That discussion about the energy that's in the voice. I feel like that's what resonates the most to me about his portrayal as Sonic. It gives him that easy going vibe and attitude to Sonic's persona.

And I give all my respect to y'all! You guys are amazing and give tons of amazing memories. Nomater what goes on in the world. Personal or not; y'all are awesome!

[@bananabike279]

What a chaotic interview, massive props for Ryan for taking time out of his day to do an interview while being at an airport. I forgot what his normal voice sounds like, it sounds so different!

[@TheShockVox]

No shade to Roger, Jason, and now Devin. We all have our Sonic, and I’m even open to new takes. Ryan to this day is my favorite, even with the restrictions that cast had back in the day. It just makes the positive qualities of their performances stand out even more, and Ryan’s time in the role really shined.

[@kaistudios5536]

That's why I'm really liking Devin's Sonic. He has that Ryan‐Sonic energy that I love to hear. 💖 🌟

@@somerandoladSame here, I expected it to be more similar to his Sonic voice, but hey, range is great for voice acting.

[@TheArtCorner74]

My first introduction to sonic was through Jason and Rodger and I didn't hear Ryan until I was about 11 or 12 when I first got Sonic Adventure 2 and it was so different from the others yet I liked it a lot for it's varied emotions and just the cocky, adventure and freedom loving, rebellious hedgehog. Personally his voice is still what comes to mind when I think Sonic the Hedgehog in a split second.

[@DragonBallHamzee]

He's the best Sonic voice actor I've ever heard! I'm glad to hear him voice Sonic again! 😭

[@crasher3203]

First Sonic game I played was Heroes, later years I played the adventure games, loved them, had a blast with them, but nothing will compare to Heroes in my mind, just brings a wave of nostalgia

[@DeathNeff]

Ryan drummond is always my sonic and still is.

[@treythornton19]

Great Interview with him! 🌟

[@TheHylianBatman]

Just judging from the way he talks, Ryan sounds like such a chill, nice, stand-up guy. No disrespect to anybody else who's ever voice Sonic, but Ryan's my guy. I hope he's having a nice day today. I had no idea Ryan was a father! Congratulations!! I wonder if he talked to his kids in his voices, Sonic or other characters. Sega honestly can rot for not offering him a better deal. I didn't know he played video games! I also was unaware that he worked at SeaWorld! I had that same experience, but not at the San Diego park. Thanks for publishing this interview!

On behalf of the Hispanic American Fandom, we thank you for bringing the Original Cast and the 4Kids Cast to your projects, hopefully we will see more collaborations in future videos. Without you, Sonic and Tails R wouldn't be as famous for bringing in the Legends of Jason, Ryan, David, Pete, Lisa, and Mike. Hopefully one day you will consider doing the same with Pac-Man since 10 years before we had Ghostly Adventures and it would be very fun and nostalgic to hear both casts in your future projects. ✌❤

Feels in horrible taste to even ask this, but given the drama that actually matters(not dumb the 'HAHA THEY HAD ROLEPLAY SEX' trending on Twitter that is no one's Goddamn business and I'm disgusted people are blowing it up) is between a small group of ex-friends and con managers, is this channel going to be staying up? Debating if I should download the videos/audio now in case it's pulled by the creators OR if a third party has it attacked. What a mess.

Best modern sonic voice

[@manwhodoesthings]

Jason Griffith has always been my favorite (mainly because he voiced my favorite sonic "style" of the darker fur, longer and thicker quills, and just the cocky attitude that Unleashed and the Storybook games had) but Ryan Drummond is definitely a close second. Not to say I hate Roger Craig Smith's sonic, he does a good job, but if I were to decide who'd voice him I'd go with Jason or Ryan.

[@freezeblazestar1079]

Awesome Ryan Drummond Is The Goat . I Still Praise Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 Shuffle & Sonic Heroes And Mostly Advance 3 Cause Those Were My Introduction Into Sonic All Together And Also The Only Sonic Games That People Acknowledged. Modern Sonic Was My Introduction To The Series And Also The Fact That SA2B Was My 1st GameCube Game Back In 2002. But I Still Like Sonic Battle On GBA Despite It Being An Overlooked Sonic Fighting Game And It Was Also A Sonic Game That I Used To Have Despite How Busted It Is But That Sonic Smackdown Fan Game Looked Pretty Godlike Tho. I Was More Into Video Games That Gives Me An Edge And Sonic Adventure 1&2 , Heroes, Battle Gave Me That Edge And That's The Same Kinda Edge I Got From Playing Ocarina Of Time Since That Game Was Technically My Older Brothers And Also That Shadow. But Yea I'm On Team Modern Sonic But I Still Like Billy Hatcher And The Giant Egg Tho Cause Of The Sega Characters And Even Tho Sonic Himself Is In That Game Along With Tails Knuckles. But I Still Like That Shadow The Hedgehog Game And Sonic Rush As Well. Props To The Jet Set Radio Composers For Doing The Tracks To Sonic Rush & Rush Adventures But Aside Good Stuff. Team Modern Sonic Rules.

@@user_Z- "I decided to return from my mental health break briefly to address information and misinformation that has been shared about Ryan and I. Before clarifying anything, none of this is or was anyone's business and shame on those who felt it was their duty to virtually stalk the parties involved and proceed to tell hundreds of thousands of people online without question about anyone's personal business. During the time of these screenshots, Ryan was separated. Meanwhile, i have never been married and was single at this time. Neither party cheated on anyone. Ryan and I at this time were privately explorind a legitimate relationship with each other. We are real people and I liked this person. This private space was where I could vent about my feelings but also joke constantly with a small group of friends where we treated it as an equivalent to a group text. There were 3-4 people who had access to this space and one of them betrayed my trust, took pictures and shared them in Discord servers without my knowledge. It was an ongoing joke between my friends and also a joke between Ryan and I about him using the voice in bed due to the nature of who he voices. I said those things to bait my friends while Ryan and I were spending time with each other for the sake of the joke and god damn, is that the most unfortunate thing to be shown to a bunch of strangers out of context lmao. THAT PART DIDN'T HAPPEN! That being said, having to come foward and talk about my private relationships with people in the gaming community because someone, much less a man, thought he needed to speak out against Ryan, as if I, as a grown woman, am incapable of making my own decisions, is pretty disgusting. On top of that, deciding for me whitch was better, rumors of what happened between us to circulate (Which they have already existed for years) or a stranger to essentially confirm this information, causing an onslaught of people to slut shame me for having a private relationship with someone as a grown woman in my 20s. I am a 29 year old woman. I have s*x and you are gonna have to deal with is." - Emi Jones (Twitter)

@@user_Z- Sorry for tagging you, they were talking about cheating, but people are forgetting a very important detail in this leak, the "person who leaked". The person betrayed Emi because of that information and among other things, and analyzing the situation, this exposure does not justify a "betraying friend", understand? If Emi said that she hates her fans, then I would understand the betrayal, but because of a joke and the relationship? This does not justify. Remember, if the person cheated on Emi for something like that, the person will definitely do it with other people, you have to be smart with these people. Betrayal and Omission of Information, keep an eye out because it can happen to everyone, including you.

[@SkittleProject]

Guys please, if you're coming just to make jokes about recent events then just don't bother coming at all. Why would ANYONE want to have people they don't know coming at them and making jokes at their expense. They're still people, and they're adults and so whatevers going on in their personal lives is just that, their personal lives. Its not your place to step in and give your opinion or make jokes. Just because you have the power of anonymity dosent mean you should abuse it like it. Dosent matter if no one knows who you are online or what you're saying, you're still saying negative things to a real person. So cut it out

[@hydro3739]

Here's my two cents, as an outsider of this particular community but a part of the sonic fanbase for a long time. When it comes to controversial drama, it's important to layout the facts distinguish them from speculation. 1) Emi and Ryan are both adults around 30-40 years of age. They are allowed to have a private life separate from their careers, separate from the internet, separate from each other even if they did or did not sleep together. Assuming they did, they are above the age where differing age gaps become a big deal in society, and even if there is a 'power dynamic', other celebrities sleep with their fans all the time and no one gives a fuck. My point here is that even if they did have sex, it should not be something worth having their careers on the line. Thats ridiculous. 2) many people have an issue with this because apparently Ryan had a wife and him sleeping with Emi is considered cheating and adultery. "That's a nice argument, Senator. Why don't you back it up with a source?" How do you know this? Is it because you heard it from someone else? Is it because you've read multiple people say it and therefore just assume it's true because everyone else says so? How do you know for sure if they know what they're talking about? From what I've read according to Emi's response on Twitter, Ryan and his wife had been divorced and she was single. There was no cheating or adultery going on. If you as me thats about as much of a primary source as you can get. While it's not perfect (it could be biased or skewed slightly), it sure does beat some random nobody on tiktok or drama channel in terms of authority. And excuse me if I'm misinformed (I really couldn't give a shit so don't even bother) but that's the major allegation against her and Ryan. I just couldn't sleep thinking there's some idiots running around spewing such toxic garbage without stopping and critically thinking about the situation for like two minutes. It's not that hard. Just look at who are the people involve and think about if you should believe all the information you're told. Common sense folks.
