As he was reciting and memorizing scripts, they noticed that his stuttering started to gradually disappear. He then got into drama and theater acting, and that voice acting is great in that it enables him to play more characters than on camera.In 2017, Tatum was cast for the English voice of Hideki Akasaka in Shin Godzilla.
Since October 2018, he and Jamie Marchi co-host the ghost story podcast Ghoul Intentions.
