To be honest, Blaze is probably one of the few Sonic characters that never has an bad voice actress. Alot of them did such an good job on her for given her personality and tone that I imagine that's how she is. Now I will always have an soft spot for Bella Hudson. But the others still did an damn good job on her.
Same with Espio. Although Bill Corkery is my favorite Espio, I enjoy the takes of the others, especially Troy Baker, who imo I found to sound the most unique and find to be quite fitting for Espio’s character. That also even includes David Wills, even though the 4Kids cast is my least favorite cast so far. I had no complaints with his performance and I find David Wills to be one of the only pure 4Kids actors (those that voiced their character in both the anime and games and wasn’t kept unlike Mike Pollock) that I actually like (although Lisa Ortiz is growing on me as Amy but whatever.)
Erica Shroeder is my favorite. She has a slight edge that the others seem to lack. Lindbeck is my second favorite. Wow, I just realized, 2 Ericas. Huh.
The Erica's are the best. I feel like they give off the more fierce and harshness of blaze. In the Japanese version, she's always had a more "tomboyish" voice. Mature but still ready to fight and a bit proud too. I think it suits her more.
I like Laura Bailey and Erica Lindberg. I do like Blaze mainly because she's a purple cat and pretty, but she would be one of my favorites females if she appeared in a TV series.
BakuGOAT definitely, Knuckles and Silver now sound completely different and it just doesn’t work. If Mike, Cindy and Colleen go, there will be no hope left
My favourite voice actress is Erica Schroeder especially from those early games which 4Kids handled. Laura Bailey comes in second she has a nice sexy tone to Blaze. Erica Lindbeck is pretty decent and one of the better replacements from that game she also has that sexy tone which Laura had.
Erica Lindback also voiced Black Cat from Marvel’s Spiderman 1 & 2, Cassie Cage from Mortal Kombat 11, Jessie from FF7 Remake, and Chilae from Dragonball Super: Broly.
I think what I like with Blaze’s voice actresses is that they’re pretty consistent in portraying what Blaze would sound like from her personality. You can definitely spot and compare differences in tone, but somehow you just can’t help but feel they all resemble each other in someway and manage to keep her personality and tone intact compared to say Sonic, Shadow, Silver, and Amy for example.
she hasnt appeared in a non spinoff sonic game since 2011..... last time she was playable was 2009 in black knight, even then some say thats a spinoff, including spin offs she was playable in team sonic racing.
Erica Shroeder huh? I always recognized her under the name Bella Hudson for Blaze. Interesting. Honestly, they all sound the same which I really like. But if I had to choose, it'd be Laura Bailey because I was excited to hear Laura Bailey voiced a Sonic character and sad to hear she wasn't anymore. lol
Schroeder is my favorite purely out of nostalgia as Rush is a game I poured so many hours of my childhood into but I'll applaud the fact that this is one of the few Sonic characters who's voice actors all sound consistent with each other
I liked Erica Shroder she had that edge and the slick remarks like in Sonic Winter Olympic 2009 and Sonic Riders Zero Gravity. She was the reason i love Blaze so much, she just cold. Now it seem like with the new voice actors Blaze lost her swag
Yeah, I just found out about that too. Kinda weird and yet, the deepness of her voice fits very well. Maybe Nao's role as Blaze is what caused Asagi to be recasted after Taimanin Asagi Series 1 & 2 due to lack of availability, or just conflicting agendas.
I tried an AI tts for Blaze the Cat... it didnt sound too good but oh well 🤣 Erica Schroeder's voice is REALLY good but I wonder if there will someday be an even better voice for Blaze, maybe by a fan or someone. I hope the aspiring voice actors of my generation will surpass those that came before (same goes with all creators as a whole). ✨ Anyways lol, sorry for the off-topic comment! 😓
Fun Fact: Nao Takamori was also the original Voice Actress for Asagi Igawa in the R-18 OAV series Taimanin Asagi until she was recasted. (Note: I am unaware of the reasoning behind said recasting decision, but as far as what I did find, it was not on bad terms)
I actually like Lindbeck but I don't think any of the VAs fit the character. I always imagined a more mature and serious sounding voice would fit Blaze better. Something like Anna Graves (Naoto Shirogane from Persona 4's original voice actor)
4 and 3: Laura Bailey and Erica Lindbeek (They sound identical to me, they're both...Above average) 2: Erica Schroader (Almost perfect) 1: Nao Takamori (What I hear when I think of Blaze)
I’m just gonna say this but the Japanese voices are slightly overrated. People like you are always going on about how perfect they are and how ‘unfaithful’ the English casts are to the games. I like the Japanese voices as much as the next guy, but for people who don’t speak or understand Japanese, the English casts are sometimes better to listen to except for Sonic X and the early Dark Era games. X and those games are the only times where it’s 100% worth playing the game in Japanese due to the abysmal acting and direction-well, at least imo.
A quick note for this comparison. The clips used for Linbeck in this are totally not hers, they are from Laura Bailey when she voiced Blaze in the London Olympics taking over Schroeder. Its pretty misleading , theres no Erica Lindbeck clips in this video.
I think the erica one is the worst one, it sounds too edgy when she is supposed to be more chill in team racing, (but it would perfectly fit in sonic rush ngl)
Happy Birthday Mari Ohara. UR very beautiful, baby, Bow Chicka Bow Wow. LOL. Love u Mari, Aqours r amazing. May the Peace be with u Mari Ohara. June 13, 2024
1. Bailey, its perfect (and also its Laura Bailey so its gotta be good) 2. Shroeder, She's the og, and Shroeder gives Blaze a somewhat smug edge 3. Lindbeck, not a bad replacement for Bailey, but I imagine it would sound better if she had more to work with
Laura Bailey and Erica Lincbeck sound very similar, I like both but Erica Schroeder all the way because she sounds so good in Black Knight plus her voice clips from Rush and Rush Adventure are nice. The clips used in this video are a bad example of Schroeder
Man I,m I the only one who has a Crush on this character Cause Blaze is Smoking Hot and hope she appears in other Games! Anyway I Love her voice in Generations and TSR!!!
Fun fact: Nao Takamori was also the original Voice Actress for Asagi Igawa in the R-18 Taimanin Asagi series before she was recasted.

To be honest, *every* voice actress sounds pretty good!
Yeah. Blaze probably has the best voice acting than any other Sonic characters. Not an single one of them did an bad job.
@@jjc4924 *a
An is for words that start with a vowel (except the vowels u and y)

Yeah. I agree

@@theaboveaveragefangirl. Exactly!
Erica Schroeder was my favorite Blaze voice.
Her voice fit Blaze perfectly.
@@destinycybermic6930. What?
I really like all three voice actress of Blaze so much because they all sound alike.
Laura Bailey and Erica Lindbeck have a formal, polished sound to them, perfectly matching Blaze's personality.
I like Laura Bailey and Erica Lindberg. I do like Blaze mainly because she's a purple cat and pretty, but she would be one of my favorites females if she appeared in a TV series.
Lindbeck is probably the only voice change in TSR I like.

@@alidexy7760 I have a feeling Sega will try to keep Pollock around for as long as possible, since he's the most popular of the English VAs.
@@alidexy7760 I want Mike and Colleen to remain
@@alidexy7760 well cindy left
yeaaah, but… i think Michelle Ruff could’ve been a better choice…
I still say Erica Schroeder is the best Blaze the Cat. The rest are okay.
To be honest, alot of them are good and not an single one of them didn't do an bad job.
None of them did a poor job but Laura to me is the best.
My favourite voice actress is Erica Schroeder especially from those early games which 4Kids handled.
Laura Bailey comes in second she has a nice sexy tone to Blaze.
Erica Lindbeck is pretty decent and one of the better replacements from that game she also has that sexy tone which Laura had.
Did you know? Laura Bailey is also Lucina's voice in Fire Emblem!
Oh, and Erica Lindbeck voices Celica from Echoes.
That's right
She also voiced Rise from Persona 4 too!
Yes
She is also Abby is Last of Us 2 in which she won a game award over that performance
Erica Lindback also voiced Black Cat from Marvel’s Spiderman 1 & 2, Cassie Cage from Mortal Kombat 11, Jessie from FF7 Remake, and Chilae from Dragonball Super: Broly.

I just love all of the Blaze Voice Actors.
she hasnt appeared in a non spinoff sonic game since 2011..... last time she was playable was 2009 in black knight, even then some say thats a spinoff, including spin offs she was playable in team sonic racing.
All of the voice actresses do really well with the regal yet feisty cattitude Blaze has. Hopefully she will be utilized more in future games.
Blaze is one of the few Sonic characters that has yet to have a bad voice.
Erica Shroeder huh? I always recognized her under the name Bella Hudson for Blaze. Interesting.
Honestly, they all sound the same which I really like. But if I had to choose, it'd be Laura Bailey because I was excited to hear Laura Bailey voiced a Sonic character and sad to hear she wasn't anymore. lol
I love... ALL OF THEM
I can't choose they were all good.
Same.
Is that you Futaba?
Schroeder is my favorite purely out of nostalgia as Rush is a game I poured so many hours of my childhood into but I'll applaud the fact that this is one of the few Sonic characters who's voice actors all sound consistent with each other
funny how her two most recent english VAs are the VAs of the navigators from p4 and p5, rise and futaba
I find funny that Silver is inspired by Future Trunks and Blaze was voice by Laura Bailey, Kid Trunks' VA
They all sound fine
1:15 Aren’t those Bailey’s voice clips from Mario Sonic London?
0:27 0:28 0:48 1:14 if there might be Sonic 4, most likely that Blaze will appear too. If so, I hope she’ll be voiced by Hailee Steinfeld.
Sonic Rush was my introduction to her so i’ll always be thankful for it
Japanese is fine
Plus in overall value all the English voices sound the same
AmbZaNi Idk yeah that’s true
I liked Erica Shroder she had that edge and the slick remarks like in Sonic Winter Olympic 2009 and Sonic Riders Zero Gravity. She was the reason i love Blaze so much, she just cold. Now it seem like with the new voice actors Blaze lost her swag
Dats. Actually, none of them are bad. Yeah. I will always have an soft spot for Bella Hudson. But Laura, Erica & others were pretty good.
Fun Fact

Nao Takamori also voiced Igawa Asagi
Yeah, I just found out about that too. Kinda weird and yet, the deepness of her voice fits very well.
Maybe Nao's role as Blaze is what caused Asagi to be recasted after Taimanin Asagi Series 1 & 2 due to lack of availability, or just conflicting agendas.

Funny how Blazes current actress is playing a cat when she is also voicing a hound.
My favourite is the Japanese one

Fun fact:
Nao Takamori was also the original Voice Actress for Asagi Igawa in the R-18 OAV series Taimanin Asagi before her recast.
I'm more familiar with Erica Schroeder's voice as Blaze compared to the others, but I think Erica Lindbeck does a pretty good job as well.
I actually like Lindbeck but I don't think any of the VAs fit the character. I always imagined a more mature and serious sounding voice would fit Blaze better. Something like Anna Graves (Naoto Shirogane from Persona 4's original voice actor)
Actually, I think all of them did an really good job.
Nah man, Schroeder was a great fit for Blaze. Her JP VA too.
Nah, all of them fit and Laura Bailey actually suits Blaze.
It's sad Knuckles and Blaze got replace
They were probably busy with their kid or something. Do they have a kid?
@@Axxidous I don't think any of them have a kid
@@jillwarrior0756 No they did. Travis Willingham (Knuckles/Storm/Zavok) and Laura Bailey (Blaze, Omochao) had a son named Ronin.
Scott Drier is the best knuckles
@@mason2978 Indeed
THANK YOUUUU
I want her robe
Nice to know that va for Black Cat(Erica Lindbeck) and Mary Jane Watson(Laura Bailey) both voiced Blaze the Cat.
Lindbeck's Blaze is a bit... Shadow.
My favorite is Laura Bailey because she so cute as blaze the cat
Personal actresses voice ranking for Blaze:
1- Laura Bailey
2- Erica Lindbeck
3- Nao Takamori
4- Erica Schroeder (aka, Bella Hudson)
Why Bella Hudson last? But I agree that Laura is the best.
4 and 3: Laura Bailey and Erica Lindbeek (They sound identical to me, they're both...Above average)
2: Erica Schroader (Almost perfect)
1: Nao Takamori (What I hear when I think of Blaze)
I love that she’s voiced by one of the female voices from Saints Row 3 and 4.
It would be so Dope if Arryn Zech voiced Blaze the Cat.
Erica's Blaze kinda sounds like a female version of Jason's Sonic, which......... actually kinda fits
i feel like erica's voice fits her best
That isnt even a contest to me. Takamori all the way
She was also the original voice of Asagi Igawa in the R-18 OAV series Taimanin Asagi before her recast.
I’m just gonna say this but the Japanese voices are slightly overrated. People like you are always going on about how perfect they are and how ‘unfaithful’ the English casts are to the games.

I did not know Erica lindbeck not only voiced loona but also voice blaze gee you learn something everyday.
The last one is not Erica. Thats still Laura Bailey
So I never knew Erica Lindbeck voiced Blaze the only roll Ik her from I’d Loona from helluva Boss. Which ngl that’s fucking awesome.
Erica Schroeder is the best blaze
They all do pretty good, but if I have to choose, I say Erica Schroeder
Laura Bailey is the lovely voice Blaze the Cat. 💜🐱🥰
To be honest of all her voice actress,Laura Bailey deserves the 1st place.
Erica and Nao are really fitting
A quick note for this comparison. The clips used for Linbeck in this are totally not hers, they are from Laura Bailey when she voiced Blaze in the London Olympics taking over Schroeder. Its pretty misleading , theres no Erica Lindbeck clips in this video.
Erica Schroeder, Laura Bailey, and Erica Lindbeck
What are some of those voice clips? The sound sketch
Fun fact!
Erica Lindbeck, current voice of Blaze, voiced Emira Blight and currently voices Loona from Helluva Boss!
She also voices Black Cat on Spider-Man PS4, I think.

I think the erica one is the worst one, it sounds too edgy when she is supposed to be more chill in team racing, (but it would perfectly fit in sonic rush ngl)
You’re referring to Schroeder?
And also Blaze is technically supposed to have an edge to her voice, and you know just why.
@@JustAnAverageSonicFan But not that much
Bailey and Lindbeck for me. They sound more… regal and sophisticated. She’s a princess who wanted to face her problems alone after all.
(And me)
Erica Shroeder and Erica Lindbeck are absolutely the best Blaze VAs
Blaze has the same voice actor as looms from helluva boss
If pakunoda and tsunade
were both locked in a wrestling match
Blaze the cat and loona the hellhound share a voice actress. Thats awesome.
My Opinion:
4th - Erica Lindbeck
3rd - Laura Bailey
2nd - Nao Takamori
1st - Erica Schroeder
All of them are great imo.
1:14 those are Laura Bailey's voice clips not Erica Lindbeck's.
Kid Trunks? is that you?
Happy Birthday Mari Ohara. UR very beautiful, baby, Bow Chicka Bow Wow. LOL. Love u Mari, Aqours r amazing. May the Peace be with u Mari Ohara. June 13, 2024
All 3 sound great here's my ranking
1: Laura Bailey
2: Erica Lindbeck
3: Erica Schroeder
1. Bailey, its perfect (and also its Laura Bailey so its gotta be good)
2. Shroeder, She's the og, and Shroeder gives Blaze a somewhat smug edge
3. Lindbeck, not a bad replacement for Bailey, but I imagine it would sound better if she had more to work with
all of them!
All are good, but I miss Erica Schroeder as Blaze.
Blaze is probably the only consistent character in the Sonic series
blaze the cat do sonic
All of her voice actors look similar and have similar hair!😄🤩😎👌
To be honest I like all of them!
Imagine Erica Schroeder And Pete Capella Was Being Voice As Their Characters :D
Laura Bailey and Erica Lincbeck sound very similar, I like both but Erica Schroeder all the way because she sounds so good in Black Knight plus her voice clips from Rush and Rush Adventure are nice. The clips used in this video are a bad example of Schroeder
Man I,m I the only one who has a Crush on this character Cause Blaze is Smoking Hot and hope she appears in other Games!
Anyway I Love her voice in Generations and TSR!!!
1. Erica Schroder (When she's talking normally)
2. Erica Lindbeck
3. Laura Bailey
4. Erica Schroder (In yelling, screaming, intense, etc' scenes)
Penny Parker, of course
Erica Schroeder is the most iconic to me.
Honestly someone like Kelly Sheridan I could see working out, sure she's canadian and all, but the rest don't sound like doing mutch for this part.
Erica Schroeder is the best in my opinion
Weird. Two people named Erica played Blaze.
1: Laura Bailey. (Best!)
2: Erica Schroeder/Erica Lindbeck (Not Bad, Really Good)
All of them are great, but I think Erica Schroeder is my personal favorite.
Nao's portrayal sounds more deeper than bella,laura or erika
nao takamori love the deepness to her voice I think erica schroeder also adds a nice edge I also like the the smoothness laura bailey did tho.
Fun fact: Nao Takamori was also the original Voice Actress for Asagi Igawa in the R-18 Taimanin Asagi series before she was recasted.
(Note: I don't know why she was recasted, but it was not on bad terms as far as I know. It was either due to lack of availability at the time or the company had different plans)
I love you blaze
