RWBY but it's just Shannon McCormick's Ozpin // RWBY Compilation!

[@HyperfixationStation]

Link to the Aaron edition!: bit.ly/Aaronpin (That's where the parts where their voices overlap are, so there's some Shannon in there, too. Had to pick one!) These videos were so revealing to make, especially this one, since a lot of people haven't noticed how Oz is sounding more like Oscar as well as vice versa. He and Aaron are doing a fantastic job! Let me know your thoughts or if you notice anything! I might've missed some stuff, too :D Note: I have captions for the Aaron version, but my hand cramped up so I haven't done them for this one yet. I'll do my best to get that done soon!

[@otter5261]

I feel like his voice gets softer/lighter each volume, just like his model lol I can’t believe I forget how funny he is, I think I get distracted by how sad he is

[@HyperfixationStation]

DAAAAANG Otter's out for blood calling out the character model "getting lighter" each volume, I like it! (And that last bit....relatable)

[@0xEARTH]

"I've made more mistakes than any man, woman, and child on this planet, but at this moment, I would not consider your appointment [as] leader to be one of them... do you?" and this line would echo all the way through to Vol 9.

[@TaigaClaws]

I use that line in life, its comforting to know that despite any mistake I can always make more

[@craig3240]

Yall made him seem like he did the worst thing and was not to be trusted. He kept a damn secret cause he knew no one would take it well and just give up. And they pretty much did. Ozpin was cool to them after the whole assembly speech. He bent the rules a bit to allow them into their "secret" mission. And his talks with Ruby also showed how cool and laid-back he was in his charming demeanor.

Ozpin is one of if not the best Characters in RWBY and Shannon McCormick will forever be a legend for voicing the Character.

[@inkazen]

I just love that volume 6 is just "Shall I?" "May I?" Then calming Oscar down to save him. Like it's crazy how caring this man is and how much he gets bullied by everyone

[@Skywolf1802]

Ozpin has always been one of my fab characters

[@HyperfixationStation]

he's definitely one of the best-written! He's so fun at Beacon, but I love watching him develop along with the merge as well. The character growth is **chef's kiss**

[@Da_caffeinated_insomniac]

Shannon as Ozpin=legendary ass monologues and speaker of beautiful speeches and so damn talented (I love his changes to show how he is merging with Oscar taking new his traits in Volume 8 so cool)

[@HyperfixationStation]

truly! It's incredible how strong his character started and how much he's grown and changed, both from experience and from Oscar's influence! Happy to have ya on the channel cause the merge is my main hyperfixation at the moment XD It wasn't until making this that I noticed how Shannon started changing his voice a bit in volume 6 even! It took me awhile to notice it in the v7 monologue, but once I did I can't unhear it, but v6? Even from their first lines Oscar and Oz sound slightly mergey voice-wise, it's really cool! I love the effect the merge has had on Oz's monologues - the ones in v7 & 8 have a much more intimate, grounded vibe than his previous ones, which fits so well with Oscar's character and how he differs from Prof. Ozpin. They really are bringing the best out in each other, it's fascinating!

[@Da_caffeinated_insomniac]

@@HyperfixationStation it really is and I love how well they did their relationship it’s great throughout all the volumes ……I just realised that Oscars main issue is his fear but as he begins to overcome his fears he inadvertently help ozpin overcome his fear of trust for the fist time since Salem killed him and her children as he never truly trusted as he was afraid but near the end of volume 8 he fully trusts the team and returns witch is so wholesome but your right about Shannon’s voice merging with Arron’s voice with is tone and voice inflections in his talking which is just wow with how well they did that small detail and I’m happy to be here on this amazing channel keep up the good work

[@stardust98921]

Salem: I am the greatest narrator of World of Remnant. Ozpin: Allow me to introduce myself. *Proceeds to narrate the Tale of Four Maidens :)

[@NuggieIsMissing]

Okay but it’s comparing Jen Taylor, Cortana’s VA, to Shannon McCormick 😭 both are so good

[@zy9512]

There's just something about his voice that's so calming, soothing, and charismatic at the same time. I feel like it has the potential to calm a person with anxiety down quickly.

[@the_nightrunner_via3278]

I miss Ozpin he was a great character but no matter what Ozpin will always be one of my top favorite characters in rwby. When I first saw him in the show I already knew I was going to like him especially his speeches, & monologs are the best he is legendary.👍

[@tiandi5585]

I miss seeing his Ozpin form, but at least he's still kicking around and turning Oscar into a punching bag.

[@drawnwriter5543]

Well actually 🤓 Everytime Oscar becomes a punching bag Ozma is desperately begging Oscar to give him control but he refuses to the point that Ozpin is forced to take over by force.

[@h0rn3d_h1st0r1an]

[@TheAngelofFate17]

It’s kinda crazy. I remember originally started watching RWBY because I had watched the Red trailer way back when and I thought Ruby looking amazing because I love Red Riding Hood. I remember I didn’t really pay attention Oz because I didn’t know really anything about him due to me not knowing he’s the Wizard of Oz. I focused on the girls and also I really liked Qrow while also keeping the show kinda at arms length because I have heard not so nice things about the fandom itself. Then I watched Oz die and I was genuinely upset about it and I watched the episodes where he became apart of Oscar and I was like “Okay wth is going on???” At that point his and Oscar’s situation reminded me a lot of the anime Yugioh and I was immediately hooked on their dynamic. And THEN I watched his backstory in that moment all the other characters (besides Oscar) kinda ceased to exist 😆 Ozpin became my favorite character, like I have stated many times that when it comes to RWBY my brain only ever thinks of Oz and Oscar. And I have always found that insane. I find that a feat in of itself. I went from not knowing anything about Oz, not paying attention to him, to be intrigued by his and Oscar’s situation, to utterly adoring him in the short span of like a few weeks. I only wish we could have gotten more from him before he died. And I can only hope that at the end of the show and if Oz gets a chance at peace we can see his form one last time in that newest animation style.

[@HyperfixationStation]

I didn't pay Ozpin much mind in the early volumes either, tbh, I was too focused on the main teams! But then Oscar happened and I immediately loved him, so I wound up invested in Oz's story, too. The Lost Fable was the turning point for me of "oh I feel so bad for him and wanna know more about him" and now I really enjoy his character! Not just because his personality has become/is becoming so Oscar-like -- I enjoy Beacon Oz a lot more now as well :D I wish we'd gotten more insight to him during the lost fable, since they asked what Ozpin was hiding and we mostly got a story about Salem (and zero Ozpin lmao)

[@craig3240]

Yes same thing with me! I was just focused on the girls in the early volumes. I didn't realize until the whole Oz/Oscar thing occurred, that I actually started to appreciate him (without knowing) when giving the speech to the different schools and academies visiting Beacon. I had a whole appreciation and love for Shannon's voice and performance; and of Ozpin being just so wise and cool all the time. He actually became my favorite of all the characters.

[@TaigaClaws]

I latched onto him immediately, seemed like he had way more knowledge than he let on, plus his playful nature despite knowing his future demise is amazing.

[@SunnyC.D.A221]

When I learned Shannon Mccormick voiced Ozpin and Washington, I now say "Shut up Wash" whenever Ospin Speaks... Which is weird because I saw RWBY first before Red vs Blue

[@HyperfixationStation]

Oscar flourished in v6-8 (especially the Atlas arc!) and it's only made my love for him grow exponentially. I really enjoy his and Oz's back-and-forth, and I'm glad to see that Oscar's still getting plenty of time to shine and make his own choices even after Oz's return. Their dynamic has changed so much it's wild!

[@curvingfyre6810]

this show has always been carried by the audio. We all know the tunes. Cringe or not, the early team's voice acting was realistically teenage and awkward, and their voice skills matured with the character's own maturity. Others were instant hits like ozpin and qrow. The only L I've seen so far was reverting jaune's older voice. And his volume 9 drip in general. Take away the lines by all means, but let the man strut.
