The Crunchyroll Anime Award for Best VA Performance are awards given at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards rewarding the best voice acting performance in anime. Given annually by the anime streaming service Crunchyroll, winners are determined through a combined voting process by judges and public voting.[1]
Since its inception at the 3rd Crunchyroll Anime Awards in 2019, it has awarded voice acting for anime in the Japanese and English language. Since then, it has included voice acting for localized dubbing of anime in other languages, including Arabic, Castilian Spanish, French, German, Italian, Latin American Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, and Russian. The Russian category was dropped in 2023, most likely due to the suspension of Crunchyroll's services in Russia in March 2022 in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2]
