Hi! I'm Tanaka, and I'm an aspiring voice actor! My voice has been described as "soothing," and I specialize in young adult/adult "heroine" type voices.

Although I am relatively new to the voice acting scene, I am no stranger to acting, writing, and directing-two plays that I've written have been performed in New York City during One Act festivals, and a film about mental health that I wrote, directed, and edited was selected for the First Time Filmmakers Sessions.

Through the YoungArts Foundation, I participated in masterclasses with Renee Elise Goldsberry, Malcolm Getts, and Jeanine Tesori. During the Summer Residential Governor’s School of the Arts Program, I worked under Michael Boynton and Caroline Price, who both studied at the Moscow Art Theatre. 

I also originated a role for a play that premiered at the DC Capital Fringe Festival in 2018. I have also acted as a lead role in several independent films for Overcranked, a film class at UVA taught by Academy Award Winner Paul Wagner.

I am so excited and am constantly invigorated by working with other artists. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hopefully working with you soon.
