Top 15 seiyuu with the best singing voice

The Hand That Feeds HQ

We’ve all heard of many actors turned musicians in Europe or the US. And we hear how they fail to make the jump because simply they don’t sound good singing. In Japan is a totally different situation. In Japan the art of singing or voice acting is much respected since it’s one of the hardest to master.
