14:14 finally always wanted to see them re-enact that scene
Lisa recently visited my town for a con and she was so nice. I had her autograph one of my Sonic games and she spoke as Amy for a bit and I loved it! Then I mentioned one of my favorite moments from her time as Amy and she smiled and said to me, “That makes me happy that you love Amy as much as I do.” I felt happy too meeting her
Somewhere out there is a file of Shadow being extra profane, you say? ... _"Where the fuck is that DAMN file?!"_
9:08 Lisa's entrance was so great. ^-^

That’d be a dream come true!! Ryan is awesome! My favorite Sonic voice actor!!
SEGA: DAMMIT RYAN! You can't voice more than one character!! *LATER THAT ERA* SEGA: SO.... David Humphrey already left. Can you do some of Shadow's lines? Ah, also in the next game we're gonna also have you voice Neo Metal Sonic. I mean..... he's basically Sonic anyways right? John: Oh oh! Can I voice Omega too? I mean... it's not really ACTING anyways since you're gonna add a bunch of effects right? SEGA: FINE! Whatever... *NEXT ERA* SEGA: Okay, Jason.... You're Sonic now. Also Shadow. Also Jet. And a few extras. Go tell Knuckles' VA to also do Storm, ice cream man, Mephiles and doctor cucumber or whatever name we settle on.

And the guy who done Sonic in the movie OVA :)
I’d only discovered Sonic and Tails R recently, but the fact that Mike Polluck, Ryan Drummond, and other older cast got involved in that little project, with no note of payment, shows just how much they love the fans, and got to be part of the Sonic franchise.
The two Sonics and Big the cat sees Amy at 9:11 Jason Sonic calls Ryan Sonic faker and renacts the scene from Sonic Adventure 2 at 14:15 Big the cat's voice actor is confirmed to voice the voice announcer guy from Sonic Advance 2 and 3 at 45:52 Your welcome.
Ryan Drummond was my first Sonic voice actor I was introduced to in Sonic Heroes and then I grew up with Jason Griffiths watching Sonic X and playing Sonic 06, Shadow the Hedgehog and Unleashed and I love both their unique personalities they gave to character Ryan beginning the cool adventurer and Jason the more mature caring nature and I hope to one day get to meet them in person 👍💙🦔
I agree with Ryan's, they need to remake the Sonic Adventure game's!
Sega should make a game where all sonics cross over voiced by all sonics that would be amazing
Jason wanting to know the names of the people who are asking questions is so sweet, and the rest of the panel going along with it makes it so much sweeter 😊
All four of these actors are so wholesome and down to Earth. We will always enjoy their voice performances 😊
Now the only thing that’s needed is for Roger to join in with Ryan and Jason for one of these q&a stuff
22:45 And yet we still got Deem Bristow saying "Yosh." instead of something like "It's alright."
There's always gotta be that one guy in the crowd with no filter lol.
Man i love jason :)
Hi Amy😂 9:26
47:29 AND here jason just became my favorite #CDisTHEGOAT

For me in sonic voice acting in games Ryan's voice was a great establishment for the blue blur. As for Jason Griffin's voice, he was expansion and evolution in a fantastic way. Both are great.
Love the story of Big getting his voice, and how they have given Sonic such drastically different voices over the years, but kept goin for the same type of voice for Big. 😂💜
So cool to see two eras of VAs just chilling together, talking like buds, no rivalry whatsoever
I fw the dude in the crowd talking at 38:18 he mad funny fr
That one dude asking questions about Sonic sounding generic never shuts up
Hearing Griffith's swearing as Sonic as the channel bumper without context would shatter minds.

This has to be my favourite scene 14:12 totally cool!
Deem Bristow... I wish he was still among us 😢
John's kids were right. Him being the sound of the Nickleoden splat is actually really cool.
We need Shadow to voice Shadow in the 3rd Sonic Movie! 😂
It’s so amazing to hear all their stories
Look it’s the live adaptation of Sonic Generations
They still got it too... I want to see them in thier old roles again
This is a dream come true to see my two favorite sonic voice actors 😍🤩
I love that Noah has become just as much a part of the panel as the VAs lmao
BIG NUKEM!?!?! USSOP THE HEDGEHOG!?!?! RYAN!?!?
HAHA I'm rewatching this while playing Heroes running on Dolphin on the side right now and- Jason: I'm so sorry Noah! Are you still here?? Ryan's Sonic: YES WE ARE!
I would have loved to ask Jason to do my voicemail 😂 Sonic and shadows voice. "****** Can't come to the phone right now!" And then in shadows voice "when I find *****, I'll let you know..."
First: I have been to Dollywood many times, living in Tennessee, it's probably the closest big theme park to me. Now that I know it's Big the Cat/Duke Nukem voicing the buzzard by the Mystery Mine ride (a ride that usually has a very long line), I will never be able to unhear Big and Duke from that buzzard. Second: Yes, playing Sonic can be therapeutic for me. I didn't have a bad home life, but just with the stresses of life in general, it's great to play games from my favorite franchise of all time.
Jason still the best one i cant help it
When there's silence you hear a lot of.... **HEAVY BREATHING**
Never thought I’d see Jason and Ryan together in the same place
Man I love these vids

Well, about Ryan Drummond, I never doubted or was disappointed - his voice is still clear, has the same tone as 25 years ago and you still believe that it is Sonic. But Jason Griffith's voice is slowly starting to weaken, because the tone is no longer the same as it was 20 years ago. But I think this is not a problem. He just needs to train his vocal cords a little and Jason will speak with the voice from Sonic X again.
I would love to see Jon St. John, Oliver Wyman, and Kyle Hebert do a Big the Cat panel at one of these conventions.

We need Sonic Generations 2 but with different sonics and A different voice per era.
Movie Knuckles: "PORCUPINE?!"
This is cool, having the voices of Sonic with the 4Kids Amy feels surreal, especially getting Dreamcast Big/Omega to come along here as well. Don’t know how this could be made better, though adding Roger, although I don’t dislike his take on Sonic, wouldn’t feel 100% right next to Lisa Ortiz’s Amy somehow.
I wonder if the VA of Amy also voiced the lady that worked in the museum in Megaman Legends
