What voice would that be?
I want to start mimicking/shadowing to improve my Japanese speaking ability. So I’ll be doing my best to center that around one person who I would want to sound like? They can be from tv shows, a certain accent in general that’s sought after, etc.
For criteria, I don’t necessarily want to sound like some shounen anime voice (no Levi) (I’d be interesting in hearing those suggestions tho because it’d be funny seeing who people want to sound like). I’m looking for someone who has a) a clear and distinct voice b) is considered a beautiful voice even to the Japanese c) can be professional type of voice but not necessary

Don’t get your voices from anime. They all sound stupid and over the top.
Honestly, just focus on learning vocabulary and grammar first. It’s challenging enough to integrate every nuance of the language by just parroting. The pitch accent is what you’re alluding to, possibly without knowing. Worry about that later… because it’s an endeavour in its own right to study. Better to pick it up as you go along using your own voice and exposure then learn the ‘why’ later.
