Xx123 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I noticed that some VN are not voiced. Are there visual novels that are voiced especially for the female heroine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funyarinpa Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 There are hundreds if not thousands of visual novels that feature voice acting. If you want to read one, you should also mention any genre or theme you'd prefer, since there's too many of them to give you recommendations otherwise. You can also browse this tag on VNDB to browse for some visual novels with voice acting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleshogun Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) That's like asking the obvious. Of course there is, and in fact there's a lot of it (VNs with voice). Edited February 4, 2017 by littleshogun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvz Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 There are also VNs that only have voices to female characters, only for some characters, only in some scenes, and so on. The cost of voice acting is something not all companies can afford, and nowadays a lot of games are made by indie companies. It is not a bad question, as my first VN was Umineko and I read through the entire first chapter to find that there was voice acting available.

Yeah, my story exactly. And after trying to read with voices for a bit, I returned to the unvoiced version, because voices of the main characters were very different from what I imagined them to be, and it really bugged me. ~~~~~ Back to the topic. I also recommend you to check several releases on VNDB, because there are often times, especially with older VNs, when some releases are voiced and some aren't. I think, it often happens, when the company didn't have the money to include the voices at first, but the VN got popular and sold very well. Some examples are Clannad and Fate/Stay Night. Also, sometimes voices get added only to releases on the platforms different from PC. In these cases you might want to check if there are any unofficial patches that add the voices to the PC version, like with the before-mentioned Umineko, or its sister series Higurashi. Note, however, that it is likely to happen only for the most popular VNs, as it requires a lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkZedge Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 While it's true that not all companies can afford to hire VAs and there fore have their vns not feature voices, there's also thousands if not more that do feature them either partially or fully. As for recommendations it'd be of great help to us if you could specify the type of genre you're looking for or enjoy them most, you could also search on VNDB by it's tag as it was mentioned above. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
