A couple more people are confirmed (and denied!) for the IY English dub:

The new voices for Sesshoumaru and Kagome
Filed under: Random — Starks at 10:58 am on Thursday, September 9, 2010

Kirby Morrow reveals in a podcast with Trevor Devall that Sesshoumaru will be voiced by Michael Daingerfield (Johann – Gundam 00).

Some 18 hours later, Michael tells me in an email that Moneca Stori will not be reprising her role as Kagome and has been replaced by Kira Tozer. To the best of my knowledge, she has no experience in anime, but the clips of voice that I've heard are pretty good.

Thank you to Mugen for the tip about Daingerfield.

Yeah, I saw this a couple days ago, but didn't know how "official" it was. I think Michael Daingerfield is a terrible choice for Sesshoumaru--he doesn't have that cultured-sounding quality Sesshoumaru needs, IMO. Kira Tozer has done voice work for some of the Barbie animated movies. Her voice is actually similar to Moneca Stori, but maybe a tad less ... childish. Changing Kagome's VA may have been dictated by a desire to make her sound more mature since she is supposed to be mature enough to get married by the end.
