I have a general tendency to like seiyuu who can sing; since I can't always afford to invest in buying the DVDs for an entire show, I usually settle for getting OSTs that have image songs (sung by the seiyuu themselves, of course) on them. And as a result, being a good vocalist generally makes me like a certain voice better, so that's what I use as a way to choose my favorites. Although oddly enough, even though I really don't like what I've heard of Ishida Akira's singing, he still ranks as a favorite (either that or Xellos's image songs aren't a good representative of his skills as a vocalist). But that may be because both Chrno and Athrun are currently on my favorite male anime character list at the moment . . .
And as far as I know, with the exception of Ishida Akira, all of them are recording artists . . . or at least they've released a few solo CDs and singles. I know Hayashibara Megumi and Sakamoto Maaya have been releasing CDs as recent as this year. (I'm not sure about Hayashibara's discography, but I know Sakamoto has at least 5 or 6 CDs out . . .)
