Rogue Dubs Sonic IDW EMERGENCY CASTING FOR SONIC.
D real 1 for Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic is a blue hedgehog with super speed. With a free spirit like the wind and an appetite for adventure, Sonic lives life according to his own rules, never concerned about fitting into any sort of mold. Sonic is driven by his own code of justice that compiles him to fight off any evil no matter how big it is, which often gets him into serious trouble. Sonic can be very reckless at times. He tends to act on impulse before making rational decisions. Regardless, these decisions come from good intentions. Sonic is a jokester with a big heart, always trying to find the light in even the darkest situations. He's optimistic and refuses to let himself or anyone around him give into despair.
For his voice, we are looking for something similar to that of Roger Craig Smith's voice. Specifically something along the lines of Forces and Frontiers. It doesn't have to be exact, but somewhere within that ballpark. Above all, the actor must be able to convey a wide range of emotions. Sonic is a very emotional character in this comic and the actor must be able to capture all of Sonic's personality, from his highs and lows.

(Excited) Let's go see if we can find some answers! (10 minutes later, pretty much exhausted and board out of his mind) It's impossible, this place never ends.
(Talking to Surge, still in a more "happier" tone but much more serious and grounded. He's trying to reason with her) I live for the moment. I want to see the world, find all its thrills and adventures, and enjoy them. I want everyone to have the freedom to do that, too. And you wouldn't get that opportunity if I took it away from you. I've made peace with enough enemies to know there is a better way. So I'm willing to chalk this up to "a rocky start" and let us have a do-over if you will.
(Worn out, tired, Sonic in this scene is pretty much close to his breaking point. It is taking every ounce of him to stay hopeful) Oh man...I did exactly what Tails warned me NOT to do...I didn't protect the data-reader. I haven't been able to protect my friends. I put my faith in the idea that everyone has a LITTLE good in them, and Eggman's made me pay for it every day...but I CAN'T give up. I've got to protect my friends who are still safe. I've got to find a way to save the ones who got infected. I've screwed up-A LOT- but I still have time to make things right. I feel like I'm going to collapse, though. Is this what everyone feels like after a run...?
