What are five of your favorite voice actors?
First off, hello, everyone. I look forward to being a member of this community as it grows and evolves.
I'm a big fan of voice actors and I'm curious as to what other voice actors people enjoy here. So, in your comment, list 5 or so voice actors that you particularly enjoy and some of their roles.
You're viewing a single thread.
You know, the main reason I didn't comment here earlier is that I find it basically impossible to narrow it down to 5. I'm always bumping against MAL's stupid "maximum 10 favorites per category" limit, where to make matters worse they decided that all real people are a single category.
That said: for voice actors, I distinguish between "breadth" (the range of different characters they can convincingly play) and "depth" (the acting skill of portraying a character realistically through a wide range of situations and emotions).
There are some seiyuu that excel at one of these dimensions. E.g. Atsumi Tanezaki has amazing breadth, from Mizore to Vivy to Anya to Futaba. Also Yumiri Hanamori.
Tomoyo Kurosawa has great depth, I don't think there is any other seiyuu who can play a teenage girl as realistically as her, with all the little vocal quirks.But the greatest have both, breadth and depth. HanaKana, Aki Toyosaki, Nao Touyama, Maaya Sakamoto, Saori Hayami are in that category for me.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
