Actually, the original Japanese voice actors for Mononoke Hime didn't do much anything else. (except Shimamoto Sumi - voice of Toki - who had a bunch of other minor roles)
They were good, but you can't say they are "some of the best voice actors in the industry."
The American voice acting was surprisingly very good (except Clair Dane - San). They were done by REAL actors instead of some random bum(s) off the street.
I am not trying to say that American dub is better than Japanese dialogue.
I am just saying that the Japanese voice acting isn't one of the best. And the American dub is pretty good.
(There is a reason why, in Japan, they re-released Mononoke Hime with American voice acting with Japanese subtitles.)
