I prefer Meer for mostly Paragon Sheps, and Hale for mostly Renegade Sheps; they just seem to suit the two styles well.

[Gill Kaiser]

I like them both. In ME1 Meer was a bit too monotonous, but he upped his game in ME2 and in ME3 I thought he was fantastic. Jennifer Hale is always dependable, but Meer knocked ME3 out of the park, aside from a couple of funny exceptions ("STEEEVE! ...you sure?")

[InfiniteDemise]

The best one is obviously the one I'm emotionally invested in.

Duh.

[jess05]

I have a a male and female Shepard, and there are few slightly different lines between them.

I can't say I dislike either, as I thought they were both excellent. But if I were to choose a favorite ...

Probably Hale.

Hale is more consistent I feel. Meer does an ok job, but can be a little uneven at times. I would love to hear Kevin Conroy do Shepard. That would be epic.

And have Mark Hamill voice all of the other characters.

they are both good voice actors, but that "Cult of Hale" crowd that goes on and on about her is as annoying as hell

Meer has a natural soldier-ish voice, and it worked well. He didn't need to force it.

I'm playing through my FemShep now, and while she's a good VA I find she's trying way too hard to sound 'badass', and adding a sort of raspyness to the end of literally almost every line. It drives me insane. Now that I've noticed it, I hear it in everything!

Just my opinion though.

You are wrong and you are a grotesquely ugly freak.

[M2J Revan]

Can't say I really have a preference. I think they both did phenominally, though there were a few lines that I thought one or the other pulled off better.

I do have to agree with the opinion that male Shep seems to fit the Paragon role a bit better than FemShep, who fits the renegade better. Even though either voice actor could do either role well, they just seemed to have different personalities in general. Case in point, on Mars, male Shepard hesitates when he states that "Delta Team" took out the Alliance reinforcements, where the female Shepard pulls it off flawlessly.

Well, I think they were both good. Krogan hugs for all.

I'm another one of those heretics that actually likes both voices. The internet would lead you to believe you can't like both (just like you can't like both Star Trek and Star Wars apparently). I've found that neither of them is consistently better than the other. In other words, some parts of the script are better performed by Meer, and some parts are better performed by Hale.

The final talk with Anderson for example, I think comes across as a more emotional moment with Hale. But they both did some mighty fine work in the series.

The story is written with Male Shepard as the main Shepard people will play.

Female Shepard is very masculine for a woman in general. Female Shepard has a masculine voice when compared to someone like Ashley, who retains a lot of her femininity.  Bioware makes female Shepard very masculine so the story makes more sense.

Female Shepard, in my opinion, exists to give people the story from an alternative perspective and to also satisfy female players who want to role play as a female character.

The story just seems to be written with Male Shepard as the main protagonist.

When the series was first given to us, it was advertised as a this RPG where you could role play as a space badass who got to romance blue chicks and human chicks. James Bond crossed with Captain Kirk in Space. Liara and Ashley were the "Bond Girls."

i liked both.

[PsyrenY]

They're both good. I didn't like Meer in the beginning but he's gotten better at his delivery as the series went on. His paragon in particular is very moving.

I prefer Hale's voice to Meer for one reason: She doesn't sound like she just got the script and she's reading it... slowly

lol, exactly 

[MrDudley]

Meer Shepard > Hale Shepard

I always felt that Meer is really delivering one-liners while Hale sounds more 'real" and emotional

Although I prefer FemShep, I still cringe everytime she uses her aggresive flirt-voice, especially with Jacob & Garrus in ME2 and romanced Thane is ME3...Like she overdosed on the horny-pills or something

Blasphemy!

In all seriousness though, I find Hale's performance better. Especially at the end when Shepard is talking with Anderson and struggling to reach the console.

Meer -> Meera and Jojen -> Jojen -> Jo-jo -> Jar Jar… JAR JAR Binks.

COINCIDENCE?!

The fact that you pulled a parralel out of Game of Thrones, Star Wars and Mass Effect has left me with an overwhelming boner.

Even if it is Jar Jar...

[MrDudley]

Meer's performance just fits the genre a whole lot better.

Watch Stargate SG-1 and Star Trek:TNG.

Meer could deilver "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot" much better. Sci Fi is all about delivering badass one liners in a specific manner.

I find myself really starting to agree with this. I love Jennifer Hale, though, since I prefer to play as male Shepard, I don't play her that often, but the people who claim that she is perfect and flawless and that she is better than Mark Meer almost entirely on the basis of her BEING Jennifer Hale really start to bug me. Both have their good and bad deliveries and moments in the course of the game.

People have preferences that are not yours. Film at eleven.

Personally I think Maleshep is the better paragon, but that the Femsheps plays as the better renegade.
But that is just my opinion, no need to go spreading it around.

This.

Meer's vocie just doesn't work with renegade, imo. Doesn't feel as natural as Hale doing renegade

And while Hale does sound good when playing paragon, I feel Meer suits it better

Both have their great moments. Both have their bad moments.

Overall, ME3 was the best for both of them, especially Meer. A lot of it due to the better writing and more importantly voice directing. I don't know if they got someone different, but they were able to direct ALL of the actors much better.

However, the whole "Hale is superior" crowd is incredibly annoying.

[Alpha-Centuri]

Meer won me over with his speech with Garrus about the bar in heaven. Blew it out the water.

[Vexille]

I like both VA's

I just dont find a woman saving the galaxy believable, so Meer is the better Shep.
