AZU P.
Japanese Voice-Over / Voice Acting / Japanese / English to Japanese
Hi, I’m Azu Peiris, a Japanese voice actor, YouTube localization editor, and Adobe Premiere Pro video editor based in Tokyo, Japan. I specialize in helping English YouTube channels create natural, engaging Japanese versions of their videos. I can support the full localization workflow: script adaptation, Japanese narration, subtitle timing, pacing adjustment, and video editing. Since April 2025, I have worked on long-form YouTube localization projects, creating Japanese content that keeps the original meaning, humor, rhythm, and viewer experience intact. My goal is not to make the video sound “translated,” but to make it feel like it was originally made for Japanese viewers. My services include: ・Japanese voice-over and narration ・English-to-Japanese YouTube localization ・Script adaptation for natural Japanese narration ・Adobe Premiere Pro video editing ・Subtitle syncing and timing ・Content pacing and storytelling adjustment I am also a licensed Physical Therapist in Japan, with experience in orthopedic and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. This gives me a unique advantage when working on medical, health, injury, posture, rehabilitation, or body movement-related content. I can also advise on whether injury scenes, body movements, posture, or physical reactions in videos and films look realistic from a clinical perspective. Based in Tokyo, I can also support Japan-related content, including realistic travel itinerary planning, Tokyo sightseeing ideas, hotel recommendations, transportation routes, Disney/theme park strategies, and local tips from a resident’s perspective. If you are looking for a reliable Japanese voice and localization partner for YouTube or video content, I can help you create work that feels natural, accurate, and engaging for Japanese audiences.
