Answered: Does anyone have any advice/resources for creating an Anime dubbing demo reel?

Depending on where you live, you can take a dubbing workshop. Most anime directors will insist that you have some experience and you really can learn all you need to know in a workshop. There is some lingo and a few expectations that are good to know going in. There are a few workshops in LA, and maybe NY. Some folks run workshops during anime conventions. Go to everythingvo.com, then to the VORG tab (Voice Over Resource Guide). Even if there are no classes in your area, you can contact a teacher from LA and find out if they'll be offering anything on the road, or you may want to come to town for a while and get some training.

Answered: I'm a student hoping to do voice over for animation in future, how should I start to build a vocal portfolio?

There are LOTS of places on the 'net where you can take classes and workshops and DIY books. Check out http://www.navag.org.

To build up your demo reel the best thing to do is check out all the different places (do a google search) that create machinima. They are ALWAYS looking for voices for their various characters. When you're first starting out, the more you do, even if it's non-paid the more experience you get AND the more you have to pick and choose for your demo reel.

I'd be glad to help you out further, email me at voiceactorsguild@gmail.com so we don't clog up this message board.
