Thérèse Plummer (born circa 1976) is an American voiceover actress and has narrated over 450 audiobooks.[1]

Personal life

Plummer is the fifth-born of eight kids. Her father was a professional actor,[2] and her mother was a librarian.

On June 11, 2021, Plummer was involved in a car crash with a drunk driver, through which she sustained multiple injuries and required surgeries.[1]

Plummer presently works in New York City and lives with her husband (Brian) and stepson on the East Coast of the United States.[3]

Education and career

Plummer studied psychology and theatre at King's College, then worked with kids in crisis and mental health disorders.[3] In this position, she began to see acting a form of therapy.

Later, Plummer worked a day job at a financial firm in New York City and landed some acting jobs off-Broadway. During this time, she took a course in audiobook recordings with Robin Miles, who told Plummer she should record books professionally.[3] With Miles's help, Plummer gained new skills and began auditioning for roles circa 2005.[3]
