It's a miracle if I can point out a female voice actor (especially when it comes to Japanese voice actresses), but it's so easy for me to hear a male voice actor and recognize him from somewhere else (mainly when it comes to Japanese voice actors since I'm more familiar with them).

Yeah, I think male Japanese voice actors are much easier to recognize for some reason.

I also struggle to recognize japanese female voice actors, with some exceptions. I guess the high pitched voices kinda blend together in my mind, ending up sounding the same.

I actually struggle with telling some men's voices apart in real life and it does sometimes bleed over into watching TV shows in general, not just Japanese anime.

If anything, it is easier to distinguish the voices of male voice actors. In my case, I don't have that many favorite female voice actors, and I think it's partly because I don't listen to their voice acting because I don't care.

I follow female VAs activities more, but still don't recognize their voice or gets them mixed up a lot compared to male VAs voices so I guess the male VAs are easier to recognize. Still pretty difficult for me overall, especially if they're newer VAs.

If I told you that JP VAs have 5-7 female voice archetypes, how do you feel?

The deeper male voices are easier to recognize.

It's opposite for me but I know more female than male seiyuu. But few I do know I can somewhat recognise. Not that I do it easily.

Male because their voices are lower overall and it seems easier to distinguish lower frequencies compared to higher ones.

Yeah, the male ones are easier to tell apart.

I'm getting much better at distinguishing female voice actors, but I've always had a knack for noticing male actors that I have heard before in works.

I also think for most of anime out there the male actor is the lead character or characters and females are usually the heroine or some sort of supporting cast. Of course there are a lot more female leads nowadays than before, so some good diversity is here.

I will also say even though I noticed male voice actors more, I have a much deeper respect for the female ones I do notice and follow.

I looked back at some of my favorite voice acting scenes in anime, and a majority of the moving scenes are because of the female voice actors going to town at the lines

I'd say female voice actors because most of my favorite characters are female.

I think it depends on their own range and style of acting. I havent noticed recognizing one over the other more.
