Sawako Kuronuma in Kimi ni Todoke / From Me to You on Netflix
I can't believe I get to say that I'm the English voice of Sawako (not Sadako) Kuronuma in Kimi Ni Todoke / From Me to You Season 1 and 2 on Netflix!
Huge thank you to Bangzoom, Mami Okada, AJ Gam, Julie Maddelena Kliewer, Erica Mendez, and Netflix for having me.
Shoutout to sound engineers and mixers Isaac Caldas, Esgardo Valadez, John Shieh, Jay Brannen, and Kenneth Thompson for having to record and work with the soft voice I used for Sawako. Thank you for the fun sessions and for making us all sound amazing!
This show has been a long time favorite of mine and was a dream role I never thought would come true. Getting to balance comedy with drama in one character is every actor's hope and desire and I felt a lot of pressure not to screw this up because I love this show so much.
Sawako is bright, naive, unintentionally creepy, silly, sensitive, and extremely expressive. The comedic timing of her silly faces would catch me off guard every time! If you haven't seen it yet and love a slow burn rom-com, please check it out!
