  • I love Jason he is great! just because the SCRIPT makes him sound like that isn't the actors fault Jason is my fav.

  • You should be Sonic's new vooice if they fire Roger Craig Smith.

  • @sonicfan3346

    Thanks! :)

  • i am with u there. though, wat do u think the fanbase would do if we got sean schemmel to voice sonic and chris sabat as shadow?

  • don't worry, i actually wasn't getting worked up. i never got the point of that game. it never actually happened......btw, you seem to do a better sonic voice than smith ^^

  • @CloverTheHedgehog23

    Thank you!

    I can't stand Sonic's new voice actor, and would give anything at this point for Ryan Drummond to return. :P

  • dude, that princess line wasn't jason's fault. it was the blasted script writers' fault!!

  • @CloverTheHedgehog23

    It's just a video...I never thought people would get so worked up about it, sheesh.

  • By the way it's not the voices it's the games they're in.

    Sonic advenutre cast all voiced in the 1999-2004 Sonic games which are awesome old cast beat 4kids cast becuase they're in the great 3d era of sonic early modern days from the late 90s-early 2004.

    4kids are in most horrendously Crappy unplayable screwed up and Toilet made sonic games from 2005-2009 which are all idiotic sonic games which all have gimmicks. LOLZ!!! XD to 4kids suck the crap out of Toilets they'll never improve they failed

  • You got sonic personality right he's a cocky energetic hedgehog we all know and loved.

    You know That 4kids are in the most terrible crappy idiotic sonic games which created from 2005-2009.

    Old cast from Dreamcast era are in the Great Awesome Sonic games from

    1999 & 2000-2004.

    New 2010 sonic cast are in new Improvement sonic games of today Pitifully LOLZ!! XD.

  • HAHA you lose "I miss jason"

    Be careful what you ask for

  • Com on man. You make us sound stupid. Jason is better that Roger.

  • @UltraJakxstar

    Can't argue with that.

  • @SonicVSJasonGriffith Come ON. Jason is a trillion time better than Roger.

  • @UltraJakxstar

    Yeah, and I was agreeing with you when I said "can't argue with that". Jason's voice at least resembled Ryan's a good bit, while Roger makes Sonic sound like California surfer dude straight out of the 90's.

  • @SonicVSJasonGriffith Thats true.

  • @SonicVSJasonGriffith Thats true.

  • @SonicVSJasonGriffith

    To tell you the truth, I thought Jaleel White was the best voice for Sonic

  • @UltraJakxstar roger isn't bad, he just makes sonic sound older. i mean sonic is turning 20.. he's not supposed to sound like a teenager at the age of 20.

  • I HATE Roger. BRING JASON BAAAAAAAAAACK

  • Oh, I didn't have time to post this up on the last comment, but the reason why Sonic sounded so young in the beginning of Sonic X is because he (Jason Griffith) first tried out for Chris Thorndyke, but the directors wanted him to try out that voice for Sonic. So most likely he was using his "Chris" voice for Sonic in the show.

    Man, look up research on VA's before you start bashing them; I pity Jason who had to witness all this crap online.

  • Sonic: And three, Sonic the Hedgehog doesn't bash voice actors no matter how good or bad they sound!

    [Not that Jason Griffith was bad; in my opinion he was the best out of all the Sonic VA's even Urkel. Though this Roger Craig Smith (Ezio Aurditore da Firenze) guy doesn't seem that bad... I do have a least favorite I'm just not going to say it where everyone can see the comment. Why? Because it's insulting to the VA's who see /kids/ bashing on their /Sonic/ voice.]

  • Your the reason that Jason left.............. shame on you

  • @pikazomboe

    All I can say is the new guy sucks and for once I actually kind of miss Jason..

  • @SonicVSJasonGriffith dude, you seriously are one smart guy for putting ths up, like how you even got the sonic voice accent done correctly. even roger doesnt sound as idiotic as jason, he does what jason doesnt.

  • @SonicVSJasonGriffith Did you voice sonic in this video, you should be the new voice actor. haha

  • @LighttheULTIMATE

    Thanks! But I've gotta say, just about anyone can sound like Sonic.....better than Roger Craig Smith, that is.

  • @SonicVSJasonGriffith You,Ryan,Jaleal & Roger got Sonic's True Character Right a Cocky hyperactive,energetic Teenager and a hedgehog with attitude.

    Jason made sonic an Annoying Passive,Soft Hearted, Preschool Character & a 5 year old that doesn't match his character at all.

  • Is that where Endless Possibilities came from?

  • @SegaNintendoGamer

    No, as far as I can tell Endless Possibilities is from Sonic Unleashed was performed by a different band.

  • @SonicVSJasonGriffith i mean the whole princess thing... -_-'

  • @SegaNintendoGamer

    Ooohhhh....

    My bad. :P

  • @SonicVSJasonGriffith it's ok, i really was just putting a point. i really dont care what other people think (usually) but ur awesome so i needed to respond

  • i like this voice this is giving sonic a good attitude! :) if roger ever got fired u get who eevr did sonic in this vid and name him be sonic

  • "Listen up, 'cuz I'm not gonna repeat myself" Oh, yeah? I can MAKE you repeat yourself! *restarts the video*

  • @74SonicMario

    Touché!

  • ...I want Jason back!!!! Ryan and Jason sounded similar enough that I didn't notice the differance at first, but Roger's voice sticks out like a sore thumb in Sonic Colors. (The other's don't sound to bad though, Tails sounds WAY better than he did in Heroes.)

  • Holy...I have to say, I thought Ryan had done some interview joke and you put a video to it! Great Sonic voice!

  • @Arc13

    Wow, thanks! As you can imagine, Mr. Drummond is sort of a hero of mine, so it means a lot to hear that my Sonic impression sounds close to his. :)

  • This is the greatest thing on the internet

  • Well, on that first point, Jason can't help if SEGA's script made him empathize with a teenage princess. XD But yes, I prefer Ryan as well. Jason got a bit better in the most recent Sonic games, but his problem of making everything sound like a question still annoys me. *thinks of SSBB's cake line* >.< Here's hoping the next VA is all right.

    You have an excellent Sonic voice; one of the best I've heard. I would love it if you would voice Sonic in any future shorts I animate.

  • @KitsuneAlchemist

    Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Not only for the flattery (which I probably don't deserve considering how many thumbs down this video has), but for offering me the chance to voice Sonic in any future shorts you might make. :)

  • @SonicVSJasonGriffith You're welcome. And thank you for your offer! I look forward to working with you.

    I don't think the thumbs downs have anything to do with your Sonic voice. I think it has to do with the Griffith-bashing in the video. There are a lot of people who like Griffith's Sonic voice (believe it or not XD), and they probably got miffed.

  • @KitsuneAlchemist

    The funny thing is, believe it or not, I really didn't intend the video to be seen as me bashing Jason Griffith. :P I just thought it would be funny if I made a video where Sonic himself weighs in on the Ryan vs. Jason debate (which is kind of a moot point now, heh..). Though in retrospect, a lot of the jokes were pretty mean-spirited. Then again, once Sonic Colors is released I may "address" Roger Craig Smith as well. XD

  • @SonicVSJasonGriffith I can see that better now, as I watch the video again.

    I love that idea of having Sonic's opinion on the Ryan-Jason debate, moot point or not. XD

    "Sonic the Hedgehog doesn't ask questions: he gives ANSWERS." was probably my favorite line. That and the bit about Amy beating up fake hedgehogs. XD

    I would love to see Sonic address Roger Craig Smith next. With what I've heard of his Sonic so far, I don't think Sonic'll be too happy... LOL

  • Nice job there. :) your voice is nearly identical to Ryan's

  • Ryan sounds like a nasally bitch.

  • i kinda like sonic in the 3-D buldgy way. LOL send amy after you XDDDDD

  • :D! please please please pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssss­sssse be my voice actor!!!!

  • You sound constipated.

    Other than that, you would be an EPIC voice actor for Sonic! :D

  • is ryan voice acting in this?

  • @TAmyRosy

    Nope. Just me, I'm afraid.

  • @SonicVSJasonGriffith

    oh,that's cool. you sound like him, very nice video well done. :)

  • @TAmyRosy

    Thanks! XD

  • @SonicVSJasonGriffith ur a good voice for sonic

  • Yeah, agreed. You do a better job than Griffith or Smith (based on what I've heard of him).

  • The voice of Deidara is now playing Sonic. Roger Craig Smith is best know for his roles in Resident Evil 5 as Chris Redfield and Assassin's Creed 2 as Eizo Auditore da Firenze.

  • jason is good now and the rest of the cast. i think they r better than the original cast who were never that good

  • Thank god their changeing his voice

  • You should be a voice actor!!

  • @faridkillerjr

    Yeah. I was thinking about making a video about that soon..

  • Woah! You are really suited for the part of Sonic! Sega should be considering you for Sonic's voice acting!

    Jason Griffith is kinda Okay at being Sonic...but...there are better Voice Actors...

    although, I think he is getting better at his Job now...

  • @Chary5325

    Thanks!

  • Sonic the Hedgehog doesn't ask questions, he gives answers!

    LOL BEST SONIC LINE EVER XD

  • I did think Jason did pretty well in Unleashed, but he still have VERY corny moments.

  • I think Jason CAN be good AT TIMES, but Ryan was always perfect.

  • Gosh relax at least he even has a voice!

  • Anyone who thinks Jason has a good Sonic Voice DOESNT KNOW THE CHARACTER.

    Sonic is not supposed to sound slow.

    Seriously people

  • F*CK

    YES!

  • Decent voice acting ! Suits Sonic very well xD.

    I hope Jason will finally reconise that he isn't the right for this job >___>.

  • Nothing to do with the video, but I think you're pretty good yourself. Have you ever thought of doing Sonic SatAM abridged. I think you PWN Jaleel White just to tell you. As for Ryan and Jason I really don't care as long as the gameplay is good.

  • @MrPunchDrunk1

    Thanks! I don't think I have the video editing skills needed to make an "abridged" version of SatAM, but I'd love to try! Thing is, while I could try to voice the other male characters by myself, I'd hit a brick wall when it comes to Sally, Nicole, Bunny, et al, since I don't know any voice actresses. :(

    But I'm always hoping some Sonic fan in need a Sonic voice for a game/movie project will see this movie and drop me a line!

  • @MrPunchDrunk1

    By the way, aren't you the same guy who called me a loser and told me to get a life? And now you're complimenting my voice acting? What happened to taking this video way too seriously, bro?

  • @MrPunchDrunk1

    By the way, aren't you the same guy who called me a loser and told me to get a life? And now you're complimenting my voice acting? What happened to taking this video way too seriously, bro?

  • @SonicVSJasonGriffith I had a change of thought.

  • @MrPunchDrunk1

    I'm glad you did. :)

    Your last few comments have made me actually consider whether or not I can make a SatAM abridged. At the very least, I'd like to do some sort of project with SatAM Sonic. Maybe SatAM Sonic vs. Ryan Drummond? :)

  • The only time in the more recent games (06 isn't exactly 'recent' anymore) that I thought Griffith could have done better is when he said "If you'd play nice, I wouldn't have to break all of your toys." Sonic's Japanese voice actor had much more emotion in that line than Griffith. Other than that he's been pretty great in my opinion.

  • lol you know u would make a good voice actor for Sonic :3

  • @XxsonicownsmarioxX

    Aww, thanks! :)

    Voice acting for Sonic would be a dream come  true, but I don't think I could stand to move to LA (where Sega of America is, I think).

  • @SonicVSJasonGriffith Isn't it in San Francisco? I've seen a large building with SEGA on it while on the freeway, I read that San Francisco was the inspiration for City Escape in Sonic adventure 2, and the adress listed on Shadow the Hedgehog says San Francisco.

  • @Axadn

    You got me one that one. SOA is in San Francisco. BUT 4Kids, who actually handles all of the voice acting in Sonic games these days, in the New York, and Ryan Drummond would have to move. He was actually willing to move his entire family to New York, but 4Kids thought it would be too much of a hassle and decided to use Griffith instead, who already worked for them.

  • jason got owned

  • lol.

    he went in.

  • nice video. your an ok voice of sonic. better the Griffith. that's for sure.

  • THANK YOU! awesome video. and yeah, ryan is still trying everything to get back to being sonic's voice actor. I don't know if it's true, but it's still rumored that he actually is reappearing in sonic 4. Personally, I think jason is ok... but no one can beat Ryan's voice... well, you do pretty damn good as well. Kikosho is right. You should take over if ryan still can't come back.

  • Is it wrong to say that I actually like Jason? Besides, Sonic is just cool altogether, so the whole voice acting thing doesnt seem like something to get all worked up about... It all just seems so silly.

    Im just speaking my mind.. Sorry to those who think otherwise.

  • also he does vo's in pokemon and yu-gi-oh he is good there

  • jason is getting better ive gotta say

  • also a character really cant be mute a game would be weird i know issac clarke didnt talk in dead space but he is gonna talk in 2

  • sorry i got mad buddy but i really didnt hear this so i dont know if its true or not

  • Comment removed

  • @cb19882000

    Uh...shut the fuck up about what? You're on MY video page. How about you shut up instead of mindlessly cursing at me for no apparent reason at all?

  • -sighs- i wish ryan drummond was back jason griffthi has no emotion and sounds like someone thats in-hailed to much hellium lol

  • for gods sake guys ryan isnt coming back he has given up voice acting all together and he's a full time father

  • That's not exactly true. As recently as late 2008 he was saying he wanted to return to voicing Sonic.

  • SPAX3 Sucks dick

  • Who?

  • @SonicVSJasonGriffith

    SPAX3?! He's an idiot. Trust me...

    Just don't give a shit about him, you'll be fine, he simply gives Sonic fans a bad name...

  • Amy probably mistook Jason for Sonic one time. She does that.

  • Yeah. Amy mistakes everyone for Sonic these days. :P

  • i thought it was his actual voice at first but i'm not going to say much but people complain about the voice work and the lines the voice actor says but remember they don't make the script sega sonic team AND 4 kids make the scripts

  • I'm gonna say, that's a pretty good Sonic voice you got there. But since 2006 next gen, you have to admit Griffith is getting better. He has upped his game, really. See, I like both Jason AND Ryan. They're both good at Sonic's voice. But if you get the spare time, give Sega a call and show them what you can do.

  • That was one of most constructive, level-headed comments I've gotten for this video. Thanks!

  • @TheChildofaura despite my earlier comment, I agree griffith has gotten better. I think the best quote griffith has done that matches Ryan's voice is "Sonic's My name, Speeds my game". Every time I hear that one I think of ryan. the one quote that he STILL can't do, though, is "Too easy, piece of cake" Ryan just said it in a far cooler way. Another is the "Yaho!" and "Yes!" and "Yeeaaah!" quotes. Jason just sounds childish, while Ryan, again, sounds cooler. that's just my opinion though.

  • That is kind of true.

    but what if Jason had first started voice acting Sonic, then he was replaced by Ryan? Everyone would be ticked off about Jason being replaced. In truth and reality, it's just that people are so comfortable hearing the original voice of Sonic, that they think first is better.

  • @TheChildofaura to tell the truth I never really thought of that, and you are indeed correct. It all depends on who you're used to. It's the same for a few years from now. If Ryan never comes back, then children will start playing Sonic games with Jason's voice, then, as they progress through the series, they'll head back to the classics and say "Who's this new voice? I don't like him." The truth of this video, however, is that people still want Ryan, not jason. Majority rules to state it simply

  • That is very true. But if you think about it, not even Ryan was Sonic's original voice. There was the old Sonic Cartoon, remember that? (That was awesome, better than Sonic X) and I believe that the actor who played Steve Urkel in Family Matters was Sonic. But yes, Ryan is the more popular voice actor, but I wish people wouldn't HATE Griffith. Jason has done many other roles besides Sonic and Shadow, like Pokemon and Yu Gi Oh, and he's pretty well fit for those roles, like Sir Aaron and Marcus.

  • @TheChildofaura

    For the record, I don't hate Jason Griffith at all. He's a fine voice actor.

    But when it comes to an American voice actor voicing Sonic, don't you think he should sound at least a little more like Sonic's official voice in Japan? Drummond sounds a lot more like Kanemaru Junichi, as shown in this video: watch?v=1yjK4f36N6Y

  • He's NOT THAT BAD!

  • What song is this Called?

  • It's called "Into the Wind". It was made by a band called "Sons of Angels", which was what Crush 40 called themselves before they made the music for Sonic Adventure. It was written for the NASCAR Arcade soundtrack, but it sounds so much like a Sonic Adventure song that I decided to use it here. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked the video! XD

  • Dude thanks for this video. You should make your voice known.

    You are the voice of reason!!

    Thankyou SonicVSJasonGriffith for making my day.

  • Why don't YOU do his voice? You're better than Ryan Drummond.

    I seriously don't care, and I've had no problems with Griffith, but maybe you could shut everyone up. Or cause more of an uproar because you're not Ryan Drummond.

  • ......jason has nothing to do with the scripts lol. blame sega

  • Is this you doing Sonic's voice? I think you did a great job. =D

  • Yup. Thanks! =)

  • the cutscene from sonic next gen

  • but im immune of the cutscene of scar

  • omg the cutscene that is said that will scar you for life at 0:30

  • You can make anyone look bad using your technique, what if I made a video showing Drummond's early work. "Oh yeah, this is happenin'"

  • According to IMDB, Griffith's first acting role was in 1998. That's a full seven years before he first voiced Sonic--plenty of time to learn how to not deliver awkward lines line "I can do a lot of things". It's not like he's gotten that much better, even, because I've seen several videos making fun of his voice work in Smash Brothers Brawl. And Drummond's early work? If you're referring to SA, well...I didn't hear many Sonic fans complaining then, and I don't hear any now.

  • The reason it took so long for him to get better as Sonic is because he is still stuck with the worst dubbing company; 4kids. Jason was better in Unleashed than he was in Brawl.

    Ryan wasn't that geat in SA1. The reason there is almost no complaing is because Ryan was kind of above meh in that game.

  • Girffith didn't start Sonic untilSonic X started, giving him no time to not deliver awkward lines like "I can do a lot of things", but got gradually better over time, to deliver great lines like "It was never about chivalry for me" and "Do I need a reason to help out a friend".

    If you haven't heard people complain about Sonic Adventure, you haven't looked hard.

  • woooow you sounded almost like yan drummond there! that was awesome!!!

    btw sonic's got a great point XD

  • i like both voice actors but i understand both sides. Ryan's side thinks that Jason sucks eggs. Jason's side thinks that he does AWSOME. My side is that i enjoy both they each give sonic a different personaly or hedgeonaly but bombing one and not comparing ether isn't right. Sure Jason made Sonic's laugh sound retarded but have we ever had Sonic laugh in a game before i don't think so. Ryan made Sonic's voice a little high at times like in Sonic Heros btw 1:32 u changed the pitch of sonics voice

  • I appreciate the comment, but the scary truth is that 1:32 I really did not alter the pitch of Sonic's voice. Really, you can look up the clip on Youtube for yourself, Jason really did do that terrible...at first. He's gotten a lot better, but his voice is closer to Ryan's in Sonic Heroes, which I think most people find was inferior to his work in SA and SA2.

  • Wow. That's really too kind! Thank you very, very much. :)

  • Because its the scar that will always remain, from GRIFFTHS earlier recordings. Drummond is still so much better we are all hopeing for his return in Project Needlemouse

  • I don't hear much of a difference between his voice in Sonic Unleashed and his voice in Sonic '06. Then again, some people can't even tell the difference between his voice and Ryan Drummond's, so go figure.

  • I disagree. Plenty of people care. and people can tell the difference in voices and not just Sonics voice but other voices too.

  • Man. Your voice as sonic really pwns! He sounds more cocky and macho, the way he is susposed to sound. Not gentle and soft. Sonic has an attitude therefore he should sound like he has one.

  • Nice job man. U do kinda sound like ryan drummond. I kind wish u were sonic's new voice instead of jason. oh another thing do u take video request. If u do, can u do shadow. I want it to be about david humphery vs griffith. thanks man u rock.

  • spindash him and then take his job

  • I don't hate Jason Griffith as Sonic. In fact, I'm glad he's Sonic. Yea I didn't like him in Sonic next gen and Sonic Riders but in the more recent games after that, he's really good but as for you. I gotta admit that you sound amazing as Sonic. If Jason gets fired or resigns for any reason, u should take over.

  • Thanks for the kind comments! As for taking over Jason's job, well...that'd mean I'd have to work for 4Kids! *shudders* I'd rather picture a future where Sega of America is in charge of the voice acting again, and not a children's animé licensee like 4Kids. No offense if you're a fan of 4Kids, of course. :)

  • I'm no of 4kids. I'm a fan of most of their Sonic actors. I've seen 4kids dubbed shows and they lack serious effort for the most part. I know voicing in a video game takes more work, more time, and is more serious than voicing a children's anime which is why I like actors like Jason Griffith and Dan Green now because I think they prooved they take their job more seriously now than before and when doing Sonic X. If u worked for 4kids, maybe u could show them how voice acting really should be LOL

  • @kikosho2002  Too late. :P

  • @GThing64 What are you talking about?

  • @kikosho2002 There's already a new voice actor. :P

  • @GThing64 You do realize that my comment I said to him was posted almost a year ago. I'm aware that there's a new actor now.

  • @kikosho2002 I know. It was the whole point of the joke.

  • @GThing64 Yeeeeeeeaah...Okay well that's not really funny. Anyways now that we're clear Sonic has a new actor, let us move on from this.

  • be the new sonic and you win the place as "VA God". no srsly, you sound like Ryan Drummond! just kill griffith and beat some sense into 4kids/teh debil.

  • Thanks, man! I'm not someone who has a lot of confidence in my voice acting ability. Frankly, I get nervous when I attempt to peform character voices, even when I'm in a room recording by myself! However, it's feedback like yours that makes all the difference and encourages me to keep on practicing and work on new video ideas. So from the bottom of my heart, to all of you who said I sound like Ryan Drummond: THANK YOU, there is no greater compliment than to be compared to a real pro!

  • You sound like to Ryan Drummond.

  • Please take his job!!!!!!

  • jason griffith haters i have a anouncment for all i think i know why they took it out cuz of there copyright thing with sega they haven't included the song in the whole copyright thing that's why and comming soon: project shadow - showdown in space will be remade as a sprite movie this time with.... no 4kids voices instead speakonia voices or youtubers voices for exhample ravencrow89 as knuckles and last but the best.... live and learn is going to be in it so if you like the song sub to me NOW

  • Oh. Very nice. I love your voice. I'd replace Jason with you any day.

  • I wasn't being sarcastic, Sonic. Some people (Unlike me) Just don't believe you're calling out a Voice actor. I believe you can do it! Show him who's the REAL Sonic the Hedgehog!

  • You mean "It sounds like being a princess isn't that easy" was about Jason doing a better job?

    Uh....sure!

    Rriiiighht....(slowly backs away from you)

  • eheh... sorry bout that...

  • No prob!

  • take out the faker and bring ryan drummond back!!!!!!!!!!!

    i heard that he will atempt to get the voice of sonic back and im no tsure if it's a rumor or the truth lets hope it's the truth

  • i mAKe moAR mOnEY thAN yoU dO!

  • Well know how to spell better than you, and I run faster than you! I win.

  • XD lol

  • Up your game, or I'll send Amy after you LOL

  • Comment removed

  • You....you went to the beach and didn't invite me? *pouts*

  • Go away, Amy..

  • NEVER! :D

  • How'd you make this?

  • Awesome! :D
