Hi, I'm Mirai! (rhymes with hi)
I was once the voice of Hello Kitty, am a Back to the Future expert, and almost didn't have a nationality when I was born. Now here's some stuff about me in 3rd person:
Mirai is a proud 2-time Audie Award Finalist narrator! Her bright, youthful voice brings life to YA, Chick Lit, and Book Club fiction, especially those centering around female leads. From sweet to sarcastic, bubbly to dry, Mirai's comedic sensibility and zest for storytelling has been honed through her BFA in Acting and over 20 years of experience as an actor on stage and screen, as well as behind the mic. Brought up in Japan and Singapore by Malaysian-Chinese and British parents (an author and editor!), her international background brings authenticity to global stories and accented characters. Mirai is a trained singer in Broadway styles, and can often be found acting in or directing a musical or play in the LA region. She has also worked at Universal Studios as a Studio Guide for over 10 years. In her spare time, Mirai loves to knit while (re)watching sitcoms and the Great British Bake Off, huddled in a cuddle with her dog and two cats.
Reviews
Mirai's youthful voice narrates a story of two sisters... Mirai captures a wide cast of characters both human and inhuman. Memorable voices include the high pitch and innocent tone of Vanna, the sinister tone of Angma, the hissing voice of Ukar the snake, and the deep pitch of the demonic dragon, Hokzuh.

Mirai's performance provides significant depth to Akari, a Japanese high school student who follows a celebrity with a singular intensity...Mirai's empathetic performance of Akari is gently moving. S.P.C. © AudioFile 2023
Mirai's narration beautifully sets the scene of a haunting Malaysian folktale rewritten as a modern-day ghost story...Though the story is written for a middle-grade audience, Mirai's enticing performance draws listeners of all ages deep into Suraya’s world. As Suraya grows from a preschooler into her early teens, Mirai's character voice also matures, adding an additional note of verisimilitude. Using her undeniable talent, Mirai convincingly conveys other characters of different ages and origins, as well. A wonderful production sure to entertain. A.L.S.M. © AudioFile 2020
