Welcome to Gaia! ::

I think a deep female voice... like Ogata Megumi. Perhaps a little harsh sounding, she's good natured enough in personality ^^

Well you know instead of picking voice actor lists... why don't we just talk about what kind of voices we think different characters should have? I know it's been discussed a bit here before... and that would be better then having people name voice actors you've never heard of for anime you've never watched.

Mmkay!

I will mention voice actors here, However, that is secondary for in all cases I I will explain what their voice is like first. Moreover I have tried only to mention well known voice-actors.

Raito
I don't think Raito should be dead-pan but not a lot of emotional veriety. This is because he is always very calm but he also seems very alive and with-it (hawk eyed).

I always have the impression that everything Raito says is on purpose. He has thought every friggin word through. This is why, a fairly clear voice. He's strongest emotion = being deep in thought.

The voice actor would have to make a slow train of thought sound wildly exciting.

Misa
I would hate to see Misa-chan turned into that character people hate very much so I'd prefer none of that squeaky cute (eg. Mariko Kouda/ 'Maki' from 'Marmalade Boy' and 'Nayuki' from 'Kanon').

I would actually like How about traditional Japanese girl. Rather like a girl you'd see on the street. For example, I have 'Aki Maeda' in mind. She played 'Noriko' in 'Battle Royale' and I assume a lot of you have seen that as Kazuo Kiriyama has been mentioned in a thread. Aki Maeda also sang the song for 'Boys Be' called 'Daijobu'... Besides, a sweet everyday girl voice would go better with her being an actress, right?

The file for the song 'Daijobu' can be found here.

L
L is crazy and quirky enough... so what about a voice that can change quickly between serious and light-hearted wackiness. Seki Tomakazu. I think he'd suit the part (roles: 'Van ' in 'Escaflowne', 'Touya' in 'Cardcaptor Sakura').

Tomakazu's hyper roles give the impression he'd not be suitable, but realise he is very capable of serious voice (see: Touya)

I said before I think Rem should be played by a deep voiced woman. though, not deep enough to sound like a pretty boy. However, It'd be great if it had a gruff edge. She's a Shigigami after all.

Theres a 1:25 sound file of Megaumi Ogata here. (direct link to the file) She's showing her ability to play high and low voices. Listen to the one about 22 seconds in. A little different and...could be rather like Rem.

---------- (if the direct link does not work, it should work from this site - here)

AirRazor? Definitely!

Scott's Piccolo or Wolverine voice is probably better for Ryuuk.

What about Cheetor for Matsuda?

I don't know the names of any voice actors I'm afraid... 'cause I just don't care about knowing them, really >.>;;

Now, about Sayu... her with a sugar cute voice would just irk me somewhat.

I agree about Remu having a voice where you can't tell which gender she is. I mean... it would loose the effect of her having to point out she's a girl completely.
