Katarina "Rin" Araneta is an enthusiastic voice actor, a self-proclaimed cheesecake enthusiast and humble bird owner, but really, she's just a small town girl with big dreams and a penchant for fantasy. She's very passionate about the things she consumes, literally and figuratively.
Rin started actively pursuing voice acting (VA) around 2018, initially focusing on fandubs. Since then, she has gradually expanded her repertoire to include various projects such as original animations, indie video games, audio dramas, and audiobooks.
Rin resides in Iloilo City, Philippines. Starting her career proved challenging, as the city offered limited opportunities related to voice-overs or acting in general. However, she managed to find ways to jumpstart her career through the power of the internet.
Rin's love for voice acting began in childhood when she first watched cartoons. This passion grew even stronger as she delved into story-driven video games like Dragon Age and Mass Effect. She discovered that she loved immersing herself as a character in another world.
Voice acting allows Rin to express a wide range of emotions that she rarely gets to display in reality due to her introverted nature. The recording booth serves as her playground, providing her with endless opportunities for self-expression.
Her voice naturally has that bright, young, relatable and peppy girl-next-door feel, but it also has a slightly older, sultry and dark side to it. It is a rich mid-tone voice that can hit a wide array of energies capable of making you laugh, smile, or shake you to your very core.
While Rin may appear reserved on the surface, she describes herself as quite chaotic on the inside, which can catch people off guard. Rin is passionate about various "nerd-adjacent" topics, promising engaging conversations for those who share similar interests.

Rin provides consistently impressive and diverse range in the material she develops for my animation project. It has been a joy to work with her as she is responsive to critique, quick to produce quality work, and has a pleasant, professional and friendly demeanor. Highly recommended.
“A kind individual that will bring your character to life with her awesome voice work! I thoroughly enjoyed working with Rin and I recommend her 120%!”
First time working with Rin and I can confidently say it is DEFINITELY not the last time! I had gotten the chance to enlist the vocal talents of Rin and was met with adaptability, coordination, and a very impressive line delivery above all. She is very confident in portraying the character that she auditions for and has been patient and flexible with feedback. It was fun working with her most of all due to the energy she carries to the project which, at several times, transferred to other members of the project as well!
“Rin was an absolute delight for us to work with. She showed clear interest in our project from the start, absolutely 'got' the character for the role she was to play, and then gave us fantastic characterisation delivered in clear audio files. All with a quick turnaround and a super friendly and approachable nature - this was our first time adding voice acting to a game and Rin made everything so easy for us.”
Rin is an exceptional voice actress and I would wholeheartedly recommend any production work with her. Not only is she professional and a pleasure to work with, she saves time and effort by responding to cues and feedback with expert precision. Rin is a rising star, and you would be lucky to have her voice and talent for your project!
Rin had voiced the lead character in my video game project, and she was a pleasure to work with! Her range in delivery was phenomenal, with energetic explosive moments and soft-spoken grim lines. She produced lines quickly and efficiently, while interpreting and responding to revisions flawlessly. I guarantee that you will be satisfied with her work.
