"Steve is a highly skilled narrator and translator(JP-EN). It was an absolute pleasant experience working with him on the same project where I booked him as a narrator. He is not only a professional but also fun and easy guy to work with. I’ll definitely choose to work with him again. Two thumbs up!"
