TrackerTD | "Ryan Drummond's Voice Over Circus" (2001 VO Reel) @TrackerTD | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
An old voice-over demo reel from Ryan Drummond. The file's date says "31/12/2001", so that's what I put here.
The recent departure of Roger Craig Smith as the voice of Sonic has ignited the good ol' voice actor debate in the Sonic fanbase once again. It reminded me of former Sonic VA Ryan Drummond's amusing voice-over reel, in which he acts out an array of circus acts. Unfortunately, said reel was on his now dead website. And said website was also 99% comprised of Flash assets, and that's dead too.
Thankfully the Wayback Machine had the download for the demo reel, so here it is preserved for slightly easier access than very specific Wayback trawling. I always get a kick out of the sudden cameo from a certain blue porcupine around the 1:50 mark, so I figured it was worth preserving here (since preserving old video-game adjacent oddities I like is really this channel's main purpose nowadays).

SEGAs OutRun got released for Nintendo Switch the other day as part of M2s sublime SEGA AGES series, and brought with it a bunch of newly arranged tracks.
This track is Midnight Highway from OutRun 3-D on the SEGA Master System, re-arranged by Sakuoki Kudo (sdhizumi). This version is actually streamed in the game, rather than played back through the game itself - apparently there were a few things Kudo wanted to do with the track that he couldnt if restricted to the original hardware. Like Drivers Megamix, this is why its represented ingame as an audio cassette.
Hopefully these new tracks receive an official release! The 3DS tracks were added to the OutRun soundtracks on Spotify and iTunes, so who knows?
SEGA AGES OutRun is available on the Japanese Nintendo eShop: https://ec.nintendo.com/JP/ja/titles/70010000011426
A Western release is planned for 2019, but the game will load in English if an English account is used to start it!")
