Sonic Discussion

Best guess for this image: sonic and tails gay porn
 

 
I mean, I guess. I just wanted to find a bigger version of it. :I

…That moment when you realize that, as of Sonic Forces, Tails is pretty much a child soldier.

@Jarkes  
As of SatAM. :v

@LightningBolt
 
Talking about the games canon here.

Suddenly Cream not being in Forces makes a lot more sense…

@Jarkes  
I know.

Also, across all the different cartoons and games, Tails has had more voice actors in both Japanese and English than any other Sonic character.
 
He has like 6 Japanese VAs and like, 15 English VAs.

@Jarkes  
It makes sense, if they don’t use a female VA, his VA gets too old after two years.

@LightningBolt  
please no.

@Angrybrony  
It was 100% innocent intentions. :(
 
promise

@LightningBolt
 
Apparently Yuji Naka was weirdly insistent during the Adventure-Heroes era at casting a young boy for Tails’s voice. He apparently had trouble understanding that casting a female as a young boy in voice acting is common in the US. …Which is weird considering that’s also common in Japan. Hence why he had 3 different VAs in the span of 5 years.
 
Lani Minella (the voice director from that era, as well as Rouge’s voice then) had an interview with some fansite a while back and she basically said, “Yeah, the localization and recording process for those games was an absolute dumpster fire.”

@Jarkes  
He didn’t even share a voice in SatAM and AoStH. Which was weird, but I guess it’s because he was 10 in one and 4 in the other?

@LightningBolt
 
Or the Sonic Christmas Blast TV special.
 
And it kind of amusing me that with the Adventure games, Corey Bringas, the voice in Adventure 1 and Shuffle, ended up getting replaced by his younger brother Connor for Adventure 2. And they sounded pretty much identical to each other (which I guess makes sense since, well, they’re brothers).

@Jarkes  
They were brothers?
 
Huh.
 
I liked his SA2 voice a lot. Not so much Heroes. And the OVA voice…not at all.

@LightningBolt
 
Yeah, for years I thought Connor was just Corey being credited differently for some reason.

Also, William Corkery, Tails’s Heroes voice, also worked with his dad, Bill, and sister, Emily, on that game, who were Vector and Charmy, respectively.

@LightningBolt  
I kinda liked OVA Tails, ‘cause he sounded kinda like Chuckie from “Rugrats.” lol
 
@Jarkes  
@LightningBolt  
To be honest, I kinda prefer Tails with a genuine kid’s voice as opposed to the usual raspy anime voices he gets from female VAs.

@Jarkes  
I knew they were different, but I didn’t know they were related.

@Beau Skunky
 
Maybe that’s how Yuji Naka felt as well.

…I wonder if the Bringas brothers ever did more acting (voice or otherwise) after those games…

@Beau Skunky  
I think adult voices make him sound smarter.

@LightningBolt  
Yeah, but they don’t really make him sound like a kid to me usually. Some kids can be good actors.  
(I will admit, his “Sonic Heroes” voice sounded too young though.)
 
Granted, a disadvantage for using a kid’s voice is they tend to age, so it’s difficult for a boy, or some girls to continue the role if it lasts a few years.

@Beau Skunky  
I think they work out well. Took awhile for Tails’ 4kids voice to work well tho.

Also, I forgot who Tails’s current voice (Boom and onward) is.

@LightningBolt
 
Most of the 4Kids VAs took a while.
 
I’ve mentioned this before, but Sonic X was Jason Griffith’s first ever voice acting gig, and boy does it show. He definitely got better over time though(especially in Unleashed and Black Knight), and I always thought he was pretty darn good as Shadow.
