What I'm looking for

I’m interested in using my sound engineering foundations to train, evaluate, and align advanced AI speech systems.

I create voice acting and narration for independent visual novels, digital media, and audio dramas. From my home studio, I record and edit audio, reduce noise, and deliver Japanese transcription and phonetic formatting to client guidelines.

At Niconico Live, I host interactive broadcasts and maintain clear, consistent audio during long-form sessions. I’m also interested in using my sound engineering foundations to train, evaluate, and align AI speech systems.
