Tropes associated with Tara Platt:

• Action Girl: Most of her roles qualify for this. Seri Awashima, Katarina, and Anna Williams are best examples.
• Contralto of Danger: Most of her stern female roles and villains have this.
• Femme Fatale: Many of her roles may fall into this category, Anna Williams and Katarina in particular.
• Lady of War: A good number of her roles fit into this.
• Pigeonholed Voice Actor: While her husband Yuri Lowenthal is often cast as idealistic Kid Heroes ^note later as stoic characters with very angsty personality thanks to his role as Sasuke, Tara is often cast as mature, serious, adult women of various types from Lady of War to a Proper Lady. Noticeable examples include Anna Williams, Setsuka, Jennifer Nocturne, Katarina, Eva Heinnmann, Lisa Yadoumaru, Reina, Agnes Joubert, and Seri Awashima.
  • Playing Against Type: Ester in Ben 10: Omniverse (a teenage girl nowhere near serious minded or mature), Samantha in Tiger & Bunny (a kindly old woman), Eva Heinemann from Monster (a Rich Bitch who falls into alcoholism), and Elizabeth in Persona 3 (a complete Cloud Cuckoo Lander).
• Relationship Voice Actor:
  • Usually cast alongside her husband, Yuri Lowenthal.
  • Appears to be the American equivalent of Yuko Kaida, having dubbed many of her roles.
