Found this on the Shokugeki no Soma Reddit. It's a translation of an interview with the seiyuus for the new Elite 10 characters that will appear in season 3. See here for source (though it's in Japanese) 

Questions:

  • (1) What is your impression of Shokugeki no Soma?

  • (2) What was your first impression of your character?

  • (3) Your thoughts on taking part in S3 of the anime!

1st Seat Tsukasa Eishi - Ishida Akira:

  1. (1) Even if there’s a fine line between craving for competition and craving for consumption (as in “eating food”), you can’t completely separate the two when portraying people. I suppose it means consumption isn’t limited to satisfying an empty stomach after all.
  2. (2) When I look at how Tsukasa Eishi is depicted, the saying “Heaven does not give two gifts” comes to mind. Personally I like how he’s imperfect as a person.
  3. (3) Since I’m hopping on midway through the story, I hope I can quickly adapt to Shokugeki no Soma’s atmosphere.

2nd Seat Kobayashi Rindou - Itou Shizuka:

  1. (1) It’s full of delicious looking food and I get hungry looking at them. I would love to encounter this cooking battle in real life…!
  2. (2) That she’s a frank, lovely onee-san who seems to like fun. I love doing those types of characters so I’m looking forward to it.
  3. (3) I was thinking it would be sad to end with the OVA, so I’m very happy! I’ll do my best to voice her charmingly!

4th Seat Akanegakubo Momo - Kugimiya Rie:

  1. (1) I thought it was a very lively, flamboyant, fun-looking work with many characters. I’m glad I can take part in it!
  2. (2) At first glance she’s very adorable, but then she has this style of transmitting her true nature, and I think that makes her an appealing character.
  3. (3) I’m a “beginner” in Shokugeki no Soma, but I’ll do my best so people could enjoy it!

6th Seat Kinokuni Nene - Hanazawa Kana:

  1. (1) I love eating, so this manga stimulated my imagination and appetite when I imagined what each dish would taste like!!
  2. (2) That she’s a girl who may not speak much but is very sharp-tongued. I’m interested by how her mysterious air seems to be hiding something.
  3. (3) So far as Nene-chan I’ve only spoken a few lines, but I hear the Elites will play a very active role in S3 so I can’t wait to see what kind of battle it’ll be!!

8th Seat Kuga Terunori - Kaji Yuuki:

  1. (1) The impression I got was an exquisite balance between “food” and “battle” and “human drama”. All the characters are cool, and cute… I felt it’s a manga you wouldn’t tire of reading, with plenty of comedic and sexy moments sprinkled throughout.
  2. (2) This goes for all the characters… but Kuga had an especially strong impact. He is so himself from his very first appearance! (laughs) I think his appeal as a character comes from the way he feigns composure but also acts belligerent, and the switches from comedic to serious, so I’d like to voice him with those in mind.
  3. (3) So glad it didn’t end with the OVA! (laughs) Personally, I sense that Kuga is a fairly difficult character so I’m very much looking forward to voicing him. There will be many other new characters. Please wait until the show airs!
-----------
Really hope the anime incorporated the events of the OVA...though if not, it's an excuse to go watch it I guess.
