Sarah Natochenny is a Webby and Voice Arts® Award-winning actor best known for her ongoing work in the role of Ash Ketchum on Pokémon since 2006. Since then, she's been the go-to actor for protagonists in many animated series airing globally, reprising roles like Marian in Robin Hood and Tinkerbell in Peter Pan, and originating many roles in other long running series.

 

Some of her latest work can be heard in Apple's #1 fiction podcast, narrating alongside Academy Award Nominee Gabourey Sidibe in Realm's Webby Award winning If I Go Missing, The Witches Did It. She is also excited to play her first historical figure, starring as Emma Goldman in Across From Jericho. She can also be heard in Marvel's Black Widow: Bad Blood, as the narrator and voice of every character, in Funny or Die/Spotify's The Last Degree of Kevin Bacon, in which she plays 10 characters, and on Audible in Hannukah Haunting as Devorah. 

 

In March 2024, Sarah is doing a seven week run of plays by Shel Silverstein and Ethan Coen. She was also cast in the long running 24 Hour Plays, which performs on March 18th. Before it rained and poured, Sarah hit the stage on occasion in LA and NYC, doing improv, storytelling and sketch comedy, and did several plays before deciding to travel to do convention appearances and be on location, editing and directing.

 

She studied acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute and improv at the UCB and Magnet Theaters. She was a Junior Olympic Bronze Medalist in Rhythmic Gymnastics and is a classically trained dancer. She's a self-taught film editor, with fans at the U.S. State Department and AmDocs. Every piece she edited for MSNBC went to air - she loved the high pressure environment. She took a year off from editing to study international relations and the psychology behind religious fundamentalism, and emerged wanting to act more than ever before.

 

After years of uninterrupted voice work, she is now focusing on producing her own work as an actor and filmmaker. For those casting, she's a tender, smart, tough ingénue who would be great as that well-intentioned but strikingly ignorant woman in a social satire. She also speaks Russian and is ethnically ambiguous with her natural hair color, which is absolutely not blonde. 

​

Sarah spends most of her time trying to love living in LA and tries to get back to her native NYC in between personal appearances. She loves sharing stories of her many travel adventures on social media.
