This possibly explains everything www.sonicstadium.org/board/index.php?showtopic=30691 I know that people have thier own opinions on the voice acting, but there was nothing but total disses toward each other's tastes and dislikes that it just became sad. And there was nothing else but that for 12 whole freakin' pages! It was totally ridiculous. Not even the mods there could control it. I will respond to it with this:  It's things like this that makes me not like Sonic anymore .>.> |

This is the exact reason why I stopped going to 'sonic fansite forums'. They're typically full of a bunch of pre-teen whiners who take everything seriously and as an insult. No more SOAH for me, even if it was cool for a little while. :\ Let's hope Sonic Stadium KEEPS those people over there.

In all honesty, retarded acts like this only make me more of a fan, simply because I'm a stubborn so and so. By the way, if you need anymore face palms, try this one...  Yes, I know, I'm so clever and witty. |

You know, I was whole-heartedly against much of 4 Kids voice-acting in the beginning. Much of that has to do with my personal and professional (I am, among other things, a Warner Bros. Animation writer) views on their business practices. Furthermore, some of their voices are undoubtedly half-assed and shameful (cue Vector).
But to give credit where credit is due, some of there are pretty good. Mike makes a fine replacement for Deem. Tails has never sounded better. Knuckles may often sound too angry, but at least he shows emotion now.
All in all, the voices are fine, and I'd rather the characters keep one voice for a while (like Mario and Snake) then be constantly changing every couple of games. As has been mentioned before, it's not like the original voices were really stellar. Ryan was great toward then end, but it's painful to hear him in Sonic Adventure.
What I'm getting at, is: Let the 4 Kids actors stay. Just make sure that Sega holds them to a higher degree of quality. Asking them to change voice actors just to appease your nostalgia is ridiculous. (People still want Jaleel Whit back!) But Sega does listen to fan feed back, and they do care about the series. Critique the voices. Keep them on their toes. Hell, you can see that Knuckles and Rouge's OOC voices were toned down to fit better in Shadow the Hedgehog. Make the best with what we've got.

I really don't see what's so bad about voice actors. Then again, I'm the type that HATES it when the main character is a mute.

Some people say that Sonic is the type to not even talk at all. He should just get a zipper or something.  But really, I was perfectly fine with the old cast. There was no need to change them in the first place. |

I think they changed the actors shortly before the VA's death. Afterwards quite a few fans thought it was less likely that the original VA's be rehired due to his passing.
I always thought they'd just use the video game voices for the cartoon, it turned out being the other way around xD But if the voices really bug me (like Tails' in Sonic Riders 2) then I just switch the voice language to Japanese. It's so much fun to hear characters say Sonic the Hedgehog in Japanese for some reason XD!

Because Japanese voice acting always sounds awesome. Also as for one of the changes aside from Eggman' VA dying, I heard its also cause Ryan had a behbeh.
