How do you find them?

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@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.

Great Interview April seems a real standup lady bless her! Nice to finally put a face to the character... Nice one Michele

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@masterturk11 Thanks! 

[glootin84]

Michele, you read my mind! I was hoping that she would end it with an April sign off and then you asked her!!!! Thanks for another great video.

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@glootin84 LOL yeah I love the ending of this one! :)

[mindychan]

She is fabulous & a wonderful guest to interview. :)

[TheDoctor388]

Thank you so much for this fantastic interview. It has made my evening. What a nice woman too. Very fond childhood memories.

[Jolijop]

I hope you will also interview Jennifer Darling who voiced Irma?.

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).

You should write a book.

@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.

This interview was very informative and great. I loved it

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.
