SEGA just announced new voice actors for characters in the Sonic Franchise.

http://blogs.sega.com/usa/2010/07/15/ou ... hedgehogs/

Right now they only announced 3

Roger Craig Smith is now playing Sonic. He has played Chris Redfield from RE5, Ezio from Assassin Creed 2, and Seigfried Schtauffen from Soulcalibur IV. He also played many characters from animes, best known for some voices in Naruto and Bleach.
He has also played characterfs from SEGA games like Valkyria Chronicles,Crazy Taxi,MADWORLD, and Resonance Of Fate

Kate Higgins is now playing Tails. She has played roles in SEGA games (Valkria Chronicles, MADWORLD) She is best known for Sakura from Naruto.

Mike Pollock will remain as Dr.Robotnik. Im glad they kept him, i think his voice fits Robotnik perfectly.

So what do you guys think? This series has always been plagued with horrible voice talent will this change that? Who knows

Im curious about tails new voice since he always had a terrible voice actor since the 90's. Roger seems experience, and i enjoy Mike Pollock work on the Soinc franchise.

I just found out about this through Twitter.

In my opinion, Mike Pollock fits Eggman well, and I can kinda see Kate Higgins doing Tails, but I'll just have to wait and see on Roger Smith. I had to go on YouTube and find vids of him to hear him, and I was like, "I can't really tell."

And I was just getting used to Jason Griffith. Some still don't like him, but he has improved since he had first started.

Seriously?! I actually liked Jason Griffith as Sonic! Wait, if Jason isn't doing Sonic anymore, then who is voicing Shadow? Is it still Griffith? Are they keeping Dan Green as Knuckles? Will Amy's voice stay the same?

If they are changing the voice actors again, why didn't they just bring back the old cast? I mean come on! Why did they need new voices?! I liked the current cast!

EDIT: Just listened to Roger. No. I cannot see him doing Sonic's voice. I can see him doing Shadow though.

Agreed.
Jason has been getting better as time went by playing as Sonic but when he voiced other Sonic characters like Shadow and Jet it was horrible.

Why? Because Sonic fans bitch about everything and one argument that their still having is Jason vs Ryan.

And the old cast was just as bad i dont know why people defend them. They said they liked their job more and they were more energetic but their voices was still horrible.

I personally think none of the characters should speak.

Pretty much non-news for a series that shouldn't even have any talking, but they've both done decent jobs in their other roles. Though not even a quality voice actor can save shit writing.

The new Sonic actor should be interesting, he's a fairly good actor

I only know voice actors if they are famous people for doing other things too. Like when Mark Hamill was the voice for some guy in Yakuza, I knew who people were talking about then.
