it has the ability to turn enemies into allies, and it can even subjugate a dragon and force it to become your steed. |

Jessica Jones: Kilgrave simply has to give an instruction, and his subjects are immediately compelled to obey. Those receiving his orders cannot directly invoke Exact Words, they'll try to obey the command in the spirit it was given — though Jessica finds that she can break someone out of Kilgrave's control by convincing them that they have technically fulfilled his orders.note For example, Kilgrave tells Trish to "put a bullet in your skull, Patsy!" Not having a loaded gun, Trish tries to physically force a bullet into her skull — but Jessica forces Trish's mouth open and pops a bullet in, then tells her that a bullet is now in her head, ending the compulsion. | |

Persona 4: Very early of the game, the protagonist decided to try a phenomenon called "Midnight Channel", by staying awake at the midnight during foggy rains and staring into the TV. All of the sudden, there's this ominous voice giving him headaches and ordering him to put his hand on the TV. The protagonist does so and finds out that he can get his whole body inside the TV. He ends up nearly getting his head 'eaten' by the TV, and things just get weirder from there. And of course, parodied in the Hiimdaisy webcomics: |

One arc in JLA (1997) had the team framed for the manslaughter of thousands, with their belief in each of their culpability being pushed by a "mnemonic conjurer" known as The Mouth. She could remotely whisper into each of their ears the idea that the accident was each of their individual faults and that their best option was to separate from the others and go on the run. This scheme falls apart because they each have their own duration under its effects and their own responses to the narrative being pushed in their minds, some Spotting the Thread. | |

New Gods: In the original Jack Kirby comics, this was the power of the Anti-Life Equation, with a bit of Brown Note on the side. Glorious Godfrey, one of the minions of Darkseid, has this as his main power. In his original appearances he poses as an evangelist and uses his powers to convince people to follow Darkseid, turning them into mindless Mooks called Justifiers who constantly chant "Anti-Life justifies my hate!". Later, in the Crisis Crossover event Legends (DC Comics), he poses as a psychiatrist and pundit and used his powers to turn a large portion of the United States against superheroes. Godfrey's sweet sister Amazing Grace has the same powers, but to a lesser degree. More than enough to sucker an amnesiac Superman, though. Issue eight of The Forever People featured a villain named Billion Dollar Bates, who used his power of making people do whatever he told them to do to amass a fortune and make those who tried to hold him accountable his puppets. |

Exalted: The Solars of the First Age were many sorts of monsters, but little exists quite like their social charms. Through repeated conversations with any subject, they can wear down their mental defenses and get them to believe and do anything, building up new intimacies and wearing down old ones until people are remolded into what they desire. In Princess: The Hopeful, this is the Practical Magic of the Court of Tears. By spending a Wisp, a Raven can issue a command of up to four words to anyone other than another Princess, and if the Raven wins the roll and the command is something the other party can consciously choose to do (i.e. "Lie down" or "Jump in the lake" is fine, but "Go to sleep" or "Die" is not), the other party must attempt to carry out the command. |

Cable once dealt with an arc villain Randall Shire, an Australian mutant described as a "psychomorph" who could change people's emotions to match what he told them; talking about sad things made them sad and happy things made them happy. This made him an excellent actor and entertainer in his job as a circus clown before possession by an alien entity amplified his powers to totally enslave anyone who heard him directly. | |

Diplomacy: this skill allows you to change the target's attitude towards you. The difficulty depends on how hostile the target is and how friendly you want it to become (but not how powerful the target is), with an extra penalty to do it in a single round. You can turn the strongest man in the world from Hostile (charging you with his axe, screaming that you killed his brother) to Helpful (your good friend, willing to give you any help you desire) in six seconds, no save. Break out the Epic Level Handbook (because it's quite easy to min-max Diplomacy to an epic rank even at a low level) and you can make him Fanatical (will die for you, loves you so much he gets combat bonuses for it). | |

In Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition, there are two skills that, when min-maxed, become this due to poor forethought from the designers. Bluff: by taking a high penalty to your roll, you can make people believe completely absurd lies. You can enter the throne room, declare yourself to be the real king and accuse the guy on the throne with the crown to be an impostor, and even he will believe you. The roll is opposed by the opponent's Sense Motive roll, but nobody min-maxes that (and it's much harder to do so anyway). Much easier to achieve with the help of the Glibness spell (available to level 5 bards), which gives such a massive bonus to a single Bluff roll that you're almost certain to succeed even without Min-Maxing. Diplomacy: this skill allows you to change the target's attitude towards you. The difficulty depends on how hostile the target is and how friendly you want it to become (but not how powerful the target is), with an extra penalty to do it in a single round. You can turn the strongest man in the world from Hostile (charging you with his axe, screaming that you killed his brother) to Helpful (your good friend, willing to give you any help you desire) in six seconds, no save. Break out the Epic Level Handbook (because it's quite easy to min-max Diplomacy to an epic rank even at a low level) and you can make him Fanatical (will die for you, loves you so much he gets combat bonuses for it). Usual disclaimer: Rule Zero means this won't actually work except for comedy if it becomes a Story-Breaker Power or more generally leaves other characters who invested in actual control spells wondering why they bothered when a simple skill check would have done it. Gigantic, minus 60 penalties to attempted Diplomacy in the middle of combat with hated enemies are probably reasonable enough anyway! |

The Umbrella Academy (2019): Allison has the power to "rumor" people. That is, she says "I heard a rumor that you slapped yourself," and you would do so. Allison's control is absolute, no matter how self-destructive or against the person's beliefs her orders are. However, she has to say "I heard a rumor..." for it to work. On one hand this means she can't use her powers by accident (a frequent problem for people with this ability), but an opponent who knows how it works can disable her before she finishes the sentence. While Allison is generally on the side of angels, she spent years using her powers for personal gain to become a famous actress, but her first husband divorced her after watching her rumor their toddler daughter into going to sleep. As a result, she's extremely reluctant to use her powers in the present day due to their addictive nature. It's worth noting that her powers are actually scaled down from the comics, where her rumoring extends to altering reality. | |

Symphony of Ages has Naming as a power that works something like this. It can't be used to command, exactly, but when Rhapsody informs some soldiers that a random stranger is her brother, Achmed the Snake, that stranger is Achmed the Snake — and goes by that name for the rest of the series, though there are compelling reasons for that. | |

Smallville: "Jinx": Smallville's version of Mxyzptlk. He only needed to see his target; the target didn't even have to hear him. Once he just whispered "trip" and Clark fell over. "Hypnotic": Simone could do pretty much the same thing, but with a longer-lasting effect. When she orders Lex to shoot Chloe then himself, Chloe struggles with Lex for the gun then shoots her through the hypnotic necklace and into her chest. "Progency": Moira Sullivan has this as her meteor power. Persuasion": [[spoiler:Clark temporarily gets this. And he unwittingly controls Lois into becoming a traditional Housewife and Chloe into "protecting him at all costs". |

In Vampire: The Masquerade this was a power specifically given to vampires of clan Toreador, through the Presence discipline. Most players combined it with the "Enchanting Voice" merit to create vampires that no mortal could say no to. Then there's Dominate, a specialty of the Ventrue in both Masquerade and Requiem. Dominate allows a vampire to look someone in the eye and give them an order they can't disobey. At lower levels, it's one-word commands and implanted suggestions; at higher levels, they're able to alter someone's personality and possess them. Being Manipulative Bastards par excellence, Ventrue childe are encouraged from early on that using their mind control powers as a cudgel to get what they want is vulgar, and that a true master can get the same results through more subtle and traditional mind games and methods of persuasion first. |

Eleven episodes later, Sugou's after that same Charisma-boosting VR technology, which he plans to use to make Asuna accept his marriage proposal. |

Foxy Flavored Cookie the royal family of Paw's Den has the ability to control people with their voice as long as they can see their target. Pituka was traumatized as a child when her mother the queen used this ability to force her to kill her own pet. Pituka also has this ability but can't use it when wearing her magical disguise band, and she hates using it anyway due to said trauma. The ability is said to work by controlling the victims' judgment, so it can be resisted by a person whose judgement is impaired. | |

The Bene Gesserit in Dune have the Voice. It can be either used to make people obey a short, to-the-point command immediately, or to subtly manipulate people in more long-term ways. It can even be used to push people in the opposite direction, like when Jessica manipulates two Mooks into killing each other over her by saying "There's no need to fight over me." The Great Schools of Dune prequels reveal that the Voice was first developed by Valya Harkonnen after she became a Reverend Mother. She used it to get her rival to kill herself before the rival had a chance to tell her the late Mother Superior's desire for them to cooperate. Then she told the others that the rival killed herself out of grief. | |

An Ant-Man supervillain, Jason Cragg, a.k.a. the Voice, originally appeared in the story "The Voice of Doom" from Tales to Astonish #42 (April, 1963). He is a man whose dull, droning voice was changed by a beam of radioactive electrons from a nearby research lab. After using his new voice to get whatever he wants, Cragg decides to use it to Take Over the World, and tries to get Ant-Man out of the picture. Ant-Man eventually defeats him by giving him laryngitis, courtesy of microbes implanted on the microphone Cragg was using in a nationwide televised broadcast. | |

The Phineas and Ferb episode "Ferb Latin" has a version of this with Dr. Doofenshmirtz's scheme for the episode, making the people of the Tri-State Area obey him using little notes with orders written on them in "a very persuasive font". He demonstrates this on himself using an order reading "punch yourself in the face". Near the end of the episode, he accidentally prints a bunch of notes reading "talk normal", which rain down all over Danville and inadvertently cause Phineas and Ferb's titular language to fizzle out. | |

A variant with Saruman of The Lord of the Rings; his main use of magic is in his powerful voice, which makes anything he says seem reasonable and utterly foolish to disagree with, and can only be resisted by maybe a dozen people in all of Middle-Earth. So when it was time to make the movies, they fittingly got Christopher Lee to portray him. Played completely straight when Gandalf comes back from the dead as the wizard that Saruman should have been. When a defiant Saruman turns to leave their conversation, Gandalf firmly says "Come back, Saruman," and Saruman is forced to turn around and face Gandalf again. In The Book of Unfinished Tales Saruman actually manages to compel the Witch-King of Angmar into believing his lies, to the point that he leaves thinking: "What an awesomely loyal servant Sauron has here". |

Kurogiri Satsuki a.k.a. "God's Word" from The Garden of Sinners is, indeed, the god of this trope, though in his case, it's less about his voice and more about the language he speaks, namely, the Unified Language. The Unified Language, a.k.a. Adamic language, was the original language spoken by the entire humanity before the Confusion of Tongues that followed the building of the Tower of Babel. Because of its connection to reality itself, it's impossible to disobey an order given in it and not be Erased From Existence. | |

While they act this way, they'll do whatever Lullaby tells them, up to and including being willing to commit suicide if she says so. Lullaby initially used her powers to force the children she baby-sat to obey her, before she charmed a real estate millionaire and tried to get him to kill himself so she'd get to keep all his money. | |

An older Obi-Wan uses the ability in A New Hope to get himself, Luke, C-3PO, and R2-D2 past a Stormtrooper checkpoint, telling the Stormtrooper commander that he doesn't want to see their identification, the two droids weren't the ones they were looking for, and they can go about their business. The commander promptly repeats everything Obi-Wan says then waves the Jedi and his friends through. | |

No Ordinary Family has two applications of this trope: Daphne develops this to go along with her telepathy, while the Watcher has this along with telekinesis. Daphne has only used it to influence decisions; Watcher forces people to forget things. In both cases, the target repeats what he or she is told, but without a change in tone, leading to, for example, a mugger threatening to put his gun down and walk away, directly before doing so. Later Watcher even compels someone to kill himself. | |

Tyranny features Sirin — Archon of Song — who was born with this ability, though it's limited by a Restraining Bolt helmet installed by the local Evil Overlord. She lacked fine control of it as a child and tells the Fatebinder about how she sang to her unborn baby brother, asking him to be born as soon as possible; the results weren't pretty. In gameplay terms, her voice creates various buffs/debuffs centered around her location. Notably, she got the Restraining Bolt after nearly getting Kyros itself to commit suicide, only failing because she lost her focus. As this had happened in front of the entire court, and Sirin was subtle enough to not request it verbally while also being known as "The Songbird" and nothing more, Kyros couldn't order her execution without losing face. |

Gen V: Cate Dunlap can compel a person to do what she tells them to do, provided she physically contacts that person with her bare hands. Most of the time, this means she has to remove her gloves before using her powers, gloves she's had to wear since her power manifested itself when she was nine and told her brother Caleb in a moment of anger to go away and never return. | |

The Thrintun in Larry Niven's Known Space series were small (approximately 1.25 meters tall), highly telepathic but not particularly intelligent (with their mind control, they did not need to be), reptilian, with green scaly skin, pointed teeth, and a single eye. On their own they could control others in the local area but, with technology created by their much smarter slaves, one Thrint could control a planet! | |

Visser Three from Animorphs once roars "Stop!" in the middle of a huge battle and everyone, including his arch enemies the Animorphs themselves freeze. There's no science or supernatural elements involved in this case, he's just that scary. Another part of it may be that, as an Andalite controller, Visser Three talks entirely in thought speak. Meaning he was screaming directly into everyone's minds. |

All of the Forsaken from The Wheel of Time have this ability as a subpower of Compulsion. Most of them used it in different ways, ranging from a subtle charisma to a befuddling Charm Person. Moghedian used it closest to this trope, at one point befuddling then interrogating three main characters, then leaving them with no memory of it. Some downsides are brought up occasionally, such as vital information not being mentioned because it wasn't specifically asked for. | |

In Slay the Princess, the titular Princess has this in "The Tower" ending, achieved if you attempt to slay the princess but don't land a single hit. The Princess has transformed into a towering goddess who floats in midair, has glowing white eyes, and is in a room that's more of a shrine to the Princess than a prison. The princess tells you to descend the stairs to meet with her, and the Voice of the Broken in your head is instantly obedient. After entering, the Princess tell you to drop your pristine blade (if you brought it) and kneel before her, all while her voice echoes when she talks. You can try to resist her commands, but you'll just end up doing what she says anyways due to her overwhelming voice. | |

My Hero Academia: Hitoshi Shinso has a power fittingly called 'Brainwash'. It allows him to take control of people who verbally reply to his statements, until he either willingly relinquishes that control or they get shocked out of it. Later on, as of the Joint Training Arc, Shinso uses a voice distorter to imitate other people's voices. This causes even more problems for his opponents as now they can't even reply to each other, out of fear they may actually be enabling Shinso to take control. However, he cannot control more than one person and this stops him using his power on Midoriya, as Midoriya was accessing the spirits of past One For All users and therefore wasn’t just one person at the time. Shin Nemoto, a member of the Shie Hassaikai, inherits a Quirk called Confession. Whenever he asks a question to anyone he's talking to, the person in turn speaks out the truth in full detail, even unconsciously. |

The Elder Scrolls Throughout the series, this is one of the racial traits of the Imperials. They are well known for their talents in diplomacy, which is represented in-game by bonuses to the Speechcraft skill and/or a racial abilities that acts as a temporary Calm or Command spells. In Morrowind, Lord Indoril Nerevar, of whom the Player Character may or may not be a Reincarnation, was said in the Backstory to possess "supernatural powers of persuasion," which were further enhanced by his Azura-blessed ring, Moon-And-Star, which the player can obtain. (It moderately increases the Speechcraft skill and Personality attribute, which raises NPC disposition towards the player.) Skyrim The Imperial races' Voice of the Emperor power calms nearby opponents. Its not entirely guaranteed, but useful in a pinch — especially at lower levels. It is a skill attributed to Tiber Septim. This ability to pacify people is noticeably similar to the effects of several Dragon Shouts, with it theorized that the technique was originally derived from the Thu'um, modified by Septim to allow those not trained in the Voice to use it. The "Bend Will" shout introduced in the Dragonborn DLC; it has the ability to turn enemies into allies, and it can even subjugate a dragon and force it to become your steed. |

Jujutsu Kaisen has Toge Inumaki's Innate Technique: "Cursed Speech", which imbues his voice with Cursed Energy that forces anyone who hears it to follow his commands. This power isn't without caveats. the first is that Inumaki can't turn Cursed Speech off, so he has to limit his vocabulary (he usually only speaks in rice ball fillings) in order to avoid accidentally compelling someone to do something dangerous. Moreover, the technique needs a lot of Cursed Energy to work properly, so compelling people to act too differently to their usual behaviour or using it on someone with far more Cursed Energy can exhaust him to the point of damaging his vocal chords. So while the ability is considered one of the strongest in terms of potential, in practice it is much more limited in use. | |

Jesse Custer, of Preacher, has the Word of God (not to be confused with that other thing). The target has to be able to understand him (meaning that it was useless against agents of the Ancient Conspiracy who only spoke French, or put their hands over their ears, or a cat), but beyond that, its potential is near-limitless. He once killed somebody by ordering him to die. Before he completely understood the power, he told an antagonist to go screw himself. The result was as hilarious as it was squicky. He can even trigger other phenomena through the Voice. In one issue, he commands several assailants to "Burn!"... and they catch fire. While never directly demonstrated, there are several indications that he'd be able to pull off Jesus-style healing like giving cripples the ability to walk. (At the very least, he cured a guy of severe mental trauma and the murderous obsession that accompanied it by telling him to forget about it). Custer's also limited by needing to speak in the first place. Against a hitman fully aware of The Word, that had a gun already drawn and aimed, Custer only has time to say one word: "Miss." Unfortunately for Jesse, he doesn't dare try that stunt against the Saint of Killers. |

Code Geass Lelouch gains a power called Geass at the start of the story, allowing him to give orders that can't be refused or makes the victim answer a given question, can be fought by the victim, but after a couple of seconds they will fail and obey the command. His power is a combination of sight-based and voice-based (eye contact allows the ability to work, commands given verbally), and only works once per person. Of course, that "one command" can just be "do what I say from now on..." but Lelouch (initially) has too much Mind over Manners for that. Rai, the player character from the Lost Colors visual novel, has a slightly more literal version of this power, in that he simply needs to speak a command to control someone (whereas Lelouch needs to make eye contact first). |

The Immortal Game plays with this trope. Rainbow Dash is corrupted by a force known as "the Insanity," which gradually forces her to its will. However, the effect zig-zags, as when she does obey, its influence backs off until she disobeys it again. This turns her into a fully aware Apologetic Attacker. | |

The Courtship of Princess Leia: The Gun of Command will make a person subjected to it obey whatever instruction is said to them. Han is nearly compelled to tell a Nightsister where his ship is, before a Singing Mountain Witch breaks the spell. Luke uses the Force to make Ta'a Chume admit her crimes publicly at the end. |

In Princess: The Hopeful, this is the Practical Magic of the Court of Tears. By spending a Wisp, a Raven can issue a command of up to four words to anyone other than another Princess, and if the Raven wins the roll and the command is something the other party can consciously choose to do (i.e. "Lie down" or "Jump in the lake" is fine, but "Go to sleep" or "Die" is not), the other party must attempt to carry out the command. | |

While in most cases Vader doesn't mind people trembling in fear at his presence, he finds that at times that fear just gets in the way.

Near the end of Part 1 of Grimoire's Soul, Ceyda figures out that her unique magical ability is getting people to do whatever she asks. It's subtle enough that she doesn't realize she's been using it for quite some time until she's at Rembrandt and the other Mage's mercy, and because she asks, they do things that they otherwise wouldn't. She learns during her time at the Atrium that this is because her unique magic is related to Yore, the Avatar of Protection. As the existence of a second Yore user would be considered problematic by the people of the Atrium and elsewhere, Ceyda is convinced to keep this ability to herself. | |

In The Heroes of Olympus some children of Aphrodite have this power. One of the main characters was regularly convicted of theft after she just asked for things and were given them, until people would later come to their senses and called the police. Said things include jewelry, a BMW fresh from the showroom floor, and a Lawnmower. The witch Medea can do this too, and it's hinted that children of Hermes have similar powers. Thanatos in "The Son of Neptune". |

This is the main plot twist in BioShock. You are under the effect of Atlas's Compelling Voice. In fact, anyone could boss you around as long as they know your Trigger Phrase: "Would you kindly?". And you really must obey, since it's a linearly-plotted game. However, you are not under its effects for the entire game. About halfway through the plot, Brigid Tenenbaum disables the "Would you kindly" trigger, at which point Atlas tries to kill you by ordering your heart to stop beating with "Code Yellow". It takes two doses of the anti-Mind Control medication Lot-192 to free the player character's mind from all triggers. |

In Safe Havens a mermaid's singing voice acts as one of these. While Jenny thinks that means Remora has a potential career in telemarketing, Remora had sworn never to use her voice on humans. She's horrified when she learns she inadvertently had been using it on her newborn son Marlon as lullabies. (Dave and Luis never said anything cause they were also benefiting from her lullabies, and never slept better.) At one point, Bambi is turned into a mermaid (by saving Remora's life three times), and is tempted to stay that way to use that compelling voice to boost her singing career, which was in a sophomore slump at the time. She gives up when she finds out the only person who had ever done that before is Michael Jackson. |

Fate/stay night: the Command Spells for Servants work this way. Normally a Master and Servant at least try to cooperate, but a Master has three Command Spells that they can use to issue an order the Servant cannot disobey. A Servant can resist the compulsion a bit if they have enormous willpower, but they will give in and perform the task, even if that command is to kill themselves. Command Spells have a more benign use as well: if the Servant does not resist it, the Spell infuses the Servant with extra power, allowing them to perform feats they would not normally be capable of, or even warping reality to allow the servant to obey (at one point Shirou calls Saber to his side while she's all the way at home and he's falling from the third floor of his school building, and she teleports to make it in time to catch him in midair). | |

Warhammer 40,000: Psykers able to influence the behaviour of others have come up a few times in the fluff, although weaker variants fall into Charm Person. There's also the Tau Ethereals, who control the entire Tau race with a Compelling Voice. They appeared several millennia ago and promptly enslaved their entire species, instituting a rigid caste system / eugenics program for the greater good. It is insinuated that this is pheromone based. The whole thing is rather insinuated and the theory is first proposed by the Imperium (though it would fit very well). Most Tau don't think so, maybe even the Ethereals themselves. A Battle Report in the first White Dwarf after the release of the Tau certainly says otherwise. The fluff mentions an Ethereal saying that "[The Imperium] are all wrong [about it being psychic domination]. It is simply the nature of the Tau". |

Arachnid: The Army Ant Queen has the ability to control anyone she has exchanged bodily fluids with due to a virulent superpower she has. Her victims are reduced to a zombie-like state unless she assigns roles to them that restore most of their autonomy (which results in them getting mismatched eyes). The Organization's Boss has a more limited version that's combined with other abilities — on top of being able to read minds she can control a single person she has a close relationship with if they're powerful and consent to being controlled. Because she's also ageless, she used that power to control Japan's government and caused Hideki Tojo to wage war and allow the country to get nuked on purpose at the end of World War II. |

Doctor Who: The Master is notorious for this. In "The Sound of Drums", he artificially magnifies his abilities to the point that he conquers Britain simply by running for Prime Minister and convincing everyone to vote for him. The Fourth Doctor had the ability to hypnotize people in a Jedi Mind Trick kind of way. As does the Seventh in "Battlefield". The pro-robot terrorist Mad Scientist Taren Capel has inserted code into robots that gives him the ability to command them to do anything, even to go against the Laws — he forcibly surgically reprograms them to remove their lack of desire to Kill All Humans and then gives them spoken commands that they are powerless to disobey. Robots in the setting recognise people by voice print, meaning that his voice acts as the Restraining Bolt keeping the robots from also killing him. The Doctor gets around this by altering Taren's voice. |

Krabat has all the boys at the mill compelled to follow any command the Master gives them because they have sworn loyalty to him. When Krabat wants to confront the Master and learn to not follow every command, he and Juro start working on training Krabat's willpower. With Juro giving Krabat a command, he notices that he's having difficulty defying the comment — it's unclear if it's actual, magical power that causes this effect or mere confidence that forces this willingness upon Krabat. | |

Changeling: The Lost has a wealth of these — while not straight-up mind control, they can easily affect a person in similar ways. The Merit Siren Song draws a person's attention whenever the changeling is speaking, imposing a penalty on die rolls. Some Vainglory Contracts also lean in this direction, such as Songs of Distant Arcadia (which gives a bonus to all Expression and Persuasion rolls) and Words of Memories Never Lived (which allows the changeling to tell a story so convincing, the audience believes it's true). | |

The spider-priests in The Dagger and the Coin have this power, interestingly paired with Living Lie Detector — they can always tell if someone is telling the truth, and they can make anyone who listens to them believe that their own words are true. In most cases, the effect only lasts as long as the spider-priest is talking, but careful repetition can plant ideas firmly in peoples' heads. One ex-spider-priest discovered that this ability also makes you a great stage actor. | |

Prequel has Sigrid, who was originally an NPC in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion with a maxed-out Mercantile stat. In-story, this portrayed as her being unnaturally charismatic to the point that she could command anyone to do anything she wanted. Since the comic takes place in The Elder Scrolls setting, this is due to her using alchemy and enchantments to fortify her personality stat to impossible levels, a reference to how game-breaking Alchemy was in Morrowind. Eventually, it turns out that her charisma is so powerful that it has influenced her, turning her into a megalomaniac. | |

In Darth Cain, the Reluctant Sith Lord, Captain Varan, who is a Outer Rim pirate lord and secret Dark Side acolyte, is able to, using the Force, bend the thoughts and wills of weaker minds to his own, which he uses to keep control of the essential personnel of his ship's crew and as a tool against his enemies, although when he uses this against Vaylin, daughter of Valkorion, one of Emperor Vitiate's host body's, and Darth Cain's apprentice, it not only doesn't work but sends her into a rage, his vibro-blade with a cortosis weave being the only reason he doesn't die right then and there. Later on when he's being interrogated by Darth Cain, after losing a "fight" to him, Vaylin uses the same Force power on him to force him to answer Darth Cain's questions. | |

Last Res0rt has this as a default power of the Celeste, called "Tone" — when they give an order, it's an otherwise innocuous statement / gentle command backed by a hidden message in the Black Speech. Fortunately, certain creatures can be born with resistance or full-out immunity to these statements (among other things, it's heavily implied that being a Light Child of some kind grants you this immunity), which can cause it to backfire pretty impressively. Gabriel takes things up a notch when he transmits a silent Tone over the spaceship's sound system, catching most of the players as well as Cypress! |

The 4400: In "Becoming", Oliver Knox, a serial killer known as the Friday Harbor Killer who disappeared in 1983, has the ability to persuade people to do anything that he wants using only his voice. As he was already a suspect in the killings before his disappearance, he uses his ability to convince Philip Lopez and Charlie Staley to kill Theresa Baron and Gayle Keating respectively. Both men were totally convinced that they were the Friday Harbor Killer and confessed to the eight murders that Knox committed in 1983, which is what led Tom and Diana to suspect that he had powers. Knox later convinced Aaron Mitchell to kill Felicia but he was stopped before he could do so. The Friday Harbor Sheriff's Department and NTAC had witnessed Knox talking to Mitchell as they started keeping tabs on him after the two confessions. He tries to kill Felicia himself but Tom prevents him from doing so. Knox is then imprisoned in a soundproof cell in NTAC Headquarters so that he can't use his ability on anyone else. "The Truth and Nothing but the Truth" has Diana's sister April to specifically compel people to tell only the truth to any question she asks. This puts her in danger, since she uses it to blackmail people who reveal compromising things. In "The Ballad of Kevin and Tess", Tess Doerner has learned to focus her ability to influence people since going off the promicin inhibitor and taking more effective meds to manage her schizophrenia. She can now convince people to do something by simply telling them to do it, either directly or indirectly. The extent of her power is demonstrated in "Fifty-Fifty" when she tells Richard to sit down and is rendered incapable of moving. In "Daddy's Little Girl", Tess' schizophrenia has become so acute that no combination of drugs is able to relieve her symptoms. She takes over a 1950s themed diner and forces everyone there to dance constantly for more than two days as she believes that it is her Sweet Sixteen party in 1953. Most of them eventually collapse from sheer exhaustion. When Kevin tries to convince her what she is doing is wrong, she makes him place his hand on the burger grill, resulting in a severe burn. However, it soon disappears due to his Healing Factor. |

Star Wars Legends In Death Star, Darth Vader receives a report from an Imperial officer who is absolutely terrified of Vader. While in most cases Vader doesn't mind people trembling in fear at his presence, he finds that at times that fear just gets in the way. Vader tells the officer that he was not afraid, which the officer repeats then relaxes. The Courtship of Princess Leia: The Gun of Command will make a person subjected to it obey whatever instruction is said to them. Han is nearly compelled to tell a Nightsister where his ship is, before a Singing Mountain Witch breaks the spell. Luke uses the Force to make Ta'a Chume admit her crimes publicly at the end. Luke also does the Force mind push thing to Han in The Truce at Bakura and Han does NOT take it well. He warns Luke to never do it again. As an instructor at Luke's academy, Kyle Katarn teaches his students how to perform the mind trick but to always bear in mind the ethics of using the mind trick. He tells the students mind tricks might get the students what they want or need in the short term, but that the indivduals they use the tricks on may suffer adverse consequences - such as loss of employment all the way up to getting executed. Kyle asks his students to consider that the individuals they use mind tricks on may have family dependent on them who may suffer. |

The Dnyarri (those little brain-thingies) in Star Control II: The Ur-Quan Masters have this power — fortunately, they're extinct by the time the story starts, so you only meet ONE. But that one's enough. Fortunately, you can acquire a telepathic blocker that prevents it from commanding you around, but even that is imperfect, meaning that you can deflect the more outrageous orders, but still easily gets manipulated if the critter uses his voice smartly. To illustrate how powerful they are, look at what happened when the Umgah find one and undo the genetic tampering that left it a mindless slave. That one Dnyarri enslaves every Umgah in the system. | |

Two-Edge the half-troll of ElfQuest is somehow able to use his voice to send Rayek and Ekuar the wrong way when they're trying to find an exit from the troll caverns. This doesn't really seem to be a magical ability so much as a kind of vocal hypnosis, and might have something to do with the fact that the elves are already tired and disoriented. That was more taunting the elves with riddles then any magical compulsion. A better example is what his mother Winnowill pulled on Rayek in the Siege of Blue Mountain arc. Not exactly a compelling voice, but a mental equivalent... and he doesn't even realize what's happening till he comes out of it. |

In P.C. Hodgell's Chronicles of the Kencyrath, powerful Highborn can compel with words. All Lords can compel their bound followers. Jame compels a powerful Highborn Lord in Seeker's Mask, and in To Ride a Rathorn tells an abusive Highborn to "back off" — which he does, straight out of a window. Her twin brother appears to have similar abilities. He's Highlord of the whole Kencyrath and she's his twin, and both are avatars of the godhead to boot, so all their people are their followers in a sense. | |

The Lord of the Rings, as in the book, portrays Saruman this way. It's downplayed compared to the source (as most of it comes through narration of people's silent emotional reactions) but when you cast Christopher Lee in the role, the intent is quite evident. It's just hard to imagine that voice being disobeyed or ignored, and the extended cut of Return of the King restores the scene where he tries to cow the Rohirrim who came to demand redress for his war on them. In The Hobbit, Smaug's voice has a More than Mind Control effect, similar to the book. Aside from hearing Smaug makes Bilbo take off the Ring without realizing it (though the Ring itself might have helped Smaug's words), at more than one point, Bilbo is visibly trying to shake Smaug's words out of his head. |

The fairies' "mesmer" power in the Artemis Fowl series is described as a "layered" and melodious voice, although it also requires eye contact and a spark of magic. With enough magic power behind it, however, it can reach the level of Charm Person even without eye-contact. | |

Edward in The Company Novels. Nicholas and Alec as well, seeing as they're clones, but Edward especially uses it. Especially noticeable in Not Less Than Gods, in which he manages to talk his boss into finding maraschino booze (which he hates) really tasty. | |

Kayla's power in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, though it only works with an added touch. At the end of the film she commands Stryker first to put a gun to his chin, but stops short of making him shoot himself, instead saying "Turn around. Now walk until your feet bleed". | |

In The Goon Show episode "Six Charlies in Search of an Author", whoever has the typewriter can force the other characters to do whatever that person types — but he has to read it aloud because it's radio, so... | |

The Little Mermaid (1989): This is ultimately how Ursula managed to cheat in her deal with Ariel when it became apparent that the latter and Eric would break the spell. Ursula, using the voice that she took from Ariel earlier, disguised herself as Vanessa and then used her voice to brainwash Eric. | |

Is This A Zombie?: Yuu never speaks because her voice is so compelling that reality will distort to obey her words. The first time she spoke was to say "Die"; everything within several yards died instantly. | |

Confessors in The Sword of Truth can do this to anyone they have touched with their power. Unfortunately, it's permanent, and they are enthralled to the Confessor for the rest of their lives. Kahlan, one of the main characters, is one of the most powerful, and can command people to voluntarily die. The Confessed will also die of grief if the Confessor who controls them dies (in the TV series however, they return to normal when their Confessor dies.) | |

In Hc Svnt Dracones the genetically engineered Vectors of post-human Sol have a backdoor built into their brains that causes human singing, mostly from analog recordings, to have a hypnotic effect on them. Usually this just puts them into a fugue state, but there's hints that commands could be inserted into the singing. | |

Then there's Dominate, a specialty of the Ventrue in both Masquerade and Requiem. Dominate allows a vampire to look someone in the eye and give them an order they can't disobey. At lower levels, it's one-word commands and implanted suggestions; at higher levels, they're able to alter someone's personality and possess them. Being Manipulative Bastards par excellence, Ventrue childe are encouraged from early on that using their mind control powers as a cudgel to get what they want is vulgar, and that a true master can get the same results through more subtle and traditional mind games and methods of persuasion first. | |

The Wheel of Time (2021): Siuan has this power, it turns out. As the Amyrlin, she's the head of the Aes Sedai. Subordinate Aes Sedai have sworn magically unbreakable oaths to obey her. Thus when Moiraine refuses to obey an order Siuan gives her, she invokes her authority formally, with doing so compelling obedience. | |
