Meet Nicole

Nicole Ogata (she/her) is an Estill-trained Actor, Singer & Voiceover Artist based in Southern California.

With over 20 years of musical theatre experience and a love for all things Disney, she naturally brings bright energy, upbeat vibes, and big smiles to the mic — but that’s not all she can do. Her extensive education with Estill Voice Training® and VoiceOne SF leaves her with an advanced understanding of vocal mechanics, so she can create the exact vibe you need for your next project. And when speaking just isn’t enough, you can bet she’ll sing the next catchy melody that’ll get stuck in everyone’s heads.

Favorite stage credits include Cinderella (R & H’s Cinderella), Hope Cladwell (Urinetown), and Peep-Bo (Hot Mikado). She has also sung backup for Taylor Swift, opened for Far East Movement, and lent her voice to notable brands such as Discord and Neon Wild/DreamWorks Animation.

Nicole led a successful career in marketing & communications for hyper-growth companies before diving headfirst into the world of voiceover, so she fully understands your business needs. She loves nothing more than making sure we have fun while we explore, play, and create together.

As a mixed-race individual of AANHPI descent, Nicole believes diverse & inclusive representation is crucial for the future of American media.

Outside the booth, Nicole is known for her love of the beach, hiking, traveling the world, and constantly seeking out her next favorite gelato flavor.

A voice that sparkles…

Nicole’s natural speaking voice has been described as bright, enthusiastic, upbeat, and hip. She’s like your cooler, younger, full-of-life little sister. Or the hype best friend that will get you pumped and out the door for an adventure.

The things Nicole loves to talk about include food, fashion, pets, beauty products, travel, ice cream….and so much more! There’s a special place in her heart for animation, games and toys for kids and teens.
