Definitely. Jason and Roger are iconic, but Ryan felt completely balanced. Would’ve loved to hear him shine more in the role in the last few Dreamcast Era games that the 4Kids cast took over for, like Shadow The Hedgehog and Sonic Riders.
I always loved roger craig smith’s sonic because it kind of showed how sonic was an adult now. He’s grown more mature and serious while still maintaining playfulness and good banter. The deep voice fits the look of modern sonic imo
@@KrushinKay sonic grows up, you know? he was 15 in sonic heroes. god knows how old he is now. I doubt they would release a statement in 2024 saying he's still 15
Its a shame that you didn't mention the time that Jason Griffifth literally passed out from voicing Sonic. Context: In Sonic: Unleashed, Jason was tasked in having to voice the iconic Werehog defeat-soundeffect, which was done under such poor circumstance, that the man after yelling his heart out, nearly passed out in the soundbooth.
Ryan is perfection man. It says a lot that despite growing up mainly in the Jason era, his voice specifically is what Sonic generally moreso sounded to me as a kid. SA1, SA2 and Heroes are pretty much INTEGRAL games in the franchise, about as integral as the original 2D trilogy. Ryan may not have had the more modern hype moments that Jason did, but it says a lot that I watch Nazo Unleashed as a kid and still felt like his Sonic was the best ever.
@@Boostifer love those thoughts! it was honestly super fun to research all of the voices and see the different eras. Ryan made such a huge impact on Sonic’s character, and I totally agree that it was integral to the franchise
While I definitely miss him as Sonic’s voice now, I remember being so disappointed when Ryan moved on. It felt like such a downgrade at the time that I never appreciated him.
@@andyfelterbush1719Isn't it weird that modern Sonic voices always leave after their best work? Ryan had a rough start in Adventure 1 but he sounded pretty good in Adventure 2 and heroes. Jason was insufferable at the start of X , super detached in 06 and braindead in ShTH , but man he was incredible at Unleashed and Black Knight, only to be replaced right after. And Roger, well, one could say we haven't had his best performance yet. Arguably he got something going for in Boom
Jaleel's work as Sonic was amazing, I grew up in the late 2000s to early 2010s but I'd always watch Sonic Underground and throw on my DVD copy of Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog, good times.
Jaleel will always be the best IMO, by *far.* The range he had with that voice, which in itself was already impressive, is just crazy. It just fit too perfectly. I wish he coulda got the opportunity to try his hand at some video game voicework.
Jason voices sonic perfectly and in his games sonic shines truly acting like how sonic should, if you’ve seen black knight and secret rings you’d understand
Ryan Drummond will always be the true Sonic to me, his voice sounded perfect in Sonic Adventure 2 and his line deliveries were spot-on in Sonic Heroes. He sounded completely balanced. That said, Ben Schwartz, Jason Griffith, and Deven Mack are also fantastic imo. Ben fits great for Movie Sonic and is really underrated and Jason sounded great in Sonic Unleashed as well as Sonic and the Black Knight, and Deven sounds great but seemed to be held back by lackluster writing. Tbh I think all of Sonic’s Modern voices are remarkable, great in their own ways, and had their moments, so I’m fine with whoever voices Sonic now.
Jason will always be my favorite, but ryan is also a really close second. On Roger's hand, i think his voice in the boom series was the best its ever been, and i want that voice direction in the games too
Great video! Small correction about Roger's Sonic. Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games was actually the first installment in that series to adopt the 2010s/Studiopolis voice cast where we hear Roger's portrayal as Sonic. Jason's Sonic voice (and the 4Kids-era cast) was still used in the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.
Great job on the video. Jason Griffith is Sonic I grew up with, Ryan was pretty likeable too. SATAM Sonic voice matches of it's youthness to character. You know what's pretty awesome? Three Sonics voice actors (Jason, Ryan and Mack) were good bubbies!
Every sonic game I've played: Sonic 1(genisis mini and mobile) Sonic 2(genisis mini and mobile) Sonic 3(friend's pc) Sonic and Knuckles(genisis mini) Sonic CD(mobile) Sonic Adventure(ps4) Sonic R(ps4) Mean Bean Machine(genisis mini) Sonic The Fighters(ps4) Sonic Advance 2(pc) Sonic Generations(ps4) Sonic Mania(ps4 and ps5) Sonic Forces(nintendo switch) Sonic Frontiers(ps4 and ps5)
@SuperSonicWarrior93 yea I know how u feel but I wouldn't mind seeing Jason come back, he had some of the most iconic sonic lines and it's not "BALDY MCNOSEHAIR"
8:39 I don’t recall this line from Sonic X, where Jason Griffith’s Sonic originated from, but it sounds like he was trying to emulate Jaleel White when he was starting out.
I remember being very happy finding out Rodger would no longer be voicing sonic but then he jus got hired again and now sonic will forever sound like someone talking to a baby
Jason’s still my personal favorite, but I got to admit, Roger REALLY proved how versatile he could be as Game Sonic in Frontiers. (He was the perfect fit for Boom Sonic, but he was super comedic compared to what Sonic had been in the past). That being said, I don’t think Sonic has ever had a bad VA in the mainline games. Ryan, Jason, and Roger all have done a fantastic job with the character. And most of the secondary media has thrived as well. Jaleel really brought the attitude of 90s Classic Sonic, Devon Mack brought his own spin, but sounded enough like the Game 3 to still be recognizable as Sonic, Ben Schwartz’s voice is perfect for the younger, less experienced Sonic we meet in the movies. And even though it’s nasily, Martin Burke does have a certain charm as OVA Sonic that makes him seem like a young, somewhat experienced adventurer who is confident in his abilities. All in all, Sonic has been blessed with some pretty awesome vocal performances by various good voice actors.
Ryan reprised his Sonic-voice for the ~1hour audio drama "Sonic & Tails R". At the end he truly shows why he is the equivalent of the Japanese Sonic voice actor.
Good video! My favorite sonic voices are a tie between ben Schwarts (movie) or roger crsig smith. I will say i think Smiths performance in sonic frontiers was probably the riskiest move sonic team has taken regarding sonics voice. That being said frontiers itself was just a massive gamble
I agree with this completely. ... lol Also Ryan is my favorite Sonic. But Jaleel White is also really great. It's just he's associated with a specifically different Sonic. But sometimes, there are aspects of the voice and portrayal that I think would be cool in modern Sonic. Actually, funny enough, when Jason Griffith first started, he sounded a lot closer to Ryan than later on, but the clip you used also was an example of him sounding a bit like Jaleel White as he was more playful and trollish in that episode which I really enjoyed. It doesn't line up with what a lot of people say, even Griffith fans... but I actually find his portrayal in episode 1 to be my favorite Jason Griffith portrayal of Sonic. It was so cool. I ALSO really like Roger Craig Smith as I do hear similarities to Jason in select few lines and can see why they'd choose him after Jason. He has that Sonic sound even if it's new. I like his voice best in Sonic Generations and, oddly, in the LEGO collab commercials. See the one where he asks the Narrator "But can it go REEEAAALLY really fast??". It's the actually the most "Sonic" I ever heard him sound. He also does great in OK KO Let's Be Heroes in his feature episode. I like Ben Schwartz more as time goes on especially in Sonic Movie 2. And Deven Mack I really liked the voice. I just didn't care for the portrayal. I think it's wild he sounds similar to Ryan, Jason and Roger all at the same time and leans towards different ones depending on the tone and situations.
yeah generations was one of rogers best performances. Since sonic will appear in sonic x shadow generations in shadows story. I hope they actually try to voice match that performance and dont just "frontier it".
I like there are people who like him but roger's sonic voice can either be fine or amazing like generations and boom, annoying and too nasally like lost world and forces or just weirdly sounding like he's bored like in frontiers
It's not official SEGA material, but if you'd like to hear Ryan Drummond's Sonic voice without the limitations of technology and the odd late 90s voice direction you could try listening to Sonic & Tails R. Ryan Drummond voices Sonic in that, and he's pretty great.
I'm really torn on which is my favorite. While Jason is the voice I heard throughout my childhood, Roger's voice just feels correct for the modern version of Sonic. He makes Sonic sound like he's finally grown up and out of the edgy 90s vibe. I feel like all of the main game voice actors capture the vibe Sonic was aiming for at the time.
11:02 I personally disagree. There’s actually more scenes of Deven as Sonic sounding emotional then not. The scene when he talks to Thorn, when he finds out his friends and world are gone, whenever he gets angry or sad throughout the show too. You just have to pay attention to it. My personal favorite is in S3 ep3 when he tries to reason with Nine. It’s honestly the most raw emotions you’d hear from Sonic that rivals even the movies in some aspects.
Actual Sonic fan here. You can have so much fun with the werehog by doing sick combos and cool skips with the sho-hog-ken. You can take advantage with 06’s glitches and make them fun. I have no excuse for chronicles and boom. Btw we stopped complaining since frontiers released.
Sonic's voice was perfect from Heroes to Unleashed (and Shadow's as well). The best actor overall is Jason Griffith (with the exception of Ryan Drummond for Sonic Heroes and David Humphrey for Shadow also in Heroes).
I love roger's Sonic voice, but due to Sonic Boom, colors, and Forces, I cant take sonic seriously. Well that was until I started playing Sonic Frontiers.
Actually, I’m pretty sure Julie White wasn’t even the first sonic voice actor if we go back to 1992 sonic 2 one of the commercials has sonic talking with a different voice actor unknown with same tails too
I partially kind of see the singer of crush 40 Johnny, since a lot of the lyrics sound like things Sonic would actually say plus he ends up sounding what Ryan drummin singing hard rock so i think you could stretch it.
I think Drummond is great and all, but I wouldn't call him consistent. SA1, SA2, and Heroes Sonic all sound different enough that if you played me a voiceline from any of the three, I'd be able to identify which game it's from. Simply put, he's a lot calmer and grounded in SA1 than in Heroes.
Which Sonic is your favorite?
Do luigi next
sonic ova and jason griffith ❤
The one true king, Junichi Kanemaru. To me he IS Sonic, eveyone else takes something from him
Toshio Furukawa
(please research before response lol)
Roger
Ryan is the greatest, he was just held back and never reached his full potential. He is the living version of Sonic to me.
Facts. Which is why he deserves a second chance to voice Sonic in the games again. Especially for a potential Sonic Adventure 3.
Definitely. Jason and Roger are iconic, but Ryan felt completely balanced. Would’ve loved to hear him shine more in the role in the last few Dreamcast Era games that the 4Kids cast took over for, like Shadow The Hedgehog and Sonic Riders.
Rodger ups the greatest imo
No, it’s Urkel sonic
I do his voice
I always loved roger craig smith’s sonic because it kind of showed how sonic was an adult now. He’s grown more mature and serious while still maintaining playfulness and good banter. The deep voice fits the look of modern sonic imo
Here we goooooooo.
That's frontiers sonic, all the other sonics that roger has voiced just sound annoying except generations and boom
Side note: Isn't sonic supposed to ne 15? Why is he made to sound like a23 year old in frontiers plus the voice just sounds like he's bored
@@KrushinKay yeah colours he had bad voice direction and lost world was just mid
@@KrushinKay sonic grows up, you know? he was 15 in sonic heroes. god knows how old he is now. I doubt they would release a statement in 2024 saying he's still 15

@@mickerrific do Japanese voices next
@@orangecoolcatever I would, but I honestly don’t know enough Japanese for it to be worthwhile lol

@@Chibiknux 💯 very astute, top tier observation
NO ONE WILL BEAT BEN ROGER OR JASON
To be honest, Sonic's voice in that commercial looks like a mixture of donald duck and sonic's schoolhouse sonic voice
Really? He sounded like he was some dark familiar, who wanted to make a deal for my soul.
I always felt Jaleel did a great job, I think if he was given a better script he would be damn near perfect.
100 percent! His sonic is a product of its time, but it could translate super well with a modern take
Jaleel's work as Sonic was amazing, I grew up in the late 2000s to early 2010s but I'd always watch Sonic Underground and throw on my DVD copy of Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog, good times.
Jason and Ryan are peak honestly.

What about Jaleel white ?
@@minooz5638 Personally, I think he's decent
3:00 The one who played this Sonic maybe unknown, but it sounds like Cree Summer doing an impression of Jaleel White’s Sonic.
Jaleel will always be the best IMO, by *far.*
The range he had with that voice, which in itself was already impressive, is just crazy. It just fit too perfectly. I wish he coulda got the opportunity to try his hand at some video game voicework.

Fr rogers been sonic for way too long
Idk . Wouldn't that cause fans to complain like they did when Jason replaced Ryan ?
Yeah, when Roger retires or stops playing the role as Sonic, Deven would be SUCH a great replacement.
I think he did alright as a voice for that show but guys his voice just wouldn't fit the games at all
While Millennials had Jaleel or Ryan, we Zillennials had Jason as our childhood Sonic.

For the longest time Jason's sonic was my favourite out of the main game voice actors but now i cant decide.
Jaheel and the Sonic cd actor (I forgot how to spell his name) are my favorite
Honestly, i think Griffiths the best, with Rogers and Bens being very close contenders. Only bad thing about Rogers Sonic voice is the bad writing.
My favorite is Roger

He makes Sonic sound like he's finally grown up and out of the edgy 90s vibe. I feel like all of the main game voice actors capture the vibe Sonic was aiming for at the time.
Up, over, and gone
Jason Griffith. That Sonic has always been my favorite. I hope Sonic gets another cool anime someday.
Roger doesn't get enough love,bro was my sonic
11:02 I personally disagree.
There’s actually more scenes of Deven as Sonic sounding emotional then not.
The scene when he talks to Thorn, when he finds out his friends and world are gone, whenever he gets angry or sad throughout the show too. You just have to pay attention to it.
My personal favorite is in S3 ep3 when he tries to reason with Nine. It’s honestly the most raw emotions you’d hear from Sonic that rivals even the movies in some aspects.
Fr Deven Mack is way too underrated he’s probably my favourite sonic voice when it comes to emotional scenes
No one gives Jaleel enough credit. He made sonic swag asf
I had no idea Sam Vincent used to play Sonic the Hedgehog (even if it was a brief gig)
Actual Sonic fan here. You can have so much fun with the werehog by doing sick combos and cool skips with the sho-hog-ken. You can take advantage with 06’s glitches and make them fun. I have no excuse for chronicles and boom. Btw we stopped complaining since frontiers released.
Yeah not saying those games are bad, just that they aren’t perfect. And the complaining thing was a joke :)

@@joshuawhitty I see 2010’s RUclips is still affecting people today

I like Masato voicing sonic I LOVE Sonic CD
6:28
"Sonic has a daughter"
Now i know why Sonic rejects Amy now 🗿
I feel Sonic’s voice is Sonic.
(Sonic made of Sonic)
2:14 - SA-
Jason is my goat mainly because he brought out the maturity from Sonic’s adventures
Jaheel White may be the unofficial first voice for Sonic, bur Jason Griffith and Ryan whatever his last name is will always be the best.
Sonic's voice was perfect from Heroes to Unleashed (and Shadow's as well). The best actor overall is Jason Griffith (with the exception of Ryan Drummond for Sonic Heroes and David Humphrey for Shadow also in Heroes).
Crazy how the guy that played Steve Urkel voices the first Sonic tv shows!!
Ryan Drummond and Jr. are my favorites!
My favourite voice for Sonic was Olivier Korol, who dubbed it in the French version of most medias back in the day.
0:59 Did he do that?
Yes, he did that.
I love roger's Sonic voice, but due to Sonic Boom, colors, and Forces, I cant take sonic seriously. Well that was until I started playing Sonic Frontiers.
So sonic started as a black boy. Noice
Lol
I think it would’ve been awesome if Jaleel White voiced classic sonic in generations but only talked at the end of the game
Chill, roomie! You can have another ✨️helpi-i-ing...✨️
rogers still voicing sonic to this day
Jason and Roger were the sonic i grew up with
You forgot about Sega Sonic Cosmo Fighter English voice
Oooh. Didn’t find that one during my research 😆 sonic sounds like a space cadet in that game! Crazy
Lol yeah bro sounds like buzz
I like Ryan and Jason.
"That is NOT Roger Craig Smith"🤣
Actually, I’m pretty sure Julie White wasn’t even the first sonic voice actor if we go back to 1992 sonic 2 one of the commercials has sonic talking with a different voice actor unknown with same tails too
Deven is great
I grew up with Roger Craig Smith, Jaleel White, and Jason Griffiths. I heard Jason’s in the Sonic Unleashed game which I like.
May I ask would you say sonic (2010 onward) and spongebob are similar voices placement wise both larynx and air resonance?
I partially kind of see the singer of crush 40 Johnny, since a lot of the lyrics sound like things Sonic would actually say plus he ends up sounding what Ryan drummin singing hard rock so i think you could stretch it.
My favorite sonic is probably Martin, its not as iconic but it is indeed way past cool.
Ryan is the best sonic va ever, fight me
THE SECOND ONE BROKE THE F FOURTH WALL
Well of course that commercial didn't sound like Smith. He didn't voice the character until 2010.
I think Drummond is great and all, but I wouldn't call him consistent.
SA1, SA2, and Heroes Sonic all sound different enough that if you played me a voiceline from any of the three, I'd be able to identify which game it's from.
Simply put, he's a lot calmer and grounded in SA1 than in Heroes.
I personally prefer the voice Acting of Junichi Kanemaru because it fits Sonic very well also the Enrish too.
