As a native Japanese speaker who continues to study English, I take on short narration projects and simple English announcements. Rather than aiming for native-level, long-form narration, I focus on delivering clear and courteous English.
In fact, I narrated a special episode of the mini-anime series “Smith’s Training Diary,” introducing useful English phrases for Japanese bus drivers to communicate with the growing number of international tourists.
