American voiceover actress and audiobook narrator

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

Personal life

Plummer is the fifth-born of eight kids. Her father was a professional actor, 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.

Plummer presently works in New York City and lives with her dog Butterfinger on the East Coast of the United States.

Education and career

Plummer studied psychology and theatre at King's College, then worked with kids in crisis and mental health disorders. 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. With Miles's help, Plummer gained new skills and began auditioning for roles circa 2005.
