Hello and nice to e-meet you! I’m Terri Dien, a bi-coastal New Yorker currently living in San Francisco where I’ve recorded 10 titles (all available on Audible) from my home studio.

I’ve just completed the Audio Publishers’ Association DEI Mentorship program as a mentee where I gained vast amounts of insight into the audiobook industry from my mentor and discovered my passion for middle grade and young adult stories; particularly those that involve Asian-American experiences. I also love to read nonfiction, cozy mysteries, sci-fi, and historical fiction. You can check out my samples on my website or by visiting my profile on Soundcloud.

Being Chinese-American, I have audiobook fluency in the Cantonese and Shanghainese dialects; and as a chef, I have audiobook fluency in French, Italian, and Spanish (especially in culinary terms). You can count on me for a standard American accent and my native New York accent. I’m also a cookbook author and have grown to appreciate all aspects of the publishing industry, especially knowing how to be a better stakeholder in the process.

I’m excited about an opportunity to audition for you and join your talent roster. I’m available at the beginning of May for new projects.

Thank you for your time and consideration - I hope to work with you in the near future!
Kind regards,


Terri Dien
