Even though I probably won't watch the anime (but I'll still look for clips), and if I did it would be with the original Japanese audio and subtitles, I was curious to know what the voices would be like in English.
I'm not American or from an English-speaking country, so I don't really know what dubbing is like there, especially in anime. So I was wary that they didn't put to much effort into finding voices as similar to the original VAs as possible. Luckily, I was wrong.
I saw this English trailer and not only did I not feel any strangeness at all when listening to the students of Heartslabyul, but I think Riddle's voice couldn't be more identical and perfect!
I know some of the voices from Genshin Impact.
🌹 Paul Castro Jr. (Riddle) also voices Freminet in Genshin, a character I love and find super cute. In contrast to Freminet's shy personality, Riddle's rage attacks/tantrums are also perfectly acted.
♥️ Max Mittelman that in Twisted Wonderland will be Ace, in Genshin he is the voice of Itto, the character that I always thought had the best voice actor in the game. This guy is awesome!
♠️ Hunter McCoy will play Deuce. I'm not familiar with his work, but from what I can see in this trailer, I think he'll do a good job.
♦️ Cater was the one I felt was a little more... displaced? The voice is by Michael Sinterniklaas. I think to be more like the original it should be a little higher, but maybe that's a location choice. Anyway, I believe he will do a good job.
♣️ Trey is another one that I felt was more different from the original, but not enough to enter the uncanny valley for me. I can totally see Trey with the voice of Johnny Yong Bosch.

🦁 I don't know Major Attaway who will be the voice of Leona, but from what little I've heard of him, he has that deep voice that will be able to fit Leona and has the ability to be similar to the original.
🍩 I know that Zeno Robinson, who will play Ruggie, also voices Sethos in Genshin. He's a good VA, but I don't know anything about his other roles. I don't think the voice is a perfect fit, but my opinion could change completely depending on how well he adapts. The best VAs can play completely different characters. Either way, I believe he'll have the spirit.
🐺 I also don't know Kamran Nikhad, who will be playing Jack, but like Leona, from what little I've heard I think he'll be a perfect fit.
🐙 I know Alejandro Saab, who will play Azul. Not only because he's Cyno in Genshin, but also because I found his YouTube channel and think he's really fun. I'm excited to see how he plays Azul. I discovered that three years ago he made a short video trying to voice some of the characters, and one of them was Azul. I think he'll do a great job. *
🦦 A.J. Beckles will be Kalim. Another VA I don't know, but from what little I've heard of him as Okarun in Dandadan, he already sounds like a good fit.
🐍 Nazeeh Tarsha, who will play Jamil in Twst, is Alhaitham in Genshin. (Fun fact, in JP Alhaitham's VA is the same as Leona's) I think it will be a good fit, but it will be even better if he can make his voice a little softer. *
💀 Idia's VA will be Khoi Dao, whom I know a bit from playing Albedo in Genshin Impact. Again, I don't know how he adapts to a role, but in Idia's case, if he can do a slightly deeper voice, then he'll be perfect.*
🤖 Greg Vinciguerra will play Ortho. Once again, I don't know him, but I heard a few lines from his character in Cookie Run Kingdom, and I think he can be just as cute as the original VA.
🦇 Crispin Freeman will play Lilia. I don't know him, but from what little I've heard of him, I think he has the potential to be a good fit. It all depends on how cute and charming he can be with that voice.
⚔️ Silver’s VA will be Aleks Le. I don't know him, but from what little I've heard, I think he's a good fit.
⚡ Sebek's VA will be Danny Kramer. From what I've heard of him, I think the voice fits, but the real test will be when he screams "MY LIIIIIIIIEGE!!!"
🐈⬛ I think Ben Diskin's voice as Grim is a little off, but not enough that I can't imagine him with that voice.
🐦⬛ Same with J. Michael Tatum. Honestly, I like his voice for Crowley, even though it lacks some of the funny drama of the original VA, but maybe that's because we haven't heard enough of him yet.
.
About the rest: 🐬 Jonah Scott (Jade), 🦈 Kellen Goff (Floyd), 👑 Nick Monteleone (Vil), 🏹 Matthew Mercer (Rook), 🍎 Jesse Nowack (Epel) and 🐲 Jacob Carlson (Malleus). I couldn't find enough good examples of their voices to make me believe they were good fits, so I don't have an opinion more due to lack of info. Some of them will depend on how they can adapt. And in the case of Floyd and Rook, of this group, I think they are the most challenging characters to play.
.
Overall I think it's an excellent cast and I hope our fandom gives them all the love, support and a warm welcome that they deserve! ♥️♥️♥️ Especially since many of them on social media like Twitter interact a lot with fans and are clearly as eager and excited for this as the rest of us. 🥳

*** Alejandro Saab as Azul, Nazeeh Tarsha as Jamil and Khoi Dao as Idia. This is going to be beautiful... OMG 🤣🤣🤣
