I've always wondered about this since I started watching this anime. When I found about it, I was pretty shocked! Anyway, Junko is great! Her voice transformation is amazing!

Mainly because she could voice a high strung 12 year old like Naruto and carry it over to when he became a teenager.

Just because they found a fitting voice for his character and it just happened to be a female ,there are a lot of females that voice younger guys in anime

a lot characters who are below the age of 18 have female voice actors

puberty makes your voice higher then deeper

how do you think an 11 year old or 12 year old sound

Adolescence deepens your voice regardless, just females do not deepen as low as males.

So is Bart's voice actor a female. . .Older males do not sound like teenage males.

What do you mean "why"? Because she voice acts the character so well and doesn't sound like a female whilst doing it. It's not that big of a deal. There are a lot of females that do voice acting for male characters. Not that surprising, to me.

Because there isnt a lot good young boys voice actors.
And it will be bad with a man voice because he is still young. A women is the better choice for naruto lol

It's easier for a female to act teen voice since their Adam's apple is not as dark/big as males.

That is what I believe.

I'm pretty sure the English dub is also a women.... I remember watching a vid of her doing the voiceover for Naruto, and I was like "whaaaat?"

Edit: Nvm, my post has no relevance to yours... Misinterpreted, sorry lol

Funnily enough, the woman who voices Trunks in DBZ is also a female.

Not only that, but she's bangin.
