Do you have any favorites?
And why is VA culture not as big in the west?
Voice actors
Because Japanese VA is better.

That is one handsome man on the left
How can you tell it's better if you don't understand the language?
isn't it just like 3 people doing all the shit? at least sounds the same
America is 30x bigger geographically than Japan, VAs are paid less compared to Japan, and it's just a job here like any other so you're easily replaceable.

That would be the US VA scene, especially for anime.
actual brainlet
who said i cant understand it?
Gideon Emery is goated
Clancy Brown (while he rarely does video game shit any more) is goated
Prove it.
You're playing cringey Japanese anime games. You're already a weeaboo. You're just self-hating and retarded on top of being a weeaboo.
Tara Strong is my favourite.

Right back at ya, you stupid fuck.
>And why is VA culture not as big in the west?
Because it will ALWAYS be seen as a C-List job for actors who can't act with the rest of their bodies and since there's this an existing negative stigma, they're probably not getting paid enough all that much to really put passion into the work unless they happen to actually enjoy their work which then is still a negative outcome for them. It might be getting better but it will never reach Japan's level.
Japan treat their seiyuu as celebrities, they have their own radio shows, they have live readings that fill up literal stadiums of people, and they usually have a lifetime contract to voice a character. It's an actual fucking industry and career choice over there.
I still believe that some Western VA work is phenomenal like look at any RTS game where we still have capable of reciting and quoting lines from it to this day. Age of Empires, Starcraft, Dawn of War, you name it. I think the divide between male VAs from the east and west are pretty small, the quality just happens to go lower when the characters being voiced get younger.
I think women unfortunately have it way tougher because western women do not understand moe and they never will. There will always be an unbridgeable gap for young female characters being dubbed over.
Right now I think the west is reeling with voice acting quality because celebrity voice actors are becoming more common and while they're a lot worse off, apparently your average audience seem to prefer that
by far
>"No I'm not a weeb!!"
>"I play my japanese games with shitty english voice acting!!"
its not even that
if the game was made in one langauge, I'm playing it in its original language
If it's a japanese game, I'm playing with Jap voices
if it's a french game, I'm playing with French voices
If its a chinese game I'll play it in japanese voices
if its a chinese game then I just mute the fucking thing
Oh and my favorite western VAs are
>Fred Tatasciore
>Keith Ferguson
>Scott Mcneil
>Paul and Brian Dobson
>Robert Atkin Downes
>Richard Newman
>The guy who voiced Arthas in WC3

Because Eng voice actors are in one, big clique. Not to mention many of them can't voice act, sound the same, can't change their voice, etc. compared to Japanese VA's.
If you can't recognize Jap VAs on voice alone then you clearly haven't been watching/playing enough Jap shit
For English VAs, Tony Jay and that's about it. The modern west-coast dub clique are fucking woeful and deserve every ounce of scorn they get.
Magilou is a cutie
It's just different, I mean now we're seeing youtubers and stuff doing voice acting now
Ever notice that the new voice actor sound like YouTube and flash tier voice actors?
Most Jap VAs have a very distinctive "main" voice, but then they'll have a bunch of other roles that are actually surprising and not immediately recognizable.
Ray Chase has a good range, but yes most have only one voice and they are very cliquey
I was completely surprised when Emporio in Part 6 was voiced by an eroge voice actress that I was fan of. I really could not have guessed it was her if I didn't look up by chance.
fucking weeb
Why
Is it tranny?
Thats the same va as tales of arise main girl?
And Futaba from Persona 5

>And why is VA culture not as big in the west?
Because western VAs spend all their time whining on Twitter about not getting paid enough for not doing any work and how hard their job is while attacking (You) personally for not liking them instead of honing their craft
by not being autistic
I really like both the English and Jap voice actors for my favorite Rune Factory girl
The difference is that video game and anime dubs are the bottom of the barrel. Anything getting made and voiced in English like bigger budget western games and cartoons naturally demands more capable talent. The Japanese A-list VAs generally don't waste their time doing Japanese dubs of Steven Universe or Call of Juarez.
isn't she the one who does all the female voices in Smiling Friends?
I wish English anime dubs were more popular, some of the actors are really good at their job
Is Hag really her real last name for real?
GB2/a/
Yes and she always gets the loli roles, it's quite ironic
She ever dub a hentai like Yukari's va? youtube.com
>And why is VA culture not as big in the west?
the pay is shit so no one wants to do it so they reuse the same people over and over, and most of them aren't talented enough to do multiple voices.
You see it when there is a new VA in a dub. They have to take a fuck load of roles to get paid and everyone gets sick of them

>Actor (242 credits)
>only really started doing it seriously since 2015
the funny ass voice actors from zombie panic source, co-op horror, free on steam
theyre realistic but like make u laugh so hard
kek, nah I thing the closest one to hentai she did is Cross Ange, girl in the orange suit
How is VA culture not big here? Look at critical roles, the whole idea was getting well known VAs to stream a campaign.
Troy Baker and Jennifer Hale, and the only reason they are well knows is because they star in literally every single big release.
>2022 I am forgotten
Hello Vashyron
I support game like Tokyo xanadu, modern atelier, and dungeon travelers/utawarerumono for removing dubs.
Fuck gaijins, fuck mutts, fuck appeasing racist westerners. You get the official voices only, not any sexual predators fan fiction, fuck dubs
>And why is VA culture not as big in the west?
I'm not sure if you've actually been around the western voiceover community for anime and videogames but it is extremely liberal, filled with trannies and they/them's out the ass. Netflix decided evangelion needed a redub when it got put on their service i guess and they casted some fucking nonbinary retard to voice shinji (so now he just sounds like a girl, what a surprise).
Tl:dr it's a fucking mess
Japanese VA:
>AAAAAIIIIIIIIY YAMATORO KUDISAAAAAAAAAI KIIIIINJOOOO YIIIIIMBO BIIIIIIMBO
American VA
>Sure Kotomaru let’s beat the bad guys together because friendship
Bottom one is cringe but it’s still more bearable than the over acting Japs do.
I wouldn't expect such a cute voice on that absolute unit of a woman. Why does this make me hard?
>amerimutt sub 100 IQ trying to cope that he listens to garbage voices
Andy Gathergood as Laurentius of the Great Swamp. One of the few vidya voice acting that felt real for me.
I want Mary Elizabeth McGlynn's voice to kill me.
