Career
While starting as story artist at Sony Pictures Animation,[3] Taylor lent her voice to Deni, the crazed duck, and Buddy, the blue porcupine, in the studio's first full feature Open Season, as well as voicing Elliot in the video game adaptation, replacing Ashton Kutcher. In the film's two sequels, she replaced Patrick Warburton as the strong mule deer Ian in Open Season 2, and replaced Joel McHale as the voice of Elliot in Open Season 3, before being replaced by Will Townsend in Open Season: Scared Silly.
Within 2006, she provided ADR voices for George W. Bush for the South Park episode "Mystery of the Urinal Deuce", but was not included in the credits.[4]
Taylor was casted in T.U.F.F. Puppy, as Verminious Snaptrap and joined the cast of The Fairly OddParents, as Sparky, in 2013, both of which are not only developed by Nickelodeon, but are also created by Butch Hartman.
In late 2016, Taylor will provide the voice for the interactive character, Gary the Gull, for the PlayStation VR.
Personal life
In 2016, Taylor publicly came out as a trans woman.[1][4]
