This isn’t the first time O’Shaughnessey has voiced Tails or any other character in the Sonic universe. The voice actress nabbed her first role as a Sonic character in 2010. She voiced Charmy the Bee in the video game Sonic Colors. From there, she would branch out, eventually landing the part as Tails in the 2014 Sonic Boom TV series and video game. She would then voice Tails in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games series. O’Shaughnessey even voiced Tails in the after-credit scene in Sonic the Hedgehog when Tails lands in the human world, searching for Sonic.

Furthermore, O’Shaughnessey has quite the résumé, appearing in several popular shows. Her very first role was in 1999 in Digimon Adventure as Sora Takenouch. She took on more roles, such as Ino Yamanaka in the popular anime Naruto and as Jazz Fenton in Nickelodeon’s Danny Phantom.
I’m so glad that Colleen is voicing Tails in Sonic 2! I was worried that a celebrity was going to voice Tails instead.
