Liam Vickers began his creative journey with projects such as Scary Story Time With Liam, a YouTube series focused on creepypastas, and short indie animations like Gobblety Tobblety and Let’s Split Up. In these early works, he gradually honed his skills as an actor-animator and voice actor, lending his voice to various characters in his own productions. His breakthrough came with CliffSide (2018), where he not only created, wrote, and directed the web-series but also voiced the character Waylon. This multi-role involvement marked the beginning of his signature presence as both a creator and voice acting talent in web animation.
Vickers’ most notable voice actor roles are in Murder Drones, where he voices multiple characters including Riley, Trevor, and Teacher. His ability to deliver distinct voice actor characters across different roles demonstrates a versatile range within the same series.
Unique Voice Style and Acting Techniques
Liam’s voice acting is defined by clarity, emotional expression, and variation. By performing “all characters” he voices with nuance—from the timid Riley to the assertive Teacher—he showcases a broad spectrum of tone, pacing, and character. This adaptability is a hallmark of his style as both a voice actor and actor-creator.
Through Murder Drones, produced by Glitch Productions, Vickers has collaborated closely with independent creators and production teams. His prior works like Internecion Cube and CliffSide also reflect a DIY spirit, where he often served as writer, animator, voice actor, and even composer.
Impact on Online Animation and Web Culture
Murder Drones, which premiered its pilot in October 2021 and released its full run by August 2024, quickly became a celebrated web-series for its post-apocalyptic sci-fi horror-comedy blend. The series’ success—multiple Webby Awards nominations and wins—highlighted its cultural impact, especially in elevating CGI animation quality and narrative depth in independent online productions.
From inception, Murder Drones evolved from Vickers pitching concept art and story ideas to Glitch Productions, to developing a fully produced CGI-animated web-series over several years. He contributed to nearly every aspect of the show: concept art, writing, direction, storyboard, animatics, voice acting direction, and more. His hands-on process reflects deep involvement across all layers of production.
Future Projects and Career Prospects
While CliffSide and Internecion Cube remain unfinished, they continue to inspire anticipation among his fans. Meanwhile, Murder Drones expanded its reach by landing on Amazon Prime Video in May 2025, and a graphic novel adaptation is slated for release in September 2025. These developments suggest a growing trajectory in both mainstream visibility and storytelling formats.
