VOICE-ORE (ぼいそーれ) was a Japan-based VTuber agency produced by Napoleon Inc. It is focused on developing their talents as voice actors, though they stream as well. It began operations on 25 August 2020 and debuted its first three talents in early 2021. Napoleon Inc. is also a marketing consultant business. In 2022, the agency was acquired by Persol Group. In June 2024, VOICE-ORE was disbanded.
Profile[]
VOICE-ORE is a production company for virtual voice actors (V-Voice Actors for short). V-Voice Actors debut using 2D and 3D models just like ordinary VTubers, but their concept is very different from ordinary VTubers.
As a production company, we aim to help V-voice-over actors, who started out as unknowns, achieve stardom through the support of their fans, and gradually, one small step at a time, sometimes with repeated setbacks, become successful in the voice acting world.
