Tara Sands

Tara Sands (born September 20, 1975) is an American voice actor and actress. She is probably best known as the voice of Anna Kyoyama in Shaman King, Mokuba Kaiba in the English adaptation of the second series Yu-Gi-Oh! anime (known as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters in Japan, up until episode 183, or the start of Season 5) as well as Chase on Fighting Foodons, and Filia Ul Copt in Slayers.

Born in Hartford, Connecticut, and raised in New Jersey, Sands studied theatre at Hofstra University, and has had a steady stream of voice acting work since high school. Much of her work is in anime dubbing, with multiple roles in such franchises as Slayers and Pokémon. She also voiced Tiara in Shamanic Princess, and Hikaru Shidou in the OVA 'remake' of Magic Knight Rayearth, among others.

Sands has also narrated numerous audio books, including Wendelin Van Draanen's Sammy Keyes series and Ellen Potter's Olivia Kidney.

In addition to providing voiceovers for numerous commercials, Sands has appeared on-camera in a couple of TV spots, including as the 'Office Cheerleader' in a series for Lipton's Cup-a-Soup.

She was also a host on Cartoon Network's (now defunct) weekly block, Fridays.
