who?

What I love about Maaya Sakamoto is that there is always excellence in her performance, whether she's singing or acting. And she never seems to use the same voice for a role twice. It's always a nice surprise to hear a great song or voice and I look it up to find that it's Maaya Sakamoto.

If being a seiyuu wasn't an idol business she'd certainly get more recognition.

>>152063720
The one who refuses to sing character songs because such things are beneath her.

>>152063873
Agreed. I was surprised she was Kaguya in Fune wo Amu, because she actually tries to act the characters.

Nana always sounds the same. No range in her voice acting

that's not sawashiro

>>152064249
Hinata and Lan Fan are the only characters I even recognize on there

Maaya's acting is top class. She even gave Lightning a kind of personality. I'm less impressed by her singing. She tends to sing high, where her voice is thin.

I don't have a source handy, but this is true. She gave an interview a while back discussing how creating music is a personal thing to her, and she wants the songs she releases to come from her, not from a 2D character. This seems to line up with her continuing to discover herself as a musician and writing a greater percentage of the songs on her recent albums (Singer Songwriter was 100% written AND composed by her). IIRC it's the reason White Lies or whatever they used for the Shinobu arc was an instrumental.

This is mostly beside the point anyway since Maaya is a flawless goddess and she can do whatever the fuck she wants.

>>152066810
Miyuki isn't as close to the other two though. Marina Inoue, Eri Kitamura, and Yuu Asakawa have better range and skills than her as a whole.

True that. Maaya is one hell of an actress; she's supposedly been doing theater since she was a kid, and boy does it show - she's a consummate pro. I've seen her on stage twice, in Les Miserables and pic related, and the presence she has onstage is incredible. "Lights up the room" is an understatement.

>>152066916
I know, but she is a favorite of mine because she voiced many characters I like a lot. If I had to swap her out for another seiyuu I would take Asakawa Yuu.

>>152066897

>>152067211
Is this worth watching just for Maaya's character? I've watched way worse shit just to hear her voice (worst so far is Appleseed XIII. She was also a guest character in one episode of Joker Game, so I have to see that now too.)

>>152067269

Yes, but I also liked how the tone of her voice change three times in the span of 10 seconds.

Not really. Depends on the role. Try watching Burn-Up Scramble seventh episode and the Witchblade anime.

Well, Nana is mostly known as singer than a seiyuu, nobody will mention Nana, if aspiring seiyuu being asked who are they look up as seiyuu but if they are idol seiyuu wannabe they will mention Nana as the seiyuu they look up to or want to be.

There is this seiyuu general election yesterday when other popular seiyuu picked their favorite
>>152065650 and Nana can't even make it top 25, I expected her to be in it but then I realize her popularity come first from her being a big pop singer than a seiyuu.

Only Miyukichi made it at #4 from rather young generation though she is actually veteran

>>152069308
Looks like Aoi.

>>152063480
I really love the fact that she married Mikiya's VA that is some cute stuff. Only reason I even played FF13 as well.

Yesterday was horrendous. Nice reminder that there is an entirely different kind of bias in that sector of the industry.
And Sawashiro has been phoning in performances for years now.

That is what typical mad idolseiyuufags said. Kek, why would popular seiyuu pick another seiyuu around their pear, when they know the politic making stars and idols behind their popularity. Those veteran are in those jobs for years and still relevant, they are legend.

Absolutelly this

What I hate now is that seiyuus nowadays always use the same voice for all the new roles they get, such as Hanakana o Hayamin

>>152071303
I only find that a problem when they get cast too often. Voices might be the least important thing until they become too recognizable as HanaKana rather than the character.

>>152071405
>I only find that a problem when they get cast too often
Which happens quite often recently. A seiyuu gets big and then is voicecasted in 4-5 different roles in a season using the same voice.

The latest example being Takahashi Rie
