As part of a series of interviews with veteran anime voice talent, Hayashibara recently spoke with magazine Seiyu Premium about her wealth of experiences and observations.
Looking back, Hayashibara marks the 1990s as being a turning point for voice actors.

So what advice does Hayashibara have for young voice actors?
