My Take
I have so much respect for Tomokazu Seki, because the man is basically a one-person ensemble cast. I'll be listening to a slick, cool pretty-boy in one anime and a goofy comic-relief guy in the next, and it genuinely takes me a beat to realize it's the same throat doing both. That's the trick I love about him: he doesn't just read lines, he becomes a totally different person with a flick of tone. And he's not content to stay in his lane either, voice acting, stage, music, radio host, narration, like why pick one? The fact that the industry handed him a Voice Actor Award influencer prize in 2022 tells me he's not only good, he's been out there hyping the whole craft. A Tokyo veteran who still surprises me. Honestly, legend.
