Jeremy Carlisle Parker is an actor working in New York City. Her love of narration began when she was a little girl-demanding that her father read Dr. Seuss every night, using only his best character voices. Books have been some of her best friends since childhood-in fact, she still holds the first-grade class record for most books read in an academic year at 650! Being a trained opera singer and actor, narration is the perfect means to marry her passion for performance and lifelong love of books. Jeremy is proudly queer and deeply committed to amplifying queer voices in all aspects of her creative life when possible. She holds a Bachelor of Music, Master of Music, and artist diploma from the esteemed University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) and is a proud member of AEA and SAG-AFTRA. When Jeremy isn't in the booth, you can find her tie-dying t-shirts in her kitchen sink while listening to true crime podcasts and catching up on RuPaul's Drag Race.
