WHO AM I?
Nicholas Markgraf
Nicholas Markgraf is a SAG-E voice actor and voice director in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. He holds a strong love for cartoons and video games that has inspired every step of his journey -- from his childhood in which he would mimic voices he heard on TV, to his work in technology & IT, to ultimately living his dream and becoming a full-time professional in entertainment.Nicholas has worked with studios such as Disney+, Iyuno SDI, Crunchyroll, Frost Giant, & Lion Forge Animation and can be heard in a variety of cartoons, anime, and video games. He finds the art of fully becoming characters very freeing and is constantly striving to hone his craft so as to deliver deep, nuanced performances that honor the ancient art of storytelling.When Nicholas isn't honing his voice acting craft, he is a co-owner and multi-hat wearer at LazuArts Entertainment, an Emmy Award winning dubbing studio with over a decade of experience in the entertainment industry. His drive to find inspiring and creative ways to bring stories to life through art and interactive media has led him to work in every level of production including line producing award-winning video games and animation, directing multiple high profile movie projects, and fostering healthy relationships with industry goliaths.Outside of voice acting and business, Nicholas likes creating online content, tinkering with the latest technology, and adding to his ever growing Nintendo collection. He loves cinematography, cooking, and having get-togethers for some friendship breaking Mario Party.
