    In the early episodes, the voices Matt and Trey gave the boys were far more childlike and exaggerated. The pair have said they did the voices of Cartman, Stan and Kyle during film class, and the high-pitched, childish delivery often angered their teachers and got them thrown out. Over time the kids' voices loosened up and came to resemble their actors' real voices. Originally they voiced the child characters without pitch shifting; once they could afford Pro Tools plugins, their voices grew noticeably deeper than in the first seasons. They now record in their normal range with a childlike inflection, then edit the audio in Pro Tools, pitching the waveform up exactly 3 semitones along with the speed, so the voices sound more like a fourth grader's.
