| 11 | |
| 12 | Tara Lyn Strong (née Charendoff; born February 12, 1973) is a Canadian and American actress, perhaps best known for voice acting in animated films and television. She has a [[ManOfAThousandVoices very versatile voice]], but rarely has any live-action roles. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Born in UsefulNotes/{{Toronto}}, Ontario to Russian-Jewish immigrants, her acting career began when she volunteered to be a soloist in an upcoming school production at age four. Soon, she began acting in the Yiddish Theater; though she didn't speak the Yiddish language, she memorized her lines phonetically. During this time, she also performed at the Toronto Jewish Theater, where she acted in ''A Night of Stars'', and was featured in "Lay Down Your Arms" with the Habonim Youth Choir, where she sang the lyrics in both English and Hebrew. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Her voice acting career began in 1987, with the role of Hello Kitty from ''WesternAnimation/HelloKittysFurryTaleTheater'', a Canadian-American-Japanese joint production. She would later move from Toronto to Los Angeles in 1993. She was a popular voice actor for the companies Creator/{{Nelvana}}, Creator/CartoonNetwork, and Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}. She has done live-action work as well -- notably as Gwen in the ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'' {{Made For TV Movie}}s -- but says that voice acting takes up most of her time. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | She frequently co-stars with fellow voice actor Creator/CreeSummer; the two are childhood friends and grew up in Toronto together. She was formerly married to American actor Craig Strong from 2000 to 2022 and they have two sons. Together, they founded [=VoiceStarz=], Inc., an Internet-based company which teaches people how to get into the voice-over business. She also collaborates with Creator/GregCipes as co-hosts of ''[[https://www.theshipitshow.com/ The Ship-It Show]]'', a podcast that talks about the fandoms of various shows (with a focus on the romances they root for). |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Tara has an active Website/{{Twitter}} account found [[https://twitter.com/tarastrong here]]. |

| 242 | [[/folder]] |
| 243 | ----- |
| 244 | !!Tropes found in her voice acting: |
| 245 | * ActingForTwo: Tara often voices multiple characters in her works: |
| 246 | ** On ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'', she voices two main characters, Toot and Clara, so their interactions are frequent. |
| 247 | ** During ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' episode "The Malicious Mr. Mind", she voices ''{{Comicbook/Shazam}}'' characters Billy and Mary, as well as toddler Batman, while they try to re-age the Caped Crusader. |
| 248 | ** An amusing example is [[ThemeTwinNaming Hip and Hop]] in the ''WesternAnimation/SuperMarioBrosDic'' cartoons where as two separate characters, Tara would [[FinishingEachOthersSentences finish her own sentences]]. |
| 249 | ** She voices main character Timmy on ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'', as well as numerous background characters who tend to interact with him. When they added baby Poof to the fairies, she was given that job as well. |
| 250 | ** She reprises her roles from ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' in ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' as Harley Quinn and Raven, respectively. |
| 251 | * ActorAllusion: |
| 252 | ** She voices a pony-parody of possibly [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]] in ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo Pretty Pretty Pegasus]]'', of which her character Raven is a closet fan. |
| 253 | ** She played a ''My Little Pony''-esque kelpie alongside fellow Mane Six cast member Creator/AndreaLibman in ''WesternAnimation/{{Ducktales|2017}}''. |
| 254 | ** Another pony reference in a DC project; in ''VideoGame/Injustice2'', Tara voices Harley Quinn and can have this exchange with Mr. Freeze or Starfire at the start of a match. |
| 255 | --->'''Harley Quinn:''' Can you make me a pony?\ |
| 256 | '''Mr. Freeze:''' It will make the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic twilight sparkle]].\ |
| 257 | '''Harley Quinn:''' Hahahaha, I was hoping you'd say that!\ |
| 258 | \ |
| 259 | '''Harley Quinn:''' You'll always get to be the princess.\ |
| 260 | '''Starfire:''' Would you like to be the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic princess this time]]?\ |
| 261 | '''Harley Quinn:''' Hahahaha, I was hoping you'd say that! |
| 262 | ** In an episode of ''Friendship is Magic'', Twilight says "do I look like I speak squirrel?" -- a nod to Bubbles of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'', who has the power to communicate with animals, and/or to Tara Strong's role as ComicBook/SquirrelGirl in ''VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance''. |
| 263 | * CastingGag: She plays Comicbook/{{Batgirl|2011}}/Barbara Gordon in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', ''WebAnimation/GothamGirls'', ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'', ''WesternAnimation/BewareTheBatman'', and ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls''. |
| 264 | * ContractualPurity: She once turned down a role in a horror film that would have required a topless scene -- as she didn't want her young fans (or perverts) looking up pictures of it online. But then again she did list her role in the ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' cartoon as one of her favorites -- precisely because it was different from the family-friendly stuff she usually did. (Plus, it was animated.) |
| 265 | * CrossDressingVoices: She voices quite a few boys, such as [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents Timmy Turner]], [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends Terrence]], [[WesternAnimation/Ben10 Ben Tennyson]], and [[WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown Omi]]. |
| 266 | * EndearinglyDorky: She often plays characters that are dorky or geeky in some way, yet still lovable. |
| 267 | * FakeBrit: As Gwen in ''Film/SabrinaGoesToRome'' and ''Film/SabrinaDownUnder'' and as a hallucination in ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack''. |
| 268 | * FakeIrish: In ''Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks''. |
| 269 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: Many of her Vines involve her playing with animals or talking to them in BabyTalk. |
| 270 | * IAmNotSpock: Played with on her Twitter, she often posts pictures or fanart of her characters saying things like "Here's me naked!" <screenshot of Timmy Turner>, "Here I am in my sexy swimsuit!" <fanart of Raven>, "[[https://twitter.com/tarastrong/status/248180751940603905 Dancing with yourself is important]]" <fanart of Twilight Sparkle and a pony version of herself>, "Here's me about to give you tongue!" <screenshot of Ember [=McLain=]>. |
| 271 | * IsThisThingStillOn: In the Voice Starz training video, she warns aspiring voice actors that may be frustrated with the director not to assume they can't be heard in the booth because they ''can'' and ''will'' hear you mutter a "Screw you". |
| 272 | * MagnumOpusDissonance: Her favorite role is actually Melody in ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaidIIReturnToTheSea'', for reasons detailed below. |
| 273 | * NonSingingVoice: |
| 274 | ** In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', where Twilight Sparkle's singing is done by Creator/RebeccaShoichet. This is mainly due to Tara being the only main cast member who records her lines in Los Angeles while most of the production takes place in Vancouver, Canada. The cast and songwriters usually need to be together to record songs for the show and Tara didn't want to travel back and forth and be away from her kids. |
| 275 | ** Tara is actually quite a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W36nxRVZdsc good singer]] and has sung in other roles. This led to a case where she herself is the singing voice for Meg in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' because Mila Kunis can't sing. |
| 276 | * OnlySoManyCanadianActors: Unlike most examples of this trope, she managed to break out of it after her childhood. However, she still dabbles in Canadian works every so often, but not as frequently as she used to. |
| 277 | * PlayingAgainstType: |
| 278 | ** As [[VideoGame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions Doctor Octopus 2099]] and [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity Harley Quinn]]. |
| 279 | ** [[WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether Princess Clara, Toot Braunstein]], [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Juliet Starling]], and various female characters on ''WesternAnimation/{{Brickleberry}}'' are also oddities on her resume, as she's mostly known for being on kids' cartoons. |
| 280 | ** She also voices [[DepravedDwarf Ferra]], one half of Ferra/Torr, in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'', which is part of a series that's become famous (or infamous, depending on how you look at it) for its over-the-top, gory finishers. [[SubvertedTrope More in line with what you'd expect]], however, is her portrayal of the refugee Li Mei in the same game. |
| 281 | ** Lena from ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland'' could be considered the most villainous character that she has ever played, though out of all the three main villains she was the least evil. |
| 282 | ** She and Creator/AndreaLibman made a guest appearance on ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales|2017}}'' as a pair of AffablyEvil kelpies trying to drown the heroes. |
| 283 | ** Two-fold in playing [[MsFanservice Carla]] in ''National Lampoon's Senior Trip'' as it's not only a live-action role before her voice acting career took off, but also playing a horny teenage girl whose catchphrase is "You want to screw?" to nearly ''every'' man she comes across in the movie, including making out with her out-of-it teacher. |
| 284 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'''s Raven is arguably the biggest example, as while most of her characters, whether good or bad, can at least be described as "[[LargeHam Ener]][[CloudCuckooLander getic]]", Raven has her use a WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}-esque monotone and sullen attitude, which you'd expect more from Creator/GreyDeLisle. |
| 285 | * PromotedFanboy: She was a huge fan of ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'' and got to play Ariel's daughter in the sequel. She often tells the story of when she first met Creator/JodiBenson in the studio, Tara ''burst into TearsOfJoy''. |
| 286 | * StarMakingRole: |
| 287 | ** While she's known for numerous roles, [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 Bubbles]] is arguably the role that put her on the map as far as voice actors go. |
| 288 | ** Given the success of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', Twilight Sparkle is also a turning point in her career. |
| 289 | * VocalEvolution: Her earliest roles sound very different from her later ones as her voice has deepened over the decades. But, she can still pull off ''some'' of her TheEighties and TheNineties voices if prompted and she can do [[WesternAnimation/HelloKittysFurryTaleTheater the first role]] she did ''at the age of 13'' fairly well, too. |
| 290 | * TheOtherDarrin: Mary Kay Bergman voiced Timmy Turner in the original ''Fairly Odd Parents'' shorts, and Tara took over after she [[DiedDuringProduction passed away]] -- and continued to voice Timmy in the proper cartoon until its cancellation in 2017. |
| 291 | * TrollingCreator: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wblE8YYLyQ0 A self-proclaimed, unabashed troll]], she is well known for poking fun at the fans and subverting expectations. For instance, she once promised to have Twilight Sparkle "talk dirty", [[https://vine.co/v/h3BrDbIWuaj and this was the result]]... |
| 292 | * TypeCasting: She has a tendency to play the roles of overly cutesy, hyperactive characters. Largely averted as her career has gone on, as she has [[ManOfAThousandVoices quite a bit of range]], having played several different age ranges (babies, children [boys and girls, but mostly boys], teenage girls and adult women) as well as playing darker types in addition to cutesy types, such as [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 Raven]]. |
| 293 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 294 | ** Creator/LaurenFaust originally wanted Strong to play Pinkie Pie in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' before that role was given to Creator/AndreaLibman.[[note]]You can get some idea of how she would have sounded by watching her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhuwwtD8udA as Batgirl in]] ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls''.[[/note]] She also did an audition for Applejack, who ultimately went to Creator/AshleighBall. |
| 295 | ** She was going to be the second voice of Marie for the sequel for Disney's ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats'' which was planned to be released in 2007 but got cancelled in 2006 once Disney acquired Pixar and Creator/JohnLasseter ordered all Disney sequels in development to be cancelled. |
| 296 | ** She very nearly got the role of Julia Salinger in ''Series/PartyOfFive''. The role went to Creator/NeveCampbell, who Tara was roommates with at the time. Tara did make a small appearance on the second episode as Lorna. |
| 297 | ** She wasn't originally going to be in ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaidIIReturnToTheSea''. She was brought into the studio to record a template, which producers would then give to a CelebrityVoiceActor. [[PermanentPlaceholder However, her performance impressed them enough to cast her as Melody properly]]. |
| 298 | ** She had planned to give Lena in ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland'' a Cajun accent and spent some time working on it. However, Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}}, an expert at the Cajun dialect, said it didn't sound accurate, so she went with a more general southern accent. |
| 299 | ** Strong has expressed desire for a role on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', but so far nothing has come out of it yet. |
| 300 | ** Subverted with ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' as Cree Summer had initially phoned in her audition and Tara chewed her out over the phone to do it again or she wouldn't have gotten the part. |
| 301 | ** Strong was supposed to voice a character in the web animation series ''WebAnimation/{{Boxtown}}'' but was removed from production after she made controversial posts and likes on Website/TwitterX relating to the Israel-Hamas war. |
| 302 | * WomanOfAThousandVoices: Tara can go from [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 Bubbles]], to [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents Timmy Turner and Poof]], to [[WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether Toot and Clara]], to [[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} Dil]] [[WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp Pickles]], to [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Batgirl]], to [[WesternAnimation/LavenderCastle Lyca]], to [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Rikku]], to [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Sari Sumdac]], to [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]] and even to [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 Raven]], [[VideoGame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions Doctor Octopus 2099]], and ''[[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity Harley Quinn]]'' – with Bubbles, Toot, and (to a lesser extent) Timmy Turner the only three that sound similar to anyone with a trained ear. |
| 303 | ** Batgirl, [[WesternAnimation/{{Fillmore}} Ingrid Third]], [[WesternAnimation/LavenderCastle Lyca]], [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack Ashi]] and Raven are the only roles she's done using her natural speaking voice.[[note]]However, in the Lavender Castle episode ''Bird of Prey'', she uses her [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 Bubbles]] voice for the scene when the Paradox and its crew are shrunk down by the black hole.[[/note]] |
| 304 | ** She can also go deep in her voice, as Raven from ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' demonstrates. Apparently, when asked about this at a con in 2013, she said she had no idea about it until watching clips of Raven in the game, so it was probably pitched down in post. |
| 305 | ** To elaborate further, in 2013, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFV_zTBpnOE Emerald City Comic Con featured a sketch where famous voice actors voiced some of their famous roles in place of the characters from the movie]] ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars]]'' (e.g. Yakko and Wakko as two Death Star admirals, Calculon as Tarkin, etc.), switching every scene, a panel that would later go on to become WebOriginal/TwistedToonz. Tara voiced everyone from Raven to Toot to Twilight Sparkle to Princess Clara (she even had to switch off of doing Poof specifically so she could talk). |
| 306 | * YouLookFamiliar: Well, you ''sound'' familiar, but Tara first provided the voice of Molly Dolly in ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'''s third season -- and then starred as Gwen in the spin-off movies. |
