Interview with David Humphrey – Voice of Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic Adventure 2) – LairCon 2024

*CHAOS CONTROL!!* The original voice of Shadow the Hedgehog from Sonic Adventure 2, David Humphrey, was awesome enough to chat with me during LairCon ’24 to share how much Shadow means to him as an actor and his experiences of being the original Edgehog we know and love.

HUGE thanks to David for talking with me! You can follow him on Social Media via…
