About Nicole…
Nicole Cash is a highly skilled performer whose training in classical music allows her to captivate audiences and connect people through the power of sound. She served as 3rd Horn with the Dallas Symphony, and Associate Principal Horn of the renowned San Francisco Symphony, until she was diagnosed with focal dystonia, a career-ending repetitive movement disorder.
The meandering road of recovery and rediscovery led Nicole to the art of audiobook narration, to which she brings the same keen sense of rhythm, intonation, lyricism, and drama.
Nicole delights in voicing the blood-curdling suspense of a dark thriller, the complex characters of literary and historical fiction, and the heart-warming nostalgia of a coming of age story. Her experiences as an African-American woman compel her to share the tangled theories and truths of social science and political justice tomes.
As the mother of two young children, Nicole feels right at home bringing to life all sorts of fantastical characters and creatures, and finds great joy in being silly. Most often described as “warm, clear, engaging, and easy to listen to,” her voice is a hug that envelops the listener in whatever story she is sharing.
When away from her home studio on the North Shore of Long Island, NY, Nicole can be found creating custom cakes for friends and family, attempting to grow organic vegetables and herbs in her garden, skiing, camping, singing karaoke, and of course… reading.
