Is the Nano right for my project?

Hi, I am a total Arduino noob so trying to wrap my head around all of this.

I am making a prop replica that has two different 9v powered light kits with toggle switches. I would like to power the light kits with an external power bank. What I would like to make happen is to flip the toggle and have the light kits turn on and to trigger sound effects to play using an Audio FX sound board. Is the Nano right for this kind of project?

it would work for sure. you'll need to adapt the voltage so that the arduino can detect the flip has been switched on

or you could have the switches talking to the Arduino directly and use a transistor / mosfet / relay to drive the 9V powered light kits

If all you need is sound FX then no, it will be overkill
