About Nicola
nicola@nicolafordwood.com • Source-Connect: NicolaFordwood • https://nicolafordwood.com
Nicola has voiced projects for Hershey's, Sephora, Nutella, IKEA, Workday, ServiceNow and the CDC. Voice Arts Award winner (HiRoad Insurance). She brings a warm, grounded read that sounds like a real person talking, not a voice actor performing.
Producers book her for the same reason they rebook her: she treats every project like a deliverable. A decade of corporate project management before going full-time VO means clean files, fast turnaround and zero hand-holding required. She runs her booth like a business because she ran businesses before she ran a booth.
Her core sound is warm, authentic and conversational with real depth underneath it. Think: the smart friend who makes complicated things feel simple. That's her sweet spot for commercials, brand explainers and eLearning. But she's got genuine range beyond that. Her character work covers everything from an inquisitive preschool hedgehog to a sinister sorceress, and can slip into a British RP accent when the role calls for it.
She records in a triple-walled StudioBricks pro booth. Directed sessions available via Source-Connect, Zoom, Google Meet or phone patch.
