Unfortunately the folks at TheGameToonZone[dot]com took down the interview with her on Youtube that I posted due to a copyright violation, but if you want to know more about Ms. Jacobs, Peter Renaday (no interview of him here on Youtube), Pat Fraley, Townsend Coleman, and Barry Gordon check out that site, featuring what they thought about Turtles Forever and much more (these interviews are all 45 minutes and longer).
OMG it's April O' Neil!! :D The 80s version of April O'Neil is my absolute favorite I always felt Ms Jacobs interpretation of her was THE BEST, her voice was spot on for that character. Best Sign off EVER!! Vernon Fenwick disliked this video.
Great video! Given her villainish voice on that Stu Rosen bit and even an Ash Ketchum-type voice on my video, she definitely had potential to be up there with Tress MacNeille, Kath Soucie, Nancy Cartwright, April Winchell (ironically) and even Sue Blu and Jennifer Darling. I notice many female VA's have only one or two noteable roles, then quickly fade. It's unfortunate that Anime with its non-union talent had prematurely ended her voicing career, and that she won't be back for the Nick series.
@Jawad4lyfe2 Heh years of going to events and getting to know people. I've been doing this for over 20 years now. The people behind TMNT are some of the nicest people I've met. I wrote a story on the Cowabunga Corner webpage recently called Tales of TMNT Guest, it tells how I met some of the TMNT guest.
watching this i'm remembering the first episode of the original 80's cartoon where april meet the turtles and the whole series! fantastic interview michele! OMG it's April! fanboy moment lol!
@TheEvilSugar I checked some of the Moondreamers videos on here. I believe she voiced Whimzee (that green-haired Moondreamer). That voice sounds somewhere between an April voice and a Lotus voice. Check out the episode "Whimzee, Come Home!" for a good listen.
She is fabulous & a wonderful guest to interview. :)

She said there was a whole back story written for her character, about where April came from and her relationship with each of the Turtles.
Did she ever explain this? Is it something David Wise wrote? Like in a series bible or character guide?
