Who's your favorite? Who's the face behind the voice of your Favorite Anime?
One of my favorites is Jessica Boone who does the voice of Arumi from Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi.

Haley Joel Osment, he did Sora's voice for Kingdom Hearts and Takashi's from IGPX. I also like Tara Strong, I think it's just because she's the first VA I ever really noticed. Since then I've been paying better attention. ^__^

Um, way too many to count? Crispin Freeman is a favorite in the english ones. And who does Vash? I love his voice.
As for Jap ones, I don't know any names, but whoever does Konohamaru's has a really cute voice, I love Envy's jap voice (not so much the dub), Sasuke's is sexy, and Gaara's is freakin' perfect! Oh, and Shikamaru. (I have no complaints on who they cast in Naruto, every single one is perfect.)

Love Hilary Haag too. As much as I don't like dub voice actors, there are good ones out there.
Scott McNeil has a huge voice range and he's such a great person. He does way too many roles.
Kelly Sheridan does Sango from Inuyasha and that's the whole thing I've heard her do, but THIS is a good English dub voice actor. Just because she can pronounce Japanese words SO well. ^^

How can you like the English seiyuu?they have no emotions.
As for me it's Megumi Hayashibara all the way (Voice of Lina from Slayers, Rei from Evangelion, Canal from Lost Universe and many more.)

Chris Sabat also did Piccolo and Yamcha in DBZ along with Vegeta. he also Kuwabara in Yu Yu Hakusho and Alex Louis Armstrong in Fullmetal Alchemist so he has quite a range in his voice and is quite good. oh and hey is that Kira from Gundam Seed or Shin from Gundam Seed Destiny in your avatar.

Oh Yeah, I forgot about Trunks, He was well acted too :P One of the few voices in DragonballZ I actually liked :P Now, i wonder if they intended Android 17 to sound homosexual (no offense to anyone) and Android 18 to sound extra slutty :rolleyes:

I joined the Tomokazu fangirl-legions when I found out he voiced Shuichi in Gravitation. XD;
My fave seiyuu list is:
関 智一(せき ともかず) Seki Tomokazu
Shuichi (Gravitation), Chichiri (Fushigi Yuugi -no da! Oh and Kouji! ^.^), Kyo (Fruits Basket XD), Ken (Weiss Kreuz, I've yet to see that anime but heard it was great), Kamui (X the movie), Miyata (Hajime no Ippo / Fighting Spirit), Kunio (GTO), Alex (blonde scientist in Ayashi no Ceres), the boyfriend-guy in My Hime... And so many other roles! He was in so many series, and usually has main roles! And apparently he's the star of a sentai show called "Cosmos X". XD;;;! *has to watch that sentai show!!*
石田 彰(いしだ あきら) Ishida Akira = LOVE <3!
Kaworu (Eva), Chrno (Chrno Crusade), Satoshi (DN Angel), Nagi Homura (My Hime, the blue haired vilain I think), Xelloss (Slayers) of course, and the most disturbing role being Nanami (Sukisho). XD; I couldn't believe he was voicing that kind of character, all through my watching of Sukisho. XD; *nerd* A surprise to me was that he voiced the blonde guy (that used to be fat when he was young, you know?) in Kare Kano. I need to watch that series again (while skipping the hundreds of recap episodes of course).
井上 和彦(うのうえ かずひこ) Inoue Kazuhiko
Yuki Eiri (Gravitation), Aion (Chrno Crusade), Hatori (Fruits Basket), Gunter (Kyou Kara Maou XD), and a bunch of small roles. His voice is so sexy and suave... It's funny to hear him as Gunter. XD And in the Gravitation drama CDs, in Shuichi's fantasies... XD "Orya orya orya!"
子安 武人(こやす たけひと) Koyasu Takehito
Hotohori (FY), Sakano-san (Gravitation XD that in itself is awesome), Rezo (Slayers, how cool!), Ilparazzo-sama (Excel Saga XD XD), DNA2's prissy evil guy xþ, Yoru main guy in Sukisho, AND... wait for it... Hanagata in Saber Marionette J!!! XD *worships Takehito Koyasu forever~~!* XD Oh and of course Aya and creator of Weiss Kreuz. Aaand Jean Jacques Mondo (Spriggan, the blonde guy), Betterman Lamia (Betterman o.o). Huge career huh. o.o; And has quite ecclectic roles. XD I worship him for voicing Sanako and Hanagata! XD <3
林原 めぐみ(はやしばら めぐみ) Hayashibara Megumi
Just too many roles to name. XD She's everywhere. I love her songs. Her favorite role would have to be Lina I guess.

Most of the time when I watch my shows, I watch them with the japanese audio. But there's one American VA that I really like: Melissa Charles... at least thats what one of her pseudonyms are. Something about her voice... i just enjoy listening to her roles.
GracieLizzy
03-22-2006, 07:55 AM
Three more I just remembered:
Junko Iwao (Ceres -Ayashi no Ceres, Tomoyo -CCS, etc.)

Janice Kawaye (Ami -Hi Hi PuffyAmiYumi, Jenny/XJ9 -My Life as a Teenage Robot, etc.)
