Surprisingly, most seiyu do not use a %26quot;different%26quot; voice, they use their own voice with attention paid to the emotions of the character and their interpretation of the script. For voice manipulation electronically, there is always AutoTune and hardware by Korg and tc Helicon.



I have had the privilege of meeting one of Jaapan's best and most famous seiyu, Inoue Kikuko. She has done hundreds of characters...and they all sound like Inoue Kikuko. Listen to her as Belldandy in AMG, Manager-san in Chobits, and Kazumi Mizuho in Onegai Teacher. She sounds exactly the same...and exactly the same as she sounds when she is speaking normally. She uses very slight mannerisms in some characters...like that little skipped breath when Belldandy says, %26quot;Keiichi-san.%26quot; It is almost like a stifled cry or a hiccup. I have never heard anyhing like it by any other vboice actor.



In the US, I have met Tiffany Grant...and she sounds like Asuka Langley Sohryu when acting and when speaking. Of course, she doesn't yell and scream as much, but you can hear Asuka in every word she says.



One of the best ways to learn how to make your voice flexible is to mimic (also a good way to learn Japanese pronunciation...I mean, hey...it is how all of us learned to talk in the first place.) Watch an anime you like...write down some dialogue from the character and then practice...and then do it with the sound turned off. It will help you a lot.
