Isabela’s Japanese Seiyuu for me, while talented is a bit TOO high just for the fact that it comes off a bit babyish & she’s supposed to be 21 & I get that she’s meant to be portrayed as a princess at first but we all know it’s an act & the few moments where Isabela’s dialogue is spoken with a deeper register are actually better. But I am aware a LOT of Seiyuus do characters this way.

[@nicolelouise7295]

I think its fitting tbh, that high voice sounds really forced and fake especially when her voices becomes deeper when she's angry. It's a good contrast and kinda symbolic that she's hiding something behind her tone. Your opinion is valid, of course, since it isn't everyone's cup of tea. Edit: Also I'd like to bring up that it feels like her voice sounds higher with Abuela which is interesting and a nice touch.

Aya probably felt some closeness to her character being someone forced to be perfect all the time considering her history with her otaku fans. For those that dont know she once was a Super Idol who voiced Haruhi Suzumiya, one of the biggest anime characters of all time. She had a band too and sold out stadiums for her performances. However, she was open about her sex and romantic life on a radio show and then there was leaks about her having slept with her band mates. This led to her fans quickly turning on her as idol culture in Japan (everywhere really) is toxic and disgusting. Fans destroyed her merch and sent death threats. Even as late as 2022 she said she still gets death threats whenever she voices a character. Literally all she did was live her life but her fans had impossible expectations of her just like Isabella. Im glad shes still getting work though because shes very talented.
