Do you prefer (CV) with deep or soft voice?

definitely depends on the character for me too. (*´∀｀*)
i like the flirty mischievous type so rarely do they have a heavy bass baritone voice or a really soft voice for majority of the time. they're usually on the higher range with a lilt to show playfulness so
i'm team in between?
as for soft voices, they're usually attached to characters that don't align with my favorite tropes, but whiny, whispery soft voices are faaaantastic.

but, boy, howdy, does a nice low register voice talking sweet or being commanding just...sigh, i wish men were real sometimes..ᵉʰᵉʰᵉ(*/∇＼⭒)

I love softer voices!! Not child-like voices, but just like gentle and smooth voices like Hirakawa Daisuke, Keisuke Aikawa, Tetsuya Kakihara, Tachibana Shinosuke. God i wish Hirakawa did more cds because I love his unique voice so much

It definitely depends on the character and how the drama CD is delivered.
For binaural works, specifically works where the voice actor talks riiiiiight beside your ear, I enjoy deep voices! I think the vibration, if that makes sense, of the voice really enhances the tingling feeling you're supposed to get.
Soft voices are super nice for lovey dovey or emotional stories though! More, truly drama-like CDs akin to maybe a show or an audio drama?

I don't really have a strict preference. Even your favorite flavor of gum gets boring if you chew it all the time. I feel the same way about voice types.
I tend to like deep, mellow voices such as テトラポット登, 茶介 and 久喜大 because they feel very comforting and their voice acting is always amazing.
But after listening to that type of voice for a while, I'll switch things up and listen to sweeter, younger-sounding voices like 春男児, 湯町駆 and 佐和真中.
Also, even the same VA can switch between different voice types. Domon Atsushi is a good example—sometimes his voice is quite deep, and other times it's much brighter. And I have to say, his clingy, spoiled-sounding performances are adorable haha.
So it really just depends on my mood.Variety keeps things interesting.
