## Biography

Platt moved around a lot when she was young, and her family settled in Chelsea, Michigan when she was 14. She went to Rutgers University's Mason Gross School of the Arts in New Brunswick, New Jersey, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in theatre arts in 1999. She also studied at the London Academy of Theatre. She lived in New York and worked off-Broadway, and later moved to Los Angeles.

She has performed in a number of shows written and directed by John de Lancie. She played Juliet in *Romeo and Juliet* (with both the Pasadena Civic and the Toyota Youth Shakespeare Series with the Los Angeles Philharmonic); Titania in *A Midsummer Night's Dream*; Katherine in *The Taming of the Shrew*; and appeared in *First Nights: Clara and Robert Schumann* at the Walt Disney Concert Hall as Clara Schumann, in a role written for her by de Lancie.

In 2004 Platt and husband Yuri Lowenthal founded Monkey Kingdom Productions, an independent film production company which has produced two feature films including Lowenthal's *Tumbling After*, and mockumentary *Con Artists*. They also created a live-action web-series *Shelf Life* about a group of superhero figurines; the series ran for four seasons on YouTube.

Tara and Yuri co-authored a book called *Voice-Over Voice Actor: What It's Like Behind the Mic* and follow up *Voice-Over Voice Actor: The Extended Edition*, which gives tips and information for aspiring voice actors. Their first child was born in 2016.
