Based on the RunningGag of Nicob's channel where he is prone to have [[ManOfAThousandVoices many voices in hold for when he reads the dialogue of a videogame]], The Council of Voices was created initially as a comedic parody series involving many characters of Let's Plays he has done, such as the Franchise/Danganronpa franchise, the Franchise/AceAttorney franchise, alongside many other videogames he has played in his channel.

''The Council of Voices'' is a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover web series created by the youtuber LetsPlay/NicoB and currently being edited by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/IMMATOONLINK Viva Reverie]].

Based on the RunningGag of Nicob's channel where he is prone to have [[ManOfAThousandVoices many voices in hold for when he reads the dialogue of a videogame]], The Council of Voices was created initially as a comedic parody series involving many characters of Let's Plays he has done, such as the Franchise/Danganronpa franchise, the Franchise/AceAttorney franchise, alongside many other videogames he has played in his channel.

However, after [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-lcjQWLcvw Episode 5]], the series went under a CerebusSyndrome and got taken seriously in it's story by introducing a Nonary Game, ala VisualNovel/ZeroEscape.

The series can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5bkYBlFL9xf2qXDYBLBIHmENpwlKKvsP here]].

!!The Council of Voices shows tropes of:
* AnyoneCanDie: Hoh boy, the Nonary Arc of the Council of Voices. As of episode 8, [[spoiler: Seven and Joshua are both dead from poison, with the former also backstabbed, the last Monokuma was destroyed, and Mayuri was the victim of a KillAndReplace]].
* ArtEvolution: The Council of Voices series recieved a notable upgrade as it went on, from a high-quality intro (theme song included), replacing static photos and drawings with 3D modeled sets for the backgrounds, and adding other small details to make things seem more alive.
* BigBadEnsemble: Zero and [[TheMole The Moles]] within the Council [[spoiler:(Naia, Badd, and Miu)]] serve as this for the Nonary Arc.
* BizarroEpisode: Episode 6.5 of Council of Voices. Everyone who died during the Nonary Game is seemingly alright and characters pull off stuff that even by standards of this series is heavily drug induced with things like Komaeda summoning Bagel Overlord who shoots out lasers, Toko suddenly owning a castle with several servants with Togami against his will arriving there on a mighty stead and Kazuichi receiving several clones of Sonia. Justified, as it's a non-canon episode which is supposed to showcase new editor's capabilities, but it still fits.
* ChekhovsGag: [[spoiler: The computer used as the framing device for Episode 4 turns out to be installed by Zero (or one of his allies), giving him a backdoor to kidnap the participants of his Nonary Game.]]
* ClipShow: Council of Voices Episode 4, which shows the moments that certain voices were created as well as when that voice was first used for said character.
* DoNotAdjustYourSet: In Nico's [[https://youtu.be/S4JU2gxB390 update video]] on February 24 2018, after saying he's going to be working on episode 5 of Council of Voices, [[spoiler:the masked man [[CallBack from the end episode 4]] takes over the video momentarily, announces himself as '[[LegacyCharacter Zero]]', and that he's going to host his own [[VisualNovel/ZeroEscape Nonary Game]] with council members (and possibly others) as the participants]]. After that, the rest of the video continues like normal...
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs:
** In "The Council of Voices" Episode 3, Nico's ride is a chainsaw-wielding T-Rex, which eats Morishige.
* EvolvingCredits: During the title sequence of the Nonary Arc of the Council Of Voices, surviving characters are shown in full color while deceased characters are shown as silhouettes with a chain piercing through them.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap:
--> '''Seven''': Oh god! How many of those [Thunder spells] do you have?!
--> '''Donald''': As many as it takes, 'til my MP runs out. (His emblem in the background is an HP and an MP bar, and the MP bar is empty) Oh crap. Sora? Sora, I need an Ether! (Seven charges him)
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Earlier episodes occasionally featured multiple characters with the same or very similar voices, such as Slimey, Missile, and Maya, or the Security Chief and Kirigiri. In episode 7, it's revealed that [[spoiler:multiple characters with the same voice are distinct from one another and can coexist together, despite sharing the same "essence". Zero refers to such characters as "others" of each other, using Seven, Kuzuryu, and Beat as an example, and indicates that even if something should happen to a character, their voice will live on through their others.]]
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In Council Of Voices, Part IV, Donald's emblem is an HP/MP bar, which visibly goes down when getting attacked by other members and using magic.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: The title of each episode of ''The Council of Voices'' is [[QuestioningTitle in the form of a question]].
* {{Jerkass}}: The Joshua voice and the Togami voice practically epitomize this trope.
* KnightOfCerebus: [[VisualNovel/ZeroEscape Zero]] is this in [[DarkerAndEdgier episode 5]] of the previously-lighthearted ''Council of Voices'' series.
* MeanwhileBackAtThe: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4QMdyfFjL0 Council of Voices...]]
* OnceMoreWithClarity: The ColdOpen of episode 8 of ''The Council Of Voices'' shows us a screen that has messages appear on it, saying how despite how much the unseen viewer wants to help, taking action could make the situation worse, before [[PercussiveShutdown it gets smashed mid-sentence]]. TheStinger reveals that the messages were being sent to [[spoiler: Nico, who had been watching the events occurring in the facility over the past few episodes]].
* SerialEscalation: So far, every episode of ''The Council of Voices'' has been longer and more elaborate than the last. Episode 1 clocks in at just three and a half minutes, while episode 8 is ''28 times longer'' at over an hour and a half.
* SimultaneousArcs: Episodes 6 and 7 of ''The Council of Voices'' cover largely the same period of time, focusing on different characters. Episode 6 focuses on Komaeda, Togami, Seven, and Joshua, while episode 7 focuses on Chiaki, Mayuri, Morishige, Monokuma, and Donald.
* StealthPun: In the scene from episode 7 where [[spoiler:Morishige learns how to power-walk in order to [[LoopholeAbuse circumvent his forbidden action]] and save Mayuri]], the background music is [[spoiler:[[Manga/MyHeroAcademia "You Say Run"]]]].
* VocalEvolution: Due to Nico generally improving in voice acting across his own channel, this gets [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] to hell and back in episode 4 of ''The Council of Voices'', which focuses primarily on the origins of some of Nico's oldest voices.
--> '''Judge''': Yup, which means we're going back. Waaay back. All the way back to those awkward moments when we sounded like shit.
* WhamLine: In episode 8, as an [[MyNameIsQuestionMarks unknown]] individual starts talking.
--> '''K''': You... [[WhatTheHellAreYou What kind of monster are you?]]. [[spoiler: Did Nico send you?]]
* WhamShot: [[TheStinger The final scene]] in episode 4 of. [[spoiler:As the Council devolves into bickering, the camera zooms out, showing the scene being played on one of several screens. The person watching the screens is then shown [[VisualNovel/ZeroEscape wearing a gas mask]] and declaring "Soon. Very soon..."]] Something big is right around the corner.
** The final scene in Episode 5 also counts. [[spoiler:Joshua goes to look for Seven, who had gone off alone to get food, and finds him lying on the floor with a knife in his back.]] That's right, [[spoiler:Nico ''killed one of his voices''!]]
