User blog:Pinkolol16/My opinions on the new voice actors...

I know this is really late, but I feel like having a rant about this at the moment.

Note to users: This is my opinions on the voice actors. You don't have to agree with what I say here if you don't want to.

I do believe that the old ones were better. They actually sounded like the characters. Sonic in the day, the old old day, with Ryan, sounded like he had an attitude... all the time, and that's a problem because you can't have attitude all the time, and he sounded like a gangster. I'll now have my say about all of them.

Sonic's first voice actor has already been explained, So I'm going to move on to Jason. He was really awesome as Sonic, even if Sonic X sucked, he wouldn't sound like Sonic if it weren't for him. He sounded in character and when I watched Sonic Unleashed cutscenes on Youtube, my mouth dropped at the great voice. No joke, I felt like I could drop it to the middle of the Earth because it was that good. Awesome acting. But then comes Sonic Colours and Free Riders, when Roger took over. IT WAS A DISASTER!!!! I only watched Sonic Colours Wii cutscenes, and they made him sound terrible! He sounded like saving the world was like getting ice cream... literally. Constant jokes, WAY too cocky for the hedgehog we know, and in Free Riders, sounding even more terrible! Overall, the best voice actor for Sonic is Jason IMO.

Tails is a different story. His Adventure voice actors weren't bad, but then again, they weren't that good either. When Amy took over Tails, at first he sounded like a girl(listen to the line in Sonic X, first ep where he says "Knuckles!", that's a perfect example) But she got better, to the point where I actually liked her. Kate didn't sound too bad for Tails, but it sounded like he was just an ordinary fox with 2 tails. I'm gonna go with Amy more, but Kate sounds alright.

Knuckles is a hard one to describe. His first voice actor made him sound old and gruff, but when he was happy, he almost showed no emotion in doing so. When Dan took over, everything went upwards. He still retained the gruffiness, but there was a spark of playful in there too, if he was happy, he sounded happy, when he was angry, he sounded angry. But then Travis came along, and he sounds way too high pitched for the role and even sounding too much like Dan, rather than pulling his own voice. Overall, Dan is better.

Amy is just, hard to describe. Her old voice actor, Jennifer, didn't sound too bad, but sounded like Amy was 13 or something, like a big posh teenage girl sometimes. I would prefer her, but when Lisa came, everything spawned. Amy sounded younger, and more like a girl chasing after Sonic, who whines, and when she's happy, she actually sounded happy. She sounded in character the whole time. Then, Cindy arrived, and everything went haywire. Amy no longer sounded like she was 12, or that she was chasing down Sonic, she sounded like an 8 year old girl trying to win the best cutie award... but sounded like Minnie Mouse. Seriously, if it was more high pitched, it would sound more like Cream's sort of voice. No way, in the world, do I tolerate an out of character voice actor. I will miss Lisa greatly, and I(and alot of other people) would welcome her back greatly.

Cream's voice is one that isn't very able to rant about. Her old voice didn't sound too bad, although it did sound too high. Rebecca did a mind blower, she actually made Cream sound like a little playful girl, who likes to pick flowers. Her new one doesn't sound too bad, but it does make Cream sound a little older, which isn't a good thing. My opinion is mixed, but I'm going with Rebecca more on this one.

Shadow's is easy. His old one made him sound.......... like a young dude, and we all know he's 50. When Jason came along, he actually sounded dark and demeanous, like the hedgehog he should sound like. When his new one came, he sounded like he wanted to have S-E-X with someone, it's that bad. Jason had the best voice ever for Shadow. I'll say, if he was ever going to be in Sonic Unleashed, he would have sounded awesome. Jason FTW!

Rouge's old voice didn't sound too bad. Her new one acted funny. I did like it, but it wasn't AWESOME, but her new one makes her sound young, god, we don't want to witness a 15 yr old Rouge. I don't really care who voices Rouge, so long as it's not the new one.

Blaze didn't sound bad back in the old day, she actually sounded like a serious cat, with actual emotion. Her new one makes her sound young, which is really stupid, because we know Blaze likes to be serious. Bella FTW!!!

Silver actually doesn't sound bad now, but he sounds like he's 10 sometimes. I prefer Pete more because fo the way he sounded, it actually made Silver sound energetic and happy, and when he was serious, serious voice. Great way to make Silver.

Vector... I liked either any of his old ones better. Nothing to say here, other than he sounds high pitched right now.

Espio is actually one I like out of the new ones. David is still my fav, but Troy in Colours DS didn't actually did a bad job, and a joy to my ears. David is good, Bill sounds too angry, Troy sounds okay. Those are it.

Charmy... sounds cool. His first one sounded bad, but in Shadow the Hedgehog, he sounded awesome! Amy actually did a good job. When Colleen came along, it still flowed. AWESOME!!! My opinions 1. Colleen 2. Amy. 3. old voice actor(forget the name of the first one)

Jet didn't sound bad before, sounding more cool than anything. But his new one made him sound... like a nerd. WAY TOO HIGH PITCHED!!!! Jason FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Storms new voice I have no idea of, but I like his older one better.

Wave sounds, not too bad. She used to sound like a spunk, a girl who's posh and good with technology. But now she sounds too soft and hard at the same time. Definetely Bella IMO.

So you may have seen that the 4Kids voice actors were most of my favs. That was because they all sounded in character. But when you bring a way too cocky hedgehog, a high pitched girl sounding like she is 8(Amy) things go haywire. I'll wait for better performances, but I think it'll be a long, cold wait for good voices.
