Here's my opinion on all of them Ryan and Jason sound the same so I can't tell the difference and they did a good job on his voice but Roger Craig smith just ruined it it sounds horrible the Japanese voice is so much better than Rogers that's all
i loved jason griffith's voice because i grew up with it although ryan dose a better profomence but he also has a slight lisp roger can just go fuck himself
I like Ryan and Jason because they play Sonic the best. If I had to choose between one of them I'd probably choose Ryan but that doesn't mean I won't choose Jason. Rodgers voice is just to deep for Sonic....
the new voice of sonic are horrible.. IS the actor that make the voice of chriss redfield in resident evil 5 , and work in naruto too ! but i hate !! ryan was the best voice of sonic !!! ='( i will miss you ryan ='(
You Know? Just because they voiced in Sonic X - Distributed by 4kids Doesn't make them 4kids actors. I own a few animes that arn't done by 4kids that They've acted in.
Jason Griffith is actually alright at Sonic. I don't see too much difference, apart from in Olympic games, which he is just irritating but apart from that he's pretty good. The 4kids cast are alright, not as bad as people make out. The only three that I think need to go back to their originals are Charmy (He sounds double what he should be), Vector (Hehe, funny voice xD. Too high) and Rouge (Just... Don't get me started. I liked her when she didn't sound like a chain-smoking hooker...)
What I don't understand is how people caan think that the original voice actors are better. I'm no 4kids supporter, but damn it, the voice acting in Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 and Sonic Heroes was god awful. Don't believe me? replay the games or just watch the cutscenes on YT. Now I'll probaby get flamed or thumbed down by the fanboys
You know, Sonic games are more than capable of working without voices. Look at Zelda, it's been text-boxes since the 80's and still is (only Midna had voice-acting, but it was untranslated Twili-babble). No, just look at Sonic 3K, it had cutscenes, it was the best Sonic game ever, only Michael Jackson uttered slight lyrics in the S3 miniboss theme. (Come on! Oah!)
So Sonic games must be very good if fanboys resort to complain about the voices, like they need SOMETHING to argue over.
Well, this throws my entire perspective of the whole VA issue off-balance. I guess I have no choice but to stop bitching about Jason Griffith since the contract's going to expire anyway. Although, to tell the truth, I stopped giving a shit about it anyways. :V
Also, I had no idea that Eggman's original VA died 4 years ago. D:
I am going to hate it when Jason cant do Sonic's voice. I mean,Ryan was okay,but Jason makes Sonic more cocky while Ryan just made him sound like like a normal teenager.Just my opinion.
Oii..Will you people give it up already?! Its the gameplay we should be focusing on, not a civil war betwene the fanbase. I personaly prefer Jason over Ryan and David, and Dan Green over whoever played Knuckles. but all of the other voices cept Eggman were perfect! I honestly hated the voicework in Sonic heroes and the adventure series.
Seriously people are nutjobs when they think jason is a better voice actor...
I think the majority of the people who have been with sonic from the beggining prefer Ryan because they know sonics true personality.
Jason doesnt give that....
I did my drummond impression on an unleashed clip...If you want to see what i think sonic should of sounded more like in unleashed watch the clip.. "i still think drummonds better though"
i actualy like jason griphfififififif (however you spell his name i dont hink i got it right lol) UHHH i think ryan is a better voice actor but people he aint coming back get over it. ANd dude how can people complain about griphfifif if he did a very good preformance in S U aka sonic unleashed he did a wonderful job in that but in like 06 he did a realy bad job i like griphif
Actually ryan had new meetings with SEGA to get his job back as Sonic but SEGA is tough to crack according to his new statement. If ryan drummond is still trying to get his job back than whats the point of giving up now after his meeting at SAGE 2008.
yeah i herd sega couild be like that... anyways i mean i love ryan but i think that jason gets hated on realy bad and i t hink he is prety good lol and well id like this... ryan be sonic and jason be shadow but if we can get shadow's old voice actor back (sorry his name escapes me atm
I feel bad for Jason ur rught. I jmean its ok to hate SEGA but a guy whos just doing his job. Thats wrong. Just cause i find Jason tolerable now doesnt mean i should hate him for acting and trying to make a living. Even ryan drummond said jason does a good job and hes irritated at SEGA.
Jason shouldnt be Sonic AND Shadow though. The first guys name who played Shadow was David Humphrey
I understand how it feels to be one of those guys. I stopped hating Jason in 2005 when i read what drummond said. I dont mind if people threaten or hate SEGA so much cuz they deserve it and i find Jason Tolerable. What i am pissed at is the wHole SEGA isnt listenin to drummond and fans. I understand the Jasonhaters. They dont really hate him. They just cant stand the fact that 4kids is still in Sonic and they just want to attack the closest thing there is to 4kids. I hate AlKahn only.
There is nothing wrong with 1 actor voicing multiple characters as long as the actor can make the voice sound different than one another. At first I noticed his Sonic and Shadow sounded too similar but I still believed he had the potential to voice both and I'm sure 4kids and Sega felt he had the potential too. Now Jason does an excellent job at making Sonic and Shadow sound different. Even Ryan Drummond voiced more than 1 character within the Sonic series and he too was good at that.
id rather play the games then watch the series its fine, the only thing i really ever disliked was that the games are short and that in sonic adventure it looked like everyone's jaws were dislocated when they talked
By the way Kongumon I cant wait for the day that the 4kids voices or most of them are gone so you will have ntohing left to say. Im not going to buy Sonic anymore because of the actuall gameplay not reminding me of the Sadventure days. The voice also gives you a feel and impression of the character. This isnt the same Sonic i like anymore. For the next new game ill just go to PlanNTrade and play SATBK for free. the voices and the gameplay are a problem. Once its solved people will stop of this.
It's a voice people!! All these videos and rants and stupid arguments and people saying they boycott sonic games from now on and comparisons...IT'S A VOICE!!! DEAR GOD A VOICE!!!
NOW LOOK HERE!!!!!!!! you know every one's voice change's when they get older! Ryan Drummond was sonic's kid voice actor! Jason was sonic's teen voice actor. Thats why Ryan left.
no not a problem with Sonic voices video, I searched for SONIC VOICE CLIPS! DX all I got were pages of this crap and rants. Like they're any good. T~T I dont care if ppl stupidly think there's a problem with the cast that sounds closer to the game than any other cuz they're too picky. Idc about their opinions if they're bias and are the same damn thing as everyone else who's bias. I've already heard the TYPICAL opinions for BOTH SIDES. XP WHERE'S MY CLIPS!!? DX
PEOPLE i NEED your attention. I have spoken to the SEGA company about this. I've spoken to a department. They agree with a particular idea I have about combining the previous cast and the new ones. They sent info of what I have addressed to the main offices. I'll tell you all what my idea is. Some of you may take me seriously, some may not. I feel 4 both sides thats why we need a solution 2 both sides. I will address it if you send me messages asking what it is. SEGA likes it!!
no no and no. XP Not only that, but it's not that easy to contact with, you have to BE THERE. You can give loads of ideas, they can even SAY they agree but really ignore it. I dont believe it. XP I think it's a nice idea too cuz I like some on both more than the other but getting previous cast to return at all is going to be hard. David Humphrey may not return even if asked, same with the voice of Rouge, Charmy, Espio, Omega, Amy, and Sonic. They're done with Sonic. XP
I like BOth Ryan And Jason, But I think Ryan just plays Sonic i a "Better" Fashion. Most people are hating Jason Just because he was in the games that started to suck. I didnt Here people Complain about him when Shadow came out, but when people heard the bad Script in Riders ("Even Without Wings, I can Still Fly!") and Secret Rings (Hankercheif thing) people started hating him. IS it His Fault that he is forced to read a Crappy Scrpit? NO! Sorry for the Overylong Comment :P
Actually Griffith did a good job first, slacked a little, ppl hated cuz it was 4kids. XP I like both as well and I like Ryan's just a little more due to the cool sound ofthe voice itself but I like how Griffith talks more sometimes. =p sounds cool.
OMFG! MY SEARCH IS OVER! A USER TAHT AGREES WITH ME!!! anyway XD, jason does not suck, neither does ryan, but ppl just dont like jason cause he's from 4kids. 4kids does screw all the anime up, but their voices are dead-on perfect. and since they cant revise a video game, then the sonic games would be a success if not for 4kids bad reputation. however the anime will go down the toilet...
It's not so much that people don't like Jason because he's from 4Kids, they don't like Jason because they all grew up with Ryan Drummond, who set the standard for Sonic's voice. I don't think that either Ryan or Jason suck, and I actually like Jason a little more than Ryan, but I'm also more familiar with Ryan Drummond's voice, so I would like to see if it's at all possible for him to continue voicing Sonic.
And I could not be bothered to read you guys comments, but i have to add my thing. I think you guys are saying voice acting doesn't matter, I have been looking for people that notice this for ages. 'Oh, Ryan/Jason sucks!' ... People who say that just are losers. Anyway, it is how much you like Sonic, cos the voice actors are not Sonic.
well they never screwed it up for me. XP Somethings were corny like music, some scenes were unessecarily cut out (but as unessecary as they were I didn't NEED to see them so I cicnt care XP" and the clean up act didnt bother me cuz I'm not some idiot who NEEDS to hear cursing and see sexual material in a cartoon OF KIDS on a channel FOR kids. XP I mean if it were adult swim it'd be odd. XD
i know! geez. ppl want everything that is plugged from japan to be either adult contented or extremely violent, or just some fanfiction crap. these ppl act like a bunch of spoiled kids that complain until they get what they want. once a get a computer mic, im gonna go nuts. XP
To be honest, I can't make my mind up between Ryan and Jason *slaughtered*
Perhaps Jason used to be bad, but he sure isn't now, becuase in any Sonic games I've played, and in Sonic X he's fine, of course with the odd mess-up, as to be expected,and Ryan messed up on the voice acting a couple of times too.
RyanDrummond42 is the real Ryan's account, and here is a quote from him when asked, "Hey ryan i have a question for you , do you despise jason for taking your part of sonic the adventure":
Ryan Drummond,
"Absolutely NOT. He's a great guy. And he didn't do anything. He didn't "take" anything from me. He's an actor trying to make a living just like I am. The powers that be cut me loose and looked for another voice and he was the lucky one that got it. He's my homie."
he HAS a job tho and he's happy. XP it's not like he's REALLY being cheated cuz he doesnt really care right now. XP It wasnt exactly his life goal. XD
Ryan isn't doing to bad, but he wants to voice Sonic again because he likes it and wants to please his fans. Why wouldn't Ryan want his job back, if I ever got the chance to voice my favorite video game character I'd jump at the chance.
My words on this...GRIFFITH IS OK! He may have sucked in SNG, but he is getting better with sonics voice. And Ryan, he has a kid now and has better stuff to do, but imagine if you were someones son and your dad was sonic. That would be awesome for his kid.
the only reason we "obsess" is because we care about Sonic as a character, and we care if He sounds like a gay surfer with death bees swarming in his can...
Sonic isn't just some lame video game character... he's our escape from the crappy world around us....
the game part is just mega-gravy...
if e just wanted to play a game... we'd play pong or something...
but no, WE want to play a game with our favorite blue hedgehog, that's been with us since we were kids...
erm... ya i don't dig japanese voices in america,im not intalerent of other lang's but when it comes to hearing voice in english or japanese i choose english even if i have to listin to that horrid jason giffith, cause well the other stuff gives me a head acke after a few mins.
yep i have to a gree on all parts with you buddy cause ever since i was about 4 i have played sonic(also because sonic and knuckles was the only real fun game i had for the genesis back then).
I know, it's ridiculous. Fan's should be more worried about the fact that if it wasn't for sonic rush and sonic secret rings, you'd think sega was slowly trying to kill off thier own mascot.
Why the hell have Sega not done something about this? Why have they not talked to Sega of Japan about this!? I think someone should just torture the corporation to death and let them know that we mean business! Jason Griffith does not make Sonic sound like Sonic! He makes him sound like a cowboy on helium problems, or a teen with a head cold. I find that this replacing of VAs after Deem Bristow died is so retarded. You can replace one actor, but you shouldn't replace the rest. End of story.
What about Sonic Unleashed. Jason is voiceing (I heaared alittle bit of Sonic's voice during a Sonic Unleashed demo preview) but the gameplay is so awesome! Jason and Ryan both do great Sonic voices. And thats my opinion. So don't come to me acting all spazzy just because of MY opinion on Jason and Ryan. Sonic is just a videogame character. No need to rant on a website. Rants are for nerds!
I like Griffith cuz his voice gives Sonic his not-so-shown attitude, but i just cant stand the up-down-up-down pitch of his voice its like ridin an upside down rollercoaster
i don't know why but people can't seem to shut up about, fine i will admit it i prefered Ryan but Jasson does a decent job aslong as he doesn't sound like a kid, its better than having some drunk adict who sounds like a clown voiceing him so why are fans complaning when it could be a whole lot worse, i like the idea that Sega is stiking with the same actors in games and cartoons because its hard to find the characters familer if they just keep canging voice all the time
Do you even know what Jason sounds like, I know gameplay is our major concern, and those crappy VA's aren't helping the cause. Not only do 4KIDS VA's sound annoying but make the characters horribly out of character, for example Jason makes Sonic too serious which is not the Sonic I know.
yeah...he sounds...like Sonic. T.T Gameplay is a major concern and voices arent..however I do believe if the voices are terrible its worth complaining about. Since Sonic doesn't sound like Cream or Eggman and is closer to Sonic's voice than any of the other Sonic characters voiced by 4kids...it's not worth complaining about like a bitching cry baby.
"sonic I know" dammit its their character if thats how they say he's supose t obe than thats who Sonic is. -_-*
The Sonic I know is laid back, always ready & loves adventures. Ever since Jason voiced Sonic he's been all dweeby and wimpy, just watch scenes from Sonic Next Gen and you'll know what I mean
1: you're perspective on the character is screwed as he's always different and also very much the same.
2. the voice has nothing to do with his personality in the game as that would be his personality and those would be his lines if Ryan Drummond voiced him and I can't say I imiagine anything THAT different from him if he DID voice Sonic in next gen.
I'm just saying that his attitude should be what I said earlier, wanting to do things his own way, has an attitude and is reckless. Sonic needs one personality that stays the same throughout the games.
lets see, next gen, Riders, Secret Rings: wants to do things his own way and has a reckless atitude.
so...I fail to see your point since it's the SAME.
and if you're not the owner of Sonic you don't KNOW what Sonic should be you only know what he's BEEN, what if this is how Sonic was suppose to be and all this time they just never got it down right?
as for saying that's the Sonic you know, if you don't know this Sonic then quit complaining about it.
that's becuase he's not REAL. -_-* he's a fast blue hedgehog who fights against robotnik in the games I've been playing since I was 2 yrs old and seen since I Was born. XP
you know what DrGnockerz I don't like you 'cuase YOU ARE a jackass. but I dont dislike you cuz that would be bad.
and I AM a jackass, but really, judging that on what I've said here? that's not smart. all I did was DEFEND something while you were the attacker. I basically said both were okay while you COMPLAINED about sumtin so little worthless complaining about. yea, I'm not the jackass here you are.
you dont even make sense. you keep bringing up something that doesnt exist.
look you over obsessed fanboy just go and doodle Sonic in your own fanfiction and imagine it in Drummond's voice and satisfy yourself becuz ur obviously not satisfied with the official way. :3 THIS IS SONIC.
*looks down below* no it just says shut up. but why would I listen to you? are you god? do I surrender my freedom to you like a dumbass? what god person would try to control another? tsk tsk
thats the most retarded thing ever. we got THAT point already. you're basically repeating ur point only with LESS intelligence than before.
yeah sure. except you said Griffith "sucked". you didn't say yo didnt like it. you also stated the change in the character's personality even tho that has nothing to do with Griffith, and you noted them as facts as if there was a real change whic hthere wasnt .I was only making a point. if you dont like Griffith's voice, cool, but dont be an ass towards him about it.
now ur right, lets stop comments.
I wont come back so dont reply. wth, you might reply anyways.
Sorry for replying, but the thing is Griffith doesn't care about Sonic, he thinks its 'beneath him'. Ryan on the other hand loves voicing Sonic but he can't.
It's unfair that someone who loves voicing Sonic and is good at it can't while someone else who doesn't want to do it and (according to most people) isn't good is forced to
you dont know if Griffith cares or not. Obviously he DOES as he's voicing it right? he cares enough. and if he cares or not has nothing to do with anything. Ryan and Griffth care just as much and just as little...thats not the POINT. The only info fans are getting about that are from toher fans and are FALSE as I've heard Griffith was an ass..well..by personal experience..he's pretty nice. T_T
and that's WHO'S fault? SEGA's. and griffith isnt forced.
just one thing. my proof Griffith obviously likes Sonic, is that he's voicing him, isn't forced to, Andrew Rannels isnt the voice of Omega anymore and he was actually good at it...he retired.
Griffith's only reason not to like voicing Sonic is fans treat him like shit for no GOOD reason. It's just mean. the Sonic fanbase, or any fanbase for that matter, are a bunch of psychos.
2: SEGA figured there was already an Eggman voice, why look for 1. the entire cast must be whole.
I dont like that decision either but it's THEIR series, they can do whatever they want. maybe they think the 4kids voice fits more and now we're seeing what the characters were suppose to be this entire time.
I like some voices better, some less, some I dont care. but Iwont hate the person just cuz the voice doesn't fit the version I liked better. =/
althoguh, listening to SA2B in japanese, I DID notice that...well...the japanese version sounds more like 4kdis than the first english cast.
You are right, it's their series, they could get the 4KIDS voices. And lose countless fans in the process, its their choice.
Sonic fans give Griffith shit for a good reason, he is not a good voice actor, he's been doing it for years and doesn't seem to be improving.
The original cast were fired for no good reason, Ryan is very passionate about voicing Sonic and one day he's fired, this is pure injustice, for Sonic, Ryan and their fans
well at least the obsessed fans anyways. =/ I dont care that much about the voices. I mean...it's the gameplay I'm after. However I DO think the vocies are a big deal if they were to suck e.i. Sonic sounding like Mario, Eggman, or Cream but since he still sounds more like Sonic than anyone else I'm cool. It's not perfect match but it's not the same person :P
he's pretty good at the first eps (sounded like Drummon AND White to me. o.O;) ppl seem to say he's good in Secret Rings. that's how he actually talks so you cant blame the speech patter. and its not like Ryan's acting wa all too realistic either but then again it IS a fictional character XD
uhh..this part is true...however he's not as passionate as ppl say, Griffith isnt as careless as ppl say, and whether they are or not has nothing to do with anything
All I`m saying is that Griffith voicing Sonic is like a chinese guy voicing Mario, it doesn`t work. If you don`t agree with me then watch a video entitled Top 25 Worst Griffith Sonic Lines, it`s a vid showing you each of his lines then some guys keep ranting about it, I swear your ears will bleed when you listen to his lines.But watch the vid anyway
And please reply to me in a day, I`ve been getting to much replies from you today.
a Chinese guy voicing Mario would work if it were the chinese verson. Jason Griffith is english, it's the english version, it works. =/ I think you're priorities are cnfused. Jason Griffith as Sonic works. DAN GREEN as Sonic doesnt work. Amy Palant as Sonic doesnt work. Jason Griffith works.
its easy to make a person look bad. I have comparisions that makes Griffith look bad, them look equal, and one that makes Griffith look superior to Drummond.
eh, Ryan can't sound like any emotion but happy like he's reading off a script..which he is. and Jason just sounds like a voice a little more friendly for a cartoon..which he is. o_O
Ryan has no emotion, WTF play SA2 and you'll disagree Jason has no emotion, sometimes he sounds like hes reading off a comic book.
I strongly disagree with your opinion of Martin Burke, he may have sounded kinda British or Southern but he put awesomeness and attitude in Sonic's character, something Jason will never achieve. Please watch the damn video I told you about so you'd realize that Griffith sucks
I said no emotion other than happy. I have SA2. he sounds...well what I call fake. No one talks like that for real. Listen to Sonic's log in SA2, he says sumtin about this beign a prank and it isnt funny..he sounds so corny XD XD.
having no emotion would be monotone and Jason has anger (like in the trailer of Sonic Unleashed and dark Super Sonic) and has happiness and dispair like in Secret Rings.
he sounded like a British Griffth. XP but REALLY I just didnt like the voice :3
thats just so much a lie. @_@ a sane person wouldnt so passionately hate...a VOICE...especially when the voice is along the lines of the other voices...especially when they complain a bout a speech patter a person NATURALLY has... that's not sane..thats CRAZY give it up. it's jsut a voice. Sonic doesnt sound like Mephiles, so dont worry about it. worry about Rouge's voice for crying out lound now THAT sucks XP
I'm mainly addressing this to DrGnockerz, but I think you are being over-dramatic when you say Ryan was fired. Fired means that a contract was terminated before its expirary. To fire someone means that the person has to be informed. Since this was not the case, Ryan was simply no longer being hired for the role of Sonic, which leads to the conclusion that him and the rest of the cast were being hired on a one-off basis i.e. no prolonged contract.
If there was such a contract and he was fired without being informed, then he would have had legal grounds for prosecution. It probably works differently for the 4Kids cast, i.e. there is a prolonged contract, and so long as both parties are upholding it, then it cannot be simply terminated before its expirary date (if any.) SEGA might not have made the most popular choice in selecting the 4Kids cast over the original for Deem's replacement, but what they have done is not illegal either.
I never implied they had a "real reason" to fire Ryan and co. I simply corrected you when you said they were fired. SEGA didn't fire them, they simply stopped hiring them. I believe Ryan fans used the term "fired" instead of "stopped hiring" to get more of a stir out of the fanbase.
Do u expect SEGA to listen to ur constant complaining? unless SEGA is going on youtube everyday (which they're not), theres no reason to fil up youtube with these stupid complaints.
hmm...I'm pretty sure all of the Sonic vocie acting was corny. XD most of all Jaleel White's XD second most I'd say was Griffith, and 3rd is Ryan Drummond. And least of all was Martin Burke and I say this becuase even with the accent that gave him style, his actual ACTING fit the character with nothing particularly corny XP
Burke sorta suited Sonic's design in the movie, just like Jaleel suits his design in the cartoons and Ryan suits Sonic's design now. And thats the end of my comment, goodbye and have a nice day!
Ryan only suited the designs of the games he played. XP I mean look at the picture on this video. It's of sonic after Griffith took over the role, and he' looks different from Sonic between Sonic Adventure and Sonic Heroes. This Sonic is a bit more bulky and dopey looking and doesnt look as sharp, thus Ryan doesn't fit. Griffith does. I mean, I like Ryan's voice, but I have no reason to dislike Griffiths or make ppl hate Ryan. Let them like whichever they like instead of being so popmus XP
I mean the Sonic with six spikes on his head and a little tall, Ryan suits it perfectly, Griffith not so much 'cause he sounds too deep and dopey to be Sonic.
Sonic's always been like that. XP And Ryan didn't always fit perfectly. XD (especially since Ryan used 3 voices for Sonic. XP You gotta choose ONE otherwise each type Ryan vocied Sonic it was like adifferent person each time and a different personality and tone. He NEVER stayed in one character as Sonic. XP) Griffith only soudned deep from 2005-2006. XD And he sounds dopey sometimes..but Sonic has always done that. XP All I know is Sonic sounds like Sonic and not like Pikachu so stop bitching XD
Never said I didn't. And it's not about Ryan/Jason, the whole cast changed you know? Just becuase I liked most of the original cast better doesn't mean I don't like the new one at ALL. They don't sound exactly the same and the style is different, and I like it becuase it sounds like the charcters and I don't like it as much cuz its different but not becuz its bad. they even still havecool lines. Espio, and Charmy sound better now for sure. idc about Tails, he sounds like a girl/kid like always.
Actually Tails always sounded like a boy 'cause he was voiced by boys. I don't notice a change in Espio's voice, Charmy doesn't sound exciting anymore. I like the original cast better 'cause they sound more realistic and mature.
and yet he still sounded likea girl and now still sounds like a boy. XP What's the difference? He's a little kid. It's the same thing. His voice is even ROUGHER now. XD The only reason ppl SAY and complain he sounds like a girl now is cuz they know its a girl voicing and she's from 4kids. butTails has a high pitched voice, my mom didnt know it was a girl voicing, and it souns cooler. girls can voice little boys sound like femals til puberty XP duh.
he always did. XP The more he sounds like a woman than a girl the deeper his voice is and the more he sounds like he's about tohit puberty like in Sonic Unleashed so I'd prefer it if he sounded more like a girl becuase then he'd actually sound like an 8 year old boy. XP Not to mention Amy Palant voice acted as Tails in Shadow the Hedgehog and at the end everyone spoke, Tails sounded like in SA2, then in his Super for Tails spoke to him again...AGAIN sounding much like SA2.
uhh, depends on the video. Sometimes the fight, depending on the person, leads to a new friendship. Sometimes it leads to an agreement. But it's usually on videos of controversy specifically where one side acts more bias or greedy than the other. =] There are many videos where it's a compliment or requesto or jsut a regular conversation and comment. ^^
And another thing if junichi kanemaru is already fluent in both English and Japanese why can't they just use him as the English voice actor as well

Here's my opinion on all of them Ryan and Jason sound the same so I can't tell the difference and they did a good job on his voice but Roger Craig smith just ruined it it sounds horrible the Japanese voice is so much better than Rogers that's all

Jason Griffith is actually alright at Sonic. I don't see too much difference, apart from in Olympic games, which he is just irritating but apart from that he's pretty good. The 4kids cast are alright, not as bad as people make out. The only three that I think need to go back to their originals are Charmy (He sounds double what he should be), Vector (Hehe, funny voice xD. Too high) and Rouge (Just... Don't get me started. I liked her when she didn't sound like a chain-smoking hooker...)

What I don't understand is how people caan think that the original voice actors are better. I'm no 4kids supporter, but damn it, the voice acting in Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 and Sonic Heroes was god awful. Don't believe me? replay the games or just watch the cutscenes on YT. Now I'll probaby get flamed or thumbed down by the fanboys
Danthepest1 2 years ago
You know, Sonic games are more than capable of working without voices. Look at Zelda, it's been text-boxes since the 80's and still is (only Midna had voice-acting, but it was untranslated Twili-babble). No, just look at Sonic 3K, it had cutscenes, it was the best Sonic game ever, only Michael Jackson uttered slight lyrics in the S3 miniboss theme. (Come on! Oah!)
So Sonic games must be very good if fanboys resort to complain about the voices, like they need SOMETHING to argue over.

Well, this throws my entire perspective of the whole VA issue off-balance. I guess I have no choice but to stop bitching about Jason Griffith since the contract's going to expire anyway. Although, to tell the truth, I stopped giving a shit about it anyways. :V
Also, I had no idea that Eggman's original VA died 4 years ago. D:

Oii..Will you people give it up already?! Its the gameplay we should be focusing on, not a civil war betwene the fanbase. I personaly prefer Jason over Ryan and David, and Dan Green over whoever played Knuckles. but all of the other voices cept Eggman were perfect! I honestly hated the voicework in Sonic heroes and the adventure series.

gotswat1 3 years ago
I feel bad for Jason ur rught. I jmean its ok to hate SEGA but a guy whos just doing his job. Thats wrong. Just cause i find Jason tolerable now doesnt mean i should hate him for acting and trying to make a living. Even ryan drummond said jason does a good job and hes irritated at SEGA.
Jason shouldnt be Sonic AND Shadow though. The first guys name who played Shadow was David Humphrey

I understand how it feels to be one of those guys. I stopped hating Jason in 2005 when i read what drummond said. I dont mind if people threaten or hate SEGA so much cuz they deserve it and i find Jason Tolerable. What i am pissed at is the wHole SEGA isnt listenin to drummond and fans. I understand the Jasonhaters. They dont really hate him. They just cant stand the fact that 4kids is still in Sonic and they just want to attack the closest thing there is to 4kids. I hate AlKahn only.
SonicVoiceFan 3 years ago
There is nothing wrong with 1 actor voicing multiple characters as long as the actor can make the voice sound different than one another. At first I noticed his Sonic and Shadow sounded too similar but I still believed he had the potential to voice both and I'm sure 4kids and Sega felt he had the potential too. Now Jason does an excellent job at making Sonic and Shadow sound different. Even Ryan Drummond voiced more than 1 character within the Sonic series and he too was good at that.

By the way Kongumon I cant wait for the day that the 4kids voices or most of them are gone so you will have ntohing left to say. Im not going to buy Sonic anymore because of the actuall gameplay not reminding me of the Sadventure days. The voice also gives you a feel and impression of the character. This isnt the same Sonic i like anymore. For the next new game ill just go to PlanNTrade and play SATBK for free. the voices and the gameplay are a problem. Once its solved people will stop of this.

PEOPLE i NEED your attention. I have spoken to the SEGA company about this. I've spoken to a department. They agree with a particular idea I have about combining the previous cast and the new ones. They sent info of what I have addressed to the main offices. I'll tell you all what my idea is. Some of you may take me seriously, some may not.

no no and no. XP Not only that, but it's not that easy to contact with, you have to BE THERE. You can give loads of ideas, they can even SAY they agree but really ignore it. I dont believe it.

David Humphrey may not return even if asked, same with the voice of Rouge, Charmy, Espio, Omega, Amy, and Sonic. They're done with Sonic. XP

I like BOth Ryan And Jason, But I think Ryan just plays Sonic i a "Better" Fashion. Most people are hating Jason Just because he was in the games that started to suck. I didnt Here people Complain about him when Shadow came out, but when people heard the bad Script in Riders ("Even Without Wings, I can Still Fly!") and Secret Rings (Hankercheif thing) people started hating him. IS it His Fault that he is forced to read a Crappy Scrpit? NO! Sorry for the Overylong Comment :P

Sonic has had many voice actors just like most memorable video game characters (Mario, Link)
There was the
Adventures of Sonic and Tails/ Sonic Underground, Sonic CD/ Movie, Sonic Adventure (Ryan Drummond), Sonic X and beyond (Jason Griffith)

OMFG! MY SEARCH IS OVER! A USER TAHT AGREES WITH ME!!! anyway XD, jason does not suck, neither does ryan, but ppl just dont like jason cause he's from 4kids. 4kids does screw all the anime up, but their voices are dead-on perfect. and since they cant revise a video game, then the sonic games would be a success if not for 4kids bad reputation. however the anime will go down the toilet...

It's not so much that people don't like Jason because he's from 4Kids, they don't like Jason because they all grew up with Ryan Drummond, who set the standard for Sonic's voice. I don't think that either Ryan or Jason suck, and I actually like Jason a little more than Ryan, but I'm also more familiar with Ryan Drummond's voice, so I would like to see if it's at all possible for him to continue voicing Sonic.

Ryan Drummond,
"Absolutely NOT. He's a great guy. And he didn't do anything. He didn't "take" anything from me. He's an actor trying to make a living just like I am. The powers that be cut me loose and looked for another voice and he was the lucky one that got it. He's my homie."

Why the hell have Sega not done something about this? Why have they not talked to Sega of Japan about this!? I think someone should just torture the corporation to death and let them know that we mean business! Jason Griffith does not make Sonic sound like Sonic! He makes him sound like a cowboy on helium problems, or a teen with a head cold. I find that this replacing of VAs after Deem Bristow died is so retarded. You can replace one actor, but you shouldn't replace the rest. End of story.

Do you even know what Jason sounds like, I know gameplay is our major concern, and those crappy VA's aren't helping the cause. Not only do 4KIDS VA's sound annoying but make the characters horribly out of character, for example Jason makes Sonic too serious which is not the Sonic I know.
DrGnockerz 3 years ago
yeah...he sounds...like Sonic. T.T Gameplay is a major concern and voices arent..however I do believe if the voices are terrible its worth complaining about. Since Sonic doesn't sound like Cream or Eggman and is closer to Sonic's voice than any of the other Sonic characters voiced by 4kids...it's not worth complaining about like a bitching cry baby.
"sonic I know" dammit its their character if thats how they say he's supose t obe than thats who Sonic is. -_-*

Secret Rings: twit with an attitude
Axxidous 3 years ago
2 things.
1: you're perspective on the character is screwed as he's always different and also very much the same.
2. the voice has nothing to do with his personality in the game as that would be his personality and those would be his lines if Ryan Drummond voiced him and I can't say I imiagine anything THAT different from him if he DID voice Sonic in next gen.
Axxidous 3 years ago
I'm just saying that his attitude should be what I said earlier, wanting to do things his own way, has an attitude and is reckless. Sonic needs one personality that stays the same throughout the games.
THATS THE SONIC I KNOW

lets see, next gen, Riders, Secret Rings: wants to do things his own way and has a reckless atitude.
so...I fail to see your point since it's the SAME.
and if you're not the owner of Sonic you don't KNOW what Sonic should be you only know what he's BEEN, what if this is how Sonic was suppose to be and all this time they just never got it down right?

now ur right, lets stop comments.
I wont come back so dont reply. wth, you might reply anyways.

Sorry for replying, but the thing is Griffith doesn't care about Sonic, he thinks its 'beneath him'. Ryan on the other hand loves voicing Sonic but he can't.
It's unfair that someone who loves voicing Sonic and is good at it can't while someone else who doesn't want to do it and (according to most people) isn't good is forced to
Thanx for being nice to me now
DrGnockerz 3 years ago
OMFG. XO w/e lets do this thing
you dont know if Griffith cares or not. Obviously he DOES as he's voicing it right? he cares enough. and if he cares or not has nothing to do with anything. Ryan and Griffth care just as much and just as little...thats not the POINT. The only info fans are getting about that are from toher fans and are FALSE as I've heard Griffith was an ass..well..by personal experience..he's pretty nice. T_T
and that's WHO'S fault? SEGA's. and griffith isnt forced.
Axxidous 3 years ago
just one thing. my proof Griffith obviously likes Sonic, is that he's voicing him, isn't forced to, Andrew Rannels isnt the voice of Omega anymore and he was actually good at it...he retired.
Griffith's only reason not to like voicing Sonic is fans treat him like shit for no GOOD reason. It's just mean. the Sonic fanbase, or any fanbase for that matter, are a bunch of psychos.
2: SEGA figured there was already an Eggman voice, why look for 1. the entire cast must be whole.
Axxidous 3 years ago
I dont like that decision either but it's THEIR series, they can do whatever they want. maybe they think the 4kids voice fits more and now we're seeing what the characters were suppose to be this entire time.
I like some voices better, some less, some I dont care. but Iwont hate the person just cuz the voice doesn't fit the version I liked better. =/
althoguh, listening to SA2B in japanese, I DID notice that...well...the japanese version sounds more like 4kdis than the first english cast.
Axxidous 3 years ago
You are right, it's their series, they could get the 4KIDS voices. And lose countless fans in the process, its their choice.
Sonic fans give Griffith shit for a good reason, he is not a good voice actor, he's been doing it for years and doesn't seem to be improving.
The original cast were fired for no good reason, Ryan is very passionate about voicing Sonic and one day he's fired, this is pure injustice, for Sonic, Ryan and their fans
DrGnockerz 3 years ago
well at least the obsessed fans anyways. =/ I dont care that much about the voices. I mean...it's the gameplay I'm after. However I DO think the vocies are a big deal if they were to suck e.i. Sonic sounding like Mario, Eggman, or Cream but since he still sounds more like Sonic than anyone else I'm cool. It's not perfect match but it's not the same person :P
Axxidous 3 years ago
okay here's where things get messy.
he's pretty good at the first eps (sounded like Drummon AND White to me. o.O;) ppl seem to say he's good in Secret Rings. that's how he actually talks so you cant blame the speech patter. and its not like Ryan's acting wa all too realistic either but then again it IS a fictional character XD
uhh..this part is true...however he's not as passionate as ppl say, Griffith isnt as careless as ppl say, and whether they are or not has nothing to do with anything

All I`m saying is that Griffith voicing Sonic is like a chinese guy voicing Mario, it doesn`t work. If you don`t agree with me then watch a video entitled Top 25 Worst Griffith Sonic Lines, it`s a vid showing you each of his lines then some guys keep ranting about it, I swear your ears will bleed when you listen to his lines.But watch the vid anyway

a Chinese guy voicing Mario would work if it were the chinese verson. Jason Griffith is english, it's the english version, it works. =/ I think you're priorities are cnfused. Jason Griffith as Sonic works. DAN GREEN as Sonic doesnt work. Amy Palant as Sonic doesnt work. Jason Griffith works.
its easy to make a person look bad. I have comparisions that makes Griffith look bad, them look equal, and one that makes Griffith look superior to Drummond.

Ryan has no emotion, WTF play SA2 and you'll disagree Jason has no emotion, sometimes he sounds like hes reading off a comic book.
I strongly disagree with your opinion of Martin Burke, he may have sounded kinda British or Southern but he put awesomeness and attitude in Sonic's character, something Jason will never achieve. Please watch the damn video I told you about so you'd realize that Griffith sucks

I said no emotion other than happy. I have SA2. he sounds...well what I call fake. No one talks like that for real. Listen to Sonic's log in SA2, he says sumtin about this beign a prank and it isnt funny..he sounds so corny XD XD.
having no emotion would be monotone and Jason has anger (like in the trailer of Sonic Unleashed and dark Super Sonic) and has happiness and dispair like in Secret Rings.
he sounded like a British Griffth. XP but REALLY I just didnt like the voice :3
I DID!! XD

OMG you are hopeless, you know what you think Griffith is good then fine, I think he is the worst VA for Sonic ever (And so does any sane person).
So lets just stop posting comments right now and don't reply to me ever again.
DrGnockerz 3 years ago
thats just so much a lie. @_@ a sane person wouldnt so passionately hate...a VOICE...especially when the voice is along the lines of the other voices...especially when they complain a bout a speech patter a person NATURALLY has... that's not sane..thats CRAZY give it up. it's jsut a voice. Sonic doesnt sound like Mephiles, so dont worry about it. worry about Rouge's voice for crying out lound now THAT sucks XP
ehh cow poop XP lmao

I'm mainly addressing this to DrGnockerz, but I think you are being over-dramatic when you say Ryan was fired. Fired means that a contract was terminated before its expirary. To fire someone means that the person has to be informed. Since this was not the case, Ryan was simply no longer being hired for the role of Sonic, which leads to the conclusion that him and the rest of the cast were being hired on a one-off basis i.e. no prolonged contract.

If there was such a contract and he was fired without being informed, then he would have had legal grounds for prosecution. It probably works differently for the 4Kids cast, i.e. there is a prolonged contract, and so long as both parties are upholding it, then it cannot be simply terminated before its expirary date (if any.) SEGA might not have made the most popular choice in selecting the 4Kids cast over the original for Deem's replacement, but what they have done is not illegal either.
Kongumon 3 years ago
But there was no real reason for SEGA firing Ryan & co. Just 'cause one VA died doesn't mean they have to replace the whole cast.
No one ever had a problem with Ryan and co.
DrGnockerz 3 years ago
I never implied they had a "real reason" to fire Ryan and co. I simply corrected you when you said they were fired. SEGA didn't fire them, they simply stopped hiring them. I believe Ryan fans used the term "fired" instead of "stopped hiring" to get more of a stir out of the fanbase.
Kongumon 3 years ago
Well SEGA should stop hiring 4KIDS VAs

and u should shut the hell up.
darkgomugomu 3 years ago
And you expect me to shut up just because you said so? You're a good comedian XD.
DrGnockerz 3 years ago
Do u expect SEGA to listen to ur constant complaining? unless SEGA is going on youtube everyday (which they're not), theres no reason to fil up youtube with these stupid complaints.
darkgomugomu 3 years ago
he said SHOULD, he didnt tell you to do it. XP and your come back was a bit corny. you're a bad comedian. XP
Axxidous 3 years ago
Corny, like Griffith's voice acting, don't think so!
DrGnockerz 3 years ago
hmm...I'm pretty sure all of the Sonic vocie acting was corny. XD most of all Jaleel White's XD second most I'd say was Griffith, and 3rd is Ryan Drummond. And least of all was Martin Burke and I say this becuase even with the accent that gave him style, his actual ACTING fit the character with nothing particularly corny XP
Axxidous 3 years ago
Burke sorta suited Sonic's design in the movie, just like Jaleel suits his design in the cartoons and Ryan suits Sonic's design now. And thats the end of my comment, goodbye and have a nice day!
DrGnockerz 3 years ago
Ryan only suited the designs of the games he played. XP I mean look at the picture on this video. It's of sonic after Griffith took over the role, and he' looks different from Sonic between Sonic Adventure and Sonic Heroes. This Sonic is a bit more bulky and dopey looking and doesnt look as sharp, thus Ryan doesn't fit. Griffith does. I mean, I like Ryan's voice, but I have no reason to dislike Griffiths or make ppl hate Ryan. Let them like whichever they like instead of being so popmus XP
Axxidous 3 years ago
I mean the Sonic with six spikes on his head and a little tall, Ryan suits it perfectly, Griffith not so much 'cause he sounds too deep and dopey to be Sonic.
DrGnockerz 3 years ago
Sonic's always been like that. XP And Ryan didn't always fit perfectly. XD (especially since Ryan used 3 voices for Sonic. XP You gotta choose ONE otherwise each type Ryan vocied Sonic it was like adifferent person each time and a different personality and tone. He NEVER stayed in one character as Sonic. XP) Griffith only soudned deep from 2005-2006. XD And he sounds dopey sometimes..but Sonic has always done that. XP All I know is Sonic sounds like Sonic and not like Pikachu so stop bitching XD
Axxidous 3 years ago
I thought you liked Ryan better?
DrGnockerz 3 years ago
Never said I didn't. And it's not about Ryan/Jason, the whole cast changed you know? Just becuase I liked most of the original cast better doesn't mean I don't like the new one at ALL. They don't sound exactly the same and the style is different, and I like it becuase it sounds like the charcters and I don't like it as much cuz its different but not becuz its bad. they even still havecool lines. Espio, and Charmy sound better now for sure. idc about Tails, he sounds like a girl/kid like always.
Axxidous 3 years ago
Actually Tails always sounded like a boy 'cause he was voiced by boys. I don't notice a change in Espio's voice, Charmy doesn't sound exciting anymore. I like the original cast better 'cause they sound more realistic and mature.
DrGnockerz 3 years ago
and yet he still sounded likea girl and now still sounds like a boy. XP What's the difference? He's a little kid. It's the same thing. His voice is even ROUGHER now. XD The only reason ppl SAY and complain he sounds like a girl now is cuz they know its a girl voicing and she's from 4kids. butTails has a high pitched voice, my mom didnt know it was a girl voicing, and it souns cooler. girls can voice little boys sound like femals til puberty XP duh.
Axxidous 3 years ago
Tails sounds too much like a girl now.
DrGnockerz 3 years ago
he always did. XP The more he sounds like a woman than a girl the deeper his voice is and the more he sounds like he's about tohit puberty like in Sonic Unleashed so I'd prefer it if he sounded more like a girl becuase then he'd actually sound like an 8 year old boy. XP Not to mention Amy Palant voice acted as Tails in Shadow the Hedgehog and at the end everyone spoke, Tails sounded like in SA2, then in his Super for Tails spoke to him again...AGAIN sounding much like SA2.

do u and Dr.Gnockerz just come to a video to fight? every comment i see of urs or Dr. gnockerz, either u or him are replying
darkgomugomu 3 years ago
uhh, depends on the video. Sometimes the fight, depending on the person, leads to a new friendship. Sometimes it leads to an agreement. But it's usually on videos of controversy specifically where one side acts more bias or greedy than the other. =] There are many videos where it's a compliment or requesto or jsut a regular conversation and comment. ^^
Axxidous 3 years ago
i have to say that is true. but he talks like that because the voice acter is a girl.
huskiesghost 3 years ago
I know but there are female voice actors out there that can sound like little boys, take Nancy Cartright for instance who does the voice of Bart.
DrGnockerz 3 years ago
good point
huskiesghost 3 years ago
I bet Amy Palant doesn't even know Tails is a boy.
