FAQ - John​​​ | Octopimp​​​

[@TheMonarchIsSuperior]

So...WHERE IS THE FREAKIN DAVE FAQ??!!

[@nedahert848]

Btw its his original voice for dave (( im sorry if you already knew this ouo ))

[@silverackerman394]

That's awesome...wait...dirk/bro is voiced by octopimp's brother...octopimp voices Dave....IM DONE! *table flip* SO FUCKING DONE, DOOOONE

[@biggieswizcg5195]

oof. bad news buddy

[@madi2163]

Dang, this is awkward, hahah.

[@sagethesage3625]

and then homestuck FAQs were never made by octopimp again...

[@johnegbert3127]

TurntechKitten tRuee

[@halieeliah729]

John and Makato have the same voice :)

[@Octopimp]

I appreciate the feedback! Honestly, these are just a fun sort of breakdown of how I do the voices/why I do them the way I do. They were never intended to be any sort of gospel for how the characters sound, it's all a matter of personal opinion when it comes to that.

[@tanisfranchi9112]

Does anyone else think FAQ stands for Fucking Answering Questions?

[@whitebeboboy]

The possibilities are endless so could be

[@zluasiigilth1494]

Frequently Asked Questions, but they works too. XD

[@tanisfranchi9112]

Well I know dat but still.

[@safeleoluv]

even though im terrible at voice acting, i like these videos because they help me with my roleplays. he really highlights the main traits of the characters

[@purpleguy8474]

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I'd love to hear Octopimp do Undertale voices.

[@Bellehiek]

Saaaame

[@Proxxik.]

YASS

[@sagethesage3625]

YESSSSSSS

[@thord9688]

Hi purple guy 😍😍😍

[@furrygirlawesomefox3735]

vaaaaaaa doooooooooooo

[@X_Star_Sprinklez_X]

Holy crap! That's exactly how I imagined his voice o.O

[@hanbeihood3202]

A lot of us think you deserve to be the canon voice for all the characters you do. Not only do you bring the personality to the character, but the way you do it really helps those just getting into Homestuck. For instance, HomestuckColab was my prime source of Homestuck and it's story until I caught up, and even now I watch the new videos just so that I can hear how you read the lines aloud as opposed to how it is in my head. I always end up liking your voice acting much better.

[@meltyourheadachescallithom3961]

I haven't been waiting for Dave for three years whatttt noooo...

[@volatilemolotov667]

me: *watches this when it first came out* huh, this is cool me now: *has memorized the first five pesterlogs and almost all of act 1* I NEED TO PRACTICE THIS VOICE FOR HALLOWEEN (im being John)

[@glassXmoon]

If it ever becomes a live action movie/official animation... you need to be the one to voice act so many characters. ;w;

[@AmbientRadiation]

Can you make that last outburst into a ringtone? Priceless! XD

[@DandilionFireworks]

Yeah, I noticed that too : )! It's a quirk that I think serves John's character well... kind of blunt and straightforward.

[@basicallyjustabirdnow3616]

and then he never made a dave FAQ...

[@demonwolf202]

I can't read Homestuck without the voices from your videos filling in the voices of everyone in the comic.Mainly Tavros, Gamzee, and Sollux that is.

[@Mothman_In_a_T-Pose]

At the end, John went through very angsty puberty, It made my day.

[@Daybreaker1991]

Looking forward to the next one already. Just a thought, what if you had your brother guest star with an FAQ of his own? What he thinks about Bro/Dirk, his thoughts on Homestuck despite not reading it, and how he feels about this experience and becoming a minor celebrity among the fandom.

[@Ryujin713]

The bloopers are fantastic.

[@RVGmetallicasaw]

He never did that Dave FAQ...

[@ricardoamoedo95]

Your voice is perfect man I never get enough of it XD

[@aznmostwantedl]

that picture goes perfectly with that sentence

[@supapenguinz7704]

Thanks so much! This is a huge help! I'm gonna be voice acting for a fan made HS anime as John (that's literally all I know) and I didn't know what I was gonna do with the voice. You completely go in-depth on how to do the voice and the different layers and make something so complicated a whole lot easier to understand.

[@CosmicalPhantom]

Nice bloopers octo. I love your John voice!

[@SonicPokemonFan951]

you have inspired me to voice act. I always loved voice acting, but afraid on what people will think. But, you have made me think on proceeding in this. Keep up the hard work :D

[@StygianMythical]

Dave and Karkat xD lol dat end omfg

[@skylargeorge2056]

I love the bloopers haha

[@hereticsys]

all i can think of is that it is pretty much the same voice he uses for makoto XD

[@jessicahanrahan1966]

all I hear is Makoto

[@bigmistake8219]

+Jessica Hanrahan saMMEE

[@theultimatedonut]

This was actually pointed out by his refusal to call Davesprite by his name. In Act 6 Intermission 2 he just called him "dave", and then in A6I3 he started calling him "dave sprite". When Jade pointed out the pause, he replied with "what ever". So while it may not have been intentional way back in Act 1, it's definitely a deliberate quirk John has developed (sort of like Dave slowly dropping punctuation altogether).

[@jazzygrayy]

MAKOTOOOOOOO!!! Lol same voice

[@wyattdavis3295]

Equius Fullbuster I HAD JUST SCREAMED THIS, THEN SAW YOUR COMMET

[@bigmistake8219]

I SAID THIS MANN IN MY HEAD

[@wanderinghorizon]

The ending! It kills me every time XD

[@TheUltimateDovakiin]

Can you do a tutorial for Terezi's voice? Or, if you don't do it can you post your friend doing the tutorial? Thanks c:

[@SuperZergMan]

I love your John voice, it suits him so well!

[@OracleAndi]

And the Dave one was never made...

[@GuardianoftheDarkHeart]

I second this. COOL BRO VOICE AFTER DAAAAVVVEEEEEE!

[@paullossypaulplossy]

What about the Jake FAQ?

[@lilmouseygirl79]

wow I did not know you did so MANY of the voices MIND BLOWN my daughter will not believe this haha!!

[@rebeccabirch6130]

I love your FAQ videos! You're a really talented voice actor!

[@elfindigo]

I needed this since I'm going to be John for a thing I'm doing! :D THANK YOU!!!

[@1Video365Days]

this was way to adorable and wonderful

[@115zohan]

I love your videos! Your John voice makes my day about 23409% better and I was smiling the whole time I watched this! thank you!

[@InnerFire123]

you are seriously the love of my life.

[@Galaxycat123]

It's hard to believe that all of these voices are from one guy... it's actually a little scary that he can change his voice like that like holy shit

[@FandomTOBY]

// XDDDDDD That motherfucking rage at the end tho XDDDD

[@BronifiedRiku]

I must say, apart from having amazing videos, I do love seeing The Warden poster in the back!

[@shiba4513]

Dave FAQ ;-;

[@RuviGaPo]

This is BEAUTIFUL!

[@daniellewaltman317]

but where is the Dave FAQ?

[@haddyDrow1]

I love the outtakes nice john voice :)

[@TrebbleBiscuit]

This is awesome! Great video!

[@quinwith1n202]

Can we have a 50% off FAQ! Please!

[@yeenmachine4172]

RIP to the Dave FAQ

[@ChaosChild1]

IM NOT DUMB, don't call me dumb..

[@leighdrawson8562]

You're dumb John. don't deny it

[@ChaosChild1]

*Grabs pogohammer* ...

[@maddie507]

+John Egbert Your not dumb...your just...um...someone help me out here??

[@ChaosChild1]

[@maddie507]

[@ZyDawg]

I love the FAQ's so freaking much

[@tomatojuice2172]

[@gaycetornado5854]

this is awesome. period.

[@sailorperry]

omfg you have the best thumbnails

[@XLovechuXD]

I am still waiting for the dave FAQ. Still waiting...

[@AliasEliahus]

when he kind of flips there, im like oh hi mituna.on a better note , you tend to make most of my vocal headcannons.

[@grimble4564]

Either Karkat or Dave. Personally, I think we'd all love that

[@TheRadioactiveFX]

i love how he keeps the john voice while raging

[@immortalandundead5554]

It's been five years.... I mourn for the non existent Dave FAQ

[@devincamp8274]

these are really helpful!! thanks a lot, you've showed me how to do so much!!!

[@EndlessEntropy]

I love your voice acting :)

[@ikutofangurl]

pretty sweet man looking forward to it (( please do karkat if you haven't!))

[@helloworldies]

Lol love the cussing in john's voice! "God I hate everything!" Sounds like something he would say at this point :P

[@Xurnalea]

When Octopimp is angry he makes bird-john noises.

[@iPsychopathic]

Octo, when you do the Dave FAQ, you should just put a little part at the end of your brother talking as Dirk, so everyone shuts up and finally moves on.

[@Alufear]

Hey Octo, is there any way you can ask some of your guest VA's like ambitiousbard or unluckywarrior to do something like these? It'd be really cool to see. :D

[@SandeeDude]

When you're done with the FAQs, you should do videos where you attempt a voice you don't normally do (or have never done) as requested by your subscribers. No matter how bad it is. Like I'd really love to see you trying to voice Kanaya. Just sayin'.

[@johnegbert7330]

no he's mine, with the combined force of two johns, no universe is safe from the pranking.

[@LuluRANDOMS]

I think you should do one on Dave and Karkat. Also get your brother to do one for Dirk. And get the girls to do one too.

[@0xfff17]

Octobiologist

[@SandeeDude]

I know you don't voice Karkat but have you ever attempted a voice for him and if so, can you make a video on what it's like? Even if it sucks? And if not, can you do a video on how you would personally voice him? Again, sucky voices are acceptable :D

[@valarievivian7937]

AMAZING

[@motsumono01]

Love your voices X3

[@BeaneCat]

He did Karkat's voice in one of his little comic dubs called "Arm Wrastin'". :)

[@BluVictini]

dude you are like super duper adorable like am i even aloud to day that but you are honestly aderpable in every way

[@madamHoodie1]

OCTO THAT SHAKING MICROPHONE STAND IS MAKING ME NERVOUS

[@forrestjemming3148]

i want you to voice john on Lets Read Homestuck please dear god

[@jordanwait7264]

I know! The current john voice actor is so irritating

[@nancyortiz7804]

Complete rage-quit at the end. XD

[@archery411]

I keep trying to concentrate, but all I see is the silhouette of The Warden just looming behind Octo and I feel like I'm about to shit some bricks. O.O

[@ratlord3d]

Oh, I hate it when I screw up my lines too... That's literally how I react,..

[@mason9486]

So he turned into Mituna at the end. That was cool.

[@tatyona1461]

Sounded like John was having a tough time at the end

[@zacmerrifield8662]

Man that Dave FAQ sure takes a while to make, lol.

[@d1p]

John went grimdark by the end.

[@KarmaSinLoveLosts]

That was awesome.

[@Ashley8114]

heh when at the end with the bloopers and he first messed up, thats how I feel whenever I mess up XD

[@Asyipyip]

MY heart hurts whenever you smile and wave because I know I am way too young for you.

[@liswifi]

this deserves a rimshot that turns a straight 180 degrees in the other direction and becomes a neil peart drum solo.

[@Yggdraseed]

Do you do that spectacular Horuss voice? Because I would personally -love- to know where in the name of all that is sane and decent you came up with such a perfect representation of him. Oh -God- I never would have thought someone would make me miss Equius-level creepy Horuss turns creepy up to fifteen and rips off the dial uuuugh

[@WilliamBrayton]

...I was not expecting an answer. Thanks! I mean, I do plenty of odd voices but I find it weird when I seem to find people who can't do anything BUT your voices and they use them on other stories and stuff.

[@allyslider7537]

Your Tavros voice is adorable.

[@NinjaGirl1213]

i agree with everyone else, you should get all your voice acting buddies to do this too

[@emilythebard2800]

Can you do a Karkat FAQ?

[@julians.e.7163]

so, basically your telling us you made him sound like Larry from veggie tales?

[@TheDogmatix10]

Unless I'm mistaken, you have a superjail poster of the warden on your wall...do want. And see if you can do Kurloz, or get your Bro in for a quick Dirk voice FAQ :P

[@TheSuperblade7]

i've heard other voices and i take these as the best or canon in my oppinion. i hope you don't mind me attempting to use the troll voices you do when me and my friend adam talk like that. im trying to come to terms with my voice being deeper than yours and so my impersionation of the voices are different than yours. the voices are really cool!

[@liamattivissimo6288]

Do you do dubbing as a job? You're really good, and I love especially eridan's and tavros' voices :)
