Alejandro Saab is a well known figure within the voice acting industry. He's been in the game now for several years and has voiced such characters as Leon in Pokémon Journeys: The Series, Yuri in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and Jules in Final Fantasy VII Remake, among many others.
A self-proclaimed Sonic fanboy, Alejandro has now taken to Twitter to share his take on what Shadow the Hedgehog would sound like if he were to do the voice acting. We have to say, it's pretty awesome!
Check it out:
Taking classic lines from Sonic Adventure 2: Battle and putting his own spin on it, Alejandro has undoubtedly captured the essence of Shadow, injecting the perfect amount of passion and rage into the performance. Needless to say, we hope SEGA is watching!
In other news, Shadow the Hedgehog was recently confirmed to appear in the upcoming Sonic Prime for Netflix, with SEGA sharing a brief glimpse at the character in a short teaser clip for their Sonic Central stream.
What do you think of Alejandro's take on Shadow the Hedgehog? Are you hoping SEGA will make it official in the future? Let us know!

Someone is trying to get a role in the new sonic movie!
It’s missing a bit of raspy voice tones in some expressions… it feels a bit flat
It definitely sounds like Alejandro Saab (trust me, I watch his Twitch streams, I know that voice like the back of my hand) but jeez he pulls off a Shadow voice remarkably well. I wouldn't mind it at all if they bring him on down the line once Shadow's current voice actor moves on from the role because this is great stuff.
My favorite Shadow voice is Jason Griffith, he nails Shadow perfectly.
This Shadow doesn't sound like he eats coffee beans.
Sounds good! I would have him yell a bit less though.
WOW this is really good, Sega, Paramount Pictures what are you waiting to cast him in the third live-action Sonic movie.
Well I could see him being a candidate for a Shadow role in the next Sonic movie.
Here’s what I’d do of I voiced Shadow the Hedgehog:
“SONIC WHERE IS MY BREAKFAST!?!!?
SONIC WHY ARE MY SHOES NOT POLISHED TO A FINE SHEEN!?!!???
SONIC WHY ARE MY PYJAMAS NOT THE RIGHT SHADE OF CHAOS BLACK!?!???
SONIC FETCH ME MY GOLF CLUBS I WANT TO PLAY GLOFF!!!!!
CHOAS CONTEROLLL!!!!!
CHOAS BLAASFGYGBBR!!!!!!!”
Not sure if it comes through in text but it’s pretty epic.
It will be official for the future games.
I think it sounds pretty good, wouldn't mind if he atleast tried to audition for Shadow in the film series.
Thought this was interesting. It's based on Shadow's modern voice, but it's lines from SA2 where he had that smarmy evil British voice lol
Ugh the yelling is terrible. No one can hold a candle to Griffith.
Meh, sounds more mood than badass. Pass.
@YoshiF2 Well that’s because Shadow isn’t Vegeta.
Anyways, as someone who’s seen Kaggy’s voice work in action before, I can definitely say SEGA might try and make this official in the future. It’s all up to fate…
And hopefully, Kaggy can bring back the Shadow we all know and love (the 3-dimensional character from Adventure 2 to Black Knight, and NOT the Vegeta clone from Free Riders to now).
@Ruler-Of-All-Evil or is he?
Super Saiyan form - check
Rival to protagonist - check
Anti-hero - check
Pointy hair - check
From outer space - check
@YoshiF2 Except Vegeta never got a win or witnessed death close-up like Shadow had.
