The History of Imp's Original Voice Actor

[Raymond Miller's YouTube Channel PFP]

"I rather think that archives exist to keep things safe - but not secret." — Kevin Young

Welcome To My Little World! ^^ (2014-2016)

For those who don't know, Raymond Miller was Imp's original voice actor before Soggy Echidna. He's also a music composer, voice actor, and audio producer. Before Twelve (2014-2016), Raymond Miller was making his own original music, song commissions, and created fan-made soundtracks for series such as Guns of Icarus, Seeker, Chasm Crossing, and even Warrior Cats. He also does song covers for How To Train Your Dragon, The Legend Of Spyro, I Am Dust, and 'Faster Than You' from MLP. Raymond would host MAPS throughout his time, and would create scores for other people's MAPS. Of course there's more than what's mentioned, but these are prominent examples of what he likes to do for fun. Here's the full archived list of Raymond Miller's work if you're interested. Interestingly enough, he auditioned over 19 roles before he secured the role for Imp, and became involved in 5 more projects before the early 2020's. He had a soundcloud where he uploads his covers and soundtracks, but the storage limit was getting full, and so the songs were uploaded onto YouTube under Raymond Miller or @RaymondMillerArtist. Additionally, back in 2014, there was a final college project where the person made a short film using traditional hand-drawn animations. Utilizing over 500 pieces of paper within countless hours, but Raymond Miller helped making the background music hours before the due date. In one occasion, like many others back in 2014, made a video of himself performing the Ice Bucket Challenge, and did it to bring awareness to the ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) disease, and provided information and donate links to it. Note: There was a trend for the Ice Bucket Challenge to do it to help people with ALS.

Practical Trickster And Full-Time Reaper (2016-2021)

On March 29, 2016, Raymond Miller saw a project called 12 (At the time, Twelve was originally named '12'), and thought the story had some true potential, and so he tossed his hat into the PetPyves ring, and did a voice audition for 12's major character, Imp.

['12 Audition: Imp' Raymond Miller's Audition Video]

When the casting calls came to an end, it was between him and Devon Black (Who soon played Cypress), and it was such a close call that Devon Black almost took the role. PetPyves couldn't decide who she should pick, and contemplated on "closing my eyes and spinning the wheel". Instead, she thoroughly looked through Ray's past auditions and work ethic, but what Raymond Miller did that made PetPyves sold was his laughs and improvised puns. The way he did it captured the impish energy Devon Black couldn't pull off, and so Raymond Miller secured the role of Imp.

What made this decision so difficult was Devon's interpretation of Imp. He stood out from Raymond because he can get into the psychology of any character "within a flick of a switch", figuring out the quirks, flaws, and was able to portray Imp in a unique light. On a physiological level, Devon can play Imp better than Raymond ever could. Throughout the speedy production of Twelve, Raymond Miller and his character became an instant favorite. Everyone flooding him with love and appreciation every second he stepped into livestreams, social media platforms, and events from the cast. There was such a special bond between him and Petpyves; they considered each other as brother and sister. He cared so much for her and all cast members, and was considered one of the most hard working people in their lives. Everyone would call him extremely humble, caring, loving, and such an amazing guy to be around with. The bond is unique and truly something to be said here. It can't be described as to how much Ray was loved by not just the cast, but by every single fan in the community.

The Raymond Miller Incident (Mid 2021)

On September 15, 2021, Raymond Miller was suddenly removed from not only Origins, but on every single project he was currently working on. Within a single day, he vanished off the internet as if he never existed. It is apparent Raymond Miller was grooming a child behind the scenes for a while, and somehow someone leaked the text messages on Twitter which caught him red handed. In the most extreme attempts, PetPyves has suppressed everything involving Raymond Miller, through deleting comments, giving dead-end answers, and leaving the entire community clueless on why he's gone. She obviously did this as an attempt to "protect her audience" (Despite the fact her entire series, and future projects are about traumatic childhood experiences and adult-themed topics). After The Incident, Imp went from being the most beloved to universally hated. According to the audience, they claim it's because of Imp's character being evil thanks to Origins, and the fact he was considered "overrated". If you ask me, it's because The Incident painted such a horrible picture on Imp that despite being completely replaced, the damage made can never be fixed, no matter how hard you try sweeping it under the rug. Between late 2024 and early 2025, Raymond Miller's YouTube Channel, Instagram, Twitter, and Soundcloud accounts were deleted. Leaving his Casting Call Club account being the only proof of his online presence. Making it extremely hard to track any history of his whereabouts during Twelve's prime days (Hence the creation of this article to bring awareness and closure). Thankfully, all his videos and his involvements are archived in The Wayback Machine. Unfortunately, the impact nearly killed the series as PetPyves promised to complete Origins, but in the form of storyboards to cheapen and complete the series faster.

Recasting The Reaper (2021-Present)

On December 22, 2021, Imp is being recasted for a reboot of Origins. A complete shock as everyone thought the series was permanently reduced to storyboards. To their surprise, SoggyEchidna (Who also voices Devo, Simon's young brother) was cast as the new Imp for Origins Rebooted.

This version of Imp fleshed out a more hyper, punny, and flamboyant side of Imp. With his redesign choices being suggestions from fans (Such as the freckles throughout the body). Interestingly enough, Joshua Galvan VA is Imp's new understudy. Naturally, this current version is praised by fans, and Soggy is given the same love and appreciation as his predecessor.

Raymond Miller may have been swept under the rug these days, but despite everything, his performance, love, and effort towards his role and fellow cast members will never be forgotten by those who remember him.

Whereabouts Of Twelve: Episode 1 Remastered

Back in early 2018, PetPyves have announced a true fully-animated remaster of Twelve: Episode 1, many months after uploading Twelve: The Finale.

Frame-By-Frame

The Remastered is based on the pre-reboot designs (2018-2023), and progress was very slow due to actually animating everything, on top of working on various projects at the same time. She would even work on the Remaster during her streams, and the streams are which not limited to (If you see parenthesis, that means this list isn't complete due to the Streams Highlights list being incomplete.): • Monday Live-Stream #17 When PetPyves was halfway finished, she became dissatisfied with the end result because the animation was "too jagged and rough", and so on September 10, 2019, the entire video was scrapped and reworked from scratch.

Swept Under Our Noses

Ever since 2019, the project forward has been neglected and mostly forgotten. The Remastered was quietly cancelled and moved on to greater pastures. With the current atmosphere of PetPyves' channel, the possibilities of the Remaster's revival are extremely slim, and if it were to be brought back to life, it would be in the form of the reboot designs (2024-Present). The footage you see in streams, and the gifs on this article are the last glances of what could've been Twelve: Episode 1 Remastered.
