I started working as a narrator. I am still just starting out, but I have experience narrating for national terrestrial TV broadcast programs, on-air commercials for local stations, and ring announcements for K-1. My goal is to be able to narrate TV documentaries and variety shows.

I learned the skills at a vocational school, and then took an exam and registered with an organization for narrators. Through that organization, I was introduced to jobs and gained experience as a narrator.

I started a side job because I wanted to capitalize on myself, something like a desire for approval, while working for an organization as a company employee. I had done singing and theater when I was a student and thought that I could use my voice, so I tried my hand at being a narrator.

There are only a handful of people who can make a living as a narrator alone. Many of them are also TV personalities or voice actors, or work part-time, and many of them give up halfway through their career. I realize how hard it is to make money.

In this world, you cannot survive unless you think through and practice how you present yourself and in which direction you market yourself. This realization has had a great impact on my day job in corporate PR, and my attitude and way of thinking about my work has changed aggressively.
