I always thought Mark Meer did an absolutely awesome job with the MaleShep's voice. I'm very glad that Bioware chose him as the voice of MaleShep.

I never liked Meer, Jennifer Hale sounds so much more assuring. Oh but Raphael Sbarge... <3 <3

Mark Meer is awesome as Commander Shepard and Martin Sheen IS the Illusive Man. But for ALL voice actors, I would steal Brandon Keener's voice if I could. DAMN, it sounds so bad ass and cool.

I've learned to tolerate Meer, but only if I take a very particular path with his dialogue. Mostly the Renegade path. Pick the wrong kind of dialogue, he just sounds disingenuous about it all. Also, it greatly depends on how Shepard looks. The default with Meer's voice doesn't seem right.

Heres Mark Meer talking about his fave part of the bible - where Jesus fights the pirates.


I was just about to post this.[smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/tongue.png[/smilie]

"And he would have got away with it, too, if it weren't for that pesky Nazarene."

I very much like Mark Meer in ME2, actually. I don't see him as monotone at all. I kind of like that he holds back more with his emotions on the paragon or neutral paths. I guess that's largely because I try to play Shepard as levelheaded as possible (which means taking the neutral path instead of Paragon a lot), and Hale's voice acting, while good, is often overwrought with emotion and makes it harder to play that way for me, though I can definitely see why others might prefer it that way. She always sounds like she's trying to be comforting or friendly in those lines, which is cool if that's what you're going for, but can be annoying if it isn't. That's the thing, though - you can never predict what tone a player want's a line to be in, so I guess that's another reason I prefer the more reserved approach.

Very nice thread, especially the real life pics vs character pics.

I don't think "Mordin" delivers a single poor line. Just amazing.



Good thread.

Really? I find they sync up perfectly.

Ah well, different strokes and all that.

Hm, I think that's Kimberly Brooks (aka Kimberly Moss) the television actor pictured, not Kimberly D. Brooks the voice actor.

This is the Kimberly Brooks from Mass Effect / Dragon Age / KotOR:

You might be right I went with the photo based on this

Image IPB since it seems to be pretty common in searches on Ash referencing a VA.

Never noticed there were so many Kimberly Brooks on IMDB, tracking down the correct one was a right pain!

I suspect it was deliberate, as it was with Strahovski/Miranda.

Cannot seem to find that information anywhere.

Both their IMDB entries list the other as spouse and link to each other

Yeah, it seems that way.  I guess it's because there are more photos of the other Kimberly Brooks circulating around the internet since she's an on-screen actor. 

I'm pretty sure the Kimberly Brooks I posted is the one who voiced Ash.  One of the photos I posted is from a voice acting panel she did at ComicCon and another is from a cartoon VO session.


....

Different voice acting topic:  I'm trying to figure out who voiced Kelly Chambers...

I admire all the effort these actors put into their roles.
