MIMCUBUS IS GRAND PRIEST?! ISSEI?! SATAN?! OVER 400??!!
*This users brain has currently been blown and is unavailable for the rest of the video*
Once I heard grand priest and Issei My mind was gone. Yet I still don't know who bro is Lmao
THAT'S NOT ALL MIM IS ALSO BYAKUYA TOGAMI IN THE DANGANRONPA ANIME
Once I heard grand priest and tokoyami I sent this to all my friends
You were NICHI HOLLY HELL I love the fight between nichi and Odin were he imitated his masters such good voice acting
I ADORE YOU COTTON!! Thanks so much for having me
This was an awesome collab with Cotton!! Thanks for the funny and amazing content and also providing a lot of memorable voices in your voice over career Mim.
So wait YOU voiced armin 🤯🤯🤯
You're awesome
@@slatd0029 Yup!
This was really eye opening. I'm trying to get my foot in the door in VA, but starting is rough.
Bro, I have seen Mim so many times on Taka's Vtuber show, I legit thought they were just some small indie vtuber. I had absolutely no idea there was such a history behind those chubby blue cheeks
Taka met mim through abridge series stuff (I believe she was yugi in Yu Gi Oh abridge) so it’s surprising that people only really know them for their indie work. Still didn’t know she voiced so many characters.
Tbf, Mim kept her IRL identity a secret until VERY recently when her IRL self finally came out as trans after doing Mim for 2 years. Mim is what allowed her to realize this is truly who she is, perks of vtubing as an LGBTQ individual!
@@Xirvet Cool, didn't know that. Happy for her
@@Xirvetoh this explains it. Last I saw mim they were using a femboy model so I was really confused. Good for them
Yo same.
MIM IS A LEGIT VA...LIKE LEGIT HOLY FUCK!
“I started in Jan 2004”
I immediately took psychic damage, mim’s been VAing for longer than I’ve been alive
Same
I've been playing music longer than you've been alive.
Stuff like that makes me feel old.
Bro i was born that month. On that year!
Same, I was born 2 months later
This might be the craziest range of a VA (at least in english) i ever heard
I mean Tara Strong has a crazy range and a shit ton of characters
@@TheAyanamiRei but to be objective, 90% of Tara's stuff still sounds like her. 12:17 and 16:41 are just straight up unrecognizable.
@@catmandu5226 Okay, fair. I suppose more accurate to say she's done a long list of characters, rather than a truly diverse voice range
Ever heard of a man named Mel Blanc?
Mim voicing Issei in DxD literally saved anime. What a crazy talented va
MIM DID WHAT???
For the longest time since I've discovered Mim, I was completely thrown through a loop.
Literally carried the voice of Issei through DxD S3.
That Juggernaut Drive... *chef's kiss*
HOLY CRAP I KNEW IT!!!
I'm happy that Grelle was able to take over since the original English VA of issei Hyodo committed a serious crime and was caught with PDF
WAIT FUCKING WHAT???
I have so much respect for Mim! They’ve been voice acting for TWO DECADES! And they has so much range! Thoroughly impressed with their work!
Mim’s advice for making sure that you have a full 9-5 job while pursuing VA is SO legit. Like, I’m very much still in the beginning stages of my VA career, and I’ve been taking lessons since 2020! However, because I have a teaching job, I have a stable source of income while I start to slowly dip my toe in the industry. Plus, I like teaching, so if VA doesn’t end up working out, I’ve got a job I like!
Follow your dreams! Best of luck!
Thank you for loving your job. We need more teachers that love their job. But I hope you get some VA work
Gl
She has been doing this longer than I have been alive for 😭 shout out to all 04 babies we turning 20 this year
Oh dear born in '04?
*turns into '95 dust*
Yo our age looking a bit too serious this year
2004 right here
I felt like I got slapped.
I feel more like an honourary 45 year old
I knew Mim was Yuri.
I knew Mim was Armin.
I did not know Mim was the Grand Priest.
Such incredible range
how about issei
I'm confused, she's Josh grelle?💀
@@mauricejohnson2351 jessie james grelle yes
@@UIRyujin holy fuck😭 she's a legend
I felt a flashbang go off when Mim started talking as the Grand Priest.
I was gonna say "I think she is the oldest vtuber I've ever heard of" then I remember that there is a Japanese vtuber who is a grandma irl so nvm
oh god noooooo ;.;
@@Mimcubusyou are amazing tho ty for your va work 😁🙏
@@Mimcubus You have been declared OLD, Mim.
she definitely is one of the certified hags of the english side of vtubing
I’m SORRY?
What an insanely talented and skilled VA, the voices are so different and unique, incredible range and control too, bamboozled everytime she mentioned a new character she voiced
That moment you realized you've been hearing mim all your life
My jaw fell and I got totally stunned for like 30 seconds when mim said she was Kenichi That show was such a huge part of my child hood!
I saw Mim's intro video when they announced becoming a vtuber where they said they did lots of anime dubs. But little did I imagine they voiced some of my favourites animes. Holy shit that's so cool
I couldn't imagine having to voice issei from highschool dxd. Just saying most of the lines and not laughing must have been hard.
It's crazy that I'm 20 years old and this girl's been doing this since 2004, damn... You know, being a voice actor in modern age doesn't sound too bad at all, it might take practice, but it might be worth it.
Heads up, mimcubus uses she/they pronouns
@@vorticaldragonsliteral Insanity
@@BeautifulGreen252 womp womp
@@BeautifulGreen252 Yeah i know, Mim is an insane voice actor, and I wish i was able to be that talented!!
Mim aint a guy lol
Mim is so sweet! Love them so much! Alls didn’t realize she voiced half of my favorite characters
This person is basically why I watch anime in dub. Mim is up there for me as one of the greats.
Vtuber I've never heard of. Check. Is a professional voice actor. Check. Is...every goddamn neat character. Check.

mims has done some of my fav roles and has been doing since I was 12
her range and her resume are mindboggling
she's absolutely legendary and crazy adorable
i adore her 🩵💜
Man, Mim will make the best old lady on a porch. I’m calling it now
GARSP!
My jaw not just dropped at that bombshell of info... it SHATTERED into pieces. Holy crap... 20 years.
That one question she read about tone pitch and sound fucking sent me. That was incredible! 👏👏👏👏
A few things!
1: I love how much cotton is freaking out in this video especially hearing her quietly freaking out in the background as mim reads the questions in different voices
2: “you keep pulling things out of your titties!” cotton REALLY knows how to do gender affirmations
3: mim is so god damn lucky for having cotton call her a good girl!
Thank you Mim for nailing the best opening line in all of anime from Issei. I watched the dub and loved it
holy vocal range batman!!!!!!!!
This has gotta be a good thing to watch for future voice actors to know.
Mim gives me chills, such an amazing person and wildly diverse vocal talent.
She voices SO MANY of our favorite characters. Love you Mim.
The number of roles Mim has done in anime as a whole(just looked it up), much of the anime which I've seen atleast once, has made my brain bluescreen!
This was alotta fun to watch as someone whom longs to be a voice actor in any capacity
Mim is actually Jessie James Grelle, in the en VA community its JOSH GRELLE!!! They only recently revealed their identity as mim in 2024.
I am officially Jessie James Grelle both in VA community
Rumors say the man known as Josh Grelle retired from voice acting and started a llama farm out in Argentina
Ah
the diverse array of voices that Mimcubus can do somehow infuriates me. I see this video, search up the fella and then realise they have a really interesting biography
Holy hell, took me a minute to realize they’re Josh (Jessie now, didn’t realize name change) Grelle. So much of their work is so awesome.
As a wannabe full time actor / voice actor i hope i still can get in before its to late...
revel us your secrets!
god, mim is such a skilled voice actress, the range on her is incredible. i guess that’s what ya get for essentially bein an actor ya whole life. such an inspiration
Never heard of them before but I am as impressed by all the roles they have and I love them sm now
Absolutely love seeing Cotton and Mim do this together! And many thanks to Mim for all their past roles, giving us so many amazing memories!!!
Mim has the most vocal range and skill I've ever seen, it's so inspiring!
"We lived like we had no money~" "~on a horse ranch in the middle of Texas." lol.
9:58
Living on a horse ranch does not equate to owing that horse ranch.
@@Ziergon fam existing on a horse ranch requires more money that like 30% of people can spare gtf over yourself
Just one sentence lets you know how big and also humble Mim is.
“Something that my friend, Ian Sinclair, taught me.”
Mim’s also the protagonist from Infinite Stratos which was one of my very first anime
Loved all the roles as the protagonists in Baka and Test, Freezing and the Future Diaries
Kenichi and Issei, Mim really is an impressive va. Just looked it up and their filmology runs deep.
YIPPEE!
I met Mim at WeebCon, she was so dang sweet and she looked so pretty too! She was incredibly kind to talk to for the brief time I had with her at her table. Her line was INCREDIBLY LONG.
Would definitely meet her again!
Mim is/was the grand Angel in DBS?! Wow!
As for Mim…YOU ARE ACTUALLY THE GOAT!!!
LIKE SERIOUSLY!!! YOU ARE SO FREAKING TALENTED! (and I mean like, all your practice really payed off!)
Your range is so good that I genuinely could not tell one voice from the other!
Like…WOW!!!
It's so cool that Mimcubus voiced Kenichi, I always watched that anime with my brother a long time ago.
Definitely plan on buying the Blu-ray sooner or later because I miss watching it.
Mind...freaking...blown...never knew Mim was the voice behind those characters... (☆.☆)
Love mim and knew they were skilled, but I didn't realise how many things I'd heard their work in. Incredible talent.
I know this was meant to be filmed, but it's always neat to get insight on behind the curtain stuff. Mim has been an inspiration of mine for a while, even before I knew characters had real people behind them. This was a great listen
Yooooo she has done some of my absolute favorite roles! Thanks for this miss Bunbun 🙏🏻💙 And thanks Mim!😊
Man when you said you were having a professional VA I didn’t expect you to have one so famous! This guy is amazing and often makes the whole show!
Tokoyami is my favorite anime character!!! He's just so cool!!!!
1:52 THE WHAT????
I've heard so many of these stories where people discovered and were supported in their passion very early on and have become successful at it so I've tried to encourage my kids to do the same.
I've followed Mim for a while. They've always been one of my favorite vtubers since they did the Tim Curry voice from Rocky Horror Picture Show on one of Taka's streams.
How did I not know that Mim voiced acted for SEVERAL OF MY FAVORITE ANIMES and did not know until now
Always thought about doing VA, but I’ve settled for just confusing people by switching accents from Irish to German to Russian to Cockney to Scottish and so on. But I do it sort of gradually and subtly and just watch the confusion sort of wash over their face in phases.
Holy crap Mim is talented
Who knew Mim made up a good 20% of my anime dubs?
The moment I heard Yuri on ice I heard issei. It was probably MY first anime since a family member showed me some but did dub was my first proper anime along side fairytale. I had no idea you where a content creator 😭 imma sub rn!
I hear you in so many anime’s in dub and go “oh hey issei”
Started at 2004? DAMN. People born at that time are full fledge adults now
I was amazed to find out that mimcubus played all of these iconic roles
I did like that Mim made that mention of doing what your told by the people who are paying you.
Do what they ask of you and get paid. If the final product goes under cause their idea of the character wasn't enjoyed by the audience that isn't your fault. You did what was ask of you. Don't go in trying to change the lines or the character.
Scott Freeman originally voiced Issei Hyoudou in the dub of the first two seasons. When he was arrested and convicted for possession of child pornography in 2015, Josh Grelle replaced him from the third season onwards.
3:30 Mim was Isseis from highschool dxe English VA?! Wow
Bro when I was a kid, I always tried to mimic voice actors in games
Ex:Dying light, now I’ll never be to the level of Rodger Craig smith, but I was so into it, I turned off his voice in the files, turned on the subtitles and went crazy, I went to efforts too, this was when I was 15, currently in cooleg but man this is super inspiring!
Her male voices are hotter than my fake macho voice 💀
Mim, its mim!
CottontailVA a NSFW voice acting asking a professional voice actor for voice acting secrets crazy Condescending than The voice actor in this is known for works like attack on Titan and My hero academia from my memories
hold the frick up, not me finding out Mim played Itsuki in Initial D... thats pretty dope tbh lol
Holy shit I didn't expect a shout-out to Kenichi the World's mightiest disciple. 😂😂
Back when I first heard Mim do some voices on Taka's channel I remember thinking "Damn that's pretty fucking good"
Turns out there's a very good reason for that- 20 years? 400 anime?? God damn
Ok, Mim is a lot fucking bigger than I thought.
Bro hearing mim at 2:01 reminds me of the voice actress of the scarab in fionna and cake and how much range they both have
Man no idea Mim was one of the best main protagonist VAs from my teens. Legit only knew them as Takas occasional sidekick. 😂
Fun Fact: ever since “Rouge One: A Star Wars Story” (2016), Disney has used AI for Darth Vader’s voice.
Holy fuck, she's got so much range. That's so cool
That's some impressive vocal range
KENICHI!!! I grew up with Ultimate Disciple, that shit was on the weird selection of animes that Netflix had in like 2010 with things like the air skating anime. They’re right Kenichi never shuts up.
MIM WAS KENICHI?!?!?!?
I freaking love this!
Wow, mim started on my birth year and month, holy moly
HOLY CRAP MIM HAS BEEN IN SO MANY OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS WTF.
I swear, all these voices keep catching me off guard
I mean, how tf do you manage to do that 🤯
MIM WE LOVE YOU!!!
Yo... talent comes in all shapes, sizes, and packages. Good on ya and thankyou for your A+ work. Thanks for the vid Cotton and especially all that bangin'... haha she was shocked soooo many times :D
I keep forgetting about the vocal range of Mim until she starts doing the voices.
Bro finding what you want to do so early in your life is so cool. I'm 24 and I have no idea 😂😂
I just blue screen from Mim saying they started voice acting at 2004. And remembering that I was a high school freshman that year. 😳
Fun fact about myself: my first real attempt at voice impressions was actually just mimicking the sound of Herbie the Love Bug’s Volkswagen horn! Even with the different tone shifts and pitch shifts that he does to portray emotion! As well as sound effects in general!
Then when I saw the Short Circuit movies, I began trying to mimic Johnny 5’s voice! Same thing with WALL-E when that movie came out! Then Invader ZIM, (which I would be always trying to perfect my Richard Horvitz voice as I wanted to do genuine animation and voice work of/for Invader ZIM, which also helped me learn how to animate, and sync the frames to music, sound bites, and original recordings of myself doing my ZIM impression!
Then came Plex from Yo Gabba Gabba, and a whole bunch of other random voices!
Oh wait…The Mask! THAT is what inspired me to really stretch my vocal cords! With all the different voices Jim Carrey did in that movie, and what Rob Paulsen expanded on in the cartoon, I was OBSESSED WITH CARTOON VOICES AND JUST EVERYTHING ZANY AND STUFF! I still am to a healthy extent!
Even though I don’t fully consider myself a voice actor, that doesn’t mean I’m opposed to diving deeper into the craft!
What the actual @#!:$ is this!? Actual divinity of voice acting in the virtual flesh!
OMG YESSS OUR QUEEN HAS POSTED
I love Mim so much.
"RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH" Cartman went wild
0:44 i wasnt even born back then...
While I may not be one who’s into the hole vtuber thing mainly because I’m just not that big an anime guy but I will say this video was incredibly helpful and thank you for it, I’m looking into getting into voice work in fact currently working with someone for a project of there’s but anyway again this was very helpful thank you
