Tate's career spans over two decades, with early credits including roles in Bob the Builder and Captain Scarlet (2005), where she provided voices for characters such as Destiny Angel and Lieutenant Silver.[1] Her film work includes voicing Fly-Lady in the Aardman Animations production Flushed Away (2006) and Baba Yaga in the animated Hellboy (2019).[1] In video games, she is known for portraying the titular character Kameo in Kameo: Elements of Power (2005).[3] Additional notable roles encompass Harry in Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs, Little Miss Magic in The Mr. Men Show, and characters in Shaun the Sheep Movie (2015) and The Jungle Book adaptations.[2][3]

Career
Debut and live-action work
Emma Tate was born on October 30, 1971, in London, England.[1] Tate made her acting debut in 1991 with a guest role in an episode of the British police procedural television series The Bill.[4] Throughout the early to mid-1990s, she took on sporadic live-action roles in British television, appearing in minor parts that reflected the competitive nature of entering the industry during that period.[4] These early experiences highlighted the challenges of establishing a foothold in live-action performance, where opportunities for emerging actors were limited and often required persistence from a young age. By the late 1990s, around 1999, Tate began transitioning away from primary live-action pursuits toward voice acting, a shift that aligned with her growing involvement in children's programming.[4] This marked the foundational phase of her career, which has spanned from 1991 to the present.[1]Voice acting in children's programming
Emma Tate's voice acting career in children's programming began in the late 1990s, marking her transition from live-action roles to animation, where her versatile, youthful timbre became a hallmark for portraying child protagonists and whimsical characters in British productions.[5] One of her earliest significant contributions was in the long-running series Bob the Builder (1999–2012), where she voiced multiple machine characters, including Dizzy from 2007 onwards in later seasons and the US dub, alongside Lofty in the US dub, Benny and Marjorie during the Project: Build It era, helping to bring the show's construction-themed adventures to life for preschool audiences.[6][7] In 2005, Tate took on the lead role of Harry in Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs (2005–2008), voicing the imaginative five-year-old boy who travels to a prehistoric world with his dinosaur toys, a performance that showcased her ability to capture childlike wonder and curiosity in a narrative centered on problem-solving and creativity.[8] Her breakthrough came in 2006 with the role of Perfect Peter in Horrid Henry (2006–2019), the animated adaptation of Francesca Simon's bestselling book series, where she voiced the prissy, rule-following younger brother to the mischievous Henry, embodying the character's traits of perfectionism and sibling rivalry across over 250 episodes that aired on CBeebies and Nickelodeon.[9][10] Tate continued to build her profile in the 2010s with the role of Raggles, the curious blue rabbit and Rosie's best friend, in Everything's Rosie (2010–2017), a show that emphasized educational themes such as friendship, environmental awareness, and emotional resilience through everyday playtime scenarios.[11][12] Her work extended to the educational franchise Learningblocks, particularly voicing various block characters like Twelve in the BAFTA-winning Numberblocks (2017–present), a series that teaches mathematics through colorful, animated number personas and has been praised for its innovative approach to early learning, earning the Pre-School Animation award in 2019; she continues to voice characters in the series as of 2025.[2][13] Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, these roles solidified Tate's status as a staple in UK children's animation, with her child-like vocal style contributing to the cultural resonance of shows that combined entertainment with subtle life lessons, amassing over 50 animated series credits and influencing generations of young viewers on platforms like CBeebies.[5][3]Work in video games and film
Emma Tate's entry into video game voice acting began in the early 2000s with her portrayal of Lady Grey, the enigmatic ruler of Bowerstone South, in the action role-playing game Fable (2004), where her performance captured the character's seductive and authoritative demeanor.[14] In 2011, she voiced Molly Weasley in the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, bringing warmth and maternal resolve to the iconic witch during key narrative moments.[15] Her role as Nicole Collard, the resourceful photojournalist protagonist, in Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse (2013) further showcased her ability to handle complex, dialogue-heavy characters in point-and-click adventure games, voicing the lead alongside additional roles like Maria de Santos. In feature films, Tate contributed to Tim Burton's stop-motion animation Corpse Bride (2005) as Stella, adding subtle emotional depth to the gothic fantasy ensemble.[1] She later voiced Hazel, the compassionate farm animal, in Aardman Animations' Shaun the Sheep Movie (2015), a role that highlighted her skill in non-verbal, expressive animal characters within family-oriented narratives. Tate's versatility extended to darker fantasy in Hellboy (2019), where she provided the eerie, otherworldly voice for Baba Yaga, the ancient witch, enhancing the film's supernatural horror elements in a live-action context with motion-capture support. These projects marked Tate's expansion into international productions, including U.S.-led films like Corpse Bride and Hellboy, as well as globally distributed games such as Fable and the Harry Potter adaptation, demonstrating her adaptability across English dubs for fantasy and adventure genres beyond her foundational work in children's television.[3] During the 2010s, her career diversified through these ensemble and lead roles in animation and gaming, solidifying her reputation as a multifaceted voice artist capable of transitioning from whimsical to mature tones in high-profile releases.[16]Filmography
