[[Tara Strong]] is a Canadian-American actress, voice-over artist, comedian, and singer, perhaps best known for voice acting in animated films, video games and television. She has an ''[[Man of a Thousand Voices|extremely]]'' versatile voice.
 
Born Tara Lyn Charendoff (and credited as "Tara Charendoff" until she married) in Toronto, Ontario, to American parents. Strong's acting career began when she volunteered to be a soloist in an upcoming school production at age four. Soon, she began acting in the Yiddish Theater; though she didn't speak the Yiddish language, she memorized her lines phonetically. During this time, she also performed at the Toronto Jewish Theater, where she acted in ''A Night of Stars'', and was featured in an audiotape for ''"Lay Down Your Arms"'' with the Habonim Youth Choir, where she sang the lyrics in both English and Hebrew, a feat she repeated on February 10, 2005, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel during the March of the Living dinner in honor of Governor [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]].
 
Strong is a Jewish vegetarian and has one older sister, Marla. She is frequent co-stars with fellow actress Cree Summer (who also did voice acting in kids' cartoons, particularly ones from the 1980s and 1990s); the two are childhood friends and grew up in Toronto together. She is also close friends with Butch Hartman, the creator of '' [[The Fairly Odd Parents (Animation)|The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'', fellow voice actress and often co-worker [[Grey DelisleDeLisle]], ''[[Drawn Together (Animation)|Drawn Together]]'' co-star Jess Harnell (another 1980s/1990s cartoon voice actor), and ''[[The Powerpuff Girls (Animation)|The Powerpuff Girls]]'' co-stars Cathy Cavadini and E.G. Daily.
 
If it's an American cartoon from the 1980s or 1990s (and some in the 2000s, particularly if it's a [[Nelvana]], [[Cartoon Network]] or Nickelodeon show), she's probably in it somewhere.

Has a [[Twitter]] [http://twitter.com/#!/tarastrong account.] She is very silly with it.

{{creatortropes}}
=== Tropes found in her voice acting: ===
* [[Casting Gag]]: In [[Super Best Friends Forever (Animation)|Super Best Friends Forever]] she voices [[Batman: The Animated Series (Animation)|Batgirl once again]].
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: She voices a lot of boys, such as [[Fairly Oddparents|Timmy Turner]], [[Ben 10 (Animation)|Ben Tennyson]], and [[Xiaolin Showdown (Animation)|Omi]].
* [[Expy]]: Unintentional, but there are two characters that she voice that are like [[Teen Titans (Animationanimation)|Raven]].
** The goth girl in [[Scooby -Doo! Camp Scare]] who has purple hair, who likes to be alone and found the camp activity trivia until she later finds that she enjoys them and the other campers.
** [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Twilight Sparkle]] who has a purple mane, is a magic user, loves books, and thought she didn't need any friends until she was proven wrong.
* [[Man of a Thousand Voices|Woman Of A Thousand Voices]]: Tara can go from [[Powerpuff Girls|Bubbles]], to [[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents|Timmy Turner]], to [[Drawn Together|Toot and Clara]], to [[Rugrats|Dil]] [[All Grown Up!|Pickles]], to [[Batman: The Animated Series (Animation)|Batgirl]], to [[Final Fantasy X (Video Game)|Rikku]], to [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Twilight Sparkle]] and even to [[Teen Titans (Animationanimation)|Raven]] and [[Batman: Arkham City|Harley Quinn]].
* [[Older Than They Look]]: She is 3948, but looks to be in her late 20's.
* [[Relationship Voice Actor]]: She often appears alongside [[Grey DelisleDeLisle]] and [[Cree Summer]], the later whom is a childhood friend.
* [[Talking to Himself|Taking To Herself]]: Tara usually voices multiple characters in her works, who most likely end up interacting. An extreme case is ''[[Drawn Together]]'', where she voices two main characters, Toot and Clara.
** Another example is the ''[[Batman: theThe Brave And The Bold (Animation)|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'' episode "The Malicious Mr. Mind" where she voices [[Shazam|Billy, Mary]] and toddler Batman.
* [[Troll]]: She loves teasing fans on her twitterTwitter account in various ways, she is after all [https://web.archive.org/web/20131029115433/http://srv.vocaltwit.com/3516 Twilightlicious].
* [[Vocal Evolution]]: Her earliest roles sound very different from her later ones.
