Its so funny, I was a tester on ragnarok, and it was well before the game got announced, you made a videp where one of your jokes was that you cant really talk aboit what projects you are working on, and like the next day, your voice got implimented onto ratotoskr's first scene, and I nearly spit my coffe in laughter.

[@Thailerr]

You being involved in the writing process was a stroke of genius by Santa Monica! You absolutely killed it on Ratatoskr's personality. His "car salesman" vibe made me think of him as a butler. In service of the world tree he puts his emotions aside.

[@Afrancis1968]

I honestly did not know this until I finished the game and saw your name in the credits, I freaked out because it is so cool to see you in a big production like this.

@ProZD Sungwon I want you to know that you are the entire reason I am watching Delicious in Dungeon in English. I am normally a huge Subs over Dubs person as I usually feel like the characters personality comes out more with a Japanese voice actor; but saw that you played Senshi in your voice over real you put out a few days ago and decided from that alone to watch the show in English. And my friend you do no disappoint. I am loving watching it in English and there are only a handful of other anime that have gotten me to watch it in English. Phenomenal work.

I was GENUINELY curious how you did the "Ratatoskr cliimbing on Kratos" bit so thank you for going into such detail!

Dude. You did such a great job! I knew a while back you voiced him. But, the fact you wrote for him too is impressive. You're a very talented fellow! Well done.

[@lumpenada977]

It's honestly super inspiring to see you go from short skits on youtube all the way to voicing a character on god of war! Obviously there were tons of smaller steps along that way but I think it's a huge inspiration regardless.

[@mr.doctorcaptain1124]

He’s been a voice actor for a while. But I think this was his biggest role so far in terms of the size of the game.

Thanks so much for making this video, when I first played the game I was happily surprised when Ratatoskr showed up and I heard your voice. He and his spectral forms are such great character and I'm glad to have some insight on your experience with Ragnarok

[@ragnar0432]

ProZD is honestly a staple of my childhood,I love his skits and I've played every major God of War title,both I loved and it made me so happy when I saw him get this huge role and get recognized for ability to create distinct voices and of course his acting skill overall. It felt great to see someone from my childhood grow so much and be in something and even write for something also so influential in my life. Loved the character and a bit late but congratulations on this role!

[@Joblerone]

Having just finished the game mere days before this upload and currently doing the post game content with a friend, I can say with certainty that Ratatoskr is a delight, you and the writers did an amazing job, even if I begged the friend who streamed it to me not to trigger the line about hitting the chime too many times

[@Dropintheocean17]

When the magical squirrel approaches Kratos and is like, “Hullo sir, do you mind if I have a little peak-at-you”, I (maybe fallaciously) thought that was like a Pikachu reference, given what a big fan of Pokémon you are. Was I right, or did I just read into it what I wanted to read into it?

Hey sungwon. I’ve been a fan of your videos for roughly about 5 or so years. I ran into your video while trying to find some videos to show my high school students during Covid and while I was distance teaching. As a high school art teacher/gamer/avid anime enthusiast/all things cool and creative, I found your videos truly a godsend. I remember that I actually ran into your video even before a while back when watching ign videos and listened to your humble tumbler beginnings. I am also a korean by birth, was born and raised there til 11 and came to US to escape from corporal punishment and becoming a Samsung drone. Anyways, sorry for my little tangent there. I just wanted to say I am beyond excited to learn about that crazy wonderful squirrel from god of war ragnarok was you! It truly is awesome to be part of your fan base. I hope your next voice acting endeavors take you even farther and looking forward to seeing more of your acting skills in other creative projects. Can’t wait to share this with my students. Truly inspiring to see you in god of war. Also I cannot drink water without reminiscing your “how to drink water properly” video😂
