Early life

April Stewart was born on April 1, 1969, in Truckee, California.[3] She was raised by her father Freddie Stewart, a singer in the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.

Career

Stewart started acting at age 12[1] while her voice acting career began in 2004 with South Park.

South Park

Stewart started her voice work on South Park in 2004 starting with season 8 after the departure of Eliza Schneider. Prior to this, many of the female characters on the series were originally voiced by Mary Kay Bergman. Bergman originally provided the voices for Wendy Testaburger, Liane Cartman, Sharon Marsh, Carol McCormick, Shelley Marsh, Mayor McDaniels, Principal Victoria, Veronica Crabtree, Sheila Broflovski and other various female characters. After Bergman's death in 1999, Schneider and Mona Marshall replaced Bergman for roles of many of the female characters. Marshall still provides voices in the show while Schneider later left the series after season 7 over a contract dispute in 2003. Prior to Stewart's hiring, Schneider provided the voices for Wendy, Liane, Sharon, Carol, Shelley, Mayor McDaniels, Principal Victoria, and Ms. Crabtree, while Marshall provided the voice for Sheila. Alongside both Schneider and Marshall's aforementioned characters, Schneider and Marshall also voiced various other characters in the series. After Schneider's departure, Stewart now provides the voices of Schneider's aforementioned characters, and other various characters she voiced.

Other roles

Stewart also provided the voices of Maria Rivera on Nickelodeon's El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, Raava and Fire Lord Izumi in The Legend of Korra, the main antagonist Bloody Mary in Infamous: Festival of Blood, and Prisoner X in Minecraft: Story Mode.[4]
