It’s been an extraordinary privilege to have been the English voice of Ash Ketchum for what will be 17 years. No matter what lies beyond his final chapter, he’ll live forever in the hearts of many generations to come. I'll keep him present for all of us in every way I can. ❤️

Like no one ever was 😎
Today was the 22nd anniversary of Pokémon the Series in America! I’ve been the voice of Ash Ketchum for 14 years and let me tell you, being ageless never gets old. 😎
Months ago, I filmed myself watching the freshly dubbed last scene of Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master in the studio. I have no idea if I can watch it all now. I’m told it’s incredible with music and effects. I hope you’re enjoying it (on Netflix US now)!
Taking the day to process Ash Ketchum becoming a world champion after 25 years of tenacity.
What an icon. Never give up on your dreams. Act with love and selflessness. Be the best, the very best. I love voicing this kid so much.
Pokémon for life.

I started recording my last episode of Pokémon as the voice of Ash today. Just before we started, I got word that my high school English teacher who introduced me to the manager who got me the audition for Pokémon, passed away. RIP Dr. Weinberger, the teacher who changed my life.
Across many regions, there’ve been countless battles, everlasting bonds, and forever friendships. From then until now, thank you for the journey. ❤️

Faithfully portraying a joyful character like Ash Ketchum in times like these, while sitting in a booth (my closet) by myself, is an acting challenge like you wouldn’t believe.
Voice acting is inherently human. We engage in the expression of human nature. As our world changes, it’s up to you, our audience, to know the difference between what we do and what AI produces. Hone your senses. Let our rebellion be a renaissance. TY for your support. ❤️💪
The fact that Ash Ketchum is the

I’m going to Japan for the first time in my life next week. I’m ready to say relevant Japanese phrases like “I love Pokémon,” “I’m a voice actor,” and most importantly, “I can’t speak Japanese, but as you can tell by my accent, my Russian is very good.”
I still can’t believe this video I made honoring my 17 years as the voice of Ash on Pokémon got nominated for a Webby
