About this sound

A loud ogre roar sound effect from the Shrek movies, a deep bellow used in memes and edits to signal anger, power or a sudden dramatic entrance.

This clip captures Shrek unleashing a full-throated roar, starting low in his chest before rising into a loud, gravelly bellow that fills the whole sound. It sounds raw and ogre-like, with a rough edge that makes it feel much bigger than a normal shout. The length gives it weight, letting the anger or excitement build rather than landing as a single quick yell. When it plays over a video, it instantly makes the moment feel dramatic, intimidating or hilariously over the top, turning an ordinary reaction into something that demands attention.

Pro tip

Drop the roar right on the reveal, after a brief pause, so the build-up lands with maximum impact. Pair it with a sudden zoom or shake, but keep background music low. Avoid cutting it short, because trimming the opening growl removes its power.

How people use it

Creators use it for a dramatic character entrance in edits.
Streamers play it after losing a game badly.
Editors add it to exaggerated angry reaction clips.
Meme makers pair it with unexpected plot twists.

More information

Shrek is the ogre hero of DreamWorks Animation's Shrek films, first released in 2001 and voiced by Mike Myers, and his roar became one of the character's most recognisable traits. The sound has since travelled far beyond the films, appearing in YouTube edits, TikTok videos and meme soundboards where creators reuse familiar movie audio for comic effect. It endures because almost everyone recognises Shrek instantly, so a single roar can set up a joke, a threat or a dramatic moment without any explanation.
