Vox Machina began as the adventuring party in Critical Role, the long running tabletop roleplay show, before becoming the animated series The Legend of Vox Machina in 2022. The bard became one of the group's most quoted comic figures, known for songs, spells and loud reactions. Clips of his dramatic outbursts were later cut into short audios and shared on soundboards and in fan edits. This scream kept circulating because it works outside the show too, as a ready made reaction for evil plans, bad rolls and theatrical fails.
