The uniqueness of having a non-japanese doing Seiyuu work (if we're talking 'Idol' seiyuu here) might be better if because of her skin color and appearance. Then again, that applies more to Idols (who have to be seen in public more often than not) than 'regular' seiyuu (the part-timers and bit part voices). Then again, it's my opinion. I could be horribly mistaken. Maybe I was trying too hard to be too encouraging...
