In an interview on the Dennis Daniel Show, she revealed that when she was younger, she watched the English dub of the anime since when it first aired, and enjoyed Ash's character and [[Veronica Taylor]]'s performance as him. She has also met Taylor, but does not know her personally. When she first auditioned for the redub, she feared the [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|backlash]] of her replacement as Ash and living up to her performance, especially since she herself "has the utmost respect for her" and thinks "she's really fantastic at what she does"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW0sinWx2FE?t=16m58s</ref>.  
Natochenny joined the {{pkmn|anime}} starting with the redub of [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]], replacing [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]] (and by extension [[Veronica Taylor]]) as {{Ash}}. Since then, she has also voiced numerous other roles in the series.
