@Jayden, Alejandro's different, he had only appeared in one season and unlike Izzy he doesn't have unanimous love across the fanbase, plus Marco Grazini doesn't seem to be as thoroughly involved in the TD community (or voice acting in general) as Katie Crown is. Katie embraces the role of Izzy, as shown by the way she improves, very unlikely she won't return.

@Batman, yes and no. It's certainly less tedious and time consuming than live action acting, but it has it's fair share of troubles as well. For starters the level of quality for voice acting is much higher, it's common to have bad actors, but bad voice actors are much scarcer (unless it's a low budget show which no one cares about).

Also, while youre right in that VA's dont necessarily have to "get together", they still have to travel quite far to different studios to perform their roles. With live actions actors they will generally stick with one studio for a while, but VAs will juggle a few at once.

As for the "once you perfect your voice" thing, take it from me, someone who has had some experience in the voice industry, it is not that simple. To succeed in the voice industry you generally have to bring to the table something that no one else can offer. With Christian Potenza he hit big with his "The Dude" voice (which we now know Chris), but prior to that he got kicked back many-many times before he had that breakout voice. It's a long tedious trial error process, with many chances of failure, and very high competition.

Furthermore, it's a lot more than just "reading lines", with many VAs they will "get into character" and try to be there. They often accomplish this by integrating facial expressions and sometimes gestures while voicing. To be a good actor (live action or VA), the key isn't to "act", but to "live".
