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 wheelhouse is cosy rom-coms, women-centered memoirs and personal development texts. As a child, I lived like Matilda, reading every book I could get my hands on in the library. I adore diverse, whimsical and stimulating stories; throw me all of your thrillers, speculative fiction, cosy romances and … well, all of it, please! My favourite book genres are thrillers and mysteries (Dan Brown, Fiona Tarr), speculative fiction (The Invincible, The Martian/Project Hail Mary), fantasy (The Witcher) and cosy romances (Sanctuary Sound, Trady Lady series). I also love the opportunity to learn something new through non-fiction in the realms of psychology, the Earth and the universe.

I’ve narrated over 30 audiobooks in a wide variety of genres from YA sci-fi to self-help. I have a warm, female voice with a neutral American accent. You can find most on Audible under SL Albert and a few vanilla romances under my pseudonym Lanna Saunders. When I’m not in the booth, I love reading mysteries, fantasy, science fiction and non-fiction. I’ve acted on stage, performed with an improv troupe and even volunteered as a DJ for a college radio station (back before everything was digital; I’ve spliced tape!) I love narrating audiobooks because it combines my love of reading with my passion for storytelling and acting. And I often learn a lot along the way!
