VA Hirano Aya complained in her blog that she was caught by a Seiyu scout while walking around for shopping. The scout said "You have a nice voice. Why don't you become a Seiyu?". Hirano retorted "I AM Seiyu!" and ran away from him. She wrote she was extremely shocked by the event and purchased lots of clothes to ease the frustration.

Oh I can't even begin to wonder what psychological horror she had to go trough knowing that one seiyuu scout wasn't capable of recognizing her. Ignorant fool, how does he dare!

But lol at the guy scouting a seiyuu and lol at her for being so shocked...
Yeah, famous seiyuu and so but is it that abnormal that one person in the world doesn't know who she is? And he's a seiyuu scout, not a model scout, is he supposed to know what she looks like?

I can just picture her running away (on high heels) and screaming at the top of her lungs :)

To be fair, she must be one of the more recognizable seiyuus, so it's double fail, she and the scout.

It's not her fault that the scout has 'lousy' skill :(

Maybe he wasn't a real seiyuu scout.
Maybe he works for the clothing stores.

honestly, i make no associations with my favorite characters to their VA's. among other things, i don't really care who they are or what they do. if their VA is good enough for me to like the characters they portray, that is enough for me. i don't know who the [said] person is.

I don't know. I'm sure everyone likes it when their work is recognized and no matter if you like her or not (for whatever lol reasons you have), she is a recognized talent in the business. She worked a lot on her career lately, even managed to get her own show, so why is it not understandable for you guys that she was surprised by the guy. I mean many of you know her and if the guy is in the business and doesn't, then he obviously chose the wrong profession.

Nothing wrong with a little overreaction, she's a woman after all.

I have to disagree with you on that, he obviously recognized she has a nice voice. His failure lies in not caring about his work enough to know her.

Also, I like Hirano Aya but stuff likes this cracks me up; she can be so silly sometimes.

If I were you, I'd prepare for a hounding.

Anyways, yeah, Aya Hirano really overreacted. Then again, what ego-bloated celebrity doesn't?

EDIT: Just for clarification, I like her work, but it sounds like I wouldn't like the person. :/

Just goes to show that her studio voice sounds nothing like her real voice. Why else would she be unrecognized?

Epic Fail seiyu scout XD

Looks like our Aya Hirano is just like a normal girl who gets upset easily XD

EDIT: I think some overacted over her disappointment. It's just normal if you view it from a wider perspective. That just portrayed that she reacts like a normal girl and not like a celebrity.

Anyway, I just lol'd to this news.

Did you read the part where it says that the scout approached her because of her voice?

yea, I read that. I said that her studio voice is different from her actual voice. I never said that her actual voice sucked.

Which still doesn't matter since her voice was good enough for him to approach her. So saying that it shows how different her voice might be doesn't really make any sense, does it.
