Akira Kataoka

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.

The goal is to deliver 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 wonderful 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.
