NICK SMITH
Los Angeles, CA, United States
Highlights
Announcer; warm; assured; sophisticated.
It all started 22 years ago when Playboy TV asked me to record all their promo trailers. The sexy and sophisticated sound translated to other networks. I voiced the promos of such television shows as Curb Your Enthusiasm, Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, and Nip 'n Tuck.
During this period I also became known as someone who could impersonate celebrities, and I was hired to be the voice of Anthony Hopkins, Ian McKellen, Richard Harris, John Hurt, Mark Strong, and Viggo Mortensen in many motion pictures and video games, including Star Trek and Lord of the Rings. My vocal age ranges from 30 to 95 years.
Today, I am often heard in Jaguar commercials, movie trailers, and TV promos. Documentaries are also my forte. If someone wants a David Attenborough soundalike, they usually call me first.

Testimonials
Matt Lichtenwalter
Nick is a man of many incredible voices. I am amazed at how creative his characters
are and so different from each other. Listening to two or more of Nick's characters back
