Today i wanna tell u bout seiyuu
A Seiyuu is essentially a Japanese voice actor and just like English-speaking voice actors, they can work in a variety of productions, including movies, television series, radio and even providing voices for video game characters.
The word seiyuu is actually a shortened version of the kanji used for "voice actor" - koe no haiyu, however many older voice actors resent this particular term.
There are three main factors that set voice actors and actors apart.
- Their professional upbringing by the Tokyo Broadcasting Drama Troupe (東京放送劇団 Tōkyō Hōsō Gekidan), formed by NHK and other private networks during the golden age of radio dramas.
- Due to the lack of Japan-made movies and dramas, TV networks were forced to air foreign shows, and that raised demand for voice actors.
- The boom in the anime world market, which produced a wave of young talents who wanted to become voice actors rather than actors.
Five ways to become a voice actor
By looking at some of today's voice actors' careers, the majority of them became famous treading one of the following five paths:
From broadcasting drama troupe member
Trained by broadcasting drama troupes, they specialized in roles requiring voice acting other than announcing, particularly radio drama acting.
Local broadcasting stations also helped many voice actors in the early stages of their careers, before the television age and the advent of foreign drama series concentrated most of the voice acting business in the Tokyo area.
From child actor
Some voice actors are middle-school children who joined youth theatrical companies (Himawari Company, Komadori Group) and honed their acting skills with them, then took up a career as full-time voice actors after graduating from high school.
There have been cases of young people who started appearing in voice acting roles while still in middle-school.

From theatre actor
Sometimes theatre actors, whether they be in high school, specialized schools, university or having just graduated, are scouted by people in the anime industry to become voice actors. This happens to actors affiliated with the major Shingeki theatre companies, which include the Bungaku Company, the Seinen Company, the Troupe Pleiades, the Theatrical Group EN and Theatre Echo.
Some young talents became voice actors after winning nation-wide contests held by magazines or production companies (although they still usually had to attend voice acting schools after winning the contest to learn the trade).

Hows it ? How old she is ?
She was born in 1976 lol. What young face she have. Thats why i call it seiyuu-ception #slapped (；-◞౪◟-)
From different roles in the entertainment world
Junko Iwao and Noriko Hidaka are examples of idols who later took up voice acting roles (the latter having some experience as a child actress). Former "gravure idols" (bikini models) who made a breakthrough as voice actresses include Marina Ōno, Ryōka Yuzuki and Chiemi Chiba.
Duties
Apart from other performances related to the characters they play, such as press conferences, anime news programmes or interviews, voice actors are also hired for company-internal training videos, supermarket announcements, bus route information broadcasts, ring announcers for professional wrestling and other fighting disciplines, and even railway station route announcements - tasks usually performed by professional announcers, even though the voice actors' employment or name are not always made public.
