About Natsuko

I am raising three children. I enjoy making strawberry parfait and strawberry daifuku with strawberries from my garden…. I am grateful for the blessings of nature and enjoy my daily life. I appreciate seasonal events and Japanese culture. Please have a look at my private Instagram.It is in Japanese, but I think you will enjoy it with the pictures.

In 2023 and 2024, I served as a judge for the International Narration Awards. I have also served as a judge for the NHK Junior High School Student Broadcasting Contest and other contests in Japan.

I went to Los Angeles to accept a nomination for the 2023 ,2024 International Voice Awards.

At the awards, where voice actors from all over the world gather, I learned about their approach to their work, the similarities and differences with Japan, and so on.

As with any job, there is no end to the learning. I want to provide narration that meets your needs.
