Do voice actresses still get a lot of roles after getting married?

They often say they will keep on working, but in reality most see a sharp decline in work after marriage. |

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Just wanted to confirm it. That's very unfortunate. Why is that? |

Congratulations to the happy couple.
Hopefully she will continue to see work at a good pace, but it does need to fit with having a family life now. Mark Gosdin |

Even if true though, it is really weird since voice acting doesn't take a LOT of time. It only takes a few hours a day to do an entire episode and from interviews I watched, sometimes they can do multuiple episodes in a day if the actor/actresses do a good job. Kana is up there on my list of seiyuu's ill never forget, a classic voice thats pretty diverse and never irritating. She's up there Mamiko Noto and Yukari Tamura, and Tomoko Kawakami, and Chiwa Saito for me. I hope she's truthful in that post in regards to continuing her work. |

Because realistically they are not breadwinners for the most part, so after marriage there are fewer reasons to work hard for low pay, since that's the seiyuu profession in a nutshell. I think someone like Asumi Kana will still be around, simply because her fanbase is quite big. |

Eh? The seiyuu profession is mostly low-pay? That's news to me; I know that's the case with voice-acting here in the States, but I always assumed that it made enough money for a person as a full-time career in Japan. Nonetheless, good for her; she and her partner will surely make a cute couple. I've only really known her through watching both seasons of Nyaruko-san and most recently the third Madoka film, but that's been more than enough to see her talent. Congrats to her! |

Just saw her live at the Persona 3 stage play (ended up being a musical).
Congratulations Aira from Pretty Rhythm! You are the best. :3 |

Congrats, Asumin!
From what I know, only the big names can actually make a living as a seiyuu. Newbies and other unknowns usually have a part-time job to supplement their income. So it's not impossible to make a living being a seiyuu, but it's a lot of hard work to get to the point where it can become a career and the only source of income. |
