This incredibly talented voice-over actor rises above, even Cathy Weseluck as a power-house for the animated world, voicing many familiar characters! I dont have the time to go through them all and describe her talent and amazement, so I've opted to post her profile in this review and it should speak for itself. Thank you!
Tara Strong began her acting career in Toronto, when at the age of twelve, she performed at the Toronto Yiddish Theater. A novice to the language, she learned her songs phonetically, which proved rather humorous when fans would offer praise in Yiddish.Strong's natural gift for making people laugh through unusual voices was spotlighted when she starred as the title character in the animated series Hello Kitty. This role inaugurated her lifetime career as a performer in over fifty different animated series, including Nickelodeon's The Rugrats as Baby Dil, Cartoon Network's The Powerpuff Girls as Bubbles, Nickelodeon's The Fairly Odd Parents as Timmy, Warner Bros.' Batman as Batgirl, Disney's Lloyd In Space as a two-headed monster named Cindy and Disney's Proud Family as Bebe, Cece and Puff! In addition to Strong's success on television, her animated features include Disney's 101 Dalmatians as Spot, Warner Bros.' Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, Disney's The Little Mermaid II as Melody and coming soon, Warner Bros.' Tom & Jerry.
