I agree with your point completely. I've found that on the whole American actresses are least successful with the high pitched girl characters too. I think it's because hearing English as such a high pitch is unsettling on a subconscious level. When the American VA is portraying a less childish character with a lower more normal range pitched voice, she tends to be more successful. There are exceptions, of course, but in general that's my experience. Because Horo is a more mature character, I have higher hopes for a successful dub.
