So, the guy who voices Reaper actually doesn't need processing. He's able to add the reverb himself. Saw it in a video where the Lucio VA was going around and ribbing the other cast members.

[@bopply2616]

I've actually done it before, it isn't as difficult as it sounds

[@Xominus]

​@@bopply2616send vid lmfao.

[@bopply2616]

​​@@Xominus I'm actually willing to take that challenge as I've not really explored it that much and have only done it once, maybe twice. I'm not the real voice actor so I won't get his voice perfect but I'd love to show and explain how I do it Video might be a bit annoying but if I could grab your discord I could show you

Quick do Claude from the hit game Fire Emblem Three Houses!

idk if he has the voice to pull off Claude tbh

I unironically want this tho due to a dub I’m making of a fic

@Throw Away he needs to do Claude from gta

[@SammiiLuVTTV]

Idk if that’s supposed to be sarcasm. But he voiced Claude from fire emblem

[@lucasm.3864]

That actually is going to help me for my D&D game since I was wondering what sort of voice to give my necromancer. Thanks for the directions.

[@glassofwater281]

Literally the perfect necromancer voice. For my session I made an absolutely massive Orc Barbarian with one snaggletooth and dreads covering his eyes and down his back and tiny little legs, based him on the art style of Castle Crashers or Charlie Murder. Absolutely destroyed my throat by adding a ton of deep growl to my voice and shouting "ME FIX!" Before turning a man with a broken arm into a meatball. That running gag went all night

Amazing voice artist 👌🏼😍 you mimic each character voice 200%

[@pk_sapphire]

Thank you so much! I've been planning on going as Reaper for Halloween. Subbed!

[@jonathanpiccini7464]

Me too for Lucca Comics, my cosplay is almost ready.

[@William.Jervis]

The dnd joke got me cracking up XD but seriously this helped a lot cuz my dnd campaign is getting a little boring and we need a villain. This is the perfect voice!

[@pixelart0124]

The way you said "next" at the end here sounds so terrifying and domineering, very Reaper-like

[@WhisperingHunter]

I've been doing reaper impressions for a long time and i think you just help me out for doing reaper thanks man 👍

[@extinctparadise363]

Sounded very Joker from dark knight til you added processing and lowered your voice

[@Merz0r]

Ayyy, that was pretty good! 😄

[@DonoZeek]

Never thought Reaper's voice could sound so sexy like his voice actor.

[@alexanderdablake]

So I'm working on an audiobook. There is a character I am about to get to, that I've been struggling to find a voice for, and this actually gives me a good idea for him. Thanks again!

[@Ya_boi_jasper]

Me who’s voice squeals like a piglet on helium: **dies trying to do this**

[@OmegaDoesThings]

That's... huh, incredibly accurate. I'mma borrow this. Not too different from what I do for David Hayter/Solid Snake.

[@brosif862]

Thank you for doing these Joe! It gives aspiring voice actors like me things to practice

[@RacingSnails64]

This isn't too far off now that you mention it! Loved that version of Scarecrow

[@phntmthf5505]

@@RacingSnails64 The main difference is that Injustice 2 Scarecrow has an accent which Reaper doesn’t

Do all the overwatch characters you’re so accurate at them

[@brandonhall7498]

Holy crap that was awesome! Would love to hear Jackie Welles from Cyberpunk 2077

[@FreezyFreeFire]

The really impressive thing is there's not even that much processing done to Keith Ferguson's performance compared to some others

[@thelogic2034]

Solid work! All that is left is inflection and its 100%

[@hyperbolic3259]

Before the processing you sound like Steve blum, which is a total compliment

[@RacingSnails64]

Nice! He's a *little* deeper as well, but the clench and growl are spot on!

[@neroxl6611]

Amazing video ❤️

[@Somebodythatoverthinks]

Wtf U always thought there is a limit to how close one voice actor can sound to many characters but this dude is on a roll every impression is on point 👏

[@ariarimeowmeow]

You should see the actual voice actor the way he does the voice is haunting

[@UnhappyFurball]

Emperor Calus from Destiny 2. I need to know how to sound fat and opulent
