Corpse Husband is one of the most unique people to have ever played Among Us, since all of his content before participating in the trend was entirely different.

The videos he made over the course of the five years prior to his massive popularity boost were all of a similar nature: reading horror stories that were posted online. These videos had a good amount of success tied to them, but his viewership truly came when he shocked the streamer world with his incredibly low voice.

Many couldn't believe that what they were hearing wasn't a voice modulator, with almost every streamer giving a huge reaction to his incredibly unique voice. While his debut created a stir online, many were surprised that he was an incredibly nice guy, despite the menacing voice.

The first video he posted on Among Us gained an overwhelming amount of support, which at this point in time has just over 30 million views.

While this massive increase in popularity was aided by the trend, many kept watching his videos for a variety of reasons, one definitely being his voice. Many found the editing style very pleasing, while others loved Corpse's sense of humor.

He streams infrequently due to health issues, but whenever he does stream there's always a massive turnout, with tens of thousands of people joining the stream to watch their favorite faceless personality.

While it's hard to find a true scope on how he has used the increase in fame, as he has only uploaded two videos since the Among Us era has ended, it's undeniable that he was able to acquire a large following from the trend and keep a large portion of it.

While each of these streamers were certainly aided by playing an extremely popular game like Among Us, it's very clear that they've been able to take on the newfound audience and keep them entertained, truly showcasing that all three of these people are more than just "Among Us streamers."
