- (man) Hey... - Hey.
- (man) ...SungWoon. - (ProZD) It's SungWon.
- (man) SangWeen. - (ProZD) SungWon. No G at the end...
- (snickers) - (man) SungWoo!
- (ProZD) SungWon. - This is how people
pronounce my last name. - (ProZD) I sang. I have...
- (man) Sung. - (ProZD) And then,
the past tense of win is...? - (man) Won.
- (ProZD) Good! So, combine them together, you get...
- (man) SoojWin?! - (ProZD) What is wrong with you?!
- (all laugh) - (React) All right. So, you guys
know who that is? - Yeah, SungWon Cho,
also known as ProZD. Yeah. - (React) SungWon Cho,
also known as ProZD on YouTube, is an incredible voiceover actor,
who also has over three million subscribers
on YouTube. First, let's take a look
at his compilation of characters that ProZD has voiced.
Now, these are all him if you can believe it.
- (Ultra-Sam) Nothing to worry about. She's just going to confer
with some colleagues and check-- (door closes)
Okay, let's cut the [censored]. I need you to plug in my wife.
She's right over there. - (Tuca) She's a lamp?
- (Ultra-Sam) She's so much more! - I thought this was BoJack Horseman.
- (Lord Majesty) No. Your debt is the highest that's ever been accrued
in the history of this academy! - (FL4K) The hunt is everything,
and the pack is always ready. This one is eager to please.
- See, now this, I was surprised. I didn't know he voiced
in Borderlands 3. That was pretty cool.
- (Jack Whacky) Welcome to the Wackiest Jaxxies
Under the Heavens Tournament. I see a few familiar faces
in the crowd. - I could hear it in this.
- (King Atlus) I am King Atlus Arcadium Rex, first among
the cosmic powers, god to the gods,
slayers of titans! If I wish these reds and blues dead,
they are dead already! - (React) Can you believe
that those are all voiced by the same person?
- This man's range is wild. - I know for a fact
he has an amazing range. I wanna be a voice actor myself.
I've looked over his demo reels and stuff.
Honestly, I can definitely believe it. - (React) So, ProZD is not only
an awesome voice actor, but he's also a great comedy writer.
Some of his most watched videos are video game parodies.
- (ProZD) Man, the shooting in this is really well-executed.
I love how it feels. - (game) It's time for egg delivery!
- (ProZD) What? - (game) Can you delivery 60 eggs?
- (ProZD) I don't-- I don't want to. - (game) Too bad! It's MANDATORY.
And if you run out of time, you have to start over!
- Oh, like, literally, on my YouTube Recommended,
I'll see his videos, and they're less than a minute long,
but they're all over my Recommended. He's, like, crazy on YouTube.
- (game) It's optional. - (ProZD) Oh, okay.
- (game) Yeah, sure, if you don't care about seeing the true ending.
- (ProZD) All right! I guess I'll... - (Jaxon and Brooke laugh)
- (ProZD) I found all of the eggs. I'm just gonna go back to shoot--
- (game) Give me that [censored]! You don't need
that [censored] garbage anymore! - (React) Are there any video games
that you've ever played that have this sort of same problem?
- HyPixel Skyblock. - Death Stranding.
- I play Animal Crossing. I play Roblox with my friends.
That's about it. It's so bad it's good.
- It's bad, but it's very fun.
- (React) What are you thinking about, like, just his sort of production
of what he's doing here? - Yeah, I think, in acting,
right, you just have to make do with what you have.
I think that's one of the charms of his video is just that
it's not like a big production or anything.
People can relate to that. They feel like they can
do that as well. - (React) So, ProZD
also parodies anime... - Oh, yeah.
- (React) ...with his fan-favorite video series
called Chairem Anime... (ding)
- Chairem... - (React) ...which is a play on
harem anime. To do Tomoko-chan, he puts on drag,
basically a blonde wig to play this character.
So, I'm excited to get your reaction on that.
- I think I've seen some of those before, yeah.
- (ProZD) I have work to do, buuut I'll just watch one episode.
One and done. - (Tomoko) Chair-senpai,
I have a secret, but you can't tell anyone.
About your brother.. it's... it's...
something I'm not gonna say till next episode!
- (ProZD) Right. One more. - (Tomoko) Lamp-senpai, no.
- (Lamp) Don't cry, Tomoko. - (Tomoko) Who did this to you?
- (Lamp) Tomoko, that's a mystery that only you can solve.
- (React) We've talked a little bit about you guys watching anime,
but anime's a little bit like this, right?
- He does the trope super well. It makes sense.
- It's like the episode will end on a cliffhanger,
then the next episode is like a recap of the rest
of the past five episodes. I'm like, "No! No, no, no, no!"
- (React) And if you guys follow his subreddit,
people are REALLY ser-- I mean, they get into the lore,
want it to be real. Is Chairem Anime something
that you guys would watch if they made this for real?
- He could push this out regularly. This is a great idea.
I'm on the marketing team right now. I'm on it. Sounds like fun.
- (React) All right. So, ProZD did a video
for Extra Life charity, which benefits LA Children's Hospital,
where he got a Tomoko-chan makeover that his wife gave him
as a goal to make money for this charity.
- (ProZD) Anne Marie, my wife, proposed this milestone.
And then, I found out today that she says, "Oh, I'm not that good
at makeup." - I love the merch, so cool.
(bell rings)
- (ProZD) The goal today is to transform me into Tomoko-chan.
I was like, "Listen, if that's what you wanna do,
do it. Make me look hot." - (Anne Marie) I've also--
oh, I've never done makeup on another person. (laughs)
- (ProZD) Oh. - That's so tragic.
- (ProZD) Oh! - He really does not wanna
be doing this. - His face is just like...
- (ProZD) Ta-da! - (laughs)
- The wig is so nice now! - (ProZD) Tomoko-chan.
- (Anne Marie) This is the final look. - (ProZD) I'm gonna do this
every time I do a Tomoko-chan video. - (React) He did that all for charity,
which I thought was really cool. When you're doing it for kids
at a children's hospitals, that's a really worth cause.
What do you guys think? - Deep down, he enjoyed that.
You don't get the chance to give charity for makeup.
- (React) Cool. Would you guys ever cosplay as Tomoko-chan?
Or do you cosplay? - I'd do something
where I don't have to do much. Maybe just the outfit.
Maybe not anything with the face or hair. So...
- I mean, if it's for charity, yeah, 'cause I would be down.
- (React) So, what do you think it is about ProZD
that makes him so popular? - Well, I think it's the fact
that he could do such good short form content.
It's really hilarious what he can do,
especially with his voice. Putting all the tropes
that he knows in his head from watching anime into videos,
it just works out really well. - Yeah, I agree with Jaxon,
how he can use all of these different things
and make it into one short video and still make it very funny
and understandable without having it all over the place.
- I definitely agree. I feel like he does what he's good at it.
He knows a lot about anime. He knows a lot about voice acting,
and he just uses that to his advantage.
You're probably not gonna see him doing a makeup video on himself
or something like that. You're gonna see him doing
what he does best. - (React) Do you have a message
for him? - The fact that you're Asian
and you're doing some really cool work,
paving the way for more actors, 'cause my friends who wanted
to be voice actors, but they never really had someone
who had that precedent. And you're someone like that,
so thank you for that. - Love your videos. Keep it up.
Definitely do more parodies of animes. Or it doesn't even have to be anime,
just parodies of video games, shows, movies.
I feel like it would be funny. - You're really cool, man.
Keep up the great work. Keep making money. Become rich.
Love-- lots-- laugh out-- live, laugh, love.
- ProZD, as someone who wants to become a voice actor
and seeing all your stuff online, I really, really, really
enjoy your stuff with the range you bring.
And I just wanna say congrats on having such a great following
on YouTube. And a question I wanna ask you
is what's your favorite anime this season?
'Cause I know you're watching a lot of anime.
