Rica Kato
The sarcastic best friend. Your little sister who’s smarter than you. How a hamster would sound if they could talk. I can do all this and more!
From shy nerds to sassy cheerleaders, grumpy little boys to creepy little girls, scheming elves to witchy old ladies—or just my natural voice that’s been described as sweet, smart, and surprising—I’ve got a unique sound that brings a fresh approach to commercial and character voice over.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area with a broadcast-quality home studio and remote recording capabilities, I’m ready to brighten your project with genuine warmth and unexpected wit.
Training: Voice One in San Francisco, plus coaching and workshops with amazing instructors like Sally Clawson, Lori Alan, Kirsten Day, Zehra Fazal, Calum Grant, Chris Hackney, Joe Hernandez, Melissa Hutchison, Jordan Reynolds, and Stephanie Sheh
Studio: Rode NT1, Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, Source Connect, high-speed wired internet
