Do you ever notice how when you hear a certain anime voice actor over and over again, you would always connect their voice to a significant past role? For example, Wendee Lee's voice will always remind me of Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop), no matter what other roles shes played in other anime titles.

Likewise with a Japanese VA, whenever I hear a character voiced by Yuki Matsuoka, I somehow instinctivley connect that character with Osaka (Azumanga Daioh.)

I'm not sure if this is something common for most of you.

Well, I'm an insanely huge geek when it comes to Japanese seiyuu, so I associate almost every character I hear with at least two other characters. A lot of them are instantly recognizable, like Morikubo Shoutarou, Ishida Akira, Minagawa Junko and Kanna Nobutoshi, but others are harder. It's actually fun to try and place their voices.

My favorite will always be Paku Romi, though. ;)

Yeah, it is actually kind of fun to hear someone that sounds familiar in an anime. Though I guess you sort of need to "fine-tune" your ear to notice a particular voice over (without even referring to the credits).
