For Immediate Release:

Chad Nicholson PRCA Announcer & Voice Talent
Exeter, CA
(559) 553-2530

When it comes to excitement, PRCA Rodeo Announcer Chad Nicholson is right in the middle of it helping to make it all happen.  For over 17 years he has been entertaining and educating rodeo fans from coast to coast and border to border maintaining a busy schedule annually. 

A native Texan, Chad now makes his home in the Central California farming community of Exeter with his wife Jennifer, but credits his Texas roots for initially spawning his affection of the sport.  A former contestant himself, he has accomplished much during his 17 year announcing career.  From being selected to announce 8 PRCA Circuit Finals Rodeos to the prestigious Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo, he has always maintained one simple philosophy, “Above all, have fun!!” 

There are many aspects of Professional Rodeo that keep Chad traveling thousands of miles each year.  But probably the most important elements to him are the many friends made along the way and the patriotic atmosphere that naturally exists in rodeo.  Being a United States Marine Corps Reserve Veteran, Chad prides his announcing ability on his powerful, patriotic openings.  “The Rodeo Cowboy is one of the last free-spirits left in America today”, he says, “and we never will forget who gives us the opportunity to carry on such a great tradition that truly reflects our country’s heritage.  He added, “There are really no scripts to my openings, I just speak from the heart letting pure emotion drive the moment.”  And pure emotion coupled with his distinctive voice is exactly what you will get from start to finish of every performance he announces.

In addition to his announcing schedule, Chad produces Rodeo Announcer Schools teaching aspiring announcers the craft while helping current announcers sharpen their skills.  He is also an internationally known voice talent.  From his home studio, he produces voice overs projects and commercials for clients worldwide. 

His wife Jennifer Welch Nicholson, is the Executive Director of Riata Ranch International, “Home of the World Famous Riata Ranch Cowboy Girls”, a World Renowned PRCA Specialty Act.  Riata Ranch is a non-profit organization dedicated to young women 10-18 who desire a real ranch experience and a love for horses.  With their electrifying trick roping and trick riding shows, the Cowboy Girls have appeared on several TV programs, music videos, and various events in 17 countries on 4 continents.  For more information, visit www.rrcowboygirls.com.

Chad invites you to drop by his website www.chadnicholson.com.  There you can download his commercial voice demos and send him feedback from your rodeo experience.  Enjoy the show!

Letter of Recommendation
March 1, 2008
To Whom It May Concern:

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Chad Nicholson. For years I have been listening to this wonderful voice, wondering about the man it came from. The voice that has passion for the sport of rodeo and all the tact that is needed in today's society. A voice that tells the story of rodeo, from the contestant to the stock contractor, from the sponsors to the rodeo personalities, Chad tells it all ever so gracefully. Again having never met the man, I knew what kind of a person he was, by his voice and level of professionalism.

In 2007 I finally met Chad as I became the manager of the fairgrounds for the Town of Estes Park. He is truly a gentlemen and a remarkable man. I watched him meet people who were interested in him and by the end of the conversation he was asking the questions of them as though they were getting interviewed. Chad, always interested in what others have to say, listens to every word. He is a wealth of knowledge and is a genume person.

Chad is unquestionably an excellent person with outstanding character. I am proud to say he is the voice of the Rooftop Rodeo. His expertise and exciting nature takes our rodeo to the next level. I am proud to say he is a big part of our event and even prouder to call him a friend.

If I can be of further assistance, or answer any questions in regards to Chad, please feel free to call me.
