Sorry for the late response.

I'm glad they're holding onto Mike with the new VA casting, he does a great job, though he seems a little warmer than Bistro's version. Less oldman.

I'd love to hear someone new take the role, maybe give him something of a Vincent Price touch to his voice.

Im pissed for Tails, Cream and Charmy, as they need to be voiced by REAL children as if not their vocals are very limited.

While I don't disagree necessarily, child actors are rarely good.

Also, iirc Tails WAS voiced by a child in Sonic Heroes and his voice was panned by the majority of Sonic fans out there. I myself liked his voice as he finally sounded like the kid I imagined him to be.

Plus he sounds like a robot in SA2.

More that child actors are famously hard to work with, more so in voice acting. It's much more common to have a woman play a young boy like Ash Ketchum or Son Goku, even in other countries this is the case.

That said when they do get it right it's always good, like with the Iron Giant.

Also that's a little unfair to call them whores just for taking a job.

Not true, if I thought real kids didn't have talent I'd have to presume that no child actors are good, and thus wouldn't actually like Iron Giant, since the main character in that is a real kid...or was (he's gotta be 18 or something by now).

My point was, and is, that often in movies and TV shows featuring roles played by children extensively the product in question will often suffer from the child actors involved not being up to the task. This is something that is observed so much that there's a saying in acting "Never work with children or animals" because of how difficult it can be.

I don't think for one instant that their aren't good or great child actors, nor do I think real kids can't or don't have talent.

But the ones im talking about have some practice.
1. They make the character belivable, impressing other cast members therefore they are rewarded.
Dont work with children... unless theyve practiced and arent TOO young... 8-12 i good. (exept kaitlyn maher, she was EXELLENT in santa buddies and only 5! yes the movie itself still sucked)
2. Even if aged women can get high pitch 90% of the time they sound fake as the soft pre-adolescent vocal system cant be duplicable
friends?

I agree, on both counts, but like I said, finding an actor who can fake the lines and be good enough is easier than finding a child who's perfect for the role.

Part of Tails' problem is that he's a boy genius, and often has to say something rather complicated, like he did in SA2 quite a lot. Couple this with SEGA's incredible ability to take an awesome VA like Mark Hamil and STILL have a crappy dub I think going with the easier option is best for them, imo at least.

And I'm happy to keep things friendly.

He died of the 15th of January this year, I think he was in his late 50s though I'm not sure.

And thank you.
