Sarah Natochenny is a 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 all over the world, reprising roles like Marian in Robin Hood and Tinkerbell in Peter Pan, and originating many roles in other long running series.

 

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 can 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. 

 

She hits the stage on occasion in 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 continues to study ballet. 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 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 hip, cool, tender, smart, 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. 

​

Cool flex: she won a bronze medal in Rhythmic Gymnastics at the Junior Olympics in 1999 and can still do a solid grand jeté on command.

​

She splits her time between NYC and LA, and loves sharing stories of her many travel adventures on social media.
