Why do I hear the same female voice in EVERY anime?

Question

In the english dub versions I hear the same few voices but especially the young-sounding female voice. Are there so few voice actors doing this, or is that just a very desirable sounding voice?

Answer 1

both I would say, 1. there arent as many voice talents available in the US and 2. they pick who they like, if the person has done other work then they have experience and know what their doing

Answer 2

Sometimes they can only hire a few people because they cannot pay them all. Or sometimes it is just hard to find the perfect voice for anime characters, and just stick to one that suits anime voice, especially the children voices.

Answer 3

seriously.. i have no clue.. but i hear that alot. I was watching Full Metal Panic.. and i sware i heard someones voice in there as a different character. I really think that alot of people sound alike.. for, in one show, i looked up the characters of two people that sounded the same, and it wasn't the same person.
