Emily Neves and her works provide examples of:
- Bilingual Bonus: She can speak English and Japanese. In Cross Ange, she sings some songs in Japanese.
- Pigeonholed Voice Actor: A lot of the characters she voices usually don't talk much and are either very soft-spoken, very shy, or The Stoic. However, even with these roles, she has voiced characters with different variety of teenage girls with different personalities, even if most of them aren't Hotblooded or loud.
- The Quiet One: What she was well-known for at the start of her voice acting career such as Kotomi Ichinose and "Angel".
- Star-Making Role: Has a couple: Kotomi Ichinose from CLANNAD and Sigyn Erster from Broken Blade.
- Minene Uryuu is this for her Dallas based work.
- Vocal Evolution: When she first made her debut within the anime community with Kotomi Ichinose, she's often associated with soft-spoken, shy or stoic characters with similar typecasting. Her later roles involves more variety and the use of a deeper voice that would allow her to voice older women, more Hot-Blooded characters, and Cool Big Sis roles like Minene. And even young boys.
- Woman of a Thousand Voices: It's quite surprising that she can go from stoic girls like Angel, to older, Hot-Blooded women like Minene and even winding up as the Token Mini-Moe like Eri.
