Asuka's seiyuu Yuko Miyamura just did an hour-long live stream with the popular V-tuber Tamaki Inuyama, she talks about Evangelion quite a bit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G0tGFOVN1AHere's the timestamps of when she talks about Eva:
13:53 - Her experience when she first auditioned as Rei, she voiced her lines very energetically and lively so she was then asked by the staff to audition for Asuka instead
16:52 - The differences in how she performs Soryu and Shikinami, and how she sees the two characters as different. She talks about how when she first got the script for Q she and the rest of the seiyuu were so confused as to what was going on (just like the audience lol).
21:38 - She talks about the EVA Line Group and how she used it to keep in touch with everyone while living in Australia. Talking with Hayashibara and the others all congratulating each other for their hard work made her feel warm and less lonely.
23:59 - She talks about the difficulty in maintaining Asuka's voice for over 26 years. She says she would bring out the "14 year old girl" inside of her to keep Asuka's voice unchanging all this time, and with Shin Eva she could finally let that part of her free.
27:01 - She's then asked if she is Team Rei or Team Asuka, and she responds that she's Team Kawoshin (lol). She also says her favorite Eva characters are Asuka and Kaworu, and she asks a lot of famous artists and mangaka to draw Kaworu for her.
29:39 - Then she says Anta Baka!? for one of the viewers haha
