    About Octopimp
    Hey Guys, I’m Octopimp and welcome to my CZcams channel. Here you can find me voice acting, and sometimes playing video games (I’ll occasionally say “let’s play” and upload an anime gameplay). However, my channel is mostly dedicated to my animated series 50% OFF, which is an abridged version of FREE! Iwatobi Swim Club that I’ve lip dub to create an all new hilarious comedy series. If you’re looking for awesome anime cartoons, funny cartoons for adults, satire and parody videos, or original web series then the Octopimp channel is for you! Subscribe and stay up to date on my Anime parody, voice over, and 50 Percent Off videos.

    (This is just something I've noticed, but your voice is GREAT! I couldn't get low enough to do male Eridan, yet I can't find the pieces for the female version.)

    @Astralaeyna Před 10 lety +50

    If memory serves, Feferi points out his accent in one of their conversations, and the Homestuck wiki theorizes his double Vs are likely because in Latin Vs are pronounced like Ws... I still really like your interpretation though.
    nyeh...

  • @plutototoh
    @plutototoh Před 11 lety +4

    I love that you made his voice crack into a higher register when he got flustered/angry. It really point out the fact that they're still teenagers and have been throughout this whole comic. It's just really really great in that aspect and also it suits him so well because it's also dramatic much like him. So I think this is great, best Eridan voice in my book!

  • @liquifiedrat1611

    These FAQ videos are really great! They really help to show off to your viewers that voiceacting is a complicated thing that takes a lot of work and care to do, and that you have a process know what you are doing when it comes to creating voices, even if they don't agree on the outcome. Great work, keep it up!

    I just adooore the way you voice him!! it is just so Eridan. To be honest, he was funny but nothing to special at the beginning (at least for me) and then I heard you and I was in love with the personality you were able to develop. AMAZING JOB!!

    It's cool to see that you put so much thought into this stuff! It really adds a whole other dimension to your videos now that I never thought about. I'm enjoying these videos very much and I look forward to seeing more like this. :)

    xD The "nyeh" rant at the end. Beautiful human being.
    This is awesome. I like seeing how much thought you put into these voices. Do as many as you can! Also, I still say to encourage dustyoldroses and the rest of your VA friendship crew to do these things, too!

    Oh Goodness. xD You're just adorable, ahhh. I love your voice acting skills and I love all the dubs you do, including the non-Homestuck ones. I keep seeing everyone demanding you to do Gamzee or whoever next. I say I'd be pleased to hear about any and next because it's very insightful on how you do your voices! Keep up the good work!

    Omg I love how you break down your voices! This is really great, especially for those looking to voice act :) thanks a lot. Perhaps you should do a Gamzee one next?

    The voice with just the rubbery quality is pretty much my headcanon Eridan. But yeah.
    These videos provide some amazing pointers for aspiring voice actors, and I would love to see more of them :D
