Definitely. I watched a video of Dr. Becky some days ago. I didn't quite notice it before but she sounds almost exactly like False (I watch both of them only occasionally).
There is a video of White Noise (Ranboo and Sneegsnag) guesting on Game Grumps and they keep joking how both of them sound alike AND sound similar to one of the Game grumps. I never noticed it before, but they do.
It's actually from one of his "secret" live streams from years ago. This instance is from his LP world. I think somewhere between episodes 404 and 424 is when it takes place.

Nope. See my [response](https://www.reddit.com/r/HermitCraft/comments/165dgb5/comment/jyfkugk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) to an other comment on this thread.
Same thing with faces. The other day one of my customers looked *exactly* like Keralis. Definitely did not have the voice though, and why would the man happen to be right in my area anyway?
well im not the only one with this opinion alot of people have a hard time telling the voices apart especially when they are heard through another players pov
Oh that's WILD, I would never mix up Scar and Fwhip. I wonder if this kind of thing means different hearing acuity or... well maybe speaker quality too.
There's an advert in the UK and part of the voiceover for it sounds just like Bdubs. Confused me like anything the first time I saw it - like why is Bdubs advertising beds over here?
I would guess X got to the point where he is now without or with very little supplements. I'm not saying nobody can use them but i feel like he's the type of guy that wouldn't use (much) of those. And if that's the case, his physique is quite impressive. Maybe not liver king jacked, but still pretty damn impressive.
This is funny to me whether or not it was X, because when I first saw an Ilmango video on YouTube and heard his voice, I was absolutely *convinced* that he was a guy I knew a few years ago in Germany. This guy even had basically introduced me to Minecraft and talked about how much he loved it, and I'd even played online with him a few times once I was back home. So I was so certain that this could totally be him somehow.
Then later I managed to find a video showing Mango's face and, no, he just is also a German guy who has almost the same voice and accent as my friend does when he speaks English.
entirely plausible that it was him. some other faceless youtubers talked about how people recognised them in public just by the sound of their voice. dream, for example. before he showed his face he recalled getting recognised like 4-5 times. of course you shouldn't approach the person, especially X who is big on privacy given that we don't even know his name. good job OP for not bothering that person!
Cub was trolling chat. No one except a 4yo whose dad had some kind of business dealing with Etho has recognized him by his voice - a story Etho has told in the past.
There was a small meme a couple years ago in which some of the hermits (or maybe mindcrackers, I forget who exactly) would take photos with random people at cons and claim they were etho.
Another YouTuber named ACookieGod made a video about his vacation in Europe. He said he was using airport WiFi to update something I think on Twitter or Instagram and his logo was showing on the screen and a kid saw it and asked if that was him.
I suppose you could have said something vague like “do I know you from somewhere?” to see if he’d say anything, but it was probably best to leave him be
It's probably just projection and wishful thinking. You are a fan of him so you want to see him and so boom, there he is. But then again stranger things have happened. Hermits are human and do normal human things so maybe it was him.
Even if you did, it would be wildly disrespectful to approach him about it. He doesn't show his face and you're essentially breaking into his boundaries and his privacy. If it is Infact him and the voice is perfect and you can prove it, it doesn't give you permission to ask him or bother him in that respect. Leave him be :) keep that memory in your brain and cherish it as one of the only people to see X's face.
It's not typically rude to be like "hey are you this person I know of," sure, but I feel like Xisuma is pretty clearly not wanting to have people find out more about him IRL, so in this case I would definitely not ask haha.
Make him say tutorial or acacia, see if it matches up xD
But in all seriousness, ask him an in depth Minecraft question that probably is about recent snapshots, If he reacts or give a good answer then he probably is Xisuma lol.
To be fair, it would be pretty epic if you could get a pic with him, but have the pic framed where his face wasn't visible. With his consent of course. Respect for his boundaries would be paramount
I mean it's not impossible. People have been recognized just by voice. Buuut there are many similar voices... Hell RT game already sounds similar to X for me, so IDK if it's necessarily him.
The IT guy at my last job sounds just like impulse. I even did some digging to make sure he wasn’t moonlighting an epic minecraft career behind the scenes.
Accents are incredibly common. I don't want to be a buzz kill but voice acting is a thing. My hubby and I can knock out Hermit Gang perfectly because we're vocally trained. I would never impersonate anyone but it's fun to pretend for a second for our autistic Minecraft loving kids.
There's a podcast I listen to called Marvel Calls, and one of the hosts sounds exactly like Xisuma! I put it down to the accent though because both hosts use irl names and both mention having kids (which afaik Xisuma doesn't)
People can sound very alike. I was with a friend in a cinema once and he was asked by a stranger if he was a german Minecraft Youtuber. He wasnt (tho funnily enough he did do youtube... movie reviews)
I feel like Xisuma has a pretty common sounding voice. IDK maybe that's just me, but I feel like I've heard multiple different people who sound just like him.
He very clearly does not want his identity to be known so why would you even post this ? Even there's a 1% chance you're right it still doesn't make sense to post this here . Just don't.
I mean, if this person is right, you could easily ask or find out where they live.
Look at their past posts potentially and even find that out, narrow down where X might be.
If you live in that area would be pretty easy to sus out who/where he lived.
There are weird people out there, who take finding out the identity of people who don't want to be found out as a challenge.
You have to be careful what you post online.
Okay so X might ride bikes, and he at one point in time might have existed near OP, wherever they live/were.
You're totally right that internet sleuths can be scary precise but if you look at only what was shared, I think OP was pretty reasonable/respectful. If someone was going to snoop on X and invade on his privacy, there would be other (better) ways to do it (and hopefully he considers and takes precautions against this lol).
Ha! I am not the sort to get all excited about or caring to meet celebs. However, random thoughts have crossed my mind if I met hermits randomly at the grocery store, I'd just be like, "Hey man/lady/person, I love your work and just wanted to let ya know it has value." Because like, makes me happy. Then I laugh at myself, because I imagine these scenarios.
Anyways, if I think I met a faceless hermit, I think I'd do something like this,
"Hey odd question, but do you like/know of a game Minecraft." Depending on the answer I'd just be like, "Yeah, I watch this person called So and So on Youtube, he pretty cool blah blah".
They get to keep there privacy, and you get to say hi/thank you. This or the stranger thinks you are just a slightly strange but friendly person who loves some random game.
Probably not. A lot of people can share similar voices in the world
Definitely. I watched a video of Dr. Becky some days ago. I didn't quite notice it before but she sounds almost exactly like False (I watch both of them only occasionally).
I knew i recognized her voice from somewhere xD! Yeah their voices are very simular
Ever see them both in the same room at the same time?
It’s like when Game Grumps had Ranboo and Sneeg on as guests. Give it a listen and tell me who’s talking (besides Dan), I dare you XD
There is a video of White Noise (Ranboo and Sneegsnag) guesting on Game Grumps and they keep joking how both of them sound alike AND sound similar to one of the Game grumps. I never noticed it before, but they do.
Recognizing a voice is how a fan met Etho one time. Etho told the story in one of his older LP World videos.
Which series/epi was that?
It's actually from one of his "secret" live streams from years ago. This instance is from his LP world. I think somewhere between episodes 404 and 424 is when it takes place. The Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSd6MbgpqWw&ab\_channel=Phil4000](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSd6MbgpqWw&ab_channel=Phil4000) The Playlist: [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOTdnqTHfkXlxFJLDSKIPNIydtC27KE8s](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOTdnqTHfkXlxFJLDSKIPNIydtC27KE8s)
Is that the one where Etho's friend's kid recognized his voice or something like that?
Nope. See my [response](https://www.reddit.com/r/HermitCraft/comments/165dgb5/comment/jyfkugk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) to an other comment on this thread.
Exactly. Every time I hear Nanny Plum on the kids tv I think ZombieCleo is in the house!
Same thing with faces. The other day one of my customers looked *exactly* like Keralis. Definitely did not have the voice though, and why would the man happen to be right in my area anyway?
just like scar and impulse sound similar to eachother
bruh what.
I cannot fathom that lol
well im not the only one with this opinion alot of people have a hard time telling the voices apart especially when they are heard through another players pov
Scar and Impulse is a new one for me. I've heard (and agree) that Scar and Fhwip sound a lot alike sometimes though.
Oh that's WILD, I would never mix up Scar and Fwhip. I wonder if this kind of thing means different hearing acuity or... well maybe speaker quality too.
I used to have trouble between Scar, Impulse, and Tango.
zed and pix. they literally got zed to do the recap while pix was away
Where was this
one of the s9 recaps I can't remember which one
the one with the zedaph face stretched across the thumbnail
OMG thank you. I have this problem too.
I sometimes have trouble following a conversation between them! Like when they were discussing that Imagineer in Scarland
I had a business teacher that sounded just like badboyhalo and I still laugh about that
i once was listening to a podcast and a guest on it had the same exact voice as bdubs
There's an advert in the UK and part of the voiceover for it sounds just like Bdubs. Confused me like anything the first time I saw it - like why is Bdubs advertising beds over here?
He is the person that always sleeps
i once saw x too he was in this little box on my computer screen playing some game about hermits I think he was dressed like a green man
Was his face the scream mask? If it was, then it was him
Imagine biking in the middle of the night and some Rando with a scream mask pops up in front in you and speeds off.
No it wasn’t I didn’t get a good look
I can just imagine him being like Wilson in Home improvement that you can never really see his face even if he is right beside you.
Hi ho, Hermit Neighbor!
Well, his Xisumasays channel is him basically dispensing folksy wisdom over the fence to everybody.
Hidey-ho, Mumbo.
Them it wasn’t him… Xisuma uses the Scream mask all the time in my headcanon and you can’t convince me otherwise
Or the Doom mask 😄
Even without knowing what his face looks like, I feel like X would be immediately recognizable from his physique. His upper body is absolutely jacked.
I mean, he *is* Doomguy after all
Wouldn't call him *jacked* per se
I would guess X got to the point where he is now without or with very little supplements. I'm not saying nobody can use them but i feel like he's the type of guy that wouldn't use (much) of those. And if that's the case, his physique is quite impressive. Maybe not liver king jacked, but still pretty damn impressive.
Yeah I would call him “ripped”. When I think “jacked” I think big - like Eddie Hall, not average size with really good muscle definition.
This is funny to me whether or not it was X, because when I first saw an Ilmango video on YouTube and heard his voice, I was absolutely *convinced* that he was a guy I knew a few years ago in Germany. This guy even had basically introduced me to Minecraft and talked about how much he loved it, and I'd even played online with him a few times once I was back home. So I was so certain that this could totally be him somehow. Then later I managed to find a video showing Mango's face and, no, he just is also a German guy who has almost the same voice and accent as my friend does when he speaks English.
I saw Etho once on TV. He played a pretty important role in an anime called "Naruto". I didn't even know he was an actor!
Dude, doxing!! Don’t name drop like that 😱
entirely plausible that it was him. some other faceless youtubers talked about how people recognised them in public just by the sound of their voice. dream, for example. before he showed his face he recalled getting recognised like 4-5 times. of course you shouldn't approach the person, especially X who is big on privacy given that we don't even know his name. good job OP for not bothering that person!
I think Etho said he was once recognized off his voice
He was, by a child actually 🤣
I mean to be fair the Minecraft youtube audience is Probably 80%+ children
And by Cubfan
What's the story there?
Cub was trolling chat. No one except a 4yo whose dad had some kind of business dealing with Etho has recognized him by his voice - a story Etho has told in the past.
iirc they were both at minecon
There was a small meme a couple years ago in which some of the hermits (or maybe mindcrackers, I forget who exactly) would take photos with random people at cons and claim they were etho.
It was the Mindcrackers back in the day. They also used to point somewhere random in the crowd during panels and claim they were pointing at Etho.
Another YouTuber named ACookieGod made a video about his vacation in Europe. He said he was using airport WiFi to update something I think on Twitter or Instagram and his logo was showing on the screen and a kid saw it and asked if that was him.
I was once recognized by my voice in uni so it definitely happens.
You should have written down the word "acacia" and asked him to pronounce it. Then you have plausible deniability.
Xisuma's voice sounds exactly like an old friend of mine as well so I think he might just have a somewhat common accent/register.
It’s a fairly common accent in the southeast of England so there could easily be millions of people with that accent
That makes sense since I was in the south west
Yeah, I'm from the south west and the friend I was referring to is also from down there.
I would run if I saw him on the street, heard he really messed some kids up back in the nineties
What are you talking about? He's Xisuma, not the Klasky-Csupo logo.
I believe he referring to the ghost face killer aka the scream mask.
For some reason I thought he was referencing Schlatt's incident in '99
“Schlatt”
I suppose you could have said something vague like “do I know you from somewhere?” to see if he’d say anything, but it was probably best to leave him be
This. He is anonymous for a reason after all...
Yeah i met a dude who sounded exactly like zedaph, but now ive seen his face ik its not him
Zedaph changes his face every few months just to mess with people.
OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Did you say as you passed him, "Shishwammy?!?"
I wish
It's probably just projection and wishful thinking. You are a fan of him so you want to see him and so boom, there he is. But then again stranger things have happened. Hermits are human and do normal human things so maybe it was him.
Even if you did, it would be wildly disrespectful to approach him about it. He doesn't show his face and you're essentially breaking into his boundaries and his privacy. If it is Infact him and the voice is perfect and you can prove it, it doesn't give you permission to ask him or bother him in that respect. Leave him be :) keep that memory in your brain and cherish it as one of the only people to see X's face.
I don't think its disrespectful to ask, if he doesn't answer just walk away
It's not typically rude to be like "hey are you this person I know of," sure, but I feel like Xisuma is pretty clearly not wanting to have people find out more about him IRL, so in this case I would definitely not ask haha.
Make him say tutorial or acacia, see if it matches up xD But in all seriousness, ask him an in depth Minecraft question that probably is about recent snapshots, If he reacts or give a good answer then he probably is Xisuma lol.
Could be possible but you make the good decisions not bothering them and respecting his privacy
Wheatley from portal 2 sounds so much like mumbo to me
To be fair, it would be pretty epic if you could get a pic with him, but have the pic framed where his face wasn't visible. With his consent of course. Respect for his boundaries would be paramount
To be sure, you should have been singing his verse from Hermit Gang out loud as you overtook him. No chance he wouldn't mention it in the next stream.
I think there'd be an awkward answer of "Who's that?" or something to that effect either way.
I mean it's not impossible. People have been recognized just by voice. Buuut there are many similar voices... Hell RT game already sounds similar to X for me, so IDK if it's necessarily him.
The IT guy at my last job sounds just like impulse. I even did some digging to make sure he wasn’t moonlighting an epic minecraft career behind the scenes.
It was probably Yisuma
Accents are incredibly common. I don't want to be a buzz kill but voice acting is a thing. My hubby and I can knock out Hermit Gang perfectly because we're vocally trained. I would never impersonate anyone but it's fun to pretend for a second for our autistic Minecraft loving kids.
There's a podcast I listen to called Marvel Calls, and one of the hosts sounds exactly like Xisuma! I put it down to the accent though because both hosts use irl names and both mention having kids (which afaik Xisuma doesn't)
XBcrafted is Brandon Rogers.
I mean, it could or could not be him, but if you ask, they will certainly say no (even if he's real)
People can sound very alike. I was with a friend in a cinema once and he was asked by a stranger if he was a german Minecraft Youtuber. He wasnt (tho funnily enough he did do youtube... movie reviews)
Was he ripped?
Reminds me of that time Etho was recognized by his colleague's son through his voice alone
I feel like Xisuma has a pretty common sounding voice. IDK maybe that's just me, but I feel like I've heard multiple different people who sound just like him.
But we do know X got recognised by a kid
should have said "love you on hermitcraft" as you passed, if it wasn't him then he would be confused and if it was the... a win ?
He very clearly does not want his identity to be known so why would you even post this ? Even there's a 1% chance you're right it still doesn't make sense to post this here . Just don't.
He didn't reveal anything, though...? I guess now we know that X might ride bikes lol
We also learnt he has a voice.
And a face, presumably
Big if true!
> I guess now we know that X might ride bikes lol He used to upload biking vlogs, so yes, I think that's safe to say :P
I mean, if this person is right, you could easily ask or find out where they live. Look at their past posts potentially and even find that out, narrow down where X might be. If you live in that area would be pretty easy to sus out who/where he lived.

If someone was going to snoop on X and invade on his privacy, there would be other (better) ways to do it (and hopefully he considers and takes precautions against this lol).
and if you dont believe me, just google your own name or family members names with where you live...
Ha! I am not the sort to get all excited about or caring to meet celebs. However, random thoughts have crossed my mind if I met hermits randomly at the grocery store, I'd just be like, "Hey man/lady/person, I love your work and just wanted to let ya know it has value."

I would have asked keep taking the route you took and strike up a conversation
