Koiwai claims that she can do narration, dialogue, and song recordings all inside the comfort of her home. Her microphone is a Neumann U87Ai, and her booth is completely soundproof. She can deliver the standard high quality 48kHz/24bit audio, as well as 96kHz/32bit-float audio. Furthermore, she is proficient in the audio editing software Pro Tools and Cubase. She uses a Focusrite ISA 430 MkII channel strip, a Universal Audio 1176LN limiting amplifier, and a Neve 33609 compressor.
"If I can be helpful in these times when it's difficult to record in a studio, then please give my agency a call," she wrote. "I am doing my utmost to produce sound as close as what you'd get in a conventional studio."
Voice on hold due to concerns over the COVID-19 coronavirus illness.
Koiwai has also released a free YouTube with a "healing" theme to help soothe people while they're cooped up at home. The 30-minute track features light piano and synths.
Koiwai may be best known as the voice of Renge Miyauchi in the Soul Eater Not!
