Did you research the other characters historical performances when you watched who was voicing ME2? Don't even bother answering... it was rhetorical. My issue isn't your free speech, its your questionable motives for being "concerned" about her "abilities". I'd venture to say that you just dislike her and for whatever reason have a predisposition on why BioWare might have hired her... lets say the whole "hire her for her looks" position.
I always check up on voice actors/actors when they're cast in VO roles. I want to see if they've been involved in things I enjoyed in the past. It seems to me that you're pretty quick to label people who disagree with you as having ulterior motives and disliking her. Guess what, I'd never heard of her until this morning. She's not even a blip on my radar, which is even more reason for me to see what else she's done.

No, you're wrong. Its not what I think, it is what I am observing. It's just funny that now all of a sudden we are worried about peoples acting background, when I don't recall hearing anyone complain when Y'vonne got signed on, or [insert name here] actor or actress.
To me it is just amusing that people don't normally come out with what they really want to say when making points but rather hide behind false motives to make a point. So you are really worried that BioWare just picked her up for [insert assumptive reason(s) here] and totally ditched an audition or let her slip through the cracks (mind you with the same personnel that hired the "award winning" voice actors and actresses)???
I'm curious.
Afraid not, chief. You are reporting your interpretation of what you're observing, colored with your own opinion. I'm saying exactly what I want to say here, not hiding behind my 'observations' to say what I need to. Personally, I think voice actors get the short shrift. They get passed over for work in order to score Big Name Actors<tm> to fill VO roles. So, yes, despite what you may think I do get concerned when companies hire 'Names' to fill roles instead of people qualified to do the job. I was concerned when Martin Sheen was cast, when Yvonne was cast, when Tricia Helfer was cast, etc. No company is perfect and sometimes they have to do what it takes to move their product. That's why people like Angelina Jolie and Hugo Weaving get VO roles. They're names and they draw in crowds and money. That's my concern behind the Chobot casting. You can try to make it personal all you want, but if they had put Olivia Munn there or one of the Glee kids I'd be saying the exact same thing.

You know what EA made the choice to hire Jessica Chobot for Mass Effect 3 and you as a player have a choice to either buy or not . but how dare can anyone say she does not belong in the game really just because she never did any VO work . I think its rather disgusting you and your kind make me want to freaking vomit and puke . Jessica Chobot deserves better than this crap but what can I expect from a forum that is scared to f**king death of women in games dressing sexy and looking good.
I do not know why they hired her, that is my concern. I'm buying the game regardless, but the decision to cast her smacks of marketing as opposed to a creative move. I have ever right to be concerned that someone has been hired for a job they are not qualified for. As a consumer, I have the right to expect a qualified mechanic works on my car, not just some guy who used to sell them.
Getting overly dramatic doesn't validate your point any more than name calling does. I'm curious how you get from concern over her VA skill to being "f**king death of women in games dressing sexy and looking good". I haven't said a word about the character model. I don't care what she looks like. I care what she
sounds like.
