    Me personally..
    1. David - the best voice for shadow imo, especially when Shadow was still affected from his past.
    2. Jason - his take on Shadow voice was nice, i feel like it fit during when Shadow is slowly accepting his past.
    3. Ian - his voice for Shadow fit after he's no longer bound by the trama of his past and looking forward to protecting his new home.

    1. Ian Hanlin. Without a doubt, my favorite Shadow portrayal. He's got both the gruffness and the bass that Shadow needs, and he's got the most life in his voice out of all of them.
    2. Jason Griffith. His portrayal in Sonic X was a little weak, but he got a good grasp on the voice in Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 06. There's a reason his take is so iconic.
    3. David Humphries. He was at his strongest in Sonic Heroes. Honestly, I think he was underserved by the sound mixing in SA2, but he does a very good job in the most important scenes.
    4. Kirk Thornton. I don't think he's bad per se, but he hasn't had the best opportunities to show his skill. Even in the Sonic X Shadow Generations animation, though, I think he lacks some important grit to his voice to make him as versatile as the others.
    I think it would be unfair to rank Keanu Reaves since he's only been in one movie trailer so far, but I anticipate I will really like him.

    Ian Hanlin for sure!
    This is the first time Shadow actually sounds eloquent and intelligent. The others make him sound edgy but imo there is no depth to it (Keanu excluded because we haven't heard much of him yet).
    But I must say I did like the way Kirk voiced Shadow in the recent Sonic X Shadow Dark Generations episode. There was certain warmth to it that I really liked.

      There are many differences between a porcupine and a hedgehog. For example:
      Porcupines are rodents (hedgehogs aren't even rodents), they are much larger in size compared to them, their quills are long and they can be lowered and raised at will. They also don't curl up.

    I just adore David’s ability to make Shadow sound intimidating when he feels he needs to be, but softer and more emotional when he feels unsure or vulnerable or really anything other than angry. Jason and Kirk to me just sound too unnatural and forced. Ian was perfect for Shadow in Sonic Prime, since he was written as a much more confident, self-assured character, and really nailed it with Shadow’s growls and lower register too. I’m excited to hear Keanu’s Shadow performance, I think he has the potential to be a good mix of David’s emotional voice and Ian’s aggressive, confident voice.

    It’s hard to say. Jason Griffith I’ve been the most familiar with and is probably my favorite.
    David Humphrey is great, but it’s a shame he had a short run when Sonic’s transition to 3D was still rough.
    Kirk Thornton I didn’t like for a while but he really grew into the role and the recent shorts showed it.
    Ian Hanlin I think is secretly the best. He has the best range. And I can’t wait to see how Keanu voices Shadow. Very excited for the movie.

    David Humphrey in 1st, and Jason Griffith in 2nd. David’s best performance during his run was Sonic Heroes and Jason’s best performance during his run was Sonic and the Black Knight, and outside of that he was borderline perfect in S&TR.

    My ranking:
    5. Keanu Reeves: it just does not sit well with me yet
    4. David Humphrey: he has the smoothness and the mysterious vibe to it, but I wish the voice was deeper. The higher voice makes him sound a little whiny at times.
    3. Kirk Thornton: Definitely the most improved player. While it’s not perfect, as of Sonic X Shadow Generations, and possibly even Forces, his voice finally has Shadow’s smoothness. I also adore the personality in his voice, and the deepness is just right.
    2. Jason Griffith: I’ll concede: the former GOAT has been dethroned. I may have bias because his voice is so damn hard to match, but when he voices Shadow, the smoothness is perfect. He does a great job getting the edginess, yet calmness of his voice. My one gripe is that his edginess is a little over the top, and removes Shadow’s personality. I’ve noticed that when doing my Shadow voice with a Jason Griffith inflection.
    1. Ian Hanlin: This guy took the personality of Kirk, the mysterious vibe of David, and the smoothness of Jason, and gave us the best Shadow voice, as well as the first Shadow voice that I can remember which doesn’t feel like an outlier from the voices of the other Sonic characters.

    *1st Place David Humphrey*
    You can't be the first, the original, the best (and not even because of nostalgia). The smoothness, and the seriousness all mesh as one, and the play-off of Sonic's personality all working together is what made Shadow, Shadow.
    *2nd Place Ian Hanlin*
    After years of people changing Shadow and not knowing who he is supposed to be and what is supposed he to act like Ian comes close to bringing Shadow back to his former glory. But the voice is too griddy at times and the hip Gen Z lines don't help as it tries to force coolness on to his character.
    3rd Place Jason Griffith*
    Hum, well this guy sounds too much like Sonic.........
    You can hear it in his voice to offend and when he first showed up in Sonic X, he sounded like the Gentleman thief. While he's not bad, he just comes off as a little goofy.
    *4th Place Kirk Thornton but really last place*
    MAN!!!! This guy is terrible for Shadow's voice. I can't sugarcoat........Whenever you hear his voice it sounds like an evil cartoon villain out for REVENGE! Every line sounds worse and worse and the voice makes the personality far, far off from who and what Shadow is supposed to be. He's too dark, too cartoonist mad scientist, too gravelly, and too much of trying to be bad (in a way that makes you look cool....) to be taken seriously as Shadows's actual voice. Everybody who placed him before still tries to capture the smooth tone of Shadow's voice but NOT THIS GUY!
    *Keanu Reaves is Undecided*
    There have not been enough lines to make a full judgment on him yet.......

    Love this video concept. Definitely Ian as my favorite Shadow portrayal. Yes, Jason holds a place in my heart from X cartoon but Ian. . . The smugness, intelligence, edge but protectively determined. . . again Ian nailed Amy's Shadow!! Totally brings the Ultimate Lifeform to true life!! 😍😍🌸🌸

    I kept thinking that I didn't really like Shadow's voice in the movie, I thought it was dry, but after watching this video I realized. Unlike the other voices, Keanu's voice sounds too mature for Shadow, the others sounded stern and like a teenager or at least a 20-year-old guy, but in the movie Shadow really sounds like he's 50 or even older. 😅

    I Absolutely Love Jason Griffith as My All Time Favorite English Dub Voice Actor of Shadow the Hedgehog of the *Sonic* Games franchise throughout the years. I grew up with him, and he's still No.#1 as Shadow. I suppose David Humphrey and Kirk Thornton both Super Epic as Shadow the Hedgehog in the *Sonic Boom* franchise, and Ian Hanlin was Super Incredible and Remarkable as Shadow in *Sonic Prime.* Now THIS year in 2024, in only two months away from December, can't wait to see and hear Kaenu Reeves as the Ultimate Edge Lord Hedgehog in the Brand Newest *Sonic the Hedgehog 3* Live-Action Movie! 😄😁👍👍
