Tropes associated with Julie Ann Taylor:
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Some of her characters are blondes and have a very good nature, such as Ratchet Altair and Holly Kujo. Notably, Taylor herself is blonde.
- Pigeonholed Voice Actor:
- She gets cast in Cool Big Sis roles pretty often, like Ratchet or Milly.
- She's also been voicing exceptionally talented and beautiful redheads with a (possibly) unrequited crush on one of the main heroes such as Tsubaki and Cordelia.
- Playing Against Type:
- Unlike Tsubaki Yayoi, who is mostly successful at playing the part of a Yamato Nadeshiko, her other major role in the BlazBlue series, Kokonoe, is a jaded, bitter, foul-mouthed woman who is not big on sentimentality and does not hesitate to take morally dubious actions in name of science and/or revenge. She's nicer than she lets on, though, perhaps best seen during the events of the third game.
- Rei Ryghts, an older woman who's quite timid and often verbally abused by her allies. And when given power, becomes an Omnicidal Maniac.
- Grenadier's Mikan Kurenai, who is... a kid.
- Don't forget Mari, a NEXT criminal in Tiger & Bunny.
- Not to mention Karol from Tales of Vesperia, who is a little boy.
- Severa from Fire Emblem: Awakening might also count, as Julie played a bratty Jerkass with a bad attitude. She does (slowly) get better over time, as evidenced by Selena being significantly less biting with her words in Fire Emblem Fates.
- And then there's Nozomi of Bleach, a moody and abrasive Mysterious Waif with a Sugar-and-Ice Personality who happens to be a Mod Soul sought after by the filler arc's main villain. Still a teen, though (or at least looks the part).
- Ichigo is a wise, cynical young girl with blunted effect who gradually shows a softer side. Turns out she's actually a 21-year-old trapped in a much younger body due to a psychosomatic illness that kept her in a near-death state for six years.
- Those Two Actors:
- Gets paired with Michelle Ruff in anime such as Bleach, Stellvia of the Universe, and Please Teacher!. They're also paired in video games such as BlazBlue, Tales of Vesperia, and Fire Emblem: Awakening.
- Let's not forget about the times she's paired with Sandy Fox: Vandread, Stellvia of the Universe, Tales of Vesperia and Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory.
