Lol. If you want to hear more of that voice, you can hear the seiyuu, Kobayashi Akiko, as Kisa, the depressive girl in episodes 13-26 of Zettai Shounen. (That whole series is definitely worth watching, in my opinion).

As for seinen and josei, I think they just refer to the target audience: upper teen/young adult guys for seinen, and girls that age for josei. Guys are supposed to graduate from shounen to seinen manga, and girls from shoujo to josei manga. I'm not familiar enough with the titles, but you can only really tell by seeing which magazine the manga is serialized in: shounen or seinen, shoujo or josei. And the manga for older ages often don't have furigana (little characters that give poorer readers the pronunciations of kanji), whereas shounen and shoujo manga do.

It's hard to tell from content which is which, since there is some crossover. Certainly fanservice is mainly for guys and romance mainly for girls, but it's not that simple. Depends on what the publishers think the taste of people those ages in Japan is at any given time. And they can change the emphasis of an anime from its manga, to broaden the appeal.
