Singer-Songwriter Kal David was chosen as the The voice of Sonny Eclipse<ref name= "wdwradio"/> . is performed by singer-songwriter Kal David , who was approached by George Disney producer Geroge Wilkins, who had written a lot of music for Disneyabout performing the role. Wilkins and David had previously worked together on the [[Wonders of Life ]] attraction [[Goofy About Health<ref name= "wdwradio"/>]]. Wilkins wrote and recorded the music for Sonny Eclipse except for the guitar parts, which were written by David<ref name= "wdwradio"/> .

The Space Angels (Sonny's backup singers) were voiced by The Brunettes, a group which included David's girlfriend Lorrie<ref name= "wdwradio"/> .

* Sonny Eclipse's technician and announcer is Mike Feedback <ref name= "endor"> http://www.endorexpress.net/database/employees/sonny-eclipse/ </ref>.

At this time, Mike Feedback will tell Sonny that its time to take five. When the live act is finished, Sonny will descend from the ceiling and Mike will announce him to the audience <ref name= "endor"/>. Both of these diolouges dialogues are rare as Sonny is not often replaced by a live act.
