Hi, I'm Sarah Natochenny, I'm a voice actor.

You probably know me best as Ash Ketchum on Pokemon.

I'm also Delia Ketchum, and Staraptor, and Misdreavus.

Today I'm gonna be showing you my process

my job is to reinterpret it for an American audience.

The turnaround time for these shows is extreme,

I never get to see the script ahead of time,

And Ash, today you're gonna be running down the beach.

So I very rarely get to hear the other actors' performances.

she can predict all of their performances,

Next we watch the scene in Japanese, let's take a look.

- So a lot of stuff is happening in this scene.

He's running, he's out of breath, he's tripping over Litten.

And then he runs to his mom all excited and huffing.

And he's always huffing, he's always excited and huffing.

So I wanna do justice to that just with my voice.

So what I'm looking for when I see this in Japanese

is the mouth flap, where he moves his mouth.

where he has a [groan] like a clenched kinda teeth thing.

So first we're gonna do a whole run of the scene

and pickup all the parts where I messed up.

It's gonna be on there, you won't beat me.

You are about to meet Litten for the first time.

So this is where you're gonna keep running through

As soon as you get there you're gonna step on his tail

- So Sarah, I'm gonna give you three beeps

for the first cue, and then one beep for the following.

are darting back and forth from the page to the screen

and that I have the flap right at the same time.

I have to match the emotion that's happening onscreen.

and figuring out how to emote based on that.

So I look at his eyes, I look at his eyebrows,

I look at his mouth, I look at the way the animation is.

So now that we've done one take of this long pass

The line that you're, I know it's a long set

So when you ramp yourself up after Pikachu

So that you're sort of like pretty intense

by the time you actually step on Litten's tail.
