I always play with the default make Shepard appearance so it's male for me lol

Mark Meer does a brilliant job I think. Great choice on Bioware's part.

Every time femshep speaks obviously - thats my entire point. Every time I hear femshep speak, its like listening to someone trying to sound like a commander, as opposed to listening to a commander.

I'm not sure what you want her to sound like tbh. My impression is that she sounds like someone who commands through respect, and doesn't need to sound all "I AM THE LAW LAW". She also strictly speaking isn't in military in ME2.

FShep very convincing for the most part inflects her voice at the right parts MShep sounds like he is reading Legion sounds more convincing in the voice inflection area then him. When you acting or voice acting you need to sound like how you would really say it not that you're reading the paper infront of you.

Most definitely agree. I think Mark Meer is brilliant, his voice fits default shepards face and thats why i think it works so well.

In regards to MaleShep not being emotional enough, why do you expect Shepard to be all emotional? He is a veteran marine with a take no BS sort of attitude. Or at least I envision him to be. Sounds like something the Tali fans would have a problem with...

I've mostly played as Maleshep and decided to do a playthrough with Femshep. Femshep's vioce acting is stunning- she isn't as bland or as emotive as a rock like Maleshep.

I hate it when every line is dripping with emotion, as it starts to sound really fake after a while.

This. MaleShep sound real, like he's seen things and has no time for your daddy issues.

Femshep sounds fake and filled with forced-masculinity. Makes me cringe. It's like Hale didn't think femshep could sound badass without making her voice as low and monotonous as possible.



Also, thread = flamebait.

Jennifer Hale and Femshep, hands down. MaleShep/Meer, sounds as if his nose is stopped up, or maybe he just prefers to talk through it.


This. Marks breathing is awful. In acting / singing / voicing, you would say he doesn't use his diaphragm to breath.. which is why he can sound really nasally and without resonance. I do find him a bit screechy. (I understand that he was a stand up comic... so he's probably used to pitching high and short)

That said, alot of people feel pretty okay with that so i don't know. To my ear - Jennifer is alot easier to listen to. Some of her modulation doesn't match the body language of the models actions... but that's to be expected... and certainly not her fault.
Mark has the benefit of being the "canon Shep" so the models base moves are male.

Definately male shep, femshep sounds WAY too overdramatic when she talks, makes me laugh.

Meer.



Male Shepard sounds more like a human than an actor.

I've only played ME1 but I loved both voice actors. The only problem I had with the male voice actor was when he says to Joker on Therum: "On the double, mister!" It just sounds, so, well, gay.

According to my poll FemShep is surprising popular. And a lot of comments mention that one of the reasons they like FemShep is Hale's voice acting.

FemShep. Every now and then I'll get a jarringly out of place, over the top line but pretty much every character has a few of those. With the way those lines are recorded, giving the actor a bit of exposition and saying go, it's a given that some of them will be out of place when they make it into the game. Overall, though, I'd say Hale's characterization and presence are stronger than manshep. I find her performance throughout the game to be dynamic, encompassing a full spectrum of emotion.

This is why I prefer MaleShep too, in both games. Hale seems to put way too much emotion into every line and I can't stand it (and, if I'm honest, I don't think the voice matches what the character looks like either but that is just my opinion). Meer sounds more believable to me (and, for me, his voice matches the character). And it's not that I didn't want to give FemShep a chance, after coming to this forum for the first time and seeing the huge support for Hale, I made an adept (in Mass Effect 1) and just before going to Virmire (with Feros and Noveria complete) I couldn't stand her anymore and deleted the character. It's good that there is a choice though as to me it seems like there is an almost equal number of FemShep and MaleShep fans.

I don't understand this at all.
I can't think a single line in the game beyond the grotesque flirting with Jacob where her voice had an emotion other than that annoyed kind of masculine inflection she puts in her voice.

 ME 1. FemShep > MaleShep. Not a question about it, whoever thinks differently should...well, check your ears. Do you remember the first lines of PC Gamers review of ME1? Let me quote it:
"Do me a favour and choose a female character when you play Mass Effect. [---]..., but if you pick "male" on that first option you're doomed to that vacant-looking, shaven-headed Calvin Klein model you see to the left, with the archetypal bland protagonist voice.. And so much of the pleasure of Mass Effect comes from NOT being a bland protagonist."

I couldn't agree more.
I do however think that the MaleShep improved in ME2 and FemaleShep wasn't as good as she used to be. And that flirty little sl*t voice with Jacob? :sick:

It's missing a key option though. I play each about 50/50, just saying. The options don't really fit that.:?
