Hi, I’m Akira Kataoka, a native Japanese voiceover artist fluent in both Japanese and English.
My voice is often described as trustworthy, energetic, and friendly—a perfect match for corporate videos, commercials, and e-learning content that need clarity with character.
I work from a professional-grade home studio equipped with a LEWITT LCT 441 FLEX microphone, Focusrite Scarlett Solo interface, Sony MDR-CD900ST headphones, and iZotope RX10 Standard for pristine editing and mastering.
My past work includes narration for YouTube Premium commercial campaigns, the audio guide for the Palace of Versailles, and the audio guide for the UK Parliament's Palace of Westminster.
I pride myself on fast turnaround (usually within 24 hours of confirmation), as well as my adaptability—offering alternate takes, adjusting tone as needed, and ensuring your script sounds natural in Japanese.
As a native speaker with strong editorial skills, I also help check Japanese scripts for flow and tone if desired.
Let’s bring your message to life—with nuance, precision, and impact.
