Yeah, what I've always liked about voice acting is that how the person looks or even what their original voice is like doesn't matter. It's purely about the voice which makes it much easier for the voice to take center stage, and it allows people to voice other genders, races, species, objects, etc.

This real life person being present as themselves is not a trend I've liked. Good voice acting to me has been one where I am emotionally moved by the performance but don't automatically recognize the voice due to how well and unique the performance is. Plus, I don't like more regular voice actors being pushed aside by a listers.
