Highly unlikely, considering all the promotion Jennifer Hale has done.

[Harmless Citizen]

Yes but it's pointless to say "hale IS shepard". It's completely dumb. It sounds as if these people think it's impossible to switch Hale for someone else. It's not.

Hale's FemShep has become as ingrained as Meer's male Shepard, and there are more people who actually play FemShep and like Hale's performance than those who do not. And if you actually think it's feasible to, in spite of all this, change VAs three months from release when all recordings are complete and the game is ready to go gold, you're fooling yourself.

Sometimes Hale botches a few lines and makes me cringe, but I wouldn't have FemShep any other way. Considering the sheer amount of lines she has to record, she's done a fabulous job. She sounds strong, determined, and passionate--just how I like my FemSheps.

Meer's also grown on me, too. I think he does better than a lot of people give him credit for. The snappy monotone lends this charming "Buzz Lightyear" quality to BroShep, and there are a few times when there's been just enough emotion in his lines that I was like, dude, whoa.

I read your entire post. It isn't theoretically impossible, but unless you think they'd actually push back the release date *again*, pay a newcomer for a redundant job, and risk the inevitable fan ire, it is practically impossible.

Unfortunately no, we are sticked to that annoying VA. It's alright I have about 30 male save ready for ME3 and only 2 for Femshep. Manly because I can't stand that voice. FemHawk are 1000% better.

Why do you need 30 saves? It has 2 endings. Female Hawk is Angelina Balerina...

Yes, that's what I was talking about. Its THEORETICALLY possible, but not a smart thing to do. I already said that.

Therefor I do not expect BioWare to change voice-actors, not now.  But if it was possible, I'd like to see Tara Strong take over Jennifer Hale's place.

I think I ruined Fairly Oddparents for my son by showing him a picture of Tara Strong and telling him that this was the voice of Timmy Turner.  Then we went to IMDB and discovered that she's also Ben Tennyson's original voice.  Luckily they aged him up in the new series and gave him a new voice, or else he would have been really confused...

I can't stand FemShep's voice, it's super boring & unattractive. FemHawk's voice is 100% pure awesomeness.

[Mr.House]

This request makes no sense at all. Hur dur let's change the voice of the PC in the last chapter derp herp.

[aj2070]

It may be possible to change voice over actors mid-series but if you want a sample of fan reaction, look for any forum post on Mordin or Michael Beattie, Mordin's voice actor then compound it. The Mordin fans are in full revolt and he has only been around for one game.

I sure as hell hope we get a new voice actress. I can't stand Hale's femshep.

You people want to exchange the VA right in the midst (sort of) of the series? That's like Bruce Willis getting ditched for Mr.T for "Die Hard" #3 and #4 (regardless of the movie qualities that is).

Hale sucks and we're getting a new femshep anyway.

As usual, you don't get your wish.  You might also be checking your christmas stocking for coal...

Don't worry, he is only looking for controversy, as usual.

Also, this thread is useless. Jennifer Hale is the VA, and I doubt they change that 3 months from release for any reason. I mean you can surely discuss and voice opinions as much as you like, but nothing of this changes ME3 in any way.

[Selene Moonsong]

I think Ms. Hale did well enough. FemShep is a Marine after all, so her speech patterns and tone would be different than say someone like Kelly, Liara, Emily Wong, or other female voice. If she sounded more feminine, she would be less believable as a Marine.

I would have preferred, however, that when speaking one on one with friends and romantic interests, that she was less military and more woman in such conversations.

Other than that, she is fine and I wouldn't like to see a switch. But as was stated, Ms. Hale is doing FemShep's voice based on evidence of her doing promotions for ME 3, it would be awfully strange to have her do promotional work if someone else was doing the voice.

Perhap's she does sound like she did 10 years ago, but her voice is both deep and raspy, making the character far older than her face appears, especially given the new default model.

Fit's my sheps face perfectly.  Obviously most femshep players feel the same way about theirs, soo.

I always thought she did?  Just slightly, but still there.

I'm not getting where she "sounds too old," honestly. Granted, the acting was a bit inconsistent (she was gruffer from time to time), but at some points, she sounded like a teenager - like that ginger-headed character from Totally Spies.

...And yes, I watched that show. Don't hate.

[Dark Eff3ct]

I HATE YOU!!!!!! HALE IS PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe she likes to channel her other roles from time-to-time or something.

Maybe. To be fair, she uses a much higher voice for the TS character, it was only the occasional inflection similarity and voice quality that led me to find out they were voiced by the same actress (same reason I recognised Claudia Black as Aethyta and the asari messenger). The result, though, was that she would sound very young...and then immediately go back to being (sometimes overly) gruff. That whiplash (and the few times that Hale hams it up) is my only qualm with her performance. She's otherwise excellent.

I hate both voices really.
Male Shep's is too flat and nasly and FemShep always sounds either bored, or horny.

It'd be much better if they just scrapped the whole 'voiced protaganist' nonsense and just left them silent.

[GodWood]

I understand, you'd rather play as a character and occasionally guide them down a path you desire.
Me? I'd rather be free to roleplay the character as I see fit, have more dialogue options and have more resources to spend on other content.

What I ask for is not dated is not 'dated', it's a matter of preference. Would you rather play a more 'cinematic' game with a more defined protaganist or would you rather have more freedom to roleplay your own character and mold them as you see fit?

Personally in a roleplaying game I'd like to have the freedom to roleplay a variety of characters. But of course this wish will never come true as the Mass Effect series is already set as a 'cinematic' series and Bioware's other old school RPG franchise Dragon Age has been raped raw in an attempt to appeal to the COD crowd.

[Harmless Citizen]

Mass Effect was always a cinematic series; a silent protagonist wouldn't fit. And if I remember correctly, it was never intended to be "pure" RPG. The devs, at the very least, never called it as much.

What happened to DA, on the other hand, was disappointing.
