Do VAs influence you to start an Otome?

Not really, but when I see my favorite VA, it catches my attention. For me, the visual component plays a bigger role than everything else)

Voice credits don't really influence me starting or getting into anything the way a personal favorite scenario writer or director might, but if a favorite is part of the cast in a game I'm playing, that will boost my opinion of the character they're portraying! A little extra spice, for my ears.

For me, I actually try my best to separate voice actors from the characters they voice. I tend to immerse myself fully in the story and the character's personality while playing otome games. If I keep thinking about which VA is voicing the role nonstop, it just pulls me right out of the immersion and ruins the vibe.
Normally I pick games based on the plot tropes and character types I enjoy first. That said, spotting a familiar VA in the cast does instantly boost my interest a little bit.

Speaking of that, there's an upcoming otome game called Kimi ni Madoi, Kimi ni Oboreru I'm really looking forward to. One of the voice actors cast in it has my full anticipation for his otome performance. I listen to his drama CDs quite often, and he's only had minor side roles in several games before, so I'm curious to hear him take on a proper otome lead this time.

Honestely? No. I am not really interestet in VAs and dont even recognise their names or even voices most of the time, so it dosent influence me . I think i have only recognized a VA two times in my live or so... But! I really like it if a LIs Voice sounds like it would belong to him and his Voice is attractive for me, so that might influence me more than just seeing the name of a VA

Personally, no. So far, I haven't come across any bad voice actors. I like them all :) so it doesn't influence me at all.

Personalmente no, hasta ahora no me e encontrado con ningún actor de voz malo, me gustan todos :) asi que para mi no influye nada de nada

First of all, I'd say no, since I don't look up the voice actors beforehand (I want to get the most out of discovering the game).
But the surprise of hearing one of my favorite voice actors is indescribable.
