...Nah, most of them are still pretty bad. Anime voice actors over-act WAY too much. They sound like they're trying way too hard to be an anime character instead of just a character.

Why do you think a huge amount of anime voice actors don't ever do anything BUT anime (with a few exceptions such as Steve Blum)? Because they're not actually good enough to be hired to work on American cartoons. It sure as hell isn't because voice acting for anime pays well enough to do that alone.

I feel like so many anime fans are really embarrassed about how weaboo they used to be and are now overcompensating by pretending that dubs are a lot better than they actually are. They're better than they WERE, but still not "good" (again, with some exceptions).

Oh, almost forgot. Before someone cries "BUT JAPANESE VOICE ACTORS AREN'T THAT GREAT EITHERRRR", I don't speak Japanese and therefore I do not notice or care. And that still doesn't make American dubs any better, so it's pointless to bring up.

To be fair a TON of anime voice actors also work on American cartoons.

Because they don't live in Los Angeles. The four major English-dubbing companies are based in Dallas (Funimation), Houston (ADV/Sentai), New York (4Kids) and Vancouver (Ocean), so the actors in their dubs live there. However, if you want to do American cartoons and video game work, you need to be in LA.

Also, a lot of actors in anime dubs also work behind-the-scenes in the dubbing industry, as writers, directors, etc. So they don't do anything other than anime because it's already a full-time job for them.
