Not at All, Ashley and Mirianda sound like soldiers

I don't see how Ashley or Miranda sound any more "Soldier" than Femme Shepard.  I can understand "Better than Femme shepard" but,  I still can't get my head around the fact that someone can "Sound" like a soldier.  As  I see no similiarities between Ashley,  Miranda or Sheploo.

well thats your problom cause its very evident in the way they speak and compose them selves

Ash has moments were her anger get out of control, but she still sound disciplined and  controld most the time

Funny Hale never sounds angry, a tad sadistic,  but I've never seen her being "Emotional."

I have played as both male and female Shepard and i must say I really like them both. Yes Jennifer Hale seems to have more "emotion" in her voice, but I think the subtly of Mark Meer's influction matches Shepard character. Shepard is a badass. It's only natural that he isn't moved by much. Both actors are incredibly talented. Of course the actor that you spent 40 hours listening to would have your stamp of approval. Hence the favoritism. lol

I'd surely be feeling rather off myself If I had to go through all the bullsh** that she's been through.
Voice is quite perfect, while getting increasingly hardened as the story moves forward.

Good we so needed another meer vs hale thread....

For the record nothing against Meer in the slightest he just sounds bored as shepard and hale sounds natural. And I'm saying this with 2 full male shep playthroughs

I like meer,  I think the concept of Hale "Not sounding like a soldier" is absurd though.

I thought Meer has improved a lot. I didn't like him at all in ME1, especially at the start of the game. In turn I thought Hale was really good in ME1. In ME2 I think that turned around. Too many times Hale just went a bit over the top whereas Meer actually impressed me and I went in with very negative preconceptions. I would be interested in whether Bioware actually spent more time getting things right with Meer or not, I'm just surprised Hales standard seemed to have slipped a bit.

She's not "emotional' she displays "emotions."  There is a difference.

[Creativechick113]

I think what people forget, is that because we are each playing our own character and making our own decisions, we expect the character to say something in a way in which we would have meant it. So when the VA nails what was going through our mind, we say.... "They're great!"

I think that's why there is such a huge variety of people disliking one over the other or liking both or hating both. It's all in how we think they portray a character that can be so visibly diverse.

I personally like both. But Hale a little better!

I agree. I like both too, with the exception of femshep talking to Jacob. Besides, it adds some variety if you play the other gender instead of hearing everything said the same way again.

Tali definitely sounds like a soldier when you meet her on Freedom's Progress and she's slapping her whiney squad into line - although they mutiny on her later, pretty much.

Tali sounds anything but a soldier when you send her into the vents. My god, what moaning, even when she is 75% of the time left until she dies.

Ditto. Which version of Shepard do you identify with more? Often times, folks associate themselves with those that they connect/identify themselves with.

To a much lesser degree which is why I always used him after the first couple of times I sent Tali in. I'll have to send Jacob in and see how he handles things.

While i do overall prefer Hale's performance more, I think Meer has been consistently getting better (judging by the ME3 stuff we've seen).

In ME1 Meer's voice acting left alot to be desired imho, but he stepped up quite a bit inME2 and seems to be doing an even much better job in 3. Cant wait to see how it turns out.

[ME-ParaShep]

I don't know about some of you guy's hearing perceptions. but Mark Meer doesn't sound monotone to me. In terms of character personality, male Shepard isn't or shouldn't have to be a character who overly shows emotions. If anything, Shepard's personality and speaking tone is comparable to Samus Aran in Metroid: Other M. To start, Shepard and Samus are both galactic heroes and coincidentally, they act as bounty hunters. Yes, There are times when Shepard is a bounty hunter in a sense. Hunting for mercs, escapees, and villains of his own free will or for the Council. For characters that underwent military training and fought to save life throughout the galaxy on a galactic scale, wouldn't they have to be emotionally well-kept? When Samus speaks, most of the time she's stern, focused, prompt, and sometimes thoughtful. When in dire situations in Other M, she spoke with distress, worry, and frantic when she encountered Ridley again and when her Commander Adam sacrificed himself; all of which are understandable and acceptable considering the circumstances whether some people accept it or not. Shepard has emotional tones too. In Arrival he spoke with rightful emotion to Harbinger and to Admiral Hackett about the killed Batarian situation. He wasn't critically saddened and he shouldn't. He knows what's at stake and he knows that being emotionally injured isn't what will complete the mission.

The major reason of how Jennifer Hale sounded in Mass Effect 2 and Mark Meer's more stoic approach is the direction they were given by the voice director, I'm sure.

As someone mentioned on the first page: he voices the Vorcha and I think he did a really good job there as I couldn't tell it was him till I read about it.


I will admit, from videos I've seen he does have his moments... But it's still not enough emotion for me.

Jennifer Hale: Yes, in Mass Effect 2 there isn't much difference between how she speaks Paragon and how she speaks Renegade, while in the first game she softened up her voice for the Paragon lines. But I don't see a problem with how she sounded, I loved it.

Also, if you factor in what happens to Shepard in the beginning, she has motivation to sound the way she does however you play the game.
