I haven't experienced the situation in the past. In the past, if a voice actor was not good-looking, would he have no job?

Nowadays, you can't make a living just by your voice. Not only in the voice actor industry, but also in writers, if the author is handsome or beautiful, it can often increase sales. After all, the so-called idolization of the industry is caused by the audience's demand in this regard.

Because idol voice actors sell well, and many animations now require voice actors to participate in various exclusive activities. If they are not good-looking, it will be a lose-lose situation. Therefore, the agency must select good-looking voice actors to show to fans.

It's all about money. Voice acting is a low-income profession, so many male voice actors are still busy working part-time in their 40s and 50s.

To be honest, I don't know much about animation and voice actors, but I personally feel that should "idol voice actors" be considered a different profession from "voice actors"? If you look at the works that idol voice actors appear in, they are basically late-night shows, which also shows their status in the industry.

After all, voice actors and agencies need to make money to survive, and commercial activities can make money, so instead of choosing voice actors who are not good-looking to reduce the enthusiasm of fans, agencies will definitely choose good-looking and cute voice actors to attract popularity. Although voice actors make a living by their voices, if the prerequisites are not too different, then those with high appearance will definitely be the first choice.
