Why should the chances be higher if she's a foreigner?  If
anything, not having a native understanding of Japanese language
and culture should make it more difficult than a Japanese (and
there are already enough of them trying out...I'd guess only one
in every few hundred students ever do anything of note, and only
a small percentage of them can actually make a living doing only
seiyuu related work)
