Mark Meer does quite a bit more voices than Male Shepard.
social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/105/index/1312134/1

He's quite talented skilled.  People compare him being really good at R, and Hale at being great at P.  I would say that's more of a sex than skill issue.  (Male's screams are just more intimidating than Females.)

And as everyone has stated before, he's there to play the "everyday man."  He's supposed to be flat and straightforward, and thus, mallaeable to the players whim (face, skin tone, etc), including differing social responses.

Man, now I do feel really weird... for me, it's always been the opposite. I've found Meer to be an excellent P and Hale to be a cold, ruthless and predatory R. Of course, Meer is pretty decent at R too from what I've seen on YouTube, just a different type of R... Meer is joking and blase (BIG STUPID JELLYFISH), while Hale has this cool drawl to her. Even some of Hale's Paragon responses sound like a threat. o_O

Hale just sounds more pissed off than Meer does IMO

Hale sounds forced, which I hate. Shepard is Hales worse performance IMHO. I loved her as Bastila, did fantastic with Samus voice and was epic in Brutal Legends but in ME1 and 2 she just is not that good, plus she got worse in ME2 unlike Meer who got alot better.

If you think he is bad, dont play Halo....you may attempt to tear your ears off listening to Master Chief.

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.

You should hear Polish Shepard dubbing guy. He is totally awful . One tone in every sentence. Overall, Polish dubbing suxx, including the whole translation...

I really don't know what you're talking about.  I thought his speech to the crew was rather rousing, and he is certainly NOT monotone.  In most cases his changes in pitch and inflection are actually much MORE pronounced than Jennifer Hale's are.  When I first played a femShep I thought Hale sounded flat until I got used to her more subtle delivery (and part of it is her deepening her voice for the role).

Honestly, I'm not even sure whether most of the people who raise this criticism have even payed much attention to the voice acting; sometimes I think people just repeat this "Mark Meer sucks" line because it is popular to think so.  I think he does a great job, personally, and his voice fits the role very well.

Sure, not every line is delivered the way I'd like -- a few of the more "tender" moments sound a bit awkward -- but I can count several instances in just the first area where I feel that Meer does a better job than Hale, and plenty of times throughout the game where I thought his delivery was absolutely perfect.  Of course Jen Hale has plenty of great moments herself, but they're both excellent voice actors, so that is to be expected.  I really wish people would stop ripping on Meer, though.  He doesn't deserve it at all.

Although Jennifer Hale is better i still like Mark Meer and he especially makes some renegade options sound really funny. As for no emotion in the voice, yeah i guess he is a bit bad at sounding like he actually gives a ****, but thats just the character most of my male Shepards are.

And i think overall his voice is pretty good, it sounds like a voice a white man, a black man or heck even a hispanic man could have, thats the type of voice "make your own face" characters should have.

[SL22]

Don't blame Mark, he was told to be monotonous and boring and that's what he's providing. You do know that most of the turians and volus you speak to are voiced by him? He can clearly put emotion into his acting but he's not supposed to for Shepard.

[Bebbe777]

Meer is Shepard and I think he is doing a good job

[I99I Dragoon]

Mark Meer IS Commander Shepard, but honestly, his voice does a good job of creating a character everyone can connect to in oneway or another.

[Raanz]

Meer is just as good as Hale. Male Shepard rocks.

[Larask]

Female Shepard has a very good VO. (Jennifer Hale). Perhaps you should try playing as one. She can do emotions etc... very well in her work.

[RenownedRyan]

Anyone who complains about Mark Meer's voice acting is a connoisseur of fine whine.

[Rubba Bubba]

Just jumping on the ever ridiculous Anti-Meer Bandwagon in a pathetic attempt for attention and acceptance among atleast SOME people, ey OP?

[RenownedRyan]

Meer does show emotion. What do you expect him to do? Cry? Scream maybe? Besides, if he showed more emotion you would complain about his overacting. Seriously. There must be something better for you to post. These threads are complete garbage. Your opinion on the voice acting is just that, an opinion. It's not fact, and BioWare will not change it. Too late now anyways. It's not like they'll bring in a different voice for the third installment.  Meer, if you're reading this, you do good work.  Keep it up.
