Do you get voice fatigue from hearing the same seiyuus?

[Pancito]

I'd say it depends. Sometimes I do get a little tired of listening to the same seiyuus, so I take a break from them for a while and then come back when I'm in the mood again.
But overall, I wouldn't say it bothers me that much, because they often play very different characters, so it doesn't feel like I'm always listening to the same person. (⁠・⁠_⁠・⁠;⁠)

 

[starlight7]

I had that happen to me too. I didn't listen to their works for a bit but it didn't last that long either
I try to rotate between different seiyuus so I never get tired

 

[hbkkbh]

its not really at the point to be called 'fatigue' but saito soma is already in like, 4 games on my switch

 

[Breeze Daydream]

When I play games, I usually focus on the game plot and the characters themselves, without paying too much attention to the sound or voice actors. As long as the dubbing matches the character, I am generally acceptable. I often overlook voice acting when playing games.

 

[Rosellia]

Honestly yes. I love drama CDs and I have listened to a lot. As much as I love Masato Kawamura, Chasuke, and Manaka Sawa, I need to take a long break from their voice because all the characters have blended together. I can even instantly recognize their voices without looking at the VAs when they voice non R18 stuff with their real names.

 

[icanfly]

Unfortunately (or not?), my taste in voices nowadays aren't particularly distinct. To be honest, I don't even think I can pick them out... They become a fav BECAUSE they're easy to listen to so I think I'm less likely to get tired of it since I don't have that association? I guess the only one would be Furukawa Makoto but since he's voice casted in characters I like, I don't have a problem haha

 

[under_themoon99]

Yes.. It's very slight but I got voice fatigue from Umehara Yuichiro.. I really like his voice like so so much..But some of his male lead anime roles are like giving off this kind of same cold aura-like thingy ( I can't put it into words well gomen ne TwT)

But his voice is really really good and very attractive ദ്ദി(⎚_⎚)

 

[uuyy]

I haven't really felt that way myself, but when choosing which character to pursue, I do try to avoid picking characters voiced by the same voice actor in succession.

 

[koko36]

Honestly, yes (╥﹏╥) I love recognizing familiar seiyuus, and sometimes discovering that two characters I love share the same VA is such a fun surprise, but when THREE of my favorite characters have the same voice, it starts getting a little repetitive (T.T)

I also think it's nice when games give lesser-known or less familiar VAs a chance, because that's how you discover new favorites! Ryota Suzuki and Taku Yashiro are good examples of VAs you might grow to appreciate through a role you wouldn't have experienced otherwise (´｡• ᵕ •｡`). I love familiar voices as much as anyone, but I also want to be surprised by the casting and discover new talent rather than always hearing the same handful of people ~

 

[cherrymuffin🍒]

Definitely not! I actually hope to hear more from my fab seiyuus ><

 

[lyrevega]

Okamoto Nobuhiko, he's a really good one and i know that but im so tired of hearing him to the point that he could sigh and i would recognise him immediately, and it unfortunately does affect my interest in the characters he plays

 

[Leviathan_01]

That's never happened to me; I actually enjoy encountering my favorite seiyuus in other otome games and even outside of otome games altogether. When I was playing Onimusha Way of the Sword, I initially played in Japanese and discovered that the seiyuu for Sasaki Ganryu was Nobuhiko Okamoto. Since the voice acting in my native language was excellent, I played using that version, but whenever I had a battle against Sasaki, I would switch back to Japanese simply because I really love Nobuhiko's voice

 

[zzzero]

A little bit, yeah. When they play too many characters with similar vibes, I can't help but think, "Oh, this again...?"

 

[Yuuu701]

Depends on the voice acting. Sometimes it's good enough and fits the character so I don't mind. If it sounds the same as some other characters, it's difficult to imagine their voice as this LI.

 

[MariPZ]

There are seiyuus who, no matter how often they appear everywhere, are good actors. So I don't recognize them but sometimes it's impossible not to. I like Yuki Kaji, even so it's hard not to recognize him right away and think "Oh, right, that's Yuki Kaji" instead of focusing on the character. I just see him as the voice actor himself and not as the character he's playing if you know what I mean.

 

[lilian_lalali]

I don't get voice fatigue from any particular voice actor's works, because I think the script matters more than the voice. If the script is good, the voice will feel very different, so homogenization isn't that big of an issue. On the contrary, I'll seek out more of his works precisely because I like his voice. Conversely, homogenization in scripts is actually more likely to make me feel fatigued. No matter how good the voice is, pairing it with the same formulaic script will leave you emotionally unmoved.

 

[SmallEagle]

Tbh, I'm not good at recognizing voices, so although sometimes the voices may spund familiar, I don't get tired of hearing the same voices

 

[Hollowness]

Absolutely, this is a very real phenomenon across all types of media. hearing the same voices repeatedly can definitely cause a form of listener fatigue.

 

[crisalt]

oh it would definitely be a problem if listening to one character would always make me think of another or recognize them as someone else.. luckily it hasn't happened to me yet

 

[Vyrina]

Yes. I have nothing against the seiyuus a certain company keeps hiring, but it gets to the point that I'm no longer speculating which seiyuu would be playing which character, but which character would be voiced by this specific seiyuu, if that makes sense. I don't know if they have contracts or some inside business aspects of it, but it is getting extremely repetitive.

 

[Erille]

Yes, especially if the story and script are really similar to those the seiyuu have been acting before.

 

[mimi333]

I don't know every voice actor, so I've never really felt like I was getting tired of hearing the same voices. If anything, I'm happy when there are lots of voice actors I already know and like! I also often end up liking characters voiced by the same voice actors.

 

[hydre]

I like that I can feel the difference in acting depending on the character! That happened. The first one was a kind older brother-next-door character in the drama CD, but the next CD I listened to had the same voice actor, and in it he was a psychopathic serial killer, what?!I had thought of it

 

[Mahiruuuu]

Yes, a bit actually. Though i love hearing my favorite seiyuu in anime or games, it does get a bit tiring only if they have act the same manner as other characters they voiced. But I also don't mind if the seiyuu acts with a completely different personality from the usual. So now I take breaks from the same seiyuu or just change the JP language to EN in games lol

 

[カラス]

Sadly yes. There are times i would avoid works with them voicing. But sometimes i would make an exception if theyre using a different cadence/tone
