Matt Stone

Matthew Richard "Matt" Stone is one of the co-creators of South Park, as well as the movie and other media. He and Trey Parker, the other co-creator, created South Park, which first aired back in 1997. Since then, it has become highly successful, and is of one of the most popular American animations that deals with real-life difficulties such as politics, stereotyping and racism. The show has won several Emmys for its comedy.

History
Matt Stone was born in Houston, Texas, to Gerald Whitney Stone and Sheila Lois Belasco. His father Gerald is of Irish Catholic descent, while his mother Sheila is an Ashkenazi Jew. The characters of Gerald and Sheila Broflovski are named after them. He spent his childhood in Littleton, Colorado, in the Denver area, and attended the Heritage High School. He graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder and met Trey Parker while attending there. His father was worried he would "become a musician and a bum", so he insisted that his son major in something "practical." They compromised on Matt majoring in both mathematics and film. Stone graduated with a double-major Bachelor of Arts degree in 1993.

Voices on South Park
Along with Trey Parker, Matt voices a majority of the male characters in South Park. Although both Matt and Trey had originally voiced child characters like Stan and Kyle without the assistance of pitch shifting, they now speak within their normal vocal range and then adding a childlike inflection. The recorded audio is edited with Pro Tools, and the sync is altered and sped up exactly three semitones to make the voice sound more like that of a fourth grader.
