@AmehanaArashiI narrate as both Amehana Arashi or Teresa Garcia, depending on the venue and/or project. As Teresa Garcia I have narrated several self help books and The Ian's Realm Saga Trilogy. I also read for the Trotsdale Library when schedules allow. https://www.linktr.ee/Amehana
I'll hit the grand 42 rather soon, hopefully getting to see my mate again physically around that time. I've got two kids that are both young adults now, my youngest living with me so we can take care of each other. I'm way out in the mountains where cell signal is bad, wobbly, and requires a booster, and even with the largest satellite internet package we are throttled again two days after reset, so if voice chats are needed they have to be scheduled so I can get somewhere better for them. That said, I've got some auditory processing and anxiety issues, so I really prefer text communication about projects.

I can upload directly on ACX, or direct deliver files to be uploaded to Findaway (or your audio platform of choice). I am open to self-help, psychology, or fantasy titles. Besides voice acting and narration I also do work in illustration and editing, so my availability waxes and wanes depending on what current projects I have accepted.
I do most of my recording at home using a Zoom H2n, porting that into Audacity after the fact for processing. Earlier this year I purchased a portable professional sound booth but have not had the opportunity to test it out yet on a personal project. I also have recently learned that a localish library has a professional recording studio, but that is a 1.5 to 2 hour drive one way depending on the road conditions, so for projects requiring the use of that facility I need pad time.
Please follow my Linktree for information on the various areas where I work and the various projects I am part of, including my Youtube and podcast. https://www.linktr.ee/Amehana
Drama was taken by the entire 7th grade class, in which after study of several works we presented Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." I played a minor supporting character (one of the daughters at the party) but was responsible for my own costumery, helping with the set, and memorizing my lines and cues as well as that of others.
In my freshman year, I took the year-long drama course. Several plays were studied and practiced. I played a supporting role of a "doctor" in the class play and was responsible for the minor makeup my character required, memorizing my lines/cues, those lines/cues of others in case of a replacement being needed, and set construction/tear down. The play that we presented to the public for our class final was "The Imaginary Invalid."
The presentation was in 1996 due to how school years run in the USA.
Art was also presented, the instructor wanting to make sure both classes got taught, and she found art an important part of Drama.
Several plays were covered and practiced. The play chosen for the final presentation to the public was "Arsenic and Old Lace" in which I played a lead role (Martha I do believe, one of the sisters). I was responsible for the makeup and costuming of my character, and conferring with our director/instructor as to the best route to take when a hair issue came up. In addition to also learning my lines/cues I learned those of others, helped with the setup and teardown, and all other aspects of presenting a play.
The school year covered after the summer of 1997 to the summer of 1998, at the end of which I graduated from high school to college.

Several plays were studied over the year and practiced. As in previous years once cast in a role I was responsible to do my character makeup and costuming, learn my lines/cues and that of others, help with set construction/teardown, and all other aspects of producing and acting in a play. I had a supporting role. I do not currently remember the title of the play but will update when I do.
The school year covered 1996 to 1997. Presentation was in 1997.

I generally charge $50 per finished audio hour as my base price. This includes the original recording time as well as the audio processing. Complicated projects or ones with extensive retakes may have higher pricing to compensate for time worked.
Rough recording that is not processed is available much cheaper. Usually, this is $15 an hour for unprocessed files, but might be higher if I have needed to rent studio time during times the household is too loud to work in.
On occasion, I may choose to accept a project at a reduced price, tips, or for free for short things, but this is at my discretion and based on whether I can afford to donate that spent time. Donations can be made at my Patreon, my Ko-fi, BuyMeACoffee, Square's CashApp, or via my Paypal.
I prefer to voice to self-help, psychology, or fantasy audiobooks but am open to other titles and genres. My favorite roles are motherly and weary sounding roles or resignedly regal caretakers, but I can also do playful. I'd love to voice a McGonnagalesque role. I am also available for podcasting recording, video game voice work, ads, or any other related work. Besides voice acting and narration I also do work in illustration and editing, so my availability waxes and wanes depending on what current projects I have accepted.
