The average jap voice actor is better than the average English voice actor. Overall the Japanese take their jobs much seriously, have voice acting schools and the like. In Japan it is a profitable job that allows you to reach celebrity status, so pretty much everyone with genetic talent joins up too.
There is still bad voice acting in Japan, though. Just watch this season's Natsunagu or 22/7 to cringe at it.

If you're comparing against anime dubs, absolutely. If you're comparing Japanese VAs doing Japanese works to English language VAs doing productions with an actual budget, with a work that was originally written in English, they're basically the same in quality.
Competent English language VAs are probably a lot more expensive, though, due to the differences in how the unions and pay scales work.

english voice actors are 99% weebs who think emoting and overacting will shoehorn them into the industry. they have 0 training other than practicing alone in their rooms.

Probably why anime is so unpopular in Japan.
Evan Bennett
Good english voice actors aren't doing anime dubs.

jap VA directors/producers are 10000% better than western VA directors/producers.

"good" english VAs are just people with unique sounding voices. no real depth.
