"Easy to understand for a new person. I loved the interactive participation, the stories and examples given to support the subject matter. Was excellent. 10 out of 10." 


"Great techniques that I can use to freshen up my 'tried and true' stories, and use to generate my own versions with new material."

News! Two new films for the National Park Service

Ingrid Narrates "Glacier Bay: Beneath the Reflections"

Having co-written the film 20+ years ago, Ingrid worked with filmmaker John Brooks & others to update the film, which was released late in 2025. A updated film called for new narration & Ingrid was totally up for the task! Click here to watch the film.


Ingrid also worked with John to create a brand new Glacier Bay film, Forces of Change. This new film explores many dimensions of this wild place. Click here to watch the film. 


John Brooks (left, with camera) is an accomplished filmmaker, who works with James Cameron. So in between Avatar film work, he was squeezing in work on this film -- a total labor of love. It was nothing short of wonderful to work with a filmmaker of his stature.

About Ingrid Nixon, Storyteller

Let's go ... Stories await!

Ingrid Nixon is a world-traveling storyteller who whisks listeners away on journeys of the imagination. Exploration nail-biters, tall tales, traditional and personal stories—she tells them all on international expeditions, and at venues around the country, including the National Storytelling Festival. Her creative approaches to story crafting help make ancient tales relevant to modern audiences. All three of Ingrid's recordings have received the Storytelling World Gold Seal for listeners of all ages! Her audio recording, Grimm’s with a Twist, offers deliciously dark stories spiced liberally with humor and pathos. Operation Bouncy Chair, features personal stories about the important things in life: family, love, and coffee. Lost Hearts and Other Creepy Stories is perfect for a dark and stormy night. She is a champion liar many times over, a claim that made her mother both proud and worried. She holds a Masters in Storytelling from East Tennessee State University. She hails from Alaska.

What people are saying ...

Jim May - Storyteller and Author

"Ingrid is an excellent teller .... She is funny, elegant, handles personal experience stories with a lot of humor, as well as pathos, and makes folktales quirky and relevant to modern lifetime situations."

Judith Black - Storyteller

"Ingrid's stories take you from the twisted heart of Grimm's dark tales to the open heart of sibling rivalry to the roiling stomach trying to keep its cookies on twisting decks of ships bound for the Antarctic.


This massive breadth of material is offered with a keen eye to detail, a deep appreciation that irony is the driving force of the universe, and an uncanny ability to take you all of these places, like a friend, traveling with her."

Lyn Ford - Storyteller, Teaching Artist and Author

"Ingrid is a natural-born storyteller. Her voice and skills offer up a taste of folk tradition seasoned with contemporary flavors, a feast for the ear!"
