They are by far the two best voice actor's EVER!!! Tara has voiced several cartoon characters and none of them sound at all alike. EX: Bubbles, Timmy Turner, Truffles, Raven, Omi, Ben Ten, Terance, Saci... and Mel voiced all of the Looney toons (except Elmer Fudd) and Barney Rubble. If you are going to put Patrick Warbuttons on this list, who can't seem to change his voice, then Tara and Mel are a must Some very nice people on that list but it is missing Tara Strong and Mel Blanc.

He also voices several Disneyland characters: Fritz from the Enchanted Tiki Room, the narrator on the Disneyland Railroad monologue, and Buff the buffalo head in the now-extinct Country Bear Jamboree (the head can still be seen by turning around after exiting the heffalumps-and-woozles scene in The Many Aadventures of Winnie the Pooh ride at Disneyland). He also did a lot of background singing in Disney films and rides: several drunk singing pirates in Pirates of the Caribbean, the singing frogs in Splash Mountain, an elephant in Colonel Hathi's March from The Jungle Book, and the dog sounds from Lady and the Tramp. =) One of the singing busts in the Haunted Mansion ride has his face. /Disney Freak Thurl Ravenscroft sings “Grim Grinning Ghosts” (from the Haunted Mansion ride), “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” from How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and voices Tony the Tiger in his iconic “They’re grrrreat!”.
