I actually prefer RWBY's voice acting to most games/anime out there. I'm no expert, so maybe I'm just not seeing the whole picture, but I really feel like the lines are very well delivered. For example, Monty sounds very quiet and reserved, like his character Lie Ren. Kara Eberle does a great job of sounding annoyed, as Weiss often is. She projects an air of grace and elegance that Weiss clearly has. And don't even get me started on Lindsay and Barbara. They nail all of their lines. All of them. Seriously, they're both on my top three list of awesome voice actors/actresses.

I also think the writing contributes. It's hard to sound good when you have cliche, unoriginal dialogue, something RWBY almost never falls prey to. And this is all my opinion. I'm not idealizing the show as a masterpiece because I love Rooster Teeth, I genuinely feel like RWBY is a fantastic work of art that surpasses all anime. I think RWBY is like the American equivalent of Attack on Titan. It's the new show that gets all of the hype, and that hype is well-deserved. Not to say RWBY is perfect. It has flaws, and some of the voice acting could use work (Adam, for example), but it'll get better as the show goes on.
