Sarah Natochenny

Sarah Natochenny holds a special place for me because she is a bridge between cultures. A New Yorker who has voiced Ash Ketchum in the English dub of Pokémon for years, she carries one of anime's most iconic roles, originally a signature part for a female actor in Japan, into the English-speaking world. That is a real weight to shoulder, and she has done it with longevity. Her range, including Alya in a Russian-laced romantic comedy and game work like Bullet Witch, shows she is far more than one character. I am genuinely grateful for voice talents who carry Japanese stories across the ocean.
