Just one of the reasons I don't get why vocaloid is so popular...
The actress lent the company who made Miku voice clips which were used to create the program used to create Vocaloid songs.

Vocaloids are basically Microsoft Sam if he could sing...I guess.

So why is this hologram thing getting the fame instead of the actress herself, if it's the voice that makes her so popular?

Because it dances while wearing short skirts. Why else?

Basically. Miku is the mascot for the vocaloid software too, before the hologram. It was a personification of the program. Like Sonic is famous for being the face of thousands of lines of code and a hitbox. The code and hitbox aren't famous, it's Sonic that gets all the love.

I guess the core at what I'm trying to get at is, the woman who supplies the voice, what does she get from all this?

Probably not much, she probably didn't know it was going to get this big. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Yamaha employee making average pay.

Miku's voice is derived from a Japanese voice actress's. I would imagine she would want more recognition for her genuine voice work.

This

The fact that I'm hearing about this Miku person and not this voice actress bothers me

Like not giving recognition to Tara Strong for voicing Bubbles...

I actually meant that I would imagine the voice actress would want more recognition for the voice work she actually performed rather than Vocaloid. The woman herself is not actually singing the songs.

I already explained this...

It was a few simple voice clips, which were not compiled together to make songs.. but simply analysed and copied to create the voice of the Vocaloid. You can pull up any vocaloid and tweak with the settings a bit to recreate any voice you want, in theory, they just used a real voice to speed up the process, and give a touch of realism.

Even famous people like Gackt were never "famed" for their vocaloid work.. you wouldn't look at Gakupo and go "Hey that's Gackt, he sings very well", if you wanted to say that, you'd look at some actual Music from said person. (Which by the way, is Fantastic)
Like I said, you'd be better off giving the fame to the people who sat there and coded the voice, and created the actual soundtrack..

Miku is popular because of her music, and because of her avatar. That's like how an anime character is popular, and not their voice actor. Same as game characters. Whatever is on the surface is what is meant to sell, not what's underneath.
