Voice Over Artist
ABOUT NICOLE
Nicole Lesley is a formally trained voice-over artist based in New York City. After receiving a BA in Theater from Washington State University, she spent the better part of a decade honing her skills as a character performer for Disney and Universal theme parks around the world. From 16th century princesses to sex symbol Marilyn Monroe, it has always been Nicole’s mission to bring every character to life. No matter what was thrown at her, she never missed a beat to improvise a witty response while maintaining impeccable character vocal inflection.
This became her voice acting training ground, all the while working with a voice acting coach, and enrolling in every acting class she could get her hands on along the way.

GET TO KNOW NICOLE A LITTLE MORE
Fun facts:
-
Nicole fell in love with voice acting working her first job at a pet warehouse store, where she was tasked with making the closing announcements every evening. Her managers glowingly praised her for her impressive announcing skills, and not so much on her impressive lack of knowledge of cat food and dog treats.
-
Nicole has been lucky enough to have lived and performed in Singapore and Japan and has traveled throughout Southeast Asia.
-
Nicole grew up with what one may lovingly call an obnoxious obsession with The Simpsons and Conan O’Brien, which (not to brag) makes her a ringer for only very specific themed trivia nights.
