testimonials from you
"Nicole was great to work with for recording our "Dracula" radio drama podcast. She played two distinctly different characters in which she was required to modify her voice and accent to create them.
One character required a high and shrill voice, with a cockney accent, which she delivered with great comedic timing. Another character required her to have a slow, sultry, and sexy kind of a voice, with a bit of a Romanian accent.
She delivered both characters with enthusiasm, and we were very pleased with the results that brought these characters to life exactly as we had envisioned."
Chanel Volpel
Nicole's passion for theatre shines through in her performance. She learns quickly and knows how to drive home a performance that engages the audience from start to finish. I've seen her tackle a variety of roles from lead to ensemble, villain to hero, with enthusiasm and drive in a way that inspires those working with her to perform at their best as well.”
Rebecca Bonkoski
“Over the last 20 years, I have had the privilege to collaborate with Nicole on many artistic adventures. As we have both owned and operated our own theater companies, respectively, we have each worn different hats in relationship to the other. Be it actor-to-actor, producer-to-director, or director-to-actor, each experience has been unique, enriching and quite fulfilling.
If Nicole is auditioning to add to your company in any way, you will quickly find a talent of both singing and acting depth, a solid work ethic and an attitude of gratitude that finds its way into the hearts of all involved with the project.
If we were not half a country apart from one another, I’m sure Nicole and I would be currently working on a project to touch the hearts and minds of an unsuspecting audience.”
Scott Fritsche
As an actor, director, writer, and a member of the board at Wausau Community Theatre, I have had the opportunity to work with Nicole on numerous occasions, and it has always been a rewarding experience. Whatever the role, she brings dedication and commitment, as well as talent, to the stage, and her own unique experiences give Nicole a better sense of how her contributions affect the entire production.”

Common Questions
FAQ
Do you do accents/dialects and multi character voices?
I do! I am comfortable doing multiple characters as well as a variety of accents and dialects including Midwest, Southern, East Coast, French, British and more. I also have taken several years of Spanish and a couple years each of French and Italian. Though I am not fluent in those three languages, I am confident pronouncing words.
Where do you record your voice overs, narrations and podcast?
I have a dedicated recording studio in my home. I lovingly refer to it as my "cloffice" because it's essentially the closet in my office that I have transformed into a recording space -- but cute. Lol.
What's your recording process like?
Depending on the particular job or situation, I record in my home studio using my a couple of different mics but usually my Rode NT1 mic (or MOVO Cardioid Condenser XLR Mic when I'm traveling) with Focusrite Vocaster 2 interface. I usually record in riverside.fm or Garageband via my mac. Editing is also typically done within those two software programs. I do also have a travel podcast kit.
Do you have a preferred genre and subgenre you like to narrate?
Yes! I LOVE narrating romance novels and generally enjoy all sub-genres from contemporary romantic comedies to deep, dark smutty smut smut. (Please note: I may request additional information for "pitch black" novels based on my personal triggers -- which are few.)
Are your prices/fees negotiable?
Yes -- to a certain degree. I am always happy to discuss further and will consider reasonable offers as well as hybrid pricing with a combo of price per finished hour and royalty options.
Do you have a resume?
Yes. I am happy to provide my professional resume for serious inquiries.
