AN AUTHENTIC VOICE
Hiya! I’m Nina Nikolic (she/her), a queer Serbian-Australian female audiobook narrator. With my extensive experience acting for audio fiction and broad range of accents, my performance shines for indie authors looking to bring not just their story, but their characters, to life.
My childhood was spent imagining I was Mara Wilson in Matilda, reading every book I could get my hands on in the library. I adore diverse, whimsical and thrilling stories; throw me all of your sci-fi/fantasy, queer romance, young adult, crime and … well, all of it, please!
My broadcast quality studio produces a clean, intimate experience for each of your listeners, as well as partnering with the best proofers, editors and producers in the biz to have your audiobook polished for publication.
HOW DO WE DO THIS?
Send me your manuscript and character brief, including information about their backgrounds and voices. If you could cast them as a character or actor from film or tv, who would they be? I’ll dig into your story and get in touch with you about next steps and your budget.
Typically, producing work for a flat fee is preferable; per-finished-hour rates are calculated by word count – e.g. 9,000 words per hour. A 50% deposit of the estimated project fee is required to begin the work. The remaining 50% is paid once you have approved the completed book, and it’s ready to hit the e-shelves!
However, it is common for indie authors, whom have the best stories to tell (particularly locally), to not have adequate funding available to secure such a budget. This need for financial flexibility is where I’d suggest collaborating with you via the Findaway Voices platform!

WHY FINDAWAY VOICES?
Findaway is my preferred platform for managing productions due to it’s robust features:
- Contracts & agreement support
- Flexible revenue share or full fee options
- Production workflow management
- Feedback portal for pick-ups or comments
- Major & extensive platform distribution
This platform provides a convenient portal for managing the files, timestamps for any feedback you have, a solid approval process, and several flexible payment options. For authors preferring to directly engage their talent or narrators like myself, who live in regions without access to more common platforms like ACX, that’s a game-changer!
If you’re looking for authentic native speakers in regions outside of the USA and UK, ACX will likely not give you much choice! Thankfully, with Findaway you can work with narrators from anywhere in the world, so you can have an authentic voice for your story and still distribute your book across all major platforms. There is also the bonus flexibility of Voices Share (revenue share options), if needed for your budget.
Here is a handy-dandy guide on how to send me an audition request on Findaway Voices. An audition is the fastest way to see if you think my performance will be the best fit for your story.
As always, if you have any questions, concerns (or just want to tell me about your books) send me an email any time:

For Goriana, Australian voice actor Nina Nikolic nailed her bored and sleazy voice and I was very pleased!
