Tokyo? A radio program production company brought me to Tokyo for a planned morning radio show in Japan, with a Japanese bilingual co-host. The program didn't materialize, but I stayed on, doing voiceovers by day and teaching English by night. In 2006 I became a full-time freelance voiceover artist.
