For me, Jason and Ryan portrayed the “teenager with attitude and love of adventure” of Sonic perfectly. During the Adventure era, Sonic seemed to fit that mold. Sonic still has that attitude, and while I loved the performances of Ryan and Jason, it took a while for me to warm up to Roger’s Sonic. Roger sounded a bit deeper and felt like a Sonic that was a bit more mature as a seasoned hero by the time he’d voiced him. By the time of Frontiers, I’d accepted Roger’s Sonic, as for the longest time, Jason and Ryan’s voices as Sonic *was* Sonic to me. I still love how they’re both around to share stories about their roles as Sonic, as many fans loved some of the games from the 2000s to 2010s.

Funny thing is, I actually really liked the "nerdy" Sonic he started off with the most. My favorite performance of Jason Griffith as Sonic was episode 1 of Sonic X. But I do hear ALMOST this brookly accent being channeled. There's no actual accent, but it almost feels like there could be. Like with Bugs Bunny (who does have the accent). I almost kinda think his final performances mixed with his early voice would go well together. There were even moments in episode 1 where he sounded like Jaleel White.

@@ViltrumiteIsRite99 I don’t think there’s an “as well”. The familiarity with Jaleel White Sonic seems coincidental. The of Roger sounded similar, it was only in acting and not in the voice. I remember people hating Roger’s voice for being too deep and saying Sonic hit puberty (even though his voice was already post-cracked but whatever) I made a short video once comparing Roger’s voice in Colors to Jason’s in Unleashed showing that back to back they sounded extremely similar at the very least. I think in Lost World it was a bit too light and Nasally but his voice is WAY too deep in Frontiers, because apparently deep voice = serious somehow and lighter voiced can’t be serious? lol Even Roger was like wtf? It’s deeper than his natural voice ever so slightly. lol The first Sonic voice to purposely not sound like Sonic. It’s bizarre. But I really like Roger’s voice especially in Generations. And some TailsTube and Twitter Takeovers where I assume the directing is more free and natural. They always sound better there. (Except Shadow. Idk what caused Kirk to sometimes be growly Shadow and sometimes be more faithfully Shadow.) He’s literally done both versions in the games, both in the Twitter takeovers, and both in Boom even. lol)

(Also it's not like his voice changed in the middle of a show, that would have felt weirder) Plus now we get to pick our favorite voices, and get inspired by more 👌

Jason is extremely talented. As a kid, at first, I wasn't a fan of his voice since I grew up with Ryan Drummond. But between Sonic Unleashed and Black Knight, he single-handedly delivered the best Sonic performances of all time. And then, growing up and finding out he was also Shadow blew my mind, given how distinct he managed to make his voice sound. And that's not even accounting for all the other characters he voiced that myself and tons of other kids grew up with.

I'm from the future, it's actually Keanu Reeves. 😥

The fact he can still do the voices years later with minimal differences is not only impressive, but way past cool. I grew up with Sonic X, Sonic Unleashed, Mario & Sonic, and Sonic & The Black Knight. These were my childhood Sonic games and they remain some of my favorites to this day (especially Sonic Unleashed). I always thought the same that Jason perfected the character voice by Sonic Unleashed and Black Knight. I'm glad to see he agrees that they let him go at his best. The great character writing and storytelling for Unleashed and Black Knight, propelled Jason's performance immensely. The storytelling, cinematic feel, and character arcs peaked with those games. It made it all the more sad that they ditched Jason in 2010. I still have a special place in my heart for almost all things Sonic related, even the stuff that came before and after Jason's work on the character. Not everything he worked on was perfect though. I think his performances in Shadow and 06 as Sonic leave a lot to be desired at some points. However, the stuff that Jason did work on and excelled left an impact on my life I never thought possible through voice acting. I really wish and believe that he was still the voice of Sonic & Shadow as just when Jason perfected the character voices he was swiftly replaced by an inferior Sonic voice. Not a bad one mind you and had some solid performances in some Sonic Media, but not nearly as good as Jason in his peak. I'm glad that these roles basically kick-started his career and that he has moved on to more roles in games and other media. He handled the hand off well, for that and his undeniable talent, I respect Jason.

I like the origins of people developing their character voices. Jason Griffith got shadow from a corpse husband-esc smoking edgy writer of a roommate named Carl and Tom Kenny got spongebobs voice from an angry swearing midget dressed as an elf. Lol

that story was SO FUNNY

We need him to voice act for Shadow in the new Sonic The Hedghog 3

I think that the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie will be a great movie worth seeing, if it ever does come out. And besides, what would SEGA be, or where would it be without Shadow in the mix?

I think our Sonic many people grew up with the most

I love how well he can transition between voices. Every time I heard him do the Sonic or Shadow voice, part of me felt like a kid again. I was in awe.

He still the definitive voice of Sonic

Sonic X cast was probably the best overall.

My favorite Shadow for sure. Thank you for existing Carl 😂 I hope he does all future shadow va!!

Well Mike said he just re-auditioned for Eggman and that's why he's still in the cast.

Probably sure he's been pumping himself up with the weights, along with a great cardio exercise routine right before he started to take up voice acting.

Watching this made me giggle, but also it breaks my heart that he was replaced. I know everyone hates Sonic 06, but that game (and Unleashed/Black Knight) really showcases just how friendly and compassionate Sonic is, and how ready he is to help someone in need. Jason’s Sonic was the warmest voice we have had for Sonic, and kid me always felt like Sonic was a good friend. That, plus the quiet, stoic, but assured voice of Shadow was also great. Jason and Dan Green are two of the Sonic actors I’ve missed the most when they got replaced.

Bruh he did so many voices I can’t fathom this is the same person😭

I'm genuinely glad Jason is still gainfully employed and getting work, he was my Sonic growing up and I'm eternally thankful for all the memories he gave me, thanks so much Jason!💙
