About
Hello and welcome. I'm Sachi, a Canadian actress born to Japanese and British parents; passport-holder for all three countries. I work in theatre, film & TV, and voice, primarily in English, but also in French, Japanese and Italian. I am a proud member of Equity and ACTRA.
Although originally from Ottawa, I began acting professionally in Vancouver, BC. I then lived in the UK for three years where I trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. A Political Science and Italian degree from McGill University got snuck somewhere in there too.
I now call Toronto home but remain open to opportunities in other parts of Canada, the UK, Japan, and beyond.
When not acting I enjoy cycling around the city, playing board games, and canoe camping in Algonquin Park.

SPEAK, OKINAWA - A Memoir
Elizabeth Miki Brina, Read by Sachi Lovatt • MARCH 2021• Random House Audio
Read the link to the review here, or below:
Narrator Sachi Lovatt's measured, almost detached, tone suits author Elizabeth Miki Brina's candid memoir of her challenges with racial identity. Brina, the daughter of a war bride from Okinawa and an American veteran of the Vietnam War, shares her intimate and emotional story.
Lovatt's calm tone and relaxed pace help listeners settle into the narrative's complexities as she conveys incidents of intergenerational trauma, promiscuity, alcohol abuse, racial prejudice, and difficult parent/adult child relationships.
Lovatt's facility with Japanese words and her thoughtful presentations of Brina, her Japanese-born mother, and her American-born father add authenticity and nuance. Lovatt's impressive narration helps listeners connect with Brina's pain and root for her as she navigates her challenging family landscape and finds her place in the world.
