In the Asian culture, the word “Ratana” has many meanings:  it is a precious gem or term of respect (Hindi), and a diamond or crystal (Thai).  And as her name implies, Ratana is a voiceover artist with many facets and multiple passions.

Her love of music, theatre, cartoons, dance & performing ultimately led her to...take the practical path and study marketing and advertising in college, where she began her creative journey in corporate America.   

In the corporate world, she applied these talents as a consultant to a variety of Fortune 500 clients and as a marketing professional, working on a variety of brands in a variety of industries - everything from baked goods and cereal, to toys and dvds. 

Ratana spent her days perfecting her analytical skills and her evenings salsa dancing.  It wasn’t until a fellow dancer and VO actor encouraged her to explore voiceover that she discovered the dream job she never knew she always wanted.  And what began as a playful exploration became a creative calling.

Ratana has trained with the best of the best in the voiceover business, focusing on commercial, animation, video games & promo.  In addition to VO, she has trained extensively in improv and performs regularly with Ghost Party, a house team at the Westside Comedy Theater in Santa Monica, CA.

Her sound is young, hip and edgy, with just a dash of caffeine.  Ratana has a versatility that is capable of delivering a variety of attitudes, dialects & characters of all ages with energy and authenticity.

Ratana is based in Los Angeles, broadcasting worldwide.
