LilyPichu's voice-acting prowess is one of her lesser-known talents. Beyond the streaming world, she exhibits a remarkable skill for impressions. Notably, she excels at mimicking various Pokemon voices, showcasing her ability to replicate characters like Pikachu and Bellsprout with impressive accuracy.

The streamer extends her talents to encompass anime and cartoon characters (such as Timmy Turner from The Fairly OddParents), and curiously enough, she's proficient at mimicking a toad's voice as well.

While it's widely known that LilyPichu transitioned from Twitch to YouTube in July 2022, few are fully acquainted with the rationale driving her move.

Upon her YouTube debut, the streamer candidly elucidated her decision-making process, shedding light on her perspective. She revealed that her choice was driven by a sense of discontentment with the compensation she was receiving on Twitch:

"I felt like I wasn’t really going anywhere on Twitch... if I’m going to fall off, I might as well fall off on YouTube where I get paid, so yeah."

Another motivating factor behind the transition was her newfound opportunity to invest more substantially in her musical journey. By entering into a contract with YouTube, she could allocate greater resources and focus on her musical endeavors.
