>>79965386I am looking forward to the exportation of idol culture to the global stage through the medium of vtubers, especially English vtubers. Part of the reason why Japanese voice acting is so lauded is because of the established structures for dubbing, and the idol culture is very much a part of it. Many famous female Japanese VAs had a history as idols - contrast that with the washed up theatre actors and literals whos which make up the English voice acting scene, especially anime. The additional appeal of vtubers, especially those of Hololive, is the focus on the voice, as opposed to the real life look of the actor. If things work out, idol vtubers, like the ones from Hololive will start voicing Western animations, making animation and voicework more profitable and attractive. The exportation of idol culture and CGDCT beyond Japan will be a good thing, especially for /co/.
