He does a good job as Shepard. Jennifer Hale is my fav voice actor for the character, though.....I noticed he used a little more emotion in his voice in some of the DLC, so hoping that he is allowed to change it up a bit in ME3

The Vorcha were far less monotone...

I almost exclusively played villains or creatures

That would explain why his Renegade lines sound better than his Paragon lines (at least I think so) xD

Truedat. I played a pure paragon playthrough with him once...he sounded pretty bad.

To be fair he greatly improved in ME2 and in the DLC he was brilliant. Especially the David scene in Overlord. He really pulled that off brilliantly.

The renegade line in TLOTSB dlc, inwich he ask liare "So you gave my body to Cerberus, but why?" contains ALOT of emotions, the way his voice trembled at that exact moment. Just excellent.



He has improved alot since the first game, can't wait for the next one.

This is very surprising. He does a good job with all these other characters and roles but with Shepard it's meh. It's a dam shame.

Funny, I think he does a very good job (much better than Hale imho).

I love them both. They're just different.  Very different.

Agree.  I don't get why there seems to be a lot of Meer bashing when it comes to Shepard's VA and they seem to come from the Hale fans. 

[PrinceLionheart]

Damn, Meer has a good Vocal Range. Anyway, I love playing my ManShep just because he's good with sarcasm.

[Zaxares]

Wow, he actually voiced the Vorcha too? O.o

I know, it's weird. He's clearly capable of awesomeness. I mean look at this video, just look at it:



He's hilarious in this, what gives? Why does he hold back when he's doing Shepard? Mark Meer, tear down your wall!!

[jlb524]

I'd finally run a ManShep if he sounded like Shisk the Vorcha...that would be epic.



Meer should do a separate Shepard VO just for that. You know this is a great idea, BW.

I love his Shepard. He's understated and dry. Very straightforward, and he changes his tone where appropriate.

Agreed. Unlike Femshep's voice which always sounds the same. The same droning tone in which words are spewed out lazily.

I have to agree. Not dissing Hale at all, but it does always sound like she's speaking her lines "lazily". It's like someone's forcing her to talk. It also sounds like she's always angry all the time, or in a bad mood constantly.

Ehh, different strokes for different folks.

Shisk is the greatest thing ever.  Especially on twitter....

Meer is definitely getting a lot better as Shepard as he goes along. Compare his ME1 performance to LOTSB. Can't wait to hear him in ME3, will be epic.

The greatest villain he voiced was probably Niftu Cal, the Biotic God.

"Villain" ? 

Hardly.

He created the Reapers. He thought them up.

Dr Chakwas was played by Carolyn Seymour, not Gates McFadden (Beverly Crusher in TNG).

Carolyn Seymour did have a handful of guest roles in Star Trek, a couple of Romulans and a character in Captain Janeway's gothic holo-program.

Anyone taking bets on which Star Trek main cast member will appear in ME3?

He's definitely a good voice actor. Still, I much prefer Hale's version of Shep.

Agreed, and I think it's a shame that the VA directors are requesting that he voice Shepard in a certain way, as I believe to be the case.

Well, that's kind of the job of voice acting directors.

[ADLegend21]

I love Hale and Meers Shepard's equally and they both do an outstanding job for the Commander. I laughed when I found out he did the Vorcha and replayed all the Omega's with a male shep so he would talk to himself

After all this time!

Vorcha: We no kill today!

Meer Shep: I should go.



Edit: found the the youtube link to the "I should go" greatest hits montage.

and it had to be fun recording this in studio,
I would find it hard to stop laughing, watching the process.

here's a tidbit with the actors themselves

Good thing Vorcha don't use many prepositions. It would have totally ruined them if they pronounced "about" as "aboat".

[Burdokva]

I too was very surprised when I read the interview the other day. And the Biotic God? Wow...

Meer has repeatedly stated that BioWare wanted a more straightforward soldier with Shepard; he's a military man and it shows. I think in many cases he deliberately comes off as emotionally flat in many cases, like when talking to a random NPC. He's a lot better in the conversations with the squad members, for example, at least the more "emotional" ones (or the interrupts).

Can't stand Hale as Shepard, though. I've tried playing as a FemShep and I'm constantly irritated by how growling she sounds... I know they're different characters, but I love her work on Bastila in KotOR. It was so layered and powerful. Her Shepard sounds like a punk.

I so can't tell that I don't play spot the actor in my games the only time I've been able to recognize people is Kaiden's VA plays an army guy in one of my nephews starwars games which I find amusing.

RC-1262 Scorch isn't just some random army-dude. By far one the best things to ever come out of the Star Wars Prequel horror. Fantastic character and everyone who has played Republic Commando can tell you just how great and hilarious Raphael Sbarge can be. Apparently it's Kaidan the character that's boring, not the VA. 

PS. I support more Vorcha for ME3!

It's true.  He thinks things, and they happen. QED.

My vote is for Wil Wheaton as a young, eager, highly intelligent but obnoxious Reaper.  You get to kill him.  Since Wil is a cool guy, he'd probably do it too.
