Tara is of the Jewish faith, and a staunch vegetarian, having grown up following the kosher dietary laws.
Tara deeply loved working on "Drawn Together" , considering it fun for the most part because it was such a departure from the family-friendly productions she was used to working on at the time. While generally tolerant of the shows Jewish humor, she did have a few problems when it came to a few jokes about writer Anne Frank , a Jewish victim of the Holocaust.
Out of all of the characters she has portrayed, her roles as "Melody" in The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea and "Toot Braunstein" in "Drawn Together" are her all-time favorites.

Sometimes a role might be difficult on my throat.
Some shows, like PPG, tape in a group session, which is always more fun,because you can play off each other.
In general, I find that for videos the acting is more realistic.
If I am not right for something there are many talented actors out there,that will get it.

I had to make squirrel noises as Bubbles and without realizing it, I was,making the face and putting my fingers up to my face to look like a,squirrel and everyone made fun of me for the rest of the day.
We really have a lot of fun at these sessions, we all get along and kid,around with each other throughout the job.
We all sit in front of our mics and our scripts lay on music stands.
Start as early as you can. Make tapes of your characters. .
