Quite a lot of the time, it isn't the quality of the actors that is the issue. It is the way they are allowed to act. In more recent times some companies have been spending less time and therefor less money on retakes, and taking only a few attempts per line to get it right. Unless they are all truely terrible they take the best one. For better dubs, they'll give the actors many attempts (within reason) to get it good, and take the best one. That way they can better grasp the quality.

And it may surprise you some of the companies that do the "cheaper, one-take" dubs. Dubs like Tekkon Kinkreet and Paprika are two, high profile series such as Bleach and Naruto I'd imagine are also small-take dubs. Companies such as ADV and FUNimation are less obsessed about the fewest take route, and focus more on the "best take" approach.



Do you have history acting? If no, I'd give up before you've even started :)
