Hello, I’m Nina! And I am all about:
Voice
VOICE OVER: Dynamic. Friendly. Confident.
Are you looking for a talent to voice your next project? More than just an American sound… I am a passionate collaborator. My greatest professional joy is investing in your world, your project, and your goals. It is a privilege to be a part of your team, and I look forward to the unique challenge of providing that bespoke blend of humanity, imagination and approachability to your project.
As a UK-based US voice actor, I have voiced hundreds of scripts for clients, including brands such as Amazon, Lego, Lycra, Wren Kitchens, Dove, EY, BlackRock, Baileys, Sky, and Playstation; with appearances across various video games including Helldivers II, Horizon Forbidden West and main lead Zoe in Steel Seed (Storm in a Teacup). I offer extensive experience in commercials, video games, animation, corporate narration, audiobooks, documentaries, and e-learning. I can facilitate quick turnaround remotely from my professional home studio, and I am also happy to visit the London studio of your choice!
My aim is to help you get the recording you want, when you need it. Let’s chat more about what you need, and how I can help your project stand apart from the competition!
VOICE COACHING: Your Voice and Accent Training starts here!
Whether you are seeking training, a workshop, review, or quick turn-around for casting… our work together will always aim to evolve your performance practice.
As a coach I work frequently alongside Spotlight, casting agencies, and individual production companies, including Fly More Than You Can Fall starring Keala Settle (James Steel Productions), The Woods starring Bridgerton star Sam Frenchum (Tarento Productions Ltd), Zorro! West End (Aria Entertainment), and Saturday Night Fever UK Tour (Bill Kenwright Ltd). I have coached hundreds of productions, prepped hundreds of actors 1:2:1 for theatre/tv/film, and am a seasoned international lecturer. Previous roles include Head of Voice at Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts (Musical Theatre BA), and Voice Lecturer at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (alma mater), LAMDA, Arts Ed, Mountview, and The Boston Conservatory (alma mater) to name a few.
As an experienced, versatile and multi-disciplinary artist, my interests lie in accessibility and joy in vocal discovery. I want every artist I work with to feel empowered by the process, and eventually independent in their skills. I’ll consider my job done if you rarely need me at all!
My personal research interests lie in vocal extreme/creature/character work, acting and accent integration, singing with accent/character extremes, and multilingual clients who seek targeted accent work. Sessions will be led with inclusivity, context, respect, and of course, serious Play!
I look forward to working with you. Lets have a chat today!

Quick Prep
Ever get those castings that require one or two lines, or maybe even just a brief paragraph that you do not believe warrants a full session, but you’d like to get it checked?
How it works:
Conducted over WhatsApp, you will send over the initial read of lines and script.
Nina will listen and offer initial feedback, and thoughts in a voice note with possible script drawings to assist as needed.
You will send back second read through.
Nina will offer final thoughts!
The session is charged at a 1/2 rate based on Basic or Advanced requirements/prep.
For these sessions, please contact Nina directly at: hello@ninazendejas.com
