[STILL BEING UPDATED]  [Photos appear to be working for me, but if any are consistently broken, please let me know]

If you’ve ever played the English version of Final Fantasy
XIII, you may have been as aggravated as I was at the absolutely terrible voice
acting. The Japanese version, on the other hand, had stellar voice acting.
Bioware games are some of the only games on the market with anything near good
voice acting, yet this is a standard of Japanese games. Why? Because in Japan,
voice actors are actual stars. They have followings, legions of fans, and are
lobbied to voice-act in all sorts of different games.

I see no reason why we shouldn’t have such a system in the
Western world.

So, I hope you all enjoy my ongoing attempt to create a
compendium of the voice actors and actresses of the Mass Effect series! If you have
any additional information, videos, images, etc that are not listed here,
please feel free to post them as a reply. I’ll be updating this whenever I can.

Cool but... kind of common knowledge?
I don't think anything remotely close to the voice acting cult from Japan will happen in western countries. Voice actors are recognised but in Japan it's a longterm cultural thingy... I think dating back to the times of silent movies with lectors.

Still being updated.

And you'd think so, but it's actually not. Many people have no idea who Jennifer Hale is even though she is one of America's most prominent voice actresses.

[JHU_P4NDA]

Please also let me know if there are any imaging errors.

[Elyvern]

There is already a very comprehensive thread for the voice actors of ME here:

The images of Mark Meer and Ali Hillis did not show up. Other actors are missing pictures though I assume this was because you couldn't find them.

[jeweledleah]

never mind the image link, just showed up for me after reload...heh, must be a forum thing

also, how do you mention Adam Baldwin and NOT mention firefly or Serenity? I will bet you a dollar that a lot of Kal'Reegar fans exist because Adam was Jayne.

[Dreggon]

I was all like "awesome, these guys and girls are cool, I would never place some of these - OH HE LOOKS JUST LIKE WREX AS WELL!" and then suddenly nudity O_O

[JrayM16]

I would also add that the picture of Tricia Helfer was an...'odd' choice for a voice actress profile.

Yes in retrospect that was a poor choice...I just grabbed the one that caught my eye first, as I had a lot of photos to post haha

I actually didn't know he was in either! I can't believe I missed that...I'll correct that ASAP

Also, I probably owe you a dollar

That's actually very interesting. Do you have any more information on the subject? I'm not sure I follow how silent movies leads to a strong voice-acting following, but I'd love to know.

[Joram Talid]

a canadian gaming website recently did interviews with SEVERAL of the voice actors. it was much more interesting and informative than this thread was.



good attempt though, but that is very common knowledge.

[xXSnak3Eat3rXx]

EDI needs to be a LI in ME3 just so I can hear Tricia Helfer talk dirty to me.

[matt-bassist]

some of you guys are ruthless...

The point is that the knowledge is not very common knowledge. Many people, for instance, did not know that the voice of Mouse is also the voice of Hermes on Futurama and Ollie/the judge on Family Guy. This sort of thing would be common knowledge in Japan, where there is a huge fanbase for voice actors, but not as much in the West. Besides, I can't really compete with a professional website that actually got to talk to the actors, can I?

Thanks for your input, but if you don't like it, don't comment or read. I think people would be interested in seeing this thread though, so feel free to share! Thanks!

you refer to phil lamarr, who was also the kid that got shot in the car in pulp fiction, and was a regular castmate on mad tv.

i suppose some may not know voice actors. i would not be one of them, though.

I'm genuinely happy for you, I wish more people knew about the voice actors, these people are really unsung heroes.

[JHU_P4NDA]

I've more or less exhausted my list of actors who are prominent enough to have pictures/a page, but if anyone else has pictures, links, or another voice cast member to put, please share

[yuncas]

Raphael Sbarge is Greg Graffin? Who knew?

[Eduadinho]

What i find is that with some of the voice actors i can visualise them as the character they play such as Michael Beattie: Mordin Solus and Carrie-Anne Moss: Aria T'loak and of course Seth Green: Joker. I think they do this sometimes in games and the characters faces can be built around the voice actors faces.

Yup, several characters were deliberately modeled after their voice actors, most prominently Miranda (whose hair was originally blonde, but was change dbecause they realized it fit Miranda's outfit way better). If you look closely, they even precisely modeled Yvonne Strahovski's teeth. 
Joker is another example, and I know several others were modeled after people, but I'm not sure who. 

[Eduadinho]

do'h can't believe i missed out Yvonne Strahovski the most obvious one of all.
