I hate vtubers, but I once saw a clip of one with a normal, comparitively deep, voice. It gripped me and she felt so much more real because of it. I was tempted to fall into the trap of watching her videos. There's just something about hearing an organic voice played from slowly vibrating vocal chords. It's so rare for anime characters outside of milfs, villains, or antagonistic onee-chan types.

Have sex incel

If I do that, I'll lose my ability to enjoy teasing. Being a virginal young man is great.

>>33955786
Just be honest with yourself and switch to male voices.

>>33956577
That's a definite jump. I like voices like Senjougahara's. Full and feminine. A man's voice can't perform the same role.

I always find it funny how a vtuber will accidentally use her real voice and I'll think "wow, that sounded infinitely better"

Towa, please...

It's called voice acting and they are playing a cartoon character

>>33957628
Didn't know the women in JAVs were cartoons.

Imagine watching 3dpd
now get off this board

>>33955786
You don't like bright-eyed genki girls and lolis?
What a homo.
And if you want "real" voices, started watching 3D youtubers/vloggers.

>>33957269
I don't like it. It reminds me that she's just a normal 3D woman pretending to be 2D, and that ruins it for me.

That's where I'm headed at this point.
>It reminds me that she's just a normal 3D woman pretending to be 2D, and that ruins it for me.
As opposed to what?

>>33958037
If they used their real voices to begin with, it wouldn't break the immersion

>>33958388
>As opposed to what?
As opposed to not being reminded of that.
Imagine that you're watching a movie set in 15th century England, and one of the staff appears in the frame wearing modern clothes and carrying modern filming equipment, it would break the immersion, wouldn't it?

>>33958468
But then they wouldn't sound like lolis.

Talking in a normal tone doesn't make her any more or less "2D".

Wasn't there an anime director saying exactly that in an interview?
About how voice actresses these days can't act with a natural voice, always the exaggerated high voice and it's not even their fault because that's just what is demanded from their profession.

>>33955786
I don't hate the exaggerated voices but I agree that there's too much of them and not enough relatively normal ones, I enjoyed zero two, bernkastel and beatrice(I know shes anything but normal but she really stood out) from ps3 umineko were great, tsugumi from ever17, just to list a few examples from the top of my head. I noticed that I tend to like more toned down voices more but it might be also because they just stand out more in the sea of typical high pitched ones

>>33955786
Just go for Chinese and Korean voice acting, my dude.
The Japanese has absorbed (((their))) way of thinking and will sell and sell the same voice over again until the destruction of what it was Japan in the old times.
The Korean and the Chinese known this and their voice actors and actress avoid unnatural voices.

Kiss Shot/Maya Sakamoto has an amazing feminine voice. Fertile as the crescent.

>>33964091
If you like those languages sure, to me korean and chinese sounds like scraping my ears with cheesegrater

>>33964188
I never understood this meme

>>33965999
To people who don't speak those languages, they sound awful. It's not a meme.

>>33965999
I really love japanese language, it just sounds "right" to me, everything about it does. And I don't just mean cute anime girl japanese, I mean the language itself in all forms, I've watched korean, chinese and japanese shows, interviews and heard people speak those languages. I don't like how korean and chinese sound, they're just tiring to listen to and I have no special feelings towards them. Meanwhile japanese is just perfect, I could listen to it for ages. It's just a personal thing, I'm sure there are people who feel the complete opposite

>>33964091
>Just go for Chinese and Korean voice acting, my dude.
Chinese is hopeless for drama, since lexical tones interfere with emotional tones.
Korean is just a terrible-sounding language.
>>33964188
>>33967222
Chinese stops being painful to hear when you've listened to it for a while, but it doesn't get all that much better.

>>33964159
Kiss-Shot was the complete package, yeah.

>>33967924
>lexical tones
People getting filtered by lexical tones is really weird. Do they realise Japanese have tones too? I know books such as genki and minna no nihongo don't tech teach them but, c'mon, Asia loves tones.

>>33968137
Pitched accents =/= tones
You can get by without using them and only sounding weird. You can't do that in Chinese or other real tonal languages.

>>33968137
>People getting filtered by lexical tones is really weird.
It's not. If you come from a country where tones are used to convey emotion, hearing people throw their tones in a blender to make more words will sound odd. The Chinese language tends to grate because of that (and their insistence on using variations of the same sound as separate sounds).

I swear, vtubers' fans are one of the stupidest faggots I've ever seen. Holy fucking shit.

Why is Terence tao holding that sign?
