In [[2001]], Tara and her husband Craig Strong launched ''VoiceStarz'', a business and website met to teach individuals on how to become voice actors. Before its closure in around 2015, according to claimed customers/students of the company, the cost of the classes would cost 179 to 200 USD per year, with the student mailing in an audition tape where Tar would review the audition.<ref name = "Q">[https://www.quora.com/Did-Voicestarz-go-out-of-business/answers/79398628 "Did Voicestarz go out of business?" - Quora, April 11, 2018]</ref>

She is the English voice actress of [[Twilight Sparkle]]. Other notable roles include Timmy Turner from ''Fairly Oddparents'', Raven from ''Teen Titans'' and ''Teen Titans GO!'' and Bubbles from ''Powerpuff Girls''.
Several acclaimed and well-known voice actors were apart of the cast of VoiceStarz, notably including Billy West, [[Grey Delisle]], [[Frank Welker]], and [[Lauren Faust]], among countless more.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160812062507/http://www.voicestarz.com/TheCast.html ''VoiceStarz - Cast'' (Archived)]</ref> The website was advertised through Strong's main website<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060111174629/http://www.tarastrong.com/ tarastrong.com]</ref> and advertised other business ventures by strong, Taralicious and BabaBaby.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160828160814/http://www.voicestarz.com/headshot.html ''VoiceStarz - For Tara's Autographed Photo...'']</ref> The former was an online shop where fans could buy Strong-branded merchandise (often branded with iconography of {{FIM|Taralicious}}, her OC) with a portion of the proceeds going to charity.<ref name = "about">[https://web.archive.org/web/20121110215328/http://www.taralicious.com/Voice-Recordings_c_10.html Taralicious - About]</ref> These charities were largely dedicated to helping families fund the money required for medical procedures for their children,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20121113044850/http://www.taralicious.com/Taras-Favorite-Charities_ep_41.html Taralicious - Tara's Favorite Charities]</ref> including a girl named Kiki, who was the little sister of Strongs son.<ref name = "about"/>
 
Strong's other business, BabaBaby was unlike her previous two, as it was not voice related, but drew from her frustrations as a working mother.<ref name = "bbabou">[https://web.archive.org/web/20160828013026/http://babababy.com/TaraStrong.html BabaBaby - About]</ref> The company sold baby bottles designed for breastfeeding in mind, and received some publicity, featured in publications such as [http://jenslist.com/blog/2010/12/21/tuesday-december-21-2010/ Jennslist], [https://web.archive.org/web/20160801153331/http://thehealthybelly.com/podcasts/Week_39.mp3 thehealthybelly], and on the cover of the December 2010 ''Hudson's'' magazine cover.<ref name = "bbabout"/>
 
According to an anonymous user of ''VoiceStarz'', the company may have never officially been a business, as they were denied their trademark, yet continued to potentially illegally operate for 15 years, before shutting down in 2015<ref name = "Q"/>
