My Sonic Voice Impression Journey (So Far) 

"He sounded very macho, but also like a little shit" Dude your impressions are insane, when you talk I think of those exact 'sonics'

Idk why but I get BikburiBox 12 editing and scripting vibes from this. This is not a complaint btw, I want more please 🙏

I feel like the reason it's easier to do a Shadow impression than a Sonic one is due to how doing Luigi is easier than Mario. Shadow requires less energy and you don't have to be as loud as while you're doing a Sonic impression which requires a more energetic and lively tone. Luigi is just pitching your voice up and sounding similar to how you'd think he sounds in voice clips while Mario requires more knowledge on how to control the accent and pitch in your vocal cords. Still, it's good to see someone else speaking out about their VA journey, and I'll gladly support your future endeavors!

I miss Jason's Sonic so much. He started out kinda rough but he got better in every game. I also looked up to him. But it's always been my dream to voice either Tails, or Sora from Kingdom Hearts. Don't know if that would ever happen though

I'll be waiting patiently for the Sonic Schoolhouse Voice impression

You did this ALL without a script?! That's crazy! Also your voice impressions are absolutely insane. Have you ever tried voicing Ryan Drummond's Sonic?

The Roger voice was awesome! I laughed so hard! All the other impressions were amazing too!

I remember hearing the first shadow impression, very cool seeing how far you've gone! Excited to see what else you have planned :>

Your Sonic really hits different, it's really unique while still being really close to what I like about Jason's Sonic (which is my favorite Sonic voice actor in english), and I like it having that difference, it makes me enjoy your Sonic more than the other 3 mainline voice actors, Ryan even Jason himself, and Roger too... even though he's my least favorite Sonic... don't get me wrong, I think he's a pretty good voice actor and has a kinda cool voice for Sonic, but out of the main 3, he's my least favorite, with my favorite being Jason himself (I mean, as I said, in english at least, because in general it's my GOAT Jun'ichi Kanemaru), but even though Roger is my least favorite out of the 3 I for some reason LOVE his in-game grunts and sounds he does in Colors and Generations, the little "Hah!" "Yes!" "Ye-hea!" "Woo-hoo!", "Huh!", etc. For some reason I just like listening Roger do those little grunts in his Sonic voice while I'm playing just as much as I love Ryan and Jason do on the gameplay as well, even if Roger isn't my favorite voice actor when it comes to voice acting the cutscenes with full dialogue. And some of those grunts you make while voicing Sonic still sounds A LOT like Jason, but sometimes some of your grunts slightly remind me of Roger, which is cool since I love his in-gameplay grunts and small dialogues anyway, I can hear your Jason really well since you studied him a lot and started to get the tricks to doing his Sonic impression, but since your natural voice can easily become Roger's voice sometimes with those small grunts it also sounds like Roger a bit, which again, isn't a negative thing because that's my favorite part about his Sonic anyway But moving on, I also liked how you make Sonic sound more younger, it still sounds a lot more like Griffith, but it has that younger vibe, one of my favorite things about the japanese voice of Sonic and Knuckles specifically is how they both really sound like teenagers, thing that I never noticed on any of the english actors and wish it was there (especially for Knuckles), it makes them really feel like they're from the age they are, but your Sonic perfectly makes that magic feel of Kanemaru's Sonic into an english version mixed with my favorite english voice Jason Griffith, it's basically a win-win, your Sonic feels like a mix of every of my favorite aspects from each Sonic voice actor, which is amazing to me I think your Jason Shadow on the other hand is a lot closer to Griffith's Shadow instead of his japanese counterpart like Sonic is, which also isn't bad, Jason's Shadow rocks just as much as his Sonic (even though my favorite english Shadow in this case is David Humphrey, not Jason, but he's my close second anyway, and I also like Kirk too)

My impression on people not liking the new voices for msa2 is that they're most likely just purists wanting the original VAs, but I'm glad you didn't take it to heart either way! you sounded great in it!

Wow man, you're journey is super impressive! I am trying to learn how to animate and voice act myself, so this was very inspirational

I’ve wanted to be a voice actor for so long but haven’t really done anything about it since like 2021 so this is a huge inspiration for me, your impressions are killer man!

Great video! I was very impressed by your growth and then the OVA impression was jaw dropping with how accurate it sounds. Well done, your hard work has certainly paid off 💪

As someone that's been doing multiple sonic character impressions for over a year now (Mostly Silver), I really appreciate this vid popping up on my recommended

Funnily enough voice clips Is what made my sonic impression better aswell Congrats on finishing highschool btw! I just got finished with middle school 😭

Nah your voice work is one of the most impressive and accurate ive heard. They’re the most accurate as a voice impressionist you did amazing 🙏🙏

I think your shadow voice is really good!

That classic Sonic is so good, I’ve been practicing on my Sonic impression for years! Thank you for some of the info cause I never thought of listening to voice lines

Dude you voiced sonic in modern SA2 that’s awesome!

Your voices are so good! Whenever I try to do any impressions I always suck, but for some reason all my friends are much better than me haha.

Thank you for these tips it's nice to see another person with my struggles and I want to continue to voice act and voice impression my favorite fictional characters. Thank you for being some of the people that I look up to when it comes to voice acting and impressions.

going from 2:42 to 8:18 for Shadow is absolutely insane, amazing work :D

Thanks for the words of wisdom at the end there too. Someone commented on my channel that they liked my voice and since then I've really wanted to do something about it. 👍

This just motivated me ive been wanting to dabble in voice acting

crazy to see how far youve gone, this is exactly what im doing right now, i hope i can improve in a year from now

I absolutely LOVE all your Sonic impressions!! They are very good! And I may have been voicing Tails for a few years though I think I should and could possibly improve, and honestly this video gave me that motivation! And all I use is an iPad mic lol. You got a new subscriber here!! 👍

HES BACKK!!

That's pretty cool bro I've been doing a Mario impression I'm glad you got better at it

I'm honestly working on being like you in terms of voicing Sonic. I can kinda do the main trio VAs from the games and a bit of Movie Sonic, but I could always use improvement. So seeing your journey has inspired me to keep going. I hope we can collab some day

Congratulations on finishing high school! Very cool that you are doing voice acting! Always enjoy seeing your art too! Subscribed to you!

Nice to see your progress, really like your shadow voice!

Yes! 8:46 I was litterally wondering if you liked that rendition of Sonic, its one of my favorites. Also you do great with all the voices keep up the good work! Oh right, (Subscribed)

mad respect to you bro, your voices are actually really good!! im a fan now lol

This has me half tempted to try voicing Sonic or Shadow! Just gotta overcome my own paranoia first! Great video, made me laugh at a couple points.

Im surprised your voice acting went under my radar, it really good! Also I can hear the bickuribox reference in the end lol

*takes notes*

You just earned a new subscriber! i started voice acting back in like 2021 but i haven’t been doing it much as recently. But in all honesty it’s really fun. I’m also most known for my shadow voice. i would love to use this video idea if that would be cool with you. i’ll credit you as well

Good advice, Val 😊

Bickuribox’s lost brother, amazing video and you nailed the commentary

YOO MY GOAT IS BACK LET’S FLIPPING GOOOOOOO 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

This video is a total banger for aspiring voice actors like myself

u sound like sonic normally talking

YOU DID THE VERBALASE THING LISTEN TO CHARACTER FOR HOURS GOODJOB! (Imma try this with goku and vegeta before the hedgehog duo)

Y'know, hearing your actual voice is refreshing. The only wall I need to overcome in Voice Impressions is the language barrier, since I do not speak English fluently, and I practice my English every single day just because of that.

Yo keep on the good work :) by the way I plan on making a project that may need your assistance in terms of voice acting but that’s for later :) anyways good luck on your journey

You have improved alot! I'll keep looking forward to uour'e future projects! (Also your scripting and editing gave alot of BikburiBox12 vibes! )

This makes me a lot more comfortable about my voice acting. I’ve been doing the same thing and I’m pretty pessimistic towards myself. I really want to get into some fan projects and not sure how to go about it.

I think your Shadow would also do well for a Seto Kaiba voice role

Well im glad tour back man.

Hey dude, your Sonic and Shadow voices are quite good! Quite close to onpoint with Jason! If you guys are ever looking for some more Sonic character voids in future projects, let me know! I make and voice in Sonic animations too! :)

Thank You for your Help!

amazing AS ALWAYS. its always great to hear someones story. I'd LOVE someone like you to voice in my videos "I make stop motion videos with a story lol" keep it up.

I always wanted to try voice acting and can only do certain characters to a extent but now after watching this I think I’ll try it more often so I can improve

My voice is really high pitched and i always did impressions of other people with high pitched voices but after watching this I feel like I can probably do some lower ones

Ngl your profile pic makes the channel should be called McSonalds

Huh. Your journey isn’t all that different from mine except for me it was Sonic that I got used to and Shadow that gave me a harder time. That and I don’t really get my impressions out there as much 😅 That being said, it’s great to see someone else get better at voice acting in a way I want to as well. Keep it up, man!

Your video style is really similar bicuribox. I like that.

5:34 "granted, doesn't really sound like Jason Griffith still" i'm sorry WHAT? BRO I LITERALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ORIGINAL CLIP

Been thinking about getting into voice acting and I honestly wanna master and try a decent Shadow impression

Sheesh, you finish up high school in may? I still have over a month left before summer vacation

you should try Roger's voice from Sonic Frontiers! i feel like you would be very good at it. Keep up the amazing work!!

Yo, get sega to hire you, your talented as hell

Hey man, your voice acting is sooooooooo good. And I just wanna ask: How about making your tutotrials on how to voice act sonic characters? I think a looot of sonic fans would like to learn those things, and only few people made tutorials about voice acting sonic characters. And those few people who did it, explain it only on a surface level. I think you can take this opportunity. You will help your channel get more noticed, and you will help other by making these videos. It's a W scenario for everyone. Eitherway, keep up the great work ;)

this showed me i got tons of work to do on my voice acting...

Wb bro

Damit now I'm inspired how dare you

This makes me wanna try learning how to talk like sonic lol

actual sega hire this man moment right here

I would absolutely love to do voice acting, I feel like i could do a decent Griffith Shadow the Hedgehog and werehog I just need a microphone and some practice, also yeah shadows voice seems easier to do than sonic i think its bc his voice is much higher, big fan of your stuff btw!

HIGH SCHOOL YOU SOUND AT LEAST 25-28

Can’t believe I’ve been playing MSA2 without knowing who you are 😭

Bro you should make a tutorial for how to do the voices 🙏🏼

W!!!

YAYYYY

I think the first Shadow impression was amazing

New to your channel but there’s no way you just finished High School and you sound older than me you have a good voice range man also didn’t realize I followed you on twitter could be coincidence but I knew your pfp looked familiar

the OVA is on youtube

"He sounded like a masho" Bro I think your about to become the next Jason Griffith with that voice, Sega needs to higher you now, so that we don't have to hear Roger all the time

Now I'm genuinely wondering how ur Frontiers Roger would sound because of the extremely different voice direction

honestly, when i was sick once i tried making a comic dub and i swear i sounded like Tails from Tails and Sonic R, but without being sick, i mostly can sound like Cream somehow, even though i keep practicing Tails' voice

Hey friend, what microphone do you use now? Your audio sounds so soft yet bassy and overall very clean, do you have some audio config tips as well? Would greatly appreciate it if you could share your knowledge :) ALSO I FUCKING LOVE YOUR IMPRESSIONS YOU SOUND GREAT!!!!!

Maybe I should… start voicing work

Now that I think about it, no offense btw, but jason griffith: loud slightly higher and obnoxious(if thats the right word) Roger: slightly low(now) and sarcasm Adventure sonic(I don't remember his name): high determined and obnoxious Yes this is how I see the voices no shade it's just my hearing is extremely good due to medical reasons im only legally blind so at least i won get arrested. But the character, like always is something I can only hope to be. And btw you nailed the OVA voice

Freaking great but what would be your own Sonic voice ? ,o, It's intersting me ,w,

5:25 Your not alone:>>!

didint know u have a yt channel i just followed u on twitter xD

There's (probably) a universe out there where I pursued a VA career or similar One of the few hobies I have that I often do in my spare time Not having any pc/laptop or audio equipment will do that to ya (that being, not pursuing anything)

Yo thanks for the alive, ill try that.

I am new to this channel and I gotta say. One thing you can be missing. I try to go for a Sonic Jason Griffith voice kinda like you I guess and it's not that bad really. In my opinion it just takes a bit more energy. Gotta talk louder. Obviously for the quieter moments you can't talk loud but I'd say just take the louder part to it and just put it to a lower volume so then I can just do Sonic at either an energetic higher volume or a lower volume. Fairly though. My first impression was Stitch lol. The Disney character. Funny little alien. I took a break and probably last year or 2022 as well I just then started to increase not just to Sonic, but also Shadow and even tried Eggman. I also tried characters that aren't even from Sonic. I'm just saying. Some voices take it a little bit louder. If it always feels off maybe try to feel a little bit more in it. What I mean by that is feel like your the character. Feel that you are Sonic or Shadow. Cause in my opinion and it works for me, I try to feel more like a character. I try to act like them. Portray the character. It worked out well for me. That's one thing I wanna say to all those who might wanna voice act some of their favorite characters! First you gotta get the voice down a little bit and then you gotta have the energy. Once you've done that then just *be* the character. And it takes practice obviously. I didn't get it immediately. But with practice, comes success. Good Luck on your future in Voice Acting ShibiPaffu and good luck to anyone who wants to try to voice act! One last thing. Remember to never give up!

got possessed by bickuribox12 at the end there 👻😰

BickburiBox12 vibes from here

Man, I'll tell you this: if you're much more comfortable sounding like Shad, then it's completely different for me, Sonic is much easier for me, and to talk like Shadow, you have to drink liters of milk directly from the refrigerator

NAHHH PEOPLE ARE HATING UR SHADOW VOICE!?!?!??!?! HOW!?!??!?!

Now do Jaleel White Sonic

iv'e got to admit. some of ShibiPaffu's voices kinda sound a little better then the game ones. but that's just me

2:41 for a first impression it is way better than you make it out to be.

i am currently trying to get my voice right for shadow the hedgehog, but wouldnt know what to do with it even if i was good. so where can i USE my skill, if i have reached a good point?

in a sort of similar situation except instead of art i do 3d animation

hi

dawg when do i get to story write (what am i talking about)
