Voice Compare » Sonic the Hedgehog » Amy Rose
Comparision of the voice over actors who have been the voice of Amy Rose with sound clips and images.
Amy Rose is the leader of Team Rose and has a huge crush on Sonic. Even though she has a small stature, Amy can wield an enormous hammer and can be easily angered.

Special thanks to NCZ for additional sound clips.
EDITOR'S OPINION
Amy Rose, whom is supposed to be the original love interest for Sonic (well in the games if that matters to you). Amy's first VA role was actually done by an English speaker in her debut game premiere Sonic CD (granted a Japanese residing English speaking VA) but nevertheless she was voiced by Lynn "Soul Edge Sophitia" Harris.Video games that use English speaking VA talent in Japan like Lynn normally don't have a good reputation, well voice acting wise such as in games like Resident Evil, Castlevania Symphony of the Night and more. But despite this I wouldn't be surprised if you were curious anyways however all what Amy did in that game was just a brief yelp early in the game when she is captured and that's it and that's pretty much why she doesn't have a clip here.
However her modern and more substantial English voice acting debut came in the late 90's Sonic Adventure where she was voiced by Jennifer Douillard. Jen is certainly not bad as she does do a fairly high cutesy voice that is suiting for the role, not one of my fave performances at the time but certainly not bad.
Jennifer has been voicing the character until 2005 when 4Kids got to dub Sonic X in which was voiced by Lisa Ortiz. While I did like Jennifer's handiwork in the games when it comes to New York VA talent, Lisa was pretty much perfect for the role all things considered. Lisa Ortiz is well known for doing cutesy fairly higher voices well and this is no exception as her work did certainly fit Amy rather well.
I know that VA comparisons are a bit of a touchy subject in Sonic's fandom (thought to be fair its certainly not the only fandom with a problem like that). But while I certainly did like both I am going with Lisa Ortiz a bit more here.

Jennifer wins my vote hands down. True she isn't an amazing voice but I just thought it fit her perfectly. Lisa is meh... I mean, she's not bad but I just didn't care for it. Plus, since Amy had much more screentime on Sonic X, you had to hear her more and honestly (no offense to the VA), I thought she sounded annoying, especially when she yelled. But like I said, Lisa isn't bad, I really enjoyed her work in Pokemon but I just didn't like her voice for Amy.
However, Cindy's is much worse... She sounds way too high. She sounds like a Minnie Mouse clone. So uh... Yeah, I'll take Lisa over Cindy.
1. Jennifer
2. Lisa
3. Cindy
Amy is a character I have a like/hate relationship. Like because she is fierce, strong, and deep down has a good heart but hate or rather, dislike because I don't like how overboard she goes over Sonic. If she lightened up some, maybe Sonic would stick around and possibly date her haha. But yeah, she is an okay character. :)

1. Lisa Ortiz-Surprised I'm going with 4Kids on this one, considering how much I despise them, but Lisa did well with capturing Amy's personality and really caught her flirty side.
2. Jennifer Douillard-Though not really great with VAing, she was a lot of fun to listen to and got Amy's spirited side quite well
3. Cindy Robinson-.....Do I even need to say anything? She sucks. No better way to put it. That voice REALLY gets on my nerves.

Jen's voice sounds the most natural and I like the "flighty valley girl" portrayal she gives, but I think Lisa was just hilarious! Almost every time her Amy was on scene a smile would just appear on my face. Definitely one of the few casting decisions 4kids didn't manage to screw up. Cindy I gotta hear more from but it sounds like she's improving.

Edork42 said at 3:44 AM on Fri Sep 28 2012
I'm so in between Lisa and Jennifer for my favorite Amy because both were so good in their own ways. Jennifer sounds more natural and very much so like a city girl, even though her acting was iffy at times like in SA2. Heroes I thought she was perfect, really giving Amy more of an energetic, determined edge and no longer making her come off as an annoying third wheel or a dumbass in distress.
While Lisa really doesn't have much range in terms of acting for other things like Pokemon and Ratatoing, I think Amy is her best role. No matter how dull the 4kids cast were in the anime or games like Riders and Sonic 06, you could always bet she'd be the only thing to look forward to seeing because she was so funny and could breath life into any boring, tedious scene she was in (character, personality, words that the rest of the cast must have never learned). I'm really upset Sega didn't decide to renew her contract along with Mike; to this day she's the only 4kids actor I miss.
Cindy's acting is good, but her voice is way to high and cartoonish for me to get into. She's getting better so I'll give her some more time and who knows, maybe by the next game she'll finally have Amy's voice down to a T.

Lisa Ortiz sounded clear, non-compressed, and perfect in every way. It's a shame her contract won't let her voice Amy anymore in the games. :(
Jennifer did a good job as the starter, but her voice seemed a little flat. And as for Cindy, even a 7-year old girl could do a better job.

Jennifer does a good job as Amy, she gives out one of the most emotional performance of any of the original Sonic cast. A pity she doesn't do any more voice overs as I feel that she would make an excellent career as a voice actress.
Lisa is one of my favorite NY based voice actors out there and Amy is a prime example of her talent as a voice actress. She has a high pitch which fits for Amy and for a pitch like that, she was able to bring in a surprising amount of emotion for Amy.
Cindy sounds way too much like Minnie Mouse, in fact, I first thought they hired the voice actress of Minnie to do Amy when I first heard her in Free Riders. I will say that she has greatly improved in Sonic Generations but still has a long ways to go.

One more top 3 today.
1. Lisa Ortiz- Lisa perfected the role of Amy, both her voice and her acting were perfect here. They should have kept her as Amy, personally I think they didn't because it would have been inconvenient for Lisa since she works mainly in New York City and Studiopolis is in Los Angeles.
2. Cindy Robison- Her acting seems great, but the voice she puts out simly isn't as good as Lisa's, so I guess the tie breaker goes to her. A very good replacement on Studiopolis' part though.
3. Jennifer Douillard- Mediocre voice, mediocre acting, over all mediocre performance. Still, mediocre's good for dead last.

@TheUltimatePhantom1 The sources I found for Sonic being 20 in Generations were from random gaming sites and not from Sega themselves, so I'm taking "Generations is five years later" rumour with a grain of salt.
Besides, aging is inconsistent in Sonic anyway. Between Sonic and Knuckles and Adventure, Amy aged four years, Knuckles aged one year, and Sonic went down a year.

@NCZ How do the Sonic characters have a picnic celebration Sonic's 20th Anniversary, and he's still 15? That makes no sense..
ReplyNCZ (Admin) said at 6:28 AM on Wed Oct 19 2011
@TheUltimatePhantom1 Considering that it's the Sonic Colours writers, it's probably a meta thing. He might not literally be twenty.

@NCZ What "Meta Thing", exactly are you driving at?
ReplyNCZ (Admin) said at 11:10 PM on Sat Nov 12 2011
@TheUltimatePhantom1 Now that Generations is out, I can confirm that the rumour about Sonic turning 20 (and thus, everyone else aging five years) is false. They're just celebrating Sonic's birthday. They don't give a specific age. Considering how everybody looks about the same, it definitely isn't his 20th.

@NCZ In DBZ, some of the characters also look the same, and it's been like, 13 years..

@TheUltimatePhantom1 How about we all just say that he's 16. Due to the fact that he just had his birthday in Sonic Generations.

#1 Jennifer Douillard
The original Adventure voice cast was (at least in most cases) the best, and Jennifer was no exception. She did an excellent job, bringing lots of love and energy to her performance. She also sounds the most natural and realistic, originally leading me to forget it wasn't actually done by a teenager! Most importantly, you can feel the nice chemistry between her Amy and Ryan's Sonic. Plus, hers stands out even more as Amy's the only VA role she's done.
#2 Lisa Ortiz
I love her voice a lot too, almost as much as Jennifer's. She wasn't too distinctive in the role, but her voice definitely worked out very well nontheless. My main criticisms are just her relative lack of originality and her monotone temper tantrum. Amy sounded upset or frustrated pretty much all the time, but then again, that IS the way character has been in her modern depictions and at least Lisa delivered on that. All in all, a great voice, and definitely one of the best of the 4Kids cast. She will be greatly missed indeed, and as you will know how I feel about the new voice in a moment, you'll understand why.
#3 Cindy Robinson
I'm very sure everyone would be in agreement here. Cindy was horribly miscast in this role. Apparently someone at Studiopolis forgot to remind her that THIS IS AMY ROSE, NOT MINNIE MOUSE! Sorry, but Cindy's was just beyond ear-raping horrendous, and the only one of the new cast that I just can't stand.
You want to know what the really sad and disappointing part is? A GUY can imitate Cindy's voice. Sad, just sad.

If this is so, they might as well hire a guy to do the voice in future installments...

While I singlehandingly hate 4Kids's own soul, the one thing I won't nerd rage on are the company's own voice cast; most have talent, others are a bit mediocre at times... Therefore I will say that Lisa Ortiz was no doubt the best Amy voice I have heard, right next to Taeko Kawata, that's for sure. Then again, I grew up with hearing Jennifer Douillard's performance more, considering I used to own both Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle on the Gamecube... All I can say for that is: She could pull off emotion, even if it sounded too dry at times.
Perhaps that leaves only Cindy Robinson: why, yes, she can get the emotion down, but the problem is in the tone... It sounds too similar to Minnie Mouse almost all the time, and it can even make my ears bleed. In fact, I am tempted to say she has down better roles for, say, Kukaku Shiba for the english dub of Bleach and then Makoto Nanaya from Blazblue: Continuum Shift... Unless if the latter role was done by someone other than Robinson, I dunno. Overall, it's not that I detested Cindy's performance, but she could've improved a bit more on the tone and then some.

1. Lisa - She was okay in Sonic X, but man did she get that "crazy-yet-sweet girl who wants to be Sonic's boyfriend no matter how much he resists her" role down as time went by.
2. JenJen - She really went for that cutesy girl type role and pulled it off.
3. Cindy - Really sounds much too much like a young Minnie Mouse; doesn't really fit with the mannerisms of the character herself. (But she'll get better over time, okay?)

Jenny Jen is my fave though I'm starting to like Cindy even though it sound Minnie Mousish. I know she can improve on that .
Lisa had an okay one but when I looked over some of the old Sonic x Episodes and some of hte games I kinda found her version of Amy somewhat Annoying. Especially with scenes when she cries out Sonic. But then again it's just a recent nitpick. Also her voice is Kinda overrated as well. so Jenny for my fave.

My list:
1. Lisa Ortiz
Out of all the 4kids cast, Lisa was one of the few voices actors that I thought was properly casted. Ever since Sonic X, she did a good job as Amy. At first I thought she sounded annoying when shouting in Amy's voice, but this is the script writer and voice director's fault and not Lisa's, I think. When she doesn't show Amy's extremely hot tempered side (which I can't stand), she otherwise did great with showcasting Amy's other emotions. I noticed she does make Amy a bit squeaky, which could be a nuisance to a few people. But I got used to it after a while, and think it suits her.
Overall, I liked Lisa's voice, and this may be the only 4kids voice I might miss, and I'll explain why later...
2. Jennifer Douillard
Jennifer comes close to Lisa in terms good quality and tone for Amy. I noticed that she makes Amy sound somewhat natural compared to Lisa. It's a high pitched voice, no doubt, but it didn't sound slightly squeaky like Lisa's does. I think that tone suits Amy fine as well, really. The only reason why I rank Jenny below Lisa is because her acting was mediocre, but mostly in the Sonic Adventure games. But when voice directed properly, she's very good with the role.
3. Cindy Robinson
I'll try to be as respectful as possible. Cindy was not a good choice for Amy's voice. I'm not sure what the casting directers were thinking in hiring her as Amy. It's too Minnie Mouse-like for my liking, and I think it's very unfitting for the character. I seriously hope they replace her, but that probably won't happen anytime soon. Lisa and Jennifer were much more fitting for the job than Cindy is.

Lisa kinda made her sound a little more mature but during Sonic x Amy was everywhere that I sort found it annoying to here her, but it toned down a notch to where I liked it in unleashed. It's just time, they improve over time. I'm hoping Cindy does step up her A game though. She sounds like Minnie mouse and I hope she does get better so these pointless VA wars can like start to die down a bit

Lisa Oritz was the best Amy voice for me it fitted most than others
She gave Amy a strong,quite high pitched and mature voice which Amy should have it too connected to the character's personality it was more sweet sounding and rage sounding when angry XD those bits were funny futhermore Lisa made Amy somewhat Kinds,sweet,caring, natural brave,angry,funny and smart at the same time I like Amy's character more in Sonic X that way she was able to express her feelings deeply and solefully and Lisa nailed those perfomrances capturing every bit,presense,emotion,behavior and texture in the character and The scenes with Sonic are just laughable XD
I feel Amy didn't get much spotlight in the games and Lisa didn't either well she kinda did though Amy appeared in most games but mainly a supporting character and a battle player or cameo in the storybook series It's a shame the character didn't get much serious dialogue but I liked her in all peformances the best ones are...
Sonic X, Zero Gravity, 06, Unleashed and Black Knight also as the Lady Of The Lake and lol the ending I am disappointed 4Kids didn't voice the characters in Chronicles the lines were funny and the story was laughable especially Amy I wish lisa would have voiced her back then but looks like they didn't sigh If only
Lisa Oritz is the best Amy vocie for me :)
Jennifer Douillard comes second in my list she definately gave the Amy voice though she was a bit less high ptiched but still a little bit high though she sounds more natural too Her best peformance was uh.....actually let me scrape that part out the thing She lacked for Amy was in early performances most lines sounded fake mainly Shuffle and she sorta made a her a bit annoying when she appeared in scenes but she did a fine job though she still needed more time to develop just like all the people in the Original cast cept for Deem Bristow he was already good (R.I.P)
Best lines/perfomrances - SA2, Some in Adventure
Uhh Cindy Robinson O_O....
Okay I'll be honest she's doing a terrible job at the moment
The voice is more high pitched it is as high as Cream but a bit worser, The acting is okay but not good enough at the moment I've heard her in Both Free Riders and The DS Version of Colours I'm afraid I don't like her yet perhaps in time she will improve but to improve she needs to get rid of that high voice lower it down like Lisa and Jen did I'm not too keen on any of the voices yet but surely they will improve in the future but for now I think I will leave Cindy out It's just the voice that's the problem the lines and acting don't really make it better
1)Lisa Oritz
2) Jennifer Douillard

Cindy is last for now....but hopefully she will improve in time It's just not working out for me at the moment...

Actually, Jennifer Douillard was 11 or 12 when she first voiced Amy. So the two were just about the same age.
Also, I think Lisa sounding more aggressive has something to do with the writing. Sonic Heroes was goofy, Amy was on the sidelines in SA2, so she only got to show off her "independent fighting" side in Sonic Adventure. Whereas when Lisa voiced the character, Amy seemed to get mad all the time.

Lisa was the best Amy voice for me she gave Amy emotion and passion for how she feels and gave her mores strength she was great on every game but her best performances were Sonic X and Black Knight she did one of the most eventful performances She should be proud of her work she has done well these last 7 years good Luck for future roles Lisa I will really miss her as Amy
Jen was good but some perofmrances were a bit out of place but she was listenable and good unlike Cindy shes too squeaky almost as sqeuaky as Cream's last V/As O_o she has to tone it down in future games

Why don't SEGA just get a 12 year old child actress to voice Amy?!
All three of them are middle aged women trying to portray a preteen with a crush; and they make Amy sound too stereotypical all the time. Same with Cream, how often do you get a 6 year old sounding like they're on helium?
Out of all of them, Lisa's is the least 'OMG! I love you Sonniku!', and gives Amy the edge she has; her character isn't just a lovesick Sonic fangirl, she's an independant fighter too.

@huskydreams You took those words right out of my mouth...4Kids normally does so much worse at casting VAs for the English dubs of anything.
But yeah, I forgot to mention earlier that it would have been for the best if SEGA kept Lisa, it's just that I suggested Tara, Kate or Michele in case SEGA felt like they just HAD to recast the role for God-knows-what reason.

A Lisa Ortiz voice doesn't work and she's my favorite voice for Amy! I don't really like Cindy's version. D8 Jennifer Douillard was awesome too.

@purplewarrior I agree with you...except for your last statement. No offense, but Cindy is TERRIBLE. I mean, SEGA could've gotten someone who can actually sound like a 12-year-old, like Tara Strong, Kate Higgins or Michele Knotz. Or they could have at least brought back Jennifer, since she had a decent performance in Sonic Heroes.
NCZ (Admin) said at 3:23 PM on Thu Dec 9 2010
I think Jennifer is a little better than Lisa, but it is close. As I stated previously, I think Cindy's isn't that bad.

Jennifer's is best, even if it's too old sounding to an extent. Now, the 4Kids one...too young and high-pitched, but the acting's pretty good. The newest one also has really good acting, but the voice is even HIGHER.

Yuck. I really hate Cindy Robinson's voice. Mostly because her and Roger Craig Smith's voice do NOT match at all. At least with Jason Griffith and Lisa Ortiz, and even Ryan Drummond and Jennifer Douillard, there was some chemistry. But these new voices, NO CHEMISTRY AT ALL!
I mean, these new voices of Sonic and Amy have totally ruined my Sonamy fangirlness. I'm starting to loose interest in seeing Sonic and Amy ever getting together, and its been my biggest wish forever.
At least I can always watch those sonamy episodes in Sonic X *sigh*
So yeah, bring back Lisa Ortiz! Or at least get Cindy Roinson to improve.
But its better to bring back Lisa Ortiz. And bring back the rest of the 4kids cast aswell.

Well SEGA, you officially began the destruction of one of my most favorite sonic characters by giving her this new voice... Let's just sit back and watch her popularity go down the toilet now, shall we?

Wendee is better than Lisa, but worse than Jennifer.
Wendee makes her sound like Minnie Mouse. I was hoping that Kate Higgins would voice Amy using her Sakura voice, but it turns out that she used that voice for Wave the Swallow, and it fits her better anyway.

THE 4KIDS VOICE CAST IN MY OPINION WERE FAR SUPERIOR THAN THE ORIGINAL CAST
THE ACTING WAS AWESOME AND OUTSTANDING
THEY GOT EVEN BETTER
IN UNLEASHED AND BLACK KNIGHT
ALSO RIVALS 2

Man shame Jennifer had a perfect voice for Amy, but her delivery was so monotone, and didn't really show any emotion at all. Liza eh I hear here voice a little too often, but shes a good fit for Amy and tries to turn in a decent performance despite some of the lines she had to work with.
