John Patrick Lowrie (The voice guy for TF2's Sniper) did this live Letter to Celestia reading at MAGFest. TF2 fans will probably find something to enjoy here! Check it out after the break.
Traaaaavis! You're so much like RD, I swear. :p But same for me. I spend most my time with ponies because 80% of my friends are bronies and I have quite a group of friends. I also have some internet friends. And is Will better now?
@Sunset Yes, they had to end up removing a swollen part of his brain so he has some nerve problems now, but around eleven months rehabilitation should help with it a little
John Patrick Lowrie was just doing some fans a nice favor, but I doubt he's seen the show. That could change, though, if he sees this video and the comments and stuff.
And hey, John is married to Ellen McLain, the voice of the Administrator (TF2) and GLaDOS (Portal), who are often compared to Princess Celestia in fan crossover works.
I dunno, all I ever hear when I listen to these voice actors (and by these, I mean pretty much only Lowrie and... whoever voices Duke Nukem, I forget) read brony messages is just hollowness. They have no idea what any of this is about, or if they do, they're not actually interested, they're just doing simple fan service. And that kind of makes me feel a little more sad than if they had just not read them.
I just might have to break out my copy of TF2 and start playing Sniper again now. That was awesome beyond belief. I never would have expected that to happen, not for a second.
I cracked up laughing at this - kept the nice bit of sarcastic cynicism I love about the sniper, well voiced if not a bit unintelligible, and of course there's the crossover. Even if he had no idea what he was really saying, it's damn awesome that he did it for the fans. Love it when VAs do that.
@Jebediah Oldenheimer Just because they don't seem interested in the show doesn't necessarily mean it's by choice. Professionals in their line of work usually keep pretty busy with their careers, so they wouldn't have a whole lot of spare time for checking out or becoming fans of other entertainment they're not professionally involved in.
Being a brony is a luxury not everyone can afford!
That was a lot of fun, but I still don't wanna go for TF2. I tried it for three hours, and I got my ass handed to me so many times I felt really guilty. I love Valve, but TF2 is impossible for me ^_^;
Whether or not the voice actor here is particularly sincere or simply providing us with a gratefully received tid bit of satisfaction, we can all agree that the guy at the end is definetly a brony.

VastaKustutaYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
Don't feed the parasprites
VastaKustutaAwesome! xD
VastaKustutaAnd I have found it; another video that I will probably never get tired of watching. And I don't even play TF2...though that might change.
VastaKustutaI would be surprised if Red Sniper managed to live after reading a letter that long.
VastaKustutaIt's like Christmas morning....
VastaKustutaHah, very nice indeed.
VastaKustutaNow we need one from the guy who does Heavy! :D
This.... this made my night. I can now travel to BroNYCon happy.
VastaKustutaWas good, much like Sniper's new book. Was heavy also. I throw at Spy. He will never walk again.

VastaKustutaYour all prancing around like a bunch of Showponies!
VastaKustutaWait...
You got all self-cautious. No friends it seems.
VastaKustutaRemoved. Become a man for once in you're life.
VastaKustuta@professional brony
VastaKustutaThank you
God that made me laugh XD
VastaKustutaI LOVE IT NEED MOAR
VastaKustuta@AJTheEngineer Is there any reason to not go to BroNYCon happy? The days aren't going by fast enough. I think that's why I can't sleep lately.
VastaKustutaI love you damn bronies.
VastaKustutaSomepony animate this nao! NAO!
VastaKustutaTraaaaavis! You're so much like RD, I swear. :p
VastaKustutaBut same for me. I spend most my time with ponies because 80% of my friends are bronies and I have quite a group of friends. I also have some internet friends.
And is Will better now?
Sunset. You're freinds are you're Internet friends.
VastaKustuta@Sunset
VastaKustutaYes, they had to end up removing a swollen part of his brain so he has some nerve problems now, but around eleven months rehabilitation should help with it a little
@Travis
VastaKustutaThat's good :3
Unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful.
VastaKustutaAnd dj. That's never been done.
VastaKustuta@Beergogglezz lol wut?
VastaKustutaRed Sniper is a brony. It's now canon?
VastaKustutaOMFG...
VastaKustutaIt was beautiful...
SNIPER IS NOW A BRONY
VastaKustutaTHIS IS CANON
@AJTheEngineer
VastaKustutaYou and me both, brother!
Now sniper is my favorite class
VastaKustutaWohOOoo!!!
John Patrick Lowrie was just doing some fans a nice favor, but I doubt he's seen the show. That could change, though, if he sees this video and the comments and stuff.

Pure awesome. Love it!
VastaKustutainb4 butthurt non-brony TF2 fans
VastaKustutanow we cant assume he is a brony yet he was just doing something for the fans but it was fucking incredible
VastaKustutaOh god, the awesomeness has been doubled! xD
VastaKustutaThat. That was amazing. Since I mainly play sniper in TF2, this was just brilliant.
VastaKustuta@DKRF
VastaKustutaIkr? Some of my best scores as well as my most played character goes to Sniper, and this here just makes it all worth it 20% more than before.
When I read the description I was just "What??"
VastaKustutaI'm laughing at the concept as I wait for the video to load. I can't wait to see how this turns out.
....
OH MAN that was the best thing ever! :D
*Spit-take*
VastaKustutaThat was awesome! Now I want to start playing TF2 again.
Ah, sniper one of my favourite classes ^-^
VastaKustutaMy god, sniper really IS a brony!
VastaKustutaAnd he didn't even have to pull his junk out.
VastaKustutaMakin' friends is a good job, mate. Sociable work...out of doors...I guarantee you'll never be lonely!
VastaKustutaBecause at the end of the day, as long as there are two ponies on the planet, somepony is going to want to be somepony's friend.
Haha VERY nice!
VastaKustuta...wait.../RED/ sniper?!
VastaKustutaNOES VALVE FAVORITISM STRIKES AGAIN! BLU IS BEST TEAM.
awesome!!!!
VastaKustutaFriendship is magic?
VastaKustutaNow there's a touchin story.
Oh god, sheer brilliance.
VastaKustutaSniper pony is best pony.
VastaKustutaCanon: RED Sniper is brony.
VastaKustutaI...I'm not sure what to think about that letter, at least it wasn't yellow and slightly soggy.
VastaKustutaI dunno, all I ever hear when I listen to these voice actors (and by these, I mean pretty much only Lowrie and... whoever voices Duke Nukem, I forget) read brony messages is just hollowness. They have no idea what any of this is about, or if they do, they're not actually interested, they're just doing simple fan service. And that kind of makes me feel a little more sad than if they had just not read them.
VastaKustutaSNIPER IS CREDIT TO TEAM
VastaKustutaI just don't know, Jebediah. I squealed like a schoolfilly, man. I've been playing TF2 for about a year now, and this just made my week.
VastaKustuta"Dad...yes, yes I know, Dad...uh, Dad...oh, just put Mum on the phone."
VastaKustutaHOLY JESUS! I'm off to make a gmod video about sniper reading a touching story to Princess Celestia
VastaKustutaThe letter was funny, but one of his "jokes" before that offend me. Not to mention that my littler sister was watching... :(
VastaKustutaI just might have to break out my copy of TF2 and start playing Sniper again now. That was awesome beyond belief. I never would have expected that to happen, not for a second.
VastaKustutasniper ...voice actor ....fro-from tf2 ..brony...ZOMG this is AWESOME,time to tell the servers
VastaKustutaI cracked up laughing at this - kept the nice bit of sarcastic cynicism I love about the sniper, well voiced if not a bit unintelligible, and of course there's the crossover. Even if he had no idea what he was really saying, it's damn awesome that he did it for the fans. Love it when VAs do that.
VastaKustutaSo fucking awesome.
VastaKustuta(Cue millions of gmod vids)
@Jebediah Oldenheimer
VastaKustutaJust because they don't seem interested in the show doesn't necessarily mean it's by choice. Professionals in their line of work usually keep pretty busy with their careers, so they wouldn't have a whole lot of spare time for checking out or becoming fans of other entertainment they're not professionally involved in.
Being a brony is a luxury not everyone can afford!
Its...Its....MAGNIFICENT
VastaKustutaLol. I enjoyed this.
VastaKustutaThat's it! Need to increase my Sniper playtime!
VastaKustutaWords cannot describe how much AWESOME that was.
VastaKustutaSNIPER IS BEST TF2 CLASS!!!!!! :D
That was a lot of fun, but I still don't wanna go for TF2. I tried it for three hours, and I got my ass handed to me so many times I felt really guilty. I love Valve, but TF2 is impossible for me ^_^;
VastaKustutaCHARLES IS A LILAIBOI
VastaKustutaAll my money
VastaKustutaI don't even play TF2 but that was hilarious.
VastaKustutaDear Princess Celestia,
VastaKustutaYou and all your subjects are all PRANCIN' SHOW PONIES.
Your unfaithful student, Sniper.
I think we have to get Heavy voice guy on this, heavy singing cupcakes:D
VastaKustutaWhether or not the voice actor here is particularly sincere or simply providing us with a gratefully received tid bit of satisfaction, we can all agree that the guy at the end is definetly a brony.
VastaKustutaI do believe my life is complete now... :'D
VastaKustutaGod, I love that voice. That character deserves his own fucking show, man.
VastaKustutaIm a hardcore TF2 fan and a hardcore Pony fan, This made my heart stop...
VastaKustutaThis fandom.
VastaKustutaIs crazy.
And it's AWESOME.
Amazing
VastaKustutaI am speechless.
VastaKustutaNow THAT's a letter to Celestia.
VastaKustutaNow if someone could get Gary Schwartz as Heavy to write a letter to Princess Celestia, that would be perfect.
