Her works provide examples of:
- Cross-Dressing Voices: Look at her list of characters here. Almost all of them are young boys.
- Playing Against Type: An odd case. In anime series, she was usually typecast as a male foil to the ditzy Genki Girl. However, when voicing Cat in Victorious, she was the ditzy Genki Girl herself.
- Typecasting: Due her tendency to voice boys, she was cast as the Love Interest (or potential Love Interest) to the Stock Shoujo Heroine several times.
