This isn't true... they hold auditions. And then the ADR Directors and/or Casting Directors decide on a cast based on said auditions.
They don't usually just give roles away... this is a job, just like any other, it's not that easy.
I've listened to some great ADR Directors talk about what they do, and I can say they put a lot of thought into their casting.
On a more related note, if Umineko were to get a FUNimation dub, I'd totally love to hear Colleen Clinkenbeard voice Beato. She's played a role of Ohara's before, and she was fantastic.
