Amy Palant

Said on a Site that Palant departed 4Kids in 2008. That can't be right, that's the same year Sonic Unleashed was released, and games released afterward up until 2010 like M&S at the Vancouver 2009 Winter Olympics and Sega All Stars Racing featured Tails done by Amy Palant.

@CuriousUserX90 For Mario & Sonic as well as Sega All Stars racing, I haven't played the games at all, but from what I've heard those were just archive clips of all the 4kids actors.

As for Sonic Unleashed, I'm guessing she either left 4kids after the game was released, or left 4kids beforehand but still had to go through with voicing Tails thanks to her contract. Although I think the former is more likely. Those are just guesses on my part, so take that with a grain of salt.

@CuriousUserX90 Voice actors don't work for 4Kids in the sense that they're employed by the company. They're all freelancers who happen to be hired by them often.

Metabad is correct in that All-Stars Racing had entirely reused voices for the vast majority of its characters, Tails included. I can't speak for Mario and Sonic but it's probably the same case.

In any case... having done some research, I'm pretty sure this is a false rumour, and I think I know how it started. Amy Palant got a gig in DuArt's Pokemon dub in 2008. Fans believed that she was allowed to do so because she had "left" 4Kids. Ignoring that, again, voice actors don't work for 4Kids, an email by Mike Pollock states that their contracts stated that they were not allowed to work on non-4Kids dubs of Pokemon for 2 years. By then, the contract would've been expired, so Amy Palant was more than free to work on the DuArt dub.

She was my favourite Tails voice up until Kate but I still like her. She was the first person in the video game series to make Tails voice sound top notch.

Amy Palant is my favorite female that voiced him!!! she is just plain flippen awesome. she is the next best person to voice him in awhile. I have both the PS2 versions of the Sonic Riders games that were made before Free Riders where she voiced him and I thought she was excellent!!! she made Tails extra adorable, and she was able to capture his personality PERFECTLY just like the Bringas Bros. were able to do.

I may like Kate Higgins, but I also like Amy Palant too. I think the only reason peolegiver her flack is because SEGA didn't go with a little boy to voice the character. Had it been anyone else, it would just be the same thing.

Listening to her Miss Valentine always makes me wonder why 4kids didn't cast her as Luffy. She definitely has a great little boy voice, hence her Tails.

Amy Palant, I admire your voice as Tails because I find it cute and awesome in my opinion.
I don't mind Kate Higgins doing Tails' voice, but I still want you back as Tails in my honour.
Thank You.

@SailorGirl90 Amen! She was the better tails! But I also think if she added a tiny bit of her mai valentine voice, her tails would sound even better

@AMT You mean "Miss Valentine". Mai Valentine was voiced by Megan Hollingshead, who left 4kids years ago.
