Cutix Candy | [UPDATED TTS] Self-Reflection (Sonic SFM Animatic) @cutixcandy | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Original Upload Date: May 22, 2021
OG Description: "It was late 2009, and Sonic had been staying in a psych ward since the "What if It was Purple?" incident. As his mental health improved, he was transferred to a more comfortable bedroom.
And then, he considered revealing the truth behind his whole 'Umbrella' night shenanigans and made an apology video, admitting that he made a severe and continuous lapse in his judgment."
________________________________________
This is my first (public) re-upload of my Sonic SFM video with new TTS voices replacing the original ones in the first version, as well as polishing the 'animation'. Out of all the videos I made private due to the AI Voice vs Voice Artists situation, this is the most viewed video. I guess the whole "werewolf transformation" thing on YouTube is popular. Still, a lot of effort was put into this, so I had to do this.
The OG version contains a voice blacklisted from both uberduck and fakeyou, which is Sean Schemmel's Son Goku voice (ironically, given what in-video Sonic talked about). The voice actor doesn't consent to his voice being cloned to an AI so, out of respect, I have to remake the audio.
This new version uses entirely the AI voices, with some audio-splicing through the power of YTP's sentence-mixing, based on Jason Griffith's Sonic roles. I would have to remake the video again with the sentence-mixing technique instead if either TTS site got the voices taken down for any reason.
There are other videos that are currently private as of now for the same reason. I will keep you updated on which video I will be re-doing.
OG Description: "I decided to make a proper conclusion to a series of videos I made last year on Sonic's time in a mental hospital. This video addresses previous videos and establishes the admittedly silly lore of most of my Sonic content in my channel.
And this video is a literal slow but painless Werehog transformation to showcase the eventual acceptance after all the attempts Sonic made to avoid the form. It is done in a similar format to my Realistic Look: The Pitch period series and a typical YouTube apology video that drags down the recording. Still more genuine than YouTubers, I guess?"

![[UPDATED] ITS (A)MY BIRTHDAY (Sonic SFM Animatic Short) #shorts](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ipsoG4XhtB4/hqdefault.jpg "[UPDATED] ITS (A)MY BIRTHDAY (Sonic SFM Animatic Short) #shorts
Original Upload Date: Sep 23, 2022
Original Description: Its 23rd September, the date Sonic CD came out, which makes it Amy Roses birthday.
Amy does a little dance for her birthday, but the fun got crashed by Cream and Cheese in a small, toy car more suited for her. The pink hedgehog was not happy with that mishap.
I decided that its best appropriate for this Amy Short to be uploaded on my birthday. After all, we share the same birthday.
For those who are wondering about the voice in this video, thats me. I am still trying to work around with my Amy voice especially since Im trying not to have voice cracks while voice-acting her and other high-pitched characters.
I havent uploaded any content in a while. Demotivation and procrastination with the addition of working on long personal projects. Ill try to update my channel the best that I can.
Anyway, heres the re-done video with the only difference being that instead of Uberduck TTS or AI Voices of Lisa Ortiz (or Pinkie Pies singing voice), its just my voice. Enjoy.
OG Description: Today is my birthday, and I share the same birthday as Amy Rose, so this time round, I decided to focus on her through this YouTube #Short centered entirely on birthdays. Also, I passed my second decade, so Im officially 20 now. [Im 21 now]
And of course, a callback on my (non-canon) birthday video that involves car crashing birthday party, and Cream The Driver. So yes, Im making Cream the one to (unintentionally) ruin a birthday. Sonic recklessly driving GTA-style never happened at all. 🤣
Song:
will.i.am and Cody Wise - Its My Birthday

Original Upload Date: Apr 16, 2021
Original Description: It was early 2009 and Sara and Honey went out shopping. The catgirls saw Sonic having an interesting punk fashion and blue arms. As it turns out, it was a new moon night.
And Honey kinda exposed Sonics little Werehog secret from her encounter with Sonic holding an umbrella during full moon.
Heres another reupload of replacing old voices with new voices. This time, its on an even older video that is also the first one to show Sonic in a (fan-made) transition form between his normal and Werehog forms.
Just like with Self-Reflection, I polished the movements of the image renders to make the transition between SFM renders better.
Right before the new audio was made, I already had decided on the voices that Honey and Sara would have, on separate occasions. Little did I know the voices I use for them are from the same voice actress (Janice Kawaye). I wonder how I didnt notice that Ami and Jenny Wakeman sounds too similar in the first place? 🤣
OG Description: Yeah, this video is my headcanon that Sonic looks more like his hedgehog form on non-full moon nights. New moon is where he keeps his gloves and mostly his speed, but also with limited stretchy arms and darker fur.
The video is framed in a similar fashion to a Sailor Moon clip (Reis Pink Overalls): https://youtu.be/jKfWfUJMJcU
A video where Honey met Sonic holding an umbrella, which she referenced (ignore the dancing headphoned moon): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBjPK1SFhGU

Original Upload Date: Jun 23, 2021 (This was on a Wednesday)
Original Description: Wave came to Sonics house on his birthday, and she was dressed up like a goth with pigtails. She gave a stupid rant to his sister Sonia about how she doesnt get a Wave Wednesday. It was all over fan artists appreciation of Sonics form through Werehog Wednesday...
Someone, please get Wave off the Internet and give her chill pills.
Alright, this one may sound a little rough because I was rushing a bit. But behold, the re-uploaded, re-done video. Because of when its setting takes place, this one, along with the 18th Birthday Plan Short, just has to be uploaded on Sonics birthday.
(ironically, both videos are related to the Werehog form, one way or another.)
Its funny that today is actually a Friday. Coincidentally, Netflixs Wednesday series has Wednesdays birthday be on Friday the 13th. So I guess this is kinda fitting. 😅
I cut out one of Waves lines for pacing reasons. The original line was Im a tech expert. This scene still has a little too much exposition. Ill make sure to watch out for that.
I think my voices for Sonia and Wave are getting dangerously close to sounding similar since I used a lower pitch. Poor Jet has a sore throat as hes given a Yoda voice (I dunno any other rougher pre-Modern AI Voice Cloning TTS that can provide bird-like voices). Sonic... is sounding too normal, and finding voices for him is also a struggle.
The shift in Waves voice quality was because I tried out using Voice.AI when doing the first take, on a laptop. My other takes, done from the phone, are not as expressive on Waves mocking dialogue. I really shouldnt rush this out and do a backup on recording my takes with my phone. 😮
I also add in black eyeshadow for Wave to make her appear more gothic than ever. Still, she aint playing the character right. 🤣
Anyway, enjoy this silly video.
OG Description [NOTE: Outdated terms right here, with update besides them]:
Hey, today really is the 30th anniversary [Now 32nd anniversary] of Sonic the Hedgehog. I am interested to see the direction the franchise will be going with the upcoming game Sonic Rangers [actually Sonic Frontiers]. As of now, Im being neutral and will wait for new info and trailers for it.
This video is just an idea of messing around with fanart days and I hope people dont take this seriously because Wave is meant to be a rude character that insults people and has high pride in herself.
