  • Both of them make Sonic sound like a teenage surfer.

  • They sound exactally alike if you ask me. 

  • What are your thoughts on Roger Craig Smith as Sonic?

  • they were both shit at first but both improved. when the cast of sonic finally improved, they were fired. thank god nobody complains about the new cast

  • (This is in general, not Drummond vs Griffith)

    For a lot of people a dub cast is crap (with the few rare exceptions). I could care less.

    As far as I'm concerned the casting director should've taken another chance on someone else and the voice director should do a better job instructing the actors on their delivery of lines.

    You wanna know what was the last Sonic game I played? Sonic 3D.

  • An actors job is to tell a "story". It doesn't matter if they suck or not that is their job. I believe some people get the idea that in some way they own sonic. News Flash: Sega owns Sonic and they can do whatever they want with him even put him in a dress. End of story.

  • some animes that i like. All in all, I dont like that Sega changed the voice actors but I understand why and I respect that.

  • Jason Griffith and Mike Pollock(dont know if i spelled it right) were the best thing to come out of the 4kids group. Im mad at Sega for changing the voice actors(not amys cause id rather have a minnie mouse knockoff then have the 4kids voice actor). Im glad that they kept Mike but i really think think they shouldve kept Jason cause he is way better than Drummond or Smith. The new voice actor for Shadow aint half bad, I still prefer Griffith but I like the new guy cause he has done some work on

  • @shadowdragonshadow Ah. Greed

  • fag

  • Dude, you just need to settle down.

  • We are the church of Ryan Drummond. Ryan forgives you your sins. For $10, you can wash Ryan's feet. We accept Paypal.

  • does it really matter wich voice is better?

  • fuck sonic

  • Yes, this war was absolutely retarded, though I think Drummond's Sonic was plenty cocky, no idea where you got your conjecture there DCE.

  • @KELLSONIC

    Yes.

  • @KELLSONIC O_O Dude, the Drummond vs Griffith wars arn't THAT stupid.

  • @darksamusfreak89 yes they are.

  • Comment removed

  • In my opinion, I prefer the new voice actor, he actually gives Sonic PERSONALITY and still keeps that same cocky attitude. Ryan was pretty good, Jason needs work, end of the never ending story.

  • @silvershadow745 i still like sonic nnot as much as i like shadow sonic has changed over the years i grew up with sonic and really had played every single sonic game

  • Comment removed

  • i love sonic i don't care about the voices. But people are bitching about voices.

    come on.

  • XD i like sonic uleashed a little its good its just sonic he gay XD the end was funny THANK YOU FOR ANTIING SONIC

  • XD SEGA does suck

  • @bev166 When you say Sonic sucks do you hate Sonic?

  • SONIC SUCKS YEAH!!! i like the waiting shit too i hated the sonic the hedgehog 06 cuz of elise XD YOU ROCK!!!

  • forget you

  • they already changed the voices but not the original cast.

  • Fact: Ryan Drummond helped make Guitar Hero: Van Halen.

  • They still whine about voice actors. I've created a rule that if the voice actor gets over it, you have to get over it. There was once a time when Ryan Drummond use to ask for his job back or atleast to voice a different character but he gave up and got over it. Its that simple. -_-

  • What they need to do is just change the VA's for Sonic and Shadow, it'd perhaps give a change.

  • @shadowsaber2 they did

  • people say i sound like bush W Bush

  • rants are overrated

  • Thank You, Your whole Rant made sense, I really don't care about the VA, To me they all did a good job, what I hate is that the fanboys think that Ryan is like some kind of god, The original voice of Sonic was Jaleel White, but non of us cared when he and the rest left the show. People need to stop anyway its mostly the new generation's turn to know about Sonic.

  • this

  • If "this" you mean the new generartion, then yeah, I'm mean its okay to still like Sonic, but for people who played Sonic back in the Genesis days, Its so freaking childish.

  • this

  • I would leave a comment, but I'm not about to get flamed like H*ll.

  • there are some sonic games that are ok like sonic unleashed but there are some that are crappy and i dont care about the voice actors eather maybe thay shude have made sonic a mute like mario link kirby and donkey kong then everyone will quiet bitching about the voices.

  • Nintendo listens? I'm sorry, but I find that hard to believe completely....people wanted Krystal, Ridley, King K. Rool and Geno in Brawl....they did NOT want characters like Toon Link or R.O.B.

    Just saying.

  • Personally I do not see the big deal in the voice change. Of course they sound different but its something that you just need to get used to. I remember when they changed Ratchet's Voice from Ratchet&Clank and I was really pissed at Insomniac games for doing so. But then I got over it and now I don't even care anymore. Its not like they changed the character overall guys be happy of that.

  • "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" and if i don't?

  • It's not like they liked Ryan much anyway..

    Watch those retards are going to be complaining about the next voice actor after Jason Griffith.

  • Who fucking cares.. The voice actors are such an irreverent matter, and you're bitching doesn't make it any bitching. You're not bring great justice.

  • *bringing

  • It's easy to see why ratings are disabled, you suck.

  • TEAM GRIFFITH

  • legend has it that a faggot by the name of spax3 caused this shit storm....

  • i like jason griffith better than ryan ryans annoying BUT JASON HES NOT ANNOYING THE FING SAGA SCRIPTS GIVE HIM BAD LINES I CAN COME UP WITH BETTER LINES!!!! maby i should get the job on writing the scrips lol!!

  • "Two of the most annoying voiceactors I have ever heard." AGREED, the games could do with text boxes, like Zelda, being the best series ever made. You know, the best Sonic game had no voices, except if you count "BLOINK," and "DEESHH!" (jump and spindash SFX) as voiceclips.

  • oh dude dont get sonic unleashed my brother got that peace of shit game it fuckin sucks the game is boring the voices are pathetic and when you become sonic unleashed its not so special sonic has hardly any powers he just runs its fucking anoying sega is getting worse and wose plus dont just get mad at sega sonic team is in this to read the game case we all know how to read

  • *face palm*

  • I find it interesting that Jaleel White, one of the original Sonic cartoon VAs and, in my humble opinion, the best of the American Sonic's so far, hasn't been begged to return while Ryan Drummond, who was ok but not this "GODCHILD DESCENDING FROM ON HIGH TO VANQUISH ALL THE WORLD'S WOES" that people paint him out to be, is literally screamed and cried over.

    Plus, really, compared to the Franchise's actual length, Sonic hasn't had a voice until relatively recently. Why is it such a big deal?

  • Well Sonic did have a voice in Sonic CD, but it was only one line I think.

  • A few lines, actually.

  • Sega writes the script for the games,it's not Ryan's fault that they can't come up with better lines.

  • Griffith HAS been improving, but I'll admit, the old ones are much better. But after Unleashed, I did get over it. (Even though I didn't give a crap to begin with)

  • i agree with you all the way about sega and stuff. but what if they hired another voice actor even better. now that would be awesome!

  • Well here's the thing, it wasn't Drummond's idea to say the cheesy lines, those were scripts that Sega made that Drummond HAD to say. I bet he didn't like the idea as much as you didn't like it but he just did what he was told because of the pay.

  • 1:29  LOL

  • Griffith sounds more "normal" to me, a Drummond fan, every game. The fanboys are just trying to find reasons to bitch at other people. Why not bitch at console fanboys, you crazy Sonic fanboys?

  • i heard the beepy sound

  • I take it no one but me noticed the quiet beeping sound throughout this video.

  • Ryan and Jason are both good but Jaleel should have voiced him in the games.

  • Right on!

    I also am sick & tired of the stupid voice actor debate. I mean seriously, which is more important? Good voices or good game controls?

  • Its better than the recolor debate thats actually worse WORSE!!!!

    Recolors are just a waste of time.

  • nice screenshot. i wanna see a fatality

  • ha you did a good ryan drummond impression. RYAN DRUMMOND 4EVER!

  • To promote the release the release of Marvel Ultimate Allaince 2 Stan Lee did an interview about how important voice acting is especially on DeadPool. Voice Acting is important coming from a guy like that.

  • I prefer Ryan for the sole purpose because he proved that he could voice. In an interview, he said he had to audition with many others and got the part. But Jason only got the part only because he is in 4Kids.

    To me, I like Ryan because he earned it and dislike Jason because he simply just pushed Ryan aside and got the job handed to him. That's just not fair, really.

  • Ryans good, jasons good,whites the best

  • Jaleel is the best. Ryan is second place on my list. Jason has been improving a little bit. But Jaleel is still first place.

  • @FirebirdFreak87 I bet Roger Craig Smith hit 4th place, didn't he? LOL (In your opinion, that is.)

  • griffith is getting better. I mean sonic and the black knight, griffith did a good job there for example: sonics first line in the game was great

  • he was terrrible in black knight he sounded worse

  • Nah he was alwsome in Black knight now shut up and quit being a stupid fanboy Ryan never coming back

  • He can do beter than you.

  • I just switch the voice to japanese, the english ones make me wont to rip my ear drums out

  • I agree I'm not a fan of Drummond but nowadays I'd say Griffith is almost....perfect THERE I SAID IT...

  • Almost and will never be Ryan Drummond is the PERFECT Sonic without a doubt

  • I disagree Drummond wasn't that good especialy in SA1 Griffith just needs a tiny bit more work I bet he'll be closer to perfection by the next game

    Some people just hate him becouse hes with 4Kids well if thats the case....Mike Pollock and Dan Green

  • fuck you prick fag sidity ass bitch dick lick riding fucker

  • Damn... I can't believe how much damage Spax caused to the Sonic Fanbase.

  • its not just spax dude

  • its the whole self destructive nature the fanbase has been taking in latey spax contributed yes but this whole thing started way before him :/

  • Two be honest I see them BOTH as good VAs for Sonic the Hedgehog.

  • @NeoSamuel Me too! I hope Roger Craig Smith does a good job, too!

  • hey!hey! hey! do you know who's whaching this! the real sonic the hedgehog and he's me ok! i hope you don't get your sorry butt in jail for this when i tell sega!

  • *facepalm* it's kind of obvious Sonic isn't real.

  • I agree with u Random. Its not likely any of the voice casters will come back. I dont like the 4kids actors but ive grown used to them tho i think the old guys r better. But b****ing about this wont help. Focus on the gameplay and if u hate the voices turn the volume down. Becuz crying about voices wont change anything.

  • The reason why the change SEGA voices with the 4Kids voices is because the guy who voiced Eggman in SA1,SA2 & Sonic Heroes died. But the fanboys do need to know when to shut the hell up.

  • Noone needs to shut up but you

  • Excuse me! I was saying the truth. The sonic fanboy are the ones who need to shut up not me!

  • Everyone from FANBOYS to Fans and even Crtics have had a greivance with Jason Griffith. You cant speak for everyone. Its true

  • Don't worry,Random,Maybe Mega will be in the next one(If there is one)

  • Griffith is WAAAY better than Drummond! Sonic fan-brats, know this fact AND the fact that Ryan's gone and never comin' back! SO STFU!!!!!

  • Ryan is WAAAYYY Better than Griffith. The only fnabrats are the ones who gloat like they want to masterbate to their dick sucking idol Griffith

    Eventually Jason will get fired and someone else will take his place so STFU!!!!!!!!! :)

  • here's my verdict:

    you no like jason? switch to japanese, or just mute the damn voices XD

  • or ask for the proper voices back and complain to Sega uuntil they give into your demands. Its what Ill do. Anyone who doesnt really doesnt even have a brain

  • Those retards who bitch about wanting Ryan back are RETARDED. Jason is getting better, grow up

  • rayn drumond vs jason griffeth who cares? all i care about is if the game is good

  • Nintendo didn't do SHIT for me.

  • Shadow the Hedgehog sounds like Brago, from Zatch Bell.

    Jason Griffith's Shadow voice sounds like Wally Wingert's Brago voice...

  • I actually haven't played any of the new sonic games since sonic adventure battle 2 (or brawl if that counts). I would like to play them I just don't have any money XD

    I sure wish I wasn't poor....

  • Saying *Hey I´ll play with you some other time!* is not Ryan Drummond´s fault. It´s just a horrible dialogue from the writers.

    Same goes with *Yeah let´s party!* and all those lines. (I´m not defending Ryan Drummond I just think that you are blaming the wrong person)

  • OH shut up!!!

  • i like them both and i have all sonic games

  • To Be honest Jaleel white>ALL

  • RandomDCE even though I'm not really that upset that Jason voices sonic but moaning and arguing are two of my favourite past time,as for the acting if not the old cast then why not Martin Burke, Lainie Fraiser, Bill Wise and Edwin Neal from Sonic the movie they did a good job

  • or kill the voice actors that way we lose the

    acts when they're in jail

  • And to be honest, I don't really like Jaleel White.

  • Though I do want Drummond back, I kinda like Griffith as Sonic's VA. Sure, he was terrible in 06, Riders and Zero Gravity, but he was OK in Shadow, and I didn't have THAT much of a problem with him in Secret Rings. And he does sound a lot better in Unleashed. As I said on the "war against fanboyism" rant, he's no Drummond, but he'll do.

  • Ture on the other hand I thought the same as you. Until someone PMd me ryan drummonds new statement. Have youseen it. He has said that he would go back to voicing Sonic in a heartbeat and that politics, Favoritism, and Egos play into the voice of Sonic.

  • is it me or does the guy in the picture on the right look similiar to Spax3

  • I really hate those stupid rants and arguements about "GIVE RYAN BACK! JASON SUCKS!!" Like you said, stop buying the freaking games, and I just realized, mostly all I read and hear about the Sonic games are all about the voices! They dont give a crap about the freaking plot, or the graphics! They just want to have something to cry, whine, and PMS about.

  • I agree but why did you only mention plot and graphics isn't gameplay what really counts a game? The graphics are actually pretty good and plots aren't really important if the gameplay is enjoyable. enough to make you wanna keep playing.

  • aaaah crap, forgot that part ^^; well, the gameplay is also very important

  • Is the gameplay that important anymore. Im not being stupid but Unleashed had good gameplay. I think we should keep worrying about the voice and Sonics character design. They change too many things. The gameplays fine but DCEs ight. the games still fail cause they re not Drummond. Unleashed could have been better though. I feel emotion when wacthing the cutscenes Now i just dont cause of 4kids.

  • I can't tell you how many times I've heard "the gameplay is not important anymore" no the gameplay is always important, voice actors and graphics are main things that DON'T make a video game. Besides, the gameplay in Sonic games are still not that great, there are still alot of flaws.

  • The gameplay is always important So what if it has a few problems Your asking for the gameplay to be godly perfect but come on Sega knows that they can only go so far. Sonic Adventure had good gameplay So? Sonic Adventure 2 Had GREAT gameplay because it got better than the first time. There will be a better game than Unleashed and the gameplay will be fine. That was a start at good GP but good god! Dont act like its a problem besides Drummond made a statement about wanting to come back also.

  • I'm not in the mood to argue so I'll make this quick.

    Do you really think drummond will come back? FYI he would have came back o I don't know, 4 yrs ago. Besides, drummond was Sonic's "kid" voice and everyone including myself has just got use to Jason's voice. I'm not asking for the gameplay to be GODLY but there are still more important issues with it unlike a simple voice actor. Sega doesn't care about drummond or the fans, they care for profit...nothing more, nothing less

  • No were not used to Jasons voice because he is a mediocure actor and Drummond made a recent statement which is something you have trouble undertanding. Im not going to argue but he has his kid. He even left a new statement. Jinichi Kanemaru is Sonics kid voice. Theres NO OlderSonic. Jason sounds like hes trying to express a diff voice with each character but they all sound close. He sucks less but than again Drummond left a statement on wikipedia and his website. Try reading it

    And Sega issht

  • Yes Jason in the begining was a mediocre voice actor but he is ACTUALLY GETTING BETTER as time goes on, its called practice. Also I don't have trouble understanding about Drummond posting a statement on wiki, what I was tring to say was Sega doesn't give a shit about Drummond they are to greedy. He can beg, moan, cry, and bitch to them all he wants but hes not getting his job back, but hey this is Sega we are talking about he so no arguement really. BTW your last comment basically sumed up mine.

  • And thats why Sonic is only good for nostalgia now a days. As long as Sega is being Greedy with Sonic and profit to an extent they dont have to be, Im off Sonic Games. They quality is going down and sos my fandom. Ill stick to playing the old games, I dont hate Sonic. Im just going to stop buying the games.

  • Yea, same here.

  • SonicVoiceFan, Just STFU, no one cares.

  • I dont know what you mean about Sonic Voice Fan. I heard somebody was doing something to support Ryan Drummond but thanks for giving me the name I think. Did you see all the people thats guys doing this for. I heard Ryan said something but I dont know what it is. Maybe I can ask this Sonic Voice Fan Guy? I didnt understand about your comment to that guy earilier because you trying to make it seem like Im him. Im Not but just because I care about the voices dont tell me to shut the fuck up

  • It's obviously you. You're bitching about the sonic voices, and you are talking in paragraphs, plus you delete comments liek a pussy. Your so butthurt.

  • Theres plenty of people that delete comments. And in paragraphs and I met Voice Fan Hes awesome and yes he told me about you. He said your Genofax and Zoo Mario64. Am I right? I dont like Jason Griffith and I have nothing to do on youtube anyway. I just want to spread the word. SVF deletes comments because he doesnt like fighting with people unless its for a good cause and he deletes comments because he doesnt want to look at them and start anything. Leave him alone. Hes not even atacking u now

  • And by the way Sega is making shit games like Sonic and the Black Knight. I played it the poroblem with it is that The more Sega doesnt loisten to fans the more money they ll lose. Besides tat SATBK is taking a new character and putting them in a new world. If Sega created new franchises and placed gimmicks on those it wouldve been good like Yuji Nakas lets Tap game for the Wii.

    You dont see Sonic Dancing from a game made at Prope

  • Jason is getting better. But It would be great if ryan came back

  • i like jason more ryansorta was...wierd.......i love White and burks the mostbut ihave to admitjasonis good and i like sonis jap. voice.

  • You cant blame drummond for the diolouge; he doesn't choose what he can say. I thought his performance in SA2 was top-notch!

    Idont know what happened in Heroes, though

    Good Vid!!

  • Neither Ryan or Jason is anything that special.

    Fantastic rant.

  • ryan drummond said hey i'll play with you some other time in sonic adventure 2 fag. ryan drummond is SO much better than jaleel or anyone else who was sonic.

  • i want a shadow the hedgehog 2 for ps2 ps3 wii and 360 dont u?

  • another reason sonic shouldnt talk!

  • I agreed with you..and for awhile I stop buying the games. but thank goodness for Japanese!! XD Now I only buy the games that have a Japanese track, if they don't I don't buy, simple enough to me. You have noticed that too I take it? SEGA is no longer working to make games for fans, just to pull in more money...Their "Sonic Central" is just so sad! I remember when they had the HUGE site just for Sonic. and don't get me started on Knuckles*is a Knux fan*. Wonderful job RandomDCE. *claps*

  • i think your right about people moaning about it i personaly like Ryan but we wont get him back so i don't bother i do like some 4kids vocies like dan green as for SEGA i love and will always love SEGA as i personaly think there the best but hey thats just me

  • another good sonic acter is Martin Burke

  • screaming, whining and bitching is what ever sonic fanboy does.

  • ryan drummond rules as sonic and everyone knows and you suck

  • to tell the truth, i don't give a crap who voices sonic. as long as their games are fun to play and sonic sounds alright, i don't give a crap. oh and people who are starting this voice actor whining crap, GET THE HELL OVER IT IT'S ONLY A FREAKING VOICE!

  • Griffith is great for voicing shadow but not Sonic.

    Drummond makes him sound badass.

  • Heh. Too bad Sonic Unleashed was only good when it wasn't in the Werehog sequences.

  • Voice actors, wherehogs, guns, genies, swords, Sonic Nextgen, a shitty team system like in Sonic Heroes, and a mediocre crossover that was supposed to be epic, and sega's still not getting rid of me as a Sonic fan. Unleashed was great, and Black Knight is pretty good.

  • Eff off. Ryan's dialogue in SA1 was memorable and SPOCIOUS. You fail, you british son of a...

  • You're an ass

  • SPOCIOUS?

    SPARTACUS!

    :P

  • is that griffith!! anyway he sounds older ryan younger!

  • i prefer Jaleel white over both of the actor

  • LOL. Yeah, Jaleel White was awesome.

  • if only he voiced shadow it would be funny

  • Hellz no. I hate Jaleel White's voice for Sonic. XD

  • Yes. Jaleel White is awesome. I liked Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, despite all of its epic cheesiness. I haven't seen much of Sonic SatAM, but it looks pretty cool for a video game cartoon.

  • satAM was great but it had a cliff hanger ending and robotnik's voice is Jim Cummings but he sounds more like the captain on the Dead Space animated movie

  • well said

  • AMEN MAN A-friggen-men!!!! So freaking annoying I swear. JUST GET OVER IT PPL!!!

  • I'D RATHER LISTEN TO THE GAMES IN JAPANESE!!!!!!!

    english is unbearable!!!!!!!

    i like how jason did shadow tho

  • I think that funimation should get the licence. with colene clinkenbeard as sonic and chris sabat as shadow

  • Jaleel White definitely did the best voice for Sonic. It was just way more expressive and cocky, like Sonic should be. It suited him perfectly. Drummond was okay as Sonic, but not perfect. Now I'll admit, Griffith is getting better. He was pretty good in Unleashed. But he still sucks pretty bad. Dan Green doesn't do a good Knuckles either. And Tails sounds like a girl because he's now voiced by a girl. I see a problem here.

    But you are right, DCE. Blaze's voice is awesome.

  • totally agree, I actually like both actors but the whole whining about actorchanges are kinda tragic.

  • dude, i totally agree with you. all these people argue about voice actors. it really gets on my nerves too how people argue for this topic. why does it matter who voices sonic? just play and enjoy the game. you dont play a game for voices, you play it for gamplay and if the people dont like it, they can just stop buying and playing them. why do people try to get ryan back? he already moved on and sega aint getting him back. its already happened, the choice is made. so stop whining for the voice.

  • Dan Green never did much of a good Knuckles voice i'll admit. But he is awesome as mephiles. Any other 4kids actor would have fucked up that role. only Dan Green can make 'Like a chicken comes from an egg' sound good! And silvers actor i think has potential, but hes not geting to use it because A) Silvers lines suck, B) Silvers character sucks, and C) The guy who plays silver who i forget the name of really dosn't try. And yes i accept Jason as the actor now. But if i could replace him i would.

  • What happened to the good old days where Sonic didn't have a voice?

  • That was just Sonic 1, 2 & CD I think, in AoStH Jaleel White voiced Sonic & was great. Sonic Adventure came out and Ryan did a great job as well. But then Griffith comes and fucks up the character. If they're not gonna get rid of 4Kids then the games might as well have no voices.
