Sonic's new Princess

For the first time in Sonic history, SEGA has decided to implement the voice acting of a Hollywood star: Lacey Chabert of Party of Five and Mean Girls. She will be the voice talent of Princess Elise in the upcoming Sonic game set to release this holiday season.

When asked about how it felt to switch to games, she stated, "I couldn't be happier to make my video game debut in Sonic the Hedgehog, I've been playing Sonic games since I was nine years old, and I am so excited to be part of his 15-year legacy!"

As for SEGA's thoughts:"We are thrilled to work with Lacey Chabert for SEGA's premiere franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing for SEGA of America. As we take Sonic into the next generation of gaming, Lacey's experience and talent are the perfect match for the game's deeper storyline, delivering the powerful emotional connection that gamers have grown to expect from Sonic titles."

So keep an ear out for Lacey this shopping season when playing the new Sonic title!
