Hi, I am Akira Kataoka, a Japanese voiceover artist.
I believe that voiceover is the ultimate communication tool.
It is the art of curating information through voice—adjusting pitch, pacing, tone, and timing to shape the depth and nuance of a message,delivering it exactly as the client envisions.
Voiceover is the final bridge between a brand and its audience. It is the voiceover artist who fine-tunes this connection, ensuring that words don’t just inform, but truly resonate. During my student years, I often heard people say, “Akira, you have a great voice.” That was when I first began to consider a career in voiceover and voice acting. A voice that leaves a positive impression is a powerful advantage in everyday communication.
I saw voice work as a natural extension of this—an opportunity to turn vocal presence into something that amplifies stories, deepens connections, and moves people.
In my pursuit of what makes great voiceover and great communication,
I have had the privilege of voicing projects for global giants like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft,
as well as local businesses—family-run shops, small-town factories—each with their own rich, meaningful stories to tell.
I’ve even heard people say, “I became a fan of this company because of your voice.”
There is no greater honor than knowing that my voiceover has helped bring brands closer to their audiences. Moving forward, I will continue to explore the power of voice, crafting exceptional communication experiences—one project, one client, one story at a time.
