Cause 4 kids were stubborn and replaced sonic with Jason griffith (my favorite sonic voice but I liked Ryan too) even though Ryan even said he'd pay but he didn't live in New York. Then a bunch of fans wouldn't shut up about sonic's new voice and got Rodger to do it who is sonic voice makes me think like a 40 year old trying to be hip with teens and Danny Phantom. He sounded great as Chris on resident evil but doesn't sound good for sonic(my opinion).
As of Sonic Colours, Sonic's new voice actor is Roger Craig Smith.
Amy Palant does the voice of Tails in the newer Sonic games and in the 4kids version of Sonic X.
Really, it depends on which show and games you're talking about. Like in the old freedom fighter sonic show, Jeleal White played the voice of sonic, but, in the new version in anime came out in 2007 on 4Kids tv Jason Griffith played his voice and also shadows. He also played the voice of both hedgehogs in Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic hereos, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Riders, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Riders 2 Zero Gravity, and so on...
Sonic the Hedgehog Dr. Robotnik for oodles.
Both characters have had multiple voice actors, both English and Japanese.Sonic:**English**- Ryan Drummond (1999-2004)- Jason Griffith (2005-2010)- Roger Craig Smith (2010-present)**Japanese**- Keiko Utoku (Sonic CD)- Takeshi Kusao (SegaSonic the Hedgehog)- Junichi Kanemaru (1998-present)Shadow:**English**- David Humphery (2001-2004)- Jason Griffith (2005-2010)- Kirk Thornton (2010-present)**Japanese**- Kouji Yusa (current)
Answer: in Sonic Adventure his first voice actor was Ryan Drummond he voiced for 3D sonic games until 2004. The new voice actor for the sonic games is Jason Anthony Griffth. As of 2008 when Ryan Drummond was in a Sega meeting, he said to fans that he will try to convince sega to bring him back. But right now I am not sure if he is coming back or not.
Sonic X is translated by 4Kids, so the original cast will not be voicing Sonic X.
The Japanese sonic voice actor is Takeshi Kusao, Masami Kikuchi but there are more. The English voice actors are Jaleel White, Tahj Mowry, Martin Burke, Samuel Vincent, Ryan Drummond, Jason Griffith
For the video games, Ryan Drummond did his voice from 1998-2004 and for 2005-the present, Sonic is voiced by Jason Anthony Griffith. For the cartoons AoStH, SatAM, and Sonic Underground he's voiced by Jaleel White (Steve Urkel). For the anime OVA he is voiced by Martin Burke and for Sonic X, he is voiced by Jason Anthony Griffith.
In the video games, Ryan Drummond was his first voice. Soon Jason Griffith made his voice. Now, Roger Craig Smith voices him. :)In the cartoons, Jaleel White voiced him in these shows: Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog: The Animated Series, and Sonic Underground. Jason Griffith also voiced Sonic in Sonic X. Martin Burkevoiced Sonic in Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie (OVA). So, we can tell here that Sonic has many voices so.......O.o that's all I have to say. Does that help?
Yes he was the voice for all three hedgehogs (Sonic, Sonia, and manic) in Sonic Underground, also the voice for Sonic in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic SatAM.
As of Sonic Colours, Sonic's new voice actor is Roger Craig Smith.

Gary Dehan plays the voice of metal sonic in 1999
today, sonic's voice actor is Roger Craig Smith, which makes sonic sound older like he's supposed to be.
