Sykkuno and Valkyrae respond to Valorant gamers who asked if they were voice actors
The streamer duo spent hours playing the fast-paced competitive shooter and came across several fans in-game. One particular interaction with fans stood out. Both streamers were recognized as voice actors by some players on their team.
After a player asked the Las Vegas native if he was a voice actor, he replied humbly by stating that he was featured in an anime and redirected the question to Valkyrae:
"Well, well, technically... I mean, technically I was in this one anime, right? Wait, Rae, they're asking if we're voice actors. Yeah, we were in that one! I made like a grunting noise."
The players were elated to hear that they had been matched with prominent personalities. Valkyrae joined in on the conversation by agreeing with Sykkuno's statement.
The former Twitch streamer claimed that their teammates seemed friendly. The conversation continued when he pointed at Valkyrae and mentioned that she had made a grunting sound in the anime as well. Upon hearing this, Valkyrae began acting out her voice lines.
A few minutes later, the YouTube Gaming star realized that one of his teammates AFK (away from keyboard), and he expressed his concern:
"Oh, no, guys. Oh, no. This guy is Googling right now. Look, he is AFK! This guy is pulling up the stream, guys!"
The streamer took the opportunity to make a light-hearted joke:
"This guy is pulling up. Listen, man, if you're watching right now, we're giving away $40 for every kill I get, so uh, let me get some more kills. I'm kidding."
The conversation soon came to a close when Sykkuno stated that he had gotten a hunch that his teammates would begin researching him and his voice acting projects while the match was going on.
