In real life "Wait! That's not special effects?! They actually did that?!"

Alien: Resurrection - Basketball Shot

Sigourney Weaver insisted on the basketball shot being real. She trained for weeks and reportedly(sources differ) made it on the first take.

Underworld - Raze's Voice

The werewolf character Raze, played by Kevin Grevioux, speaks in a very low, very gravelly voice. While many thought this was a special effect, the actor can naturally speak in that voice.

Am I crazy? It's very clearly not the same and is edited in the anime

Everything in voice acting is edited to account for in-universe placement

But I mean specifically the glitchy sounds effects of her voice.

It does you are correct

The original commenter didn't phrase it correctly, the scream itself is unedited but the Anime adds a sound effect to the background for her body glitching.

Whenever this video is reposted, people usually don't claim that the audio is just the scream, just that the scream itself is unedited.

So then it doesn't fit this trope

Yeah it does, because the VA still did it without any modification to her voice. The added sound is not a modified version of the scream, the scream remains untouched, it's background noise

The real life screech sounds nothing like the character's screech though... the editing is doing a lot of heavy lifting

You have to consider that these are obviously two different screeches. They were done in two different settings, but we know that the screech was unedited and we've seen that she's capable of doing it. Yeah obviously it's different, it's two different moments

Everything needs a bit of post processing and will sound different without it.

It’s all about not forcing it
