Cheers to everyone who checks their call-time email on the day of a shoot multiple times, as if it might have changed since the last time they checked. 😅😂

Hey, voice actors. How are you staying cool in the booth this summer? 💦😰 For me, this neck ice ring from Daiso has been an absolute lifesaver. Just throw it in the fridge for 20 min or the freezer for 5, and it's ready to go. #voiceacting #voiceover

Psst. Want to know two unglamorous yet massively underrated skills as an actor/voice actor? Admin and schedule management.

I’ll have twenty-four hours to film and submit a self tape if I’ve passed. #actorslife #auditioning

If you're thinking about making a career out of voice acting (or any performing art), I strongly recommend that you consider the following. Your income will probably fluctuate drastically from month to month. How will you handle those times when you *don't* book your auditions?

Of course the busy season for voiceover would coincide with allergy season… 😅🤧

Sometimes, I get out from behind the mic and in front of the camera! I hosted part seven of the NHK documentary series, Journeys in Japan with Isabella Bird www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/... #japantravel #nhkworld

A year ago today, my best VO agent introduced me to the first “big girl” voice over job I would ever book. I was notified of my casting in early March and did the recording on my anniversary. All that to say: a year ago today, I still hadn’t booked my first commercial VO job. +

A year ago, I had yet to book my first commercial voice over gig. Last night, I did a remote recording session for a client in Europe. Sometimes I still can't believe that this is my life now. #voiceover #voiceactor #bookedandblessed

2026 is off to a strong start! I'm incredibly grateful to have booked so much work already this year. Let's see if we can keep it going! #voiceoverartist #voiceactress

Man, thinking back on how we used to call production week “Hell Week” back in school. Now running from gig to gig, it’s just… Hell Life. 🤣 #bookedandblessed

I booked my first TV commercial gig of the year! 🎉

First voice acting job of 2026 is in the books! #voiceacting #voiceactor

I look a massive leap of faith this year and jumped into the world of voice over with both feet—and frankly, with very little proof that I would be successful. Nearly ten months later, I now have thirty-one gigs under my belt! Can't wait to get back to work in 2026! #voiceover #voiceacting #voartist

Merry (post-gig) Christmas to all, and lots of hugs to my fellow performers still hustling until the end of the year.

I’ve been told I need to post more to build my brand on social media, so here’s a post wedding gig selfie for y’all. Am I doing this right? 😅

Rachael Aoki @rachaelaoki.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

Six weddings, two jazz gigs, and two voiceover jobs in the next four days? #bookedandbusy but also send coffee 😅 #voiceover #VoiceActors

My pick for an underrated #voicerover / #voiceacting skill? Admin. Have a CRM system to create quotes/invoices to make sure you’re getting paid. Create an audition to booking tracker so you can see where you’re having success and where you might need to revamp your strategy. #VOtips

Corporations: “AI is here, it’s going to be in everything, and you will simply have to get used to this new normal.” Those same corporations as soon as enough people yell at them: “aaaaAAAAA FUCK FUCK FUCK RETREAT, RETREEEEAT”

With a couple of TV/film credits and just two VO jobs under my belt last year, I jumped into #voiceover full-time this year. From audio guides to commercials, explainers to video game dubs, 2025 has been good to me so far! #voiceactor

I'll be recording an #audioguide for a luxury brand exhibit early next week! I love when I get to use my "sophisticated" voice for work. #voiceover #voiceactor

Slightly belated #ThrowbackThursday to the time I narrated a short documentary video about No Theatre for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. #voiceover #voiceoveractor

The great thing about having a voice over booth is that it can double as a sauna in the summer months! /s #voiceactor #voiceacting #volife
