Smith moved to Los Angeles in 1986 on the “semi-promise” of a part in a TV film. After the audition, the role was given to another actress. Smith realized “that people don’t mean what they say. It’s not malicious. They just don’t realize how much impact they have on an impressionable actor – and all actors are impressionable.” From then on, she decided to “just sort of build a wall around myself”, to cope with the disappointment of not getting a part. In Los Angeles, Smith appeared in theatrical productions of Living on Salvation Street, for which she was paid $14 for each performance, Boys and Girls/Men and Women, and How the Other Half Loves, and played the recurring role of Louella Waters on the Showtime series Brothers. She appeared in the films The Legend of Billie Jean and Ginger Ale Afternoon (1989) as “trailer-park girls”. She later spoke of her regrets of appearing in the latter in her one-woman show More.

Smith’s longest-running role is voicing Lisa Simpson on The Simpsons. She has voiced Lisa since 1987, beginning with The Simpsons shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show. Smith had initially been asked to audition for the role of Lisa’s brother Bart, but casting director Bonita Pietila thought her voice was too high. Smith later recalled “I always sounded too much like a girl, I read two lines as Bart and they said, ‘Thanks for coming!'” Smith was given the role of Lisa, instead. She denies rumors that she almost turned down the role, though admits she had never planned a career in voice-over work. Pietila stated that, having seen her in Living on Salvation Street, Smith was always her preferred choice. Smith lifts her voice up slightly to perform the role. Lisa is the only regular character voiced by Smith, although in some earlier episodes, she provided some of Maggie’s squeaks and occasional speaking parts. Smith has only voiced characters other than Lisa on very rare occasions, with those characters usually being some derivative of Lisa, such as Lisa Bella in “Last Tap Dance in Springfield” and Lisa, Jr. in “Missionary: Impossible” (both from season 11 in 2000). Smith spends two days a week recording the show.
