Animator Sr Pelo talks inspiration, FNF, the Mokey voice, the internet and more.

There aren't many entertainers as friendly, approachable and effortlessly hilarious as @SrPelo. There, I said it. The Mexican animator and voice actor has amassed a cool four million subscribers on the YouTubes, BUT! He'll be the first to say it's not about that. It's literally just about making people laugh and having fun. He's got content of all kinds, from colorful and polished (Spooky Month) to total shitpost fever dream (Mokey Show, X Is...). He streams sometimes too, although not as much as I thought, apparently.

@VoicesByCorey and I (@Will) got to chat with Pelo on Thursday night, 2/11. I gotta say that the crowd listening live that night was huge, and also super supportive, props to the guy's fanbase for being amazing. After talking a bit about sports or whatever, we got into the origin of his style, his inspirations, his characters, his involvement with Friday Night Funkin, and what it's like to voice Mokey. We also touched on the Twitter weirdness he found himself wrapped up in with Egoraptor back in 2019, and while he didn't have to say anything about it with us, he actually talked us through the whole thing and gave us an amazing look into what it was like from his perspective. We closed it out with some questions from the chat, and he even stayed in our public voice channel for a bit afterwards and hung out with the crowd. 10/10, five stars, would do again.
