personally I don't like maleshep voice, but it's not to the point where i hate it, and it's not like he did an bad job... prefer the femshep because it fits more IMHO. it all comes down to opinion.

I like Mark Meer's voice. He's a soldier, not a goddamn thespian. That's how real people speak, without emotion dripping off every word.

But he hardly emotes at all. I don't know about you, but I generally tend to change my volume and inflect when I speak.

Oh, but he does! It's just more subtle. Not everyone shows their emotions on their sleeves. For instance, the Jack romance does a very good job of showing that off.

Nah, I like Meer's work in the game. He sounds tough, generic enough to fit a lot of appearances (for me, anyway), and sometimes I think he sounds like he's really having fun in the role. Like, when he says, "if I come across any looters, I'll kill them; anyone else... I'll kill them too," I actually chuckled. He made an otherwise overdramatic line into dark humour.

From what I've seen of Femshep, Hale takes it too seriously. Makes the games WAY too overdramatic for me. I want to have fun.

Here's proof that male shep has the better voice

Perhaps he is more subtle, but in the Jack romance when he says "No more questions," it didn't seem very tender. It was like he was finishing up a press conference.

Really? I thought it sounded quite tender. Anyway, earlier in the romance he does persistant and snarky very well when Jack tells him to go away.

I will admit that he does a great job when Tali and Legion are arguing, if you choose the renegade option. He's not a horrible voice actor, but he just doesn't work for me. I find him pretty bland.

Meer does an awesome job at Shepard. He IS SHEPARD.

Seriously. This guy must be the absolute WORST voice actor I've ever heard! He's so monotonous and boring, it almost makes me hate my own character.

Hell, anyone who's heard the speech he gives to the crew once you get the ship in the original knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about.

This guy has the lead voice of a HUGE video game series, yet he shows absolutely no enthusiasm for his work, or any emotion in his voice, even when there should be some. Someone needs to kick this dude out of the studio and give Clint Eastwood a call.

"I'm Mark Meer, AND IM ABOUT TO KICK YOU IN THE ****ING BALLS!!"

Then play as FemShep.

[FlyinElk212]

To be honest, hearing Meer again on what is my umpteenth million runthrough...he's really not that bad. He has a few "Dear God..." moments, but he's not terrible.

I was more appalled at the regression of Hale's voice acting. I think sans a few glorious moments (Tali's trial speeches), her character sound really flat and "air-y".

Fair enough, to each his own.

[Sina84]

Mark Meer is way above the standard. I can show you some games with bad voice acting.



Anyway, fits a commander type to be sort of neutral most of the time. I think most of his "bad voice acting" moments people are refering to are more due to the facial animations being weird for certain scenes. Like, whenever Shepard smiles.



I think it's a good sign for bioware though just the sheer amount of nitpicking and whining going on around here. Means people care about the games.

???? i guess it really is opinon based cause to me he shows great emotion

[Tennyochan]

i like meer's voice acting. i also think Hale delivers some lines better and vice-versa

[Puppet Doctor]

I am not a fan of Meer's voice acting and can barely play a Male Shepard anymore but he is not terrible. By no means IMO is he the worst voice actor out there. If you want bad just go play Resident Evil 1 or listen to some of those off-lines in Heavy Rain (the voice acting is good but sometimes its terrible).



It all comes down to opinion really. I just find that when making a Male Shepard his voice doesn't really fit the look of the character. But with my FemShep the voice fits the character and I am used to Hale's voice acting now.

[TheLostGenius]

Mark Meer is medicore with moments of greatness. He really does embody Sheperd very well in a few critical moments. Sometimes he takes you OUT of the moment by saying something abruptly, but oh well, the hero of the galaxy doesn't have to be eloquent.

[b1n0ry]

Dude wtf are you talking about? Mark Meer is awesome! Some of the most memorable moments in the game for me took place when he gave those epic speeches. He is doing a great job and I wouldn't replace him with anyone.

Meer doesn't deliver on every line, neither does Hale. And if Ron
Perlman were the original choice for Maleshep's VA, it would be
significantly more epic, but that's not the case, and Mark Meer delivers
for having so little experience. He improved tenfold from ME1 to ME2.
For someone who's not a CO in real life, he convinced me that Shepard
was.

I
suppose if you'd like Meer to be more "tender" he could act like Femshep
during Jacob's romance. I and many others prefer the direction the Male
romances took.

Agreed. I played 2 playthroughs as Femshep
in ME1 and it was good, but ME2 was a lot different.

Meer is fine. Why is this still on the front page? You don't like his voice? Don't play the game for all I care. Go away.

[KainrycKarr]

Hahahahahahahahahaha. To each his own, misguided, overcritical opinion I guess.



I'm sure OP also thinks Hale is the greatest VA since sliced cheese. That's usually where this thread goes...

[KingusJamus]

I think Jennifer Hale sounds like a lesbian trucker, it makes me cringe when I hear her attempting the renegade lines. But that just my opinion, to each their own.
