Official Seiyuu (Voice Actors and Voice Actresses) Thread

[wei 588]

Welcome to the Seiyuu thread, where anyone can discuss anything and everything about seiyuus. Be it your favourite seiyuus, seiyuu radio shows or seiyuu-related events, you can voice your opinions here. 

What are seiyuus?

Seiyuus, or voice actors/actresses, are the voices behind the characters in anime. Without them, anime would only have moving pictures with soundless characters, making it very dull indeed. Not only do seiyuus voice anime characters, but they also take part regularly in radio shows and live shows as well, making them all-rounders.

I was watching clips of Toshitai (radio show) today, and I was pleasantly surprised when Twice was mentioned by Oonishi Saori (she's the one doing the TT pose in the thumbnail).

It's confirmed; Oonishi Saori is a ONCE! She received a Jihyo fan for her birthday, and even knew that the fan was from the More and More era.
