Saori Hayami

Hayami is, to my ear, one of the most quietly versatile voices working in anime. There's a clarity and dignity to her delivery that can anchor a scene without ever showing off, and her singing carries the same disciplined warmth. Winning the Seiyu Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2016 feels apt: she's the performer who elevates whatever she's beside. What impresses me is the range of her career, voice acting, music, radio, production, all in service of going deeper into the craft of sound.
