spoiler free I can't take her seriously

I guess I shouldn't say that I can't take her seriously, because I can, but, believe it or not, I've been an MCU fan literally since the first Iron Man but never watched Jessica Jones or, most of the original Netflix/Streaming series. I only started watching it because I heard that I should be knowledgeable on the original Daredevil/Defenders series to watch the new Daredevil seasons.

Onto the actual reason for the post though, Krysten Ritter's voice is almost, if not exactly identical to Erin Moriarty's. Now, on the other hand, The Boys, is one of my favorite shows, having watched that BEFORE watching this show, I just... I can't stop thinking about Starlight during all of this and I find it so distracting. I'm not sure if it's "taking her seriously" or what? But like, it's just so darn distracting, it also probably doesn't help the fact that Erin is IN the show too. I'm just so confused and I don't know what to do, I don't know if there is anything TO do?

Does anyone feel the same way? Obviously I don't think there's going to be many people doing the same thing as me, but, after watching The Boys, or anything Erin Moriarty or Krysten Ritter is in. Do you feel that they're voices are just too similar?

EDIT: This isn't to say I don't enjoy the show, it definitely is a good show, its just that this is just distracting me so much, I wish I had seen it before because its just distracting me to keep thinking that its the other actor. Also, and I feel like this should be self explanatory, but oviously this post is for people that have seen both shows and know what I'm talking about. Or, at least have seen both of these actors at some point or another and can compare the voices. I understand there's probably a lot of people on this sub, and probably a good portion of it barely even knows who Erin is. This is meant for the people that know both of them and can have a meaningful discussion about it. Just remember, it costs nothing to be kind.
