==History==
[[File:Jennifer Taylor.jpg|177px|thumb|left|Jen Taylor]]
Jennifer Lee Taylor was born on February 17, 1973, in Seattle, Washington, United States. She has provided the voice for many [[Nintendo]] characters, but she is well-known for being the voice of Peach, Toad, and Toadette. In addition to doing voice-over work for Nintendo, she has also done voice-over work for {{wp|Microsoft}}, such as voicing [[halopedia:Cortana|Cortana]] from the ''[[halopedia:Halo universe|Halo]]'' series and the Cortana voice assistant in the {{wp|Windows Phone 8.1}}, {{wp|Windows 10}}, and {{wp|Windows 11}} operating systems until 2023 where Cortana was discontinued for both Windows 10 and 11 due to Windows Copilot replacing it, including the Cortana app for {{wp|iOS}} and {{wp|Android}} devices. Taylor attended school at Oxford University. She also spends a lot of time at the Seattle Children's Theatre.

After six years, Taylor ended her career with Nintendo in 2005<ref>{{cite|accessdate=May 30, 2024|author=ShadowDragon28|date=January 19, 2014|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwOOU_E2IKc&t=240s|title=Winter Sac-Anime 2014 Nintendo Superstars Panel - Part 1|publisher=YouTube|timestamp=4:00}}</ref> to make sure she was able to work more in the Seattle Children's Theatre, although her voice clips as Peach and Toad still continue to be reused for some of the current ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games on an occasional basis.
