It’s a shame that Sonic characters has changed English voice actors -yet again-, but I like both Smith and Higgins (she was great as Nanako in Lucky Star – she even impressed some Japanese fans). I’m glad to hear Pollock is continuing as Robotnik.

Hopefully Lisa Ortiz remains as Amy’s voice.

Hmm…. Personally, while I like Mike as he does a really good voice acting, I can’t help but be disappointed that they didn’t hire a much more prolific name that once voiced the exact same character. Yes. I am talking about him. Jim Cummings. Dammit Jim Cummings needs to return as Robotnik.

But this isn’t exactly disappointing news at all since Sega is finally hiring PROFESSIONALS. I just wish it had been more of something predictable. Whoever voices the Scout in Team Fortress is the perfect voice for the Sonic. No competition…. except Jaleel White of course.

Good job Sega. You announced something great. What a surprise.

Looking forward to hear what the new voices sound like. i just wonder if they plan to compile characters like last time. If this guy voices Shadow and Jet like Jason Griffith did, I hope he does then some justice…and for the love of english speaking ears, make Jet sound normal like the others. If he has a similar retarded sickly parrot voice, I’m gonna lose all faith in english dubbing.

I am so happy that Jason isn’t Sonic anymore… but I wonder is he going to stay as Shadow? That’s pretty much the only character he’s best at in my opinion. I’m also glad that Kate Higgins is gonna be Tails. Can’t wait for that one!

Oh GOD, I hope they replaced Lisa Ortiz as the voice of Amy! Don’t get me wrong, she’s an…ok voice actress, but she has no vocal diversity. The first time I ever heard her voice was back when I first watched The Slayers and she voiced Lina Inverse. Loved the seeries, but ever since then every role she has ever played has sounded the same. I couldn’t watch or play the games with Amy without muting her, because I was half expecting to her to yell out “Dragon Slave!”
Hopfully her new voice actress will settle things for Amy.

I’m a little disappointed that Tails has yet ANOTHER female VA, although I’ll give her a chance before judgement. I understand the logistical problem of using actual young males, as they do grow up and need replacing after a few years. But still, I’ve always felt that female VAs more often than not fall into the same trap with the way they try to emulate a young male voice. Amy Palant was a perfect example. No offence meant to the woman, but I cringed every time Tails spoke ^^;

As for Sonic… I’m interested. I felt his last two voices were kind of generic and too old for him. I hope this guy doesn’t try too hard to sound the same as his predecessors. I’m looking forward to hearing samples (:

Eggy, well… his voice is loved by all. I doubt many will complain that he’s staying. I do wonder at the reasoning behind keeping him and overhauling all/most of the others.

You guys never should of fired drummond, He LOVED that role and 99% of the fanbase was pleased with his voice back in the day.

Now people here JASONS voice first and think thats how sonic is supposed to sound, when a mostly crappy dubbing company 4kids casts that voice.

Thats bullcrap.

This guy seems like a nice guy though.

But the Best voice actors for sonic will always be Drummond and Jaleel White.

SEGA do your research, and find out who your most oldschool fans liked the best.

DRUMMOND.

Comment # 86

On one hand, I’m quite saddened by this. Jason was actually nailing Sonic in the recent games of Unleashed and Black Knight, the only think he lacked was a bit of a buzzy tone which I feel is kind of a character trait for Sonic (though he did do that tone in some earlier episodes of Sonic X). I heard a bit of the new voice in some footage I gained from Nintendo at E3, and I will admit, it’s performed well, but it’s a little too deep and that’s not good. Sonic is supposed to be kind of a kid himself due to his age and personality. I heard Craig’s voice of Towa in one of the Naruto games and I think that’s a good fit, it sounds like Leonardo from the original TMNT and that’s not bad for Sonic, and I also heard a voice in one of his animation demos which also came close (it was the first voice shown in the demo). So if Sega is reading this, I say that could be a hint on how some of us are hoping he will execute the voice of Sonic (I have talked to my friends about this, and many of them agree that it would be best if he did those types of voices).

As for Kate Higgins, I’ve heard her boyish kid voices, and I have no objection what so ever. I welcome her with open arms as Tails

As for Mike Pollock, I don’t have to say anything, we all know he’s awesome as Eggman, so I’m happy he’s staying.

After arriving home from the game shop, I placed a new game into the wii. I knew this sequel was going to be great due to the famous crossover between two legendary mascots. With the volume quietly rising, one of the most marvelous cinematic scene appeared. I loved it so much that I have always watch it, even to this day, before I start any actual game play from it.

Now once I was able to select my character, I chose to go with Amy. I heard her say, “Let’s do this!” It was so beautiful and magical to hear her say this with sweet sincerity. Finally, her voice had been perfected again (I also like Tails and Knuckles more so than before).

Well, in any case, I hope the new voice actors will do a good job.

Comment # 90

@67: In case you haven’t noticed, Sega already replaces the voices every years. Personally, I wish they would get a young male to play Tails. I thought William Corkery (Sonic Heroes/Battle/Advance 3) made an excellent Tails. Higgins has a nice voice, but it’s just too…pretty. I’m worried it’ll just fuel those stupid jokes/rumors about Tails being a girl/gay. I actually know someone who honestly thought he WAS a girl, until I told him he wasn’t. It doesn’t help to clear things up if he keeps getting voice actors who are obviously female.

@70: Those are actually the things I DIDN’T like about Knuckles’ new voice at first, but Dan Green has improved significantly since then. He also makes a good Vector. I hope he stays.

And thank you for leaving Dr. Robotnik’s voice as is, I like his voice actor. But who is voicing other characters such as Amy, Knuckles and Shadow? Will they still have their current voice actors or are they being altered as well?

*sighs* More new voice actors again? Really? Okay, Roger made a really good Scout, Shinji and Nova, but I think he might be a good Sonic. As far as Kate being Tails, I don’t know. I agree with #80 about the whole thing where people think Tails is a girl. For Eggman, his new voice often irritates me because at certain points of games like Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure, his voice gets pretty squeaky.

For everyone else, I liked Amy’s original VA Jennifer Douillard. Personally, I thought she made a great Amy. As for Shadow, David Humphrey is the best Shadow there ever was and should be his VA again. I liked Knuckles’ Sonic Adventure 2 VA Scott Dreier as well.

And btw people, just stop asking for Ryan already. He’s not coming back. Granted I used to join in on activisms for him too, but I’m done and I realize the truth and have accepted it.

Ryan had a good voice for Sonic, but his performance was too hyper all the time (this may have just been direction however), but really, the new actors being hired are much more experienced and have many talented roles. So just give them a damn chance already.

I mean, I have nothing against Ryan and I respect for the guy as well, but really. A lot of people complained about the original cast too. No one is going to win here. All that should matter is if the new voices can fit the characters and not sound fake like some of the past ones did (mainly kid characters like Cream, Charmy , Jet, and Jimmy Zoppi’s Vector when 4Kids took over.) I’m hoping the kids will sound like kids, Jet will actually sound like a REAL character and not some awkward joke, and Vector I shouldn’t complain about now as Dan Green did actually fix the previous damage done, I just don’t want it to happen again. So as long as the voices fit, I don’t care who voices them.

I can’t imagine what their new voices are going to like for the new Sonic voice, but since you guys are going to use Viz’s voice actors, I can think of 3 characters for who to voice, Kate Higgins should also definitly voice Amy, think about it, Amy = Sakura XD she has that voice, and her voice is perfect for Amy, and Johnny Yong Bosch voice will do great on Shadow, and David Vincent as Knuckles. That’s all I can think of.

I’ll always Love Ryan! But I’m really eager to see what this new guy has to offer.

I have to say, if this is Roger Craig Smith’s Sonic voice, it doesn’t do it for me. I would be happy if he would voice Sonic in a higher and buzzier pitch then what I heard when the door opens in that video, like the sample voice I used in that video I linked here before.

I’ve always known Sonic to be youthful, and every actor I’ve heard voice him as been pretty high pitched. Deep voices just do not fit the character. Now I KNOW Roger can do a better voice, and all I ask is that you direct him to do so please. As I said, I already showed the kind of voice he can do a while ago with a video from my site.

and of course We want the name of the Mario & Sonic game is Mario & Sonic adventure.

I think out of all the voices, I’m most worried about Jet and the Chaotix….but mostly Jet…I mean Jet had the perfect voice….I hope….I REALLY HOPE SEGA, that you pick someone who can sound exact or similar to Jet….Because if Jet’s voice is changed to much it’ll ruin his character! TT^TT And I love Jet! As For the Chaotix…their voices fit them good too, but the voices they had in Sonic Heroes was pretty good too. So I guess SEGA has done a good job keeping the voices right for those three. ……Hey…is Knuckles is probably eing changed too…that means so will Storm….NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I CAN’T TAKE ALL THESE CHANGES! TT^TT great now I’m worried about knuckles voice to! eeeehhhh!

You claim you listen to fans. So why haven’t you done the obvious? The Sonic Adventure voices were requested the most. I mean, really. The Drummond thing is just so obvious. I mean, OBVIOUS.

Why, Sega do you only half-listen? Now, I’m not sure what the portrayal of Sonic would sound like, but… please Sega. Ryan Drummond is willing to rob a bank (without getting caught) just to voice Sonic.

Is there something you have against Ryan or the Sonic Adventure cast? Did they complain about pay? Did they step on someone’s shoe laces? Is it just necessary for life to be bad. So you create a “Sonic’s voice changed” knowing FULLY well that the first thing on many fans minds is…. “Ryan Drummond.”

Sega, I am getting angry now. Do you people at Sega actually READ what fans have complained about, or do you just skim-read? And one more thing. Knuckles and Robotnik had better not be changed, or I’ll get postal

Hey, uh, Spax? If you watch the Youtube video a couple more times, you’ll probably get used to Roger’s voice already. If you still think the voice is too deep, don’t come typing (tiddy-boom) to me. BTW, no offense.

@Deven Ciufalo: To be honest, you are actually correct, I did listen to it a few more times, and I even did some tinkering with it (raising the Treble to make it more clear) and it did sound more like what it should be. The emotion was still kind of forced though and I still felt it could still use some improvement which I know can be done, and that’s really all, I do look forward to seeing what he can do in Sonic Colors and I hope he can make Sonic his own yet also portray him in a subtle enough manner so that it’s not too over the top.

Funny thing, I tried respectfully giving Roger the same advice constructively on Facebook, and he removed me. That’s not a good thing, because the best way to improve is to learn from critique and such. I don’t know what the deal is with that, but hopefully he can soften up over time because I do want him to be at his best. But still, as I said, I’ll just see how he does in Sonic Colors and hope for the best.

@Deven Ciufalo: I’m not holding a grudge against him, I’m just disappointed in him is all. I’ve already held a grudge once against Jason when he gave a smug response once, and most people who know about that knows how that went :/ Jason improved as a person and I did feel bad for how I acted so I apologized to him and he accepted, the ironic thing to that is that after I apologized to him, he was awesome in Sonic Unleashed and Sonic and the Black Knight. And the reason Jason did improve was because both he and maybe Sega FINALLY took the fan complaints to heart. All I want for Roger is just for him to do the same so he can know how to be at his best as well. However, there’s still Sonic Colors to look forward to, so I’ll see how he does in the game.

@Rayzor – Huh, that made me feel better. But they wouldn’t have to replace the voice actor every 5 years if they hired someone like Michael Jackson. His voice is always cool and high pitched. But then again, the chances of finding someone like that is 1/1000000000.

Comment # 202

@TanicthePorcupine: Hate to break it to you, but as much as I liked Jason (most especially in Unleashed <3), is it necessary to act like a sudden Griffith fanboy and bash Roger? Considering BOTH Free Riders and Colo(u)rs aren't out yet, you do realize he has time to improve. Heck, someone on Youtube found that increasing the pitch of his Alton Towers voice made him sound extremely fitting to his role as Sonic. And, either way, he at least has experience with other voice acting roles. So, save the Ryan vs. Jason vs. Roger complaints until Colo(u)rs is actually released… I swear, if anyone even mentions Ryan in the comments, everyone's doomed. Wanna complain about voice actors? DO IT ON A FANSITE, kthnxbai.

In all seriousness, Roger isn't too bad. Like I said, he'll probably improve. As for Kate… haven't actually watched much anime, so I haven't heard her yet. Still, I'm kinda upset that they're still replacing Griffith from being Shadow's VA , and replacing DAN GREEN! Gah, I'm not gonna get too mad, but HE WAS EPIC WIN AS KNUCKLES AND EVEN MEPHILES…. *insert fangirl argument here* Alrighty then, I'm done my rant. Any objections?

RYAN DRUMMOND IS NOT COMMING BACK ITS BEEN 5 YEARS GET OVER IT MAN YOU GUYS WORSHIP HIM LIKE A GOD :/ HE WAS GOOD BUT NOT THAT GREAT IMO…..THE 4KIDS CAST WERE FAR SUPERIOR THAN THE ORIGINAL CAST ,THEY HAVE MORE EMOTION,FEELINGS ,THE ORIGINAL CAST LACKED EMOTION (EXAMPLE ..SCOTT DERIER,JENNIFER DOULARD,LANI MANELLA..ETC)

JASON HAS THE BEST SONIC VOICE (FAR SUPERIOR THAN RYAN AND JALEEL),HES ALSO GOOD AS SHADOW AND JET
AMY PALANT- SOUNDS MUCH MORE KIDDISH YOUNGER THAN THE PREVIOUS
DAN GREEN- GIVES KNUCKLES THE HARD EDGE MUCH BETTER…ALSO THE ICE CREAM MAN AND MEPHILES XD
LISA ORITZ-GIVES AMY MUCH MORE EMOTION AND PASSION XD
BELLA HUDSON-DID A GREAT JOB ON BOTH BLAZE.TIKAL AND WAVE
PETE CAPELLA- FUNNY AND ACTIVE AS SILVER

What can I say All of them were good even maddie bluastien (but not in 06 XD) Man they got so much better and better From the beggining of sonic X,to shadow the hedgehog To Sonic And Sega All Stars Racing ….The hell im gonna miss the damn whole cast.
But im also excited for the new cast i wish all of them good luck in the future

SOME OF YOU OLD SCHOOL FANS NEED TO STOP COMPLAINING AND MOVE ON
ITS 2010 NOT 1991 LIKE IT OR NOT SONIC WILL CHANGE …NO MORE 2D AFTER SONIC 4 DEAL WITH IT OR STOP PLAYING SONIC GAMES

4KIDS CAST-GOOD LUCK IN FUTURE ROLES
NEW CAST- HOPE YOUR HAPPY WITH YOUR NEW ROLES

EG….THE COLOUR OF SONIC’S EYES :/ ,SONIC’S MODERN DESIGN ITS REALLY STUPID TBH….
I also thought they would the game in parts because that would give them the opportunity to make corrections or try new things in future episodes .
Also it’s possible that they might release a full version on a disc or some kind of physical media when they are finished with the whole game.

BUT SERIOUSLY THE 2D FANS NEED TO BE PATIENT I MEAN SEGA IS GIVING THEM SOMETHING YET SOME STILL COMPLAIN ABOUT SONIC’S DESIGN AND COLOUR OF HIS EYES SERIOUSLY? HMPH THIS IS EVEN WORSE THAN THE VOICE ACTING WARS

I think J. Griff should stay as sonic because I grew up with that sonic voice. The truth is the voice of Roger makes sonic sound older than is he really is and it doesn’t match to me. I actually searched the comments in youtube and people are complaining about the change because they are used to the old sonic voice.

Please do not take this as if rude comment or any form of harassment torward your choice.
I grew up with sonic from ” Sonic and Knuckles” and “Sonic 3″ to “sonic werehog” and sonic riders”.

But some 4Kids Cast V/As didn’t get to voice their charatcers much e.g
David Willis (Espio)
Amy B (Charmy)
Rebeeca Handler (Cream/Vanilla)

Maddie Blaustein/Andrew Randells (Omega) She improved in the Winter Olympics/ Andrew only voiced Omega and The robots Bokkun/decoe/becoe in Shadow The hedgehog And Sonic X he decided to leave later…..I wish he didn’t :/

Oliver Wyman (Big)
He was much better than the original…he sounds more dumber XD
IT WAS UNFAIR FOR OLIVER HE ONLY VOICED HIM IN SONIC X AND ALL STARS RACING….! ONLY 2 GAMES…? D: HE DESERVED TO STAY MORE THAN THE OTHERS

THESE ARE THE V/As WHO SHOULD STAY I WANT ALL OF THEM TO BUT THAT CAN’T HAPPEN……

Dan Capella-He only had four years of silver :/ which was kinda unfair and bella Hudson didn’t get to work much on Blaze but did as Maria,Tikal and Wave

Oh the Same goes for some of the Old V/As which were terrible IMO
Jon St John (Big And Omega)-Only On heroes :/ (he was the only good Original voice actor along Marc Biagi)

Marc Biagi (Vector)only in heroes – Did a great job than Jimmy but I don’t mind who voices vector I LIKE ALL VOICE ACTORS JIMMY,HIM AND DAN..HOPEFULLY THE NEW V/A will be just as good or better.
Emily Corkey(charmy)only in heroes- SHEHAS CHARMY’S PERSONALITY BUT …. MAN SHE MAKES HIM SOUND TOO GIRLISH AMY IS MUCH BETTER
Bill Corkey(Espio)only in Heroes- HES GOOD BUT MAKES ESPIO SOUND WAY TOO GRUFF >_> DAVID IS BETTER

AND DATS PRETTY MUCH IT >_>

I feel sorry for Ryan Drummond for not coming back. But, hey, that’s okay. If Iori Minase from THE iDOLM@STER went on the next Sonic games, she would be voiced by Stephanie Beard.

Comment # 248

@Truesonic: Y-you’re kidding right? Lisa Oritz has two pitches: Mid & High. She uses the same voice, the same two pitches, for all the characters she plays and she sounds somewhat tone-deaf.

Emotion? I think you’re confusing voice pitch with emotion. When Lisa plays a character to show emotion, her voice simply gets higher and buddy that’s when your ears are supposed to take cue and bleed out a river.

I personally can’t believe you guys, you knock off the characters voices before you get a chance to hear them in cutscenes or gameplay. I have and for the first time in ages Tails doesn’t sound like a baby boy or a girl. Who cares if Kate plays the most hated character in the Naruto fandom, she plays other characters, she’s not known for that role alone. Sure Sonic’s gone through puberty but that’s not that bad, Roger does a great job bringing out Sonic’s cockyness, could take some time getting used to I’ll admit, but hey Griffith who if I take the fan’s opinion (Personally I never liked his Sonic) finally sounded right for the role, when Roger leaves you guys will complain that Roger was the best Sonic too…

As for Pollock, thank you for staying, “Dr. Eggman” =D

I finally got around to listening to Sonic’s and Tail’s new voices. At first, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to have a Resident Evil moment, or if I liked Sonic’s new voice. I mean he isn’t a bad actor or anything, it’s just really weird for me. Then I decided to listen to him a few times then I listened to Ryan Drummond, Jason Griffith and our new guy Roger Craig Smith
with what I consider to be their best respective in game moments (of course I don’t have much for Smith). In the end, I think Smith is a better successor for Sonic than Griffith will ever be. Try listening to to Drummond then Smith. I think that Smith didin’t do such a bad job of aging Sonic’s voice a bit, although it will take some getting used to. Although…If I just close my eyes and forget that he is voicing Sonic (which pretty much dooms him to constant scrutiny by fans everywhere)… then he sounds hot! ^_^

I agree that it’ll be pretty interesting to see who does Shadow in the end. I could see Johnny Bosch voicing him (he’s Ichigo from Bleach) or maybe the guy that did Train Heartnet from Black Cat, I think his name was Jason Liebrecht. Anyway who ever voices him in the end has to be able to match his dark personality. Rouge is overdue for a new voice actor and pretty much all of the female characters could be use less annoying voice actors, with the exception of Blaze.

That is where you are wrong. C.J, characters do age, but they don’t change much. In Sonic Underground, Sonic, Manic and Sonia changed but that was to show them from being babies to toddlers to kids so they changed (a bit) AND aged. And people around the world have celebrated Sonic’s 15th birthday up to his 20th this year as I’ve seen. They’ve even baked cakes for him. They’ve taken pictures and posted them up on Google and their own sites.
So Sonic is AGEING, but not changing, except I think his spikes may have grown a little longer. Because people have celebrated his birthday.

Women playing boys is a pretty common casting convention in animation. Women can sound like boys but without the pesky problem of adolescence, which would change an actual boy’s voice and cause him to have to be replaced.

Think Bart Simpson, Ash in Pokémon, Jimmy Neutron… the list goes on and on.

Comment # 266

Some of the actors hired in 2010 are hits but notable characters are misses. Lisa Ortiz is hands down the best voice actress for Amy Rose, Sega FAILED with Cindy Robinson.

Nice try Kellie, but if you, Kevin Eva, Mike Hayes, or Hajime Satomi actually gave a damn about the US fan-base than Sega would have rehired some of the Sonic Heroes voice actors and retained the best 4Kids actors regardless of petty personal issues.
Ryan Drummond is hands down the best voice actor for Sonic the Hedgehog and Sega Japan and Sonic Team will still continue to fall-short.

@ Mike Pollock
Don’t forget about Lani Minella as the voice of Pit from Kid Icarus and Barbara Goodson as THE voice of Overlord Laharl. Personally I still prefer the late, great Deem Bristow as Dr. Eggman…

Some people just don’t understand that there’s a pretty good chance Drummond won’t be coming back. I LOVE Roger’s performance as Sonic, but the writers butchered him with cheesey lines. Mike Pollock as Robotnik is also outstanding. Higgins, as Tails, on the other hand, just sounds like Palant again. I still believe that Corey Bringas from SA1 was the best Tails, and that another 8-to 11-year-old should be casted. It just seems Tails receives too muck bashing from the community because of his feminine voice actors. Being a huge Tails fan, I hope that this changes soon.

I really dont mind with Tails ,Eggman and Blaze probally even Sonic.
But they went too Far with Amy Rose and Shadow.. Im not too Pleased with Rouge’s actor but thats only because I was born in the period Karen/Caren (I dont know how her name is spelt)
And I dislikes Creams voice a little too. Silvers voice is acceptable but a little diffrent than I use too.

I give the New Actors 4/10
