"Nicola is an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and brought a high level of expertise and technical knowledge to our project. The live take went flawlessly, Nicola was very open to our suggestions. Her fast turnaround ensured we had plenty of time to edit. She delivered exactly what we wanted, we couldn’t have done it without her! 5 stars!!"

Nicola – or Nicky, as her friends and collaborators call her – is a British voice artist with a BBC-shaped backbone and a warm, velvety alto voice that’s been described as elegant, sophisticated, and irresistibly approachable. Often likened to Emma Thompson, Helen Mirren, or even Julie Andrews, she’s the kind of voice that makes you lean in – whether she’s narrating a documentary, voicing a heartfelt charity campaign, or delivering complex medical e-learning with clarity and care.
With a warm, sophisticated alto voice and a cheeky touch of British humour, Nicky is a seasoned voice artist who brings clarity, charm, and credibility to every read. After a long career in BBC studios – both on-air and behind the scenes – she now works from her home studio just outside London, collaborating with creatives around the world, from Australia to Indonesia, the US to Switzerland.
She specialises in medical narration, eLearning, charity campaigns, documentaries, and audio guides – anything that teaches, inspires, or tells a great story. Her clients include BBC Radio, Cancer Research UK, Red Cross, Nestlé, Salesforce, RNIB, World Vision, and more.
What Drives Her? Well that’s easy! Collaborating with creative people and making clients happy. Seriously, it’s what gets her out of bed – well, that and a decent cup of builders’ tea.
Fluent in French, (she studied at Nantes University in Western France) with a musical ear for other languages, (German, Hungarian, Italian and Spanish) Nicky is known for her flawless pronunciation, fast turnarounds, and studio-quality sound (thanks to her BBC engineer husband keeping things quiet!). She’s also a skilled photographer and passionate singer – catch her in two choirs and a four-part harmony group.
Whether you need intelligence, compassion, warmth, or wit – Nicky’s your voice.
