I don't rly care who "delivers" the lines better. I simply cannot stand the sound of Hale's voice... she needs to open her mouth when she talks. It sounds like she is speaking through her teeth.

[sammysoso]

This is a pretty dumb debate, they both do a good job, and have a lot of fans.

It's like arguing about favorite flavors of ice cream.

Jennifer is good, but Meer is way more believable as a soldier. :|

I don't understand this line.  Why is he more believable as a soldier?

Cause women aren't in the army, duh... 

!! But..my sister was in the army..

Indoctrination theory, she's not.

You know who should say the Jellyfish line? Zaeed

"Big goddam stupid jellyfish"

I dunno, he just sounds like he could deliver it with comedy. That's the point of it though, comedy. Meer and Hale both have their respective strengths and weaknesses as Shepard. I rather fancy both myself.

These are my favourite lines from hale.

Everything about that Trial, Hale does amazingly well. Maybe she just really likes shouting.

/thread Zaeed would have been awesome doing that line!

Hale is a veteran in voicing characters while Meer not so much. Each has strengths and weaknesses. However, unlike Hale who is merely keeping up her excellent performance, Meer had a clear great evolution throughout the three games and I personally think he did a fantastic job in ME3.

[Kronner]

It's the same way for me. I like Meer's voice much better, but I still like and enjoy femShep/Hale too.

Meer has the better neutral military officer voice.

Wow for once i incorrectly guessed the actual topic of a thread.

Expected a link to yet another Steeeeve video...

Their both awesome, never understood some of the negativity Mark got in previous games.

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!

Hale sounded raspy to you?
Odd. The only character I can remember from ME 3 sounding raspy was Raphael Sbarge. I used to dread talking to Kaidan because I'd feel the urge to scratch my ears until they bled after every line he delivered.

[Direwolf0294]

What... I just don't... what?

I can't even comprehend how someone could prefer Meer to Hale. Hearing Meer talk in his nasally monotone makes my ears want to bleed.

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

Just my opinion though.

Wow sooo glad I'm not the only one! Agree 100% OP.. I hear it every line and I can't stand it.. I have a couple FemShep playthroughs

Fixed for you... Once you've heard one of Hales line, you've heard them all... seriously.. I'm not bashing Hale but what the OP is saying it true... she tries to hard to sound "badass" and all her lines end up sounding the same.

[Transgirlgamer]

Okay, here's a question. Why does Sheppard have to sound 'badass'? Surely the point is that she/he IS badass.

Plus, all the voice actors were probably just doing what the director wanted.  If you have a problem with the voices, don't blame the artists, they didn't choose which takes were used.

Yeah, well hearing Hale makes me want to cut my tongue off and slice it into pieces to shove in my ear canals so I can't hear her anymore, then take a .45 and blow a hole in my temple in peace and quiet.

/sarcasm

This thread is ridiculous.  People have different voices, and people respond differently to them.  Nobody sounds "more military" because a person can have any voice and still be in the military. Then we have comments like yours which are just so over-the-top, it's silly.

Yeah but Shep is badass regardless I mean everyone of Hale's lines are low pitched and sound the same.. some of her lines completely destroy the feeling you got from the one before... Even in the beginning:

Anderson: You look good Shepard. Maybe a little soft around the edges. How you holding up since being relieved from duty?

FemShep: It's not so bad once you get used to the hot food and soft beds.

Me: >_< Dammit Hale!

[Hatikvah07]

I think Meer is a lot more comfortable doing snark happy a-hole Shepard, and Hale is better at doing badass warrior Shepard (basically, MaleShep Paragon, FemShep Renegade). Meer was kinda boring in ME1, but then again the script didn't do him that many favors. ParagonShep has to say some ridiculous things in ME1 (seriously, like all of Liara's romance dialogue is super lame, as is his "you'll dream of a warm place and then you'll wake up there!" resolution to the Talitha quest).

Hale definitely sounds more badass, so her quips and Bond one-liners come off great, while Meer sounds forced. Then again, Meer delivers some lines perfectly (his delivery of "I'm sorry, I'm getting a lot of bull**** on this line" to the Illusive Man is a standout).

"STEEEEEEVEEEE!" is going to sound ridiculous no matter who is saying it.

This I can agree with, it's not 100% the VA's fault..

[FemmeShep]

Kind of surprised OP and others have taken up the argument that Hale's voice wasn't natural to a soldier's voice. In fact, many that have criticized FemShep's voice made the exact opposite argument of that. They wanted her voice to be more feminine, and less butch/sounding like a soldier. 

So I'm not sure what you mean by it not sounding like a soldier. I think her voice is very tough and fits the character perfectly.

I love how opposite some of these arguments can go. I remember all the way back to ME1, people were complaining Hale was too manly, and not sexy enough. And now you got people saying she's too sexy and not soldier enough.

..You have now entered, the Twilight Zone...

I don't mind either, but I did prefer Hale's voice to Meer's when you encounter Ashley in her drunken stupor.

[Somath Cegem]

After doing some comparing, Renegade Femshep comes across as angry at everything, Renegade Broshep is just very grumpy all the time, both work well imo.

I'll look in comparing the Paragon dialog properly later but from what I can tell broshep always sounds proud where as femshep seems to be about to laugh half the time.
