10 Streamers Who Successfully Leveled Up Into Voice Acting
Once upon a Twitch stream, voice over was a distant dream for content creators. But now? The game has changed. Streamers aren’t just gaming or memeing—they’re literally becoming the voices behind the characters we play. Here’s a deep dive into ten streamers who made the transition from hype chats and fan cams to the legit world of anime, video games, and animation voice over work.
1. LilyPichu – The OG Crossover Queen
Lily Ki, aka LilyPichu, didn’t just dip her toe in voice over—she cannonballed into it. Starting as a League of Legends streamer and musician, her soft, childlike voice immediately stood out. She landed the role of Sayu in Genshin Impact, and has since worked on projects like Zodiac Axis and other indie games. Her collabs with Riot and Crunchyroll are proof that she’s not just a streamer playing voice actor—she is a voice actor now.
2. CDawgVA – From Meme Lord to Microphone Monster
Connor Colquhoun, better known as CDawgVA, started on YouTube with hilarious anime skits and voice challenges. Now? He’s voicing actual characters in legit anime like Tribe Nine and Shenmue the Animation. Based in Japan and fluent in weeb culture, Connor’s VO career is thriving thanks to his hybrid content that bridges East and West. He’s also hosted the Crunchyroll Anime Awards, proving he’s got the pipes and the clout.
3. ProZD – The Voice Over Powerhouse in a YouTuber’s Body
SungWon Cho (aka ProZD) might’ve made you laugh with his iconic skits, but he’s also voiced some heavy hitters. We’re talking Detective Joe Furuya in Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Flack in Borderlands 3, and characters in Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and One Piece. His range is insane, and unlike many, his VO career is as respected as his content creator side.
4. Nux Taku – Chaos Gremlin with a Mic
Nux is known for his edgy anime memes and chaotic good vibes on YouTube and Twitch. But behind the trolling, he’s been getting VO gigs—especially in indie anime projects and fan-dubbed content that gained traction. While not on AAA titles yet, he’s positioning himself well in niche VO circles. He’s a wildcard, but one to keep an eye on as the industry loosens its traditional gatekeeping.
5. Nyanners – Pink Cat, Real Talent
VTuber and OG internet legend Nyanners went from parody songstress to real-deal voice actress. Early on, she worked on fan dubs and YouTube skits, but now she’s featured in Smite as a playable voice pack and other official content via VShojo. Her vocal control and character work are evolving fast, and she’s becoming a go-to for stylized, high-energy characters.
6. Bao – The Oceanic Idol Taking On VO
Another VTuber making waves (pun intended), Bao started as a singer with a whale girl persona. Her voice is polished, musical, and naturally expressive. She’s booked roles in indie games, music video narratives, and animated projects. With her connections in both the VTuber and game dev scenes, she’s making her mark in VO with a uniquely melodic angle.
7. Ironmouse – From VTuber to Legit VO Talent
Ironmouse is more than just one of the top Twitch streamers—she’s a former theater kid and aspiring opera singer turned virtual icon. Despite health limitations (she has CVID), she’s voiced characters in indie games, collaborated on animations, and built a recognizable brand that studios now want to work with. Her rapid-fire delivery and emotional range are tailor-made for VO, especially in quirky or dramatic roles.
8. Antfish – YouTuber, Streamer, and Dub Veteran
Anthony “Antfish” Sardinha made his name with parody content on YouTube, especially as part of Team Four Star, voicing characters like Dende and Captain Ginyu in DragonBall Z Abridged. But he’s since leveled up into official anime dubs, voicing Galgali (Violence Fiend) in Chainsaw Man and appearing in My Hero Academia and Black Clover. On Twitch, he streams RPGs and does live VO sessions while sharing real-world industry advice. He’s charismatic, talented, and finally getting the studio cred he deserves.
9. RPR – Apex Skills, Anime Dreams
RPR is a VTuber known for FPS gameplay and fluent Japanese, which opened doors in both Western and Eastern media scenes. He’s participated in Apex Legends voice projects, anime-themed streams, and is eyeing serious dubbing work through Japan-based collabs. With his bilingual advantage, he’s carving out a lane few others can follow.
10. FalseEyeD – Commentary to Character Actor
FalseEyeD runs one of the top VTuber news YouTube channels, but he’s also a budding VO artist. His baritone delivery and dramatic flair are landing him roles in indie titles, especially projects tied to the VTuber community. He’s not mainstream VO yet, but his rise is methodical—and intentional. He’s already caught the eye of dev studios.
Why This Shift Matters
Streamers moving into VO isn’t just a cool flex—it’s a major industry shift. Talent discovery no longer lives in acting schools or closed audition loops. Studios are scouting Twitch and YouTube the same way casting directors used to scout improv theaters. The community is watching, and creators are proving they can build characters and engage audiences before the mic even turns on.
This trend also democratizes VO. It proves that with skill, dedication, and a community, even chaotic meme lords can become legitimate voice actors. And that’s kind of iconic.
These ten streamers prove that voice over isn’t just a backup plan—it’s a natural extension of performance and content creation. Whether they started as meme kings, anime waifus, or full-on pros, they’ve all broken the fourth wall and entered the world behind the voices. The question isn’t whether more streamers will follow—it’s who’s next.
