In the seiyuu industry, how important is it for a seiyuu to be beautiful?
>>
>>135255442
I despise the trend because it discriminates against talented individuals based on qualities that have no bearing on their work.
>>
>>135255513
Your appearance does have some bearing on how you work though. If you don't take care of your own body, what does that say about your work ethic? Granted, I don't think you should have to be 10/10 breeding material, but talented people are seldom 0/10 botflies.

For fuck's sake the two biggest sellers in the industry are Nana Mizuki and Yukari Tamura and you are fucking crazy if you think they are even worth mentioning as far as naturally beautiful seiyuu.
>>
>>135255442
It's gotten too important, or at least that's what it seems like.
It's almost like people from the early days of animu tried to get jobs now, they would probably end up as minor characters or the grandpa or some shit.

Akira Kamiya is pretty talented, but he looks like AVERAGE JAPANESE MAN, even when he was younger. I can imagine them passing him up because he can't be put on a magazine cover, and letting Yuki Kaji voice Kenshiro instead

People turned on Rie pretty quickly

It's unfortunately important due to the fact that seiyuu aren't just voice actors anymore, and have so much to do with publicizing the anime.
It just bothers me because it brings into question how many times a character lost a chance at having a great voice because the producers decided to go for an actor with a pretty good voice who was also pretty. I remember that story about how a seiyuu anonymously wrote in a thread on 2ch about how she was looked over for not being pretty enough, even though she'd already become somewhat popular.
>>
>>135256037

and you're just gonna believe it's an actual seiyuu?
>>
>>135255442
Only if you're female.
>>
>>135256037
That's what's bothering me the most.

If you go back and look at a bunch of the voice actors from the 70s/80s, a lot of them are just average joes, random normal looking people, and only a handful of them stood out as extremely pretty or handsome.
>>
>>135256037
If you'd actually heard some of the laughably bad <25 female voice acting in 70s, 80s, and 90s anime you wouldn't think this way.

One of the funniest things about Tomino's crankly old man bitching about current seiyuu was the fact he made shows with such acting shitfests as Hazuki Kadoma playing Chara Soon and was supposedly butthurt for years that Nagano married Maria Kawamura.

Literally nothing, unless your job involves hard physical labor or being a professional sports player.

Back in 70s, 80s and 90s your looks were completely irrelevant because the fan culture was completely different. Most voice actors weren't marketed as idols doing magazine gravure shoots or live shows with meet and greets.

It's a plus but in any job involving minimal interaction with the public (?) you have to look presentable even when you're not that attractive to begin with. Take for instance Rie Takahashi, she might not really look much but you can see in all her pictures she doesn't look like some hobo.

I would expect everyone to go to shower once a day and wear clean clothes, but that's about it.
My point was that if you're 20 kg overweight or happen to have shitty skin, it should have nothing to do with whether you get hired as a voice actor or not.

I'm sure they didn't get the refugees from girl groups, variety shows, gravure, etc. they do these days so it wasn't as competitive about it, but the whole industry has grown massively since then and probably specializes better in a lot of ways.

Seiyuu otaku as a whole have different standards than wota, or else they would just be wota in the first place since 2D doesn't have the pull to get the "most attractive" girls on average.

Please name 10 of them who are even mildly successful. Pretty sure you can't unless you count the WUGs as idols first, seiyuu second. Even then the WUGs aren't even successful compared to some actual seiyuus who got their start by going to seiyuu training school and such.

Chiyori is I think, possibly the most legit likely dyke in the industry. She has a huge thing about short hair, sort of weird taste in anime for a girl to start with, and her favourite in Gundam 00 isn't one of the bishounen but rather Haro.

Then again she did go pretty shotacon over Kazuma from Summer Wars.

While I don't think it's necessary, the industry certainly does seem to place quite a bit of importance on beauty. However, I don't think it's completely dependent on beauty? Ayane Sakura was probably far from what most would consider attractive (not ugly though) when she debuted, but after being in the industry for a few years, they definitely improved her looks a lot.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that even if they arent a beauty from the start agencies might still take them in if they are talented enough because they can probably make them beautiful. Then again, she did debut like 4 years ago so maybe now if they had to choose between mediocre voice and good looks versus good voice and mediocre looks, they would go with the former so they don't need to go through the effort to make them pretty?

Well when it's clear they don't even do casting calls for female leads quite often and just say Sora Amamiya is getting this role cause she home grown and that's it it can get pretty stupid. Aniplex has the most political casting of any producer but then there's a lot of things that are just terrible about their approach to making anime.

Saori Hayami vs. Sho Hayami only convinced me more that she's kind of in a league of her own in her generation. I like how he gets flustered a couple of times here. She's just so good at being cheeky and ad libbing. She needs to get some more villain roles though, I bet she'd be ridiculously good at it.
>>
>>135269106

I'd almost consider her on like one of the greatest of all time level already. She has a couple years to go still before she reaches Hayashibara or Sakamoto levels but she'll definitely get there.

Because I only mentioned the roles in which I thought Aoi showed her strongest performances this year.(all a matter of opinion at the end of the day)
While I enjoy Yurusen and Aoi's ad-libbing certainly brings a lot of of life into the role, Yurusen doesn't really get the chance to do much story-wise besides snark at Takeru and shill toys. Then again Ghost is barely ten episodes in, so...

The one that I should probably add to the above list is Inaho from Youkai Watch as Aoi's comedic timing and 早口 really shine there, but it's not like anyone in /a/ watches YW.
>>
>>135273348
I won't argue with you there. Every time she shows up she goes "Hey kids look at this toy that will be obsolete in two episodes", but yeah her role in YW is pretty good.

Both of you guys are retarded. Japanese fashion has been amazing since the 80s. They're one of the frontrunners in the fashion industry.

Just look up Yohji Yamamoto, Comme des Garcons, etc... I think most people into fashion recognize how great Japanese fashion is. I think people think Japanese fashion is random because of how crazy a couple of people in Japan look like when those people are largely seen as pretty crazy looking by the Japanese too. The average person in Japan cares much more about fashion than people in the states which is why their clothes are always well fitted.

Back to the topic. Looks shouldn't matter at all. It's not like Japan is made up of fat asses so I don't see how their looks affect their performance in anyway. It's just that the otaku culture has changed and voice acting has become another part of idol culture.

Most respectable companies will have some sort of dress code.

As long as the person groom daily and dress in clean clothes, no one really cares. Everyone's just grinding until 5pm so they can leave.

Appearance does not say anything about your work ethics by any stretch of the imagination (good proof would be any person pursuing a post graduate degree).

Appearance is only important when you are working in the entertainment industry or looking for a relationship.
