    American voice actors definitely get treated like stars and have fans. Source: Ive been to plenty of conventions.

    One for every hundred VAs, maybe.

    another reason Japanese seiyuu are treated with such high praise is because many of them do other media, particularly music.

    Many of the most celebrated seiyuu do nothing but voice acting.

      Absolutely not true. There may be some, but seiyuu work is extremely hard. They work their asses off in a cutthroat competitive world doing many things on the side and making money from many more angles that just their voice acting.
