He's also been engaged to another fellow voice actor, Creator/BrandonMcInnis.

* ManOfAThousandVoices: Fans will argue that his voice work as France in Hetalia (which requires him to pull off a French accent) helped his vocal range greatly. The director of the dub said Tatum was the only cast member who could actually do an authentic accent of his character, even though he wanted him to go with an exaggerated, [[TheWarOnStraw Strawman]], funny one.
** Compare his roles as [[Anime/HeroicAge Age]] and [[Literature/SpiceAndWolf Kraft Lawrence]] and see if you can tell that's the same man.

* FakeBrit: Has a very good British accent, as ''Manga/BlackButler'', ''Manga/MoriartyThePatriot'', ''Killing Floor 2'' and ''Borderlands 2''.
** Tatum, a Texas native, had a speech impediment growing up and learned to speak from a British speech therapist. Despite his own family having a strong Texan accent, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdDVpwjg5Lk The fact of the matter is I kind of learned to speak from a British lady, so the British accent is never really far from me]]."
* LargeHam: [[Manga/OnePiece Eneru]], [[Anime/RomeoXJuliet William]], [[Literature/{{Baccano}} Isaac]], [[Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers France]], [[VisualNovel/SteinsGate Okabe]] and [[Manga/TokyoGhoul Tsukimiya]]. To some extent, there's also [[Manga/DGrayMan Komui]], [[Anime/SpaceDandy Dr Gel]], [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Iida]] and even [[Manga/AttackOnTitan Erwin]].

* TheStoic: Some of his characters are like this, particularly Kyoya and Erwin.
* StoicSpectacles: Kyoya and Scar, not to mention his own.
* {{Typecasting}}: Either TheStoic or the {{Villain|s}}.
** If a character wears glasses and/or is the smart one of the group, chances are he's voicing them.

*** He had a speech impediment as a child and was trained to talk properly under a woman from the UK. Explains a lot.

* {{Villain|s}}: If he's not voicing a stoic, then he's most likely to voice a villain. Some of the well known villains he voiced included [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist an anti-villain turned anti-hero]], [[Manga/SoulEater an Ax Crazy villain]], and recently [[Manga/BlackButler a villain protagonist]]. According to him, this is one of his favorite tropes he like to voice with.
