ME3 Voice Acting: Best and Worst

Tricia Helfer also does a good job, keeping her voice quite monotone while impersonating an AI, trying to learn to understand the world of organics.
Brandon Keener and Ash Sroka are also perfectly fitting their roles.
The voice acting I didn't like, was Raphael Sbarge. Not that he did a bad job, but I found his voice not fitting for an emotional guy like Kaidan.

I also think the voiceacting was very solid overall... the only bad one was Diana Allers. I have nothing against you Chobot, you can lick all the gaming stuff you want, but you are no voice actor.

Best: William Salyers as Mordin, I haven't even noticed the actor has changed
Worst: too obvious to point out, wish they got her face right at least
I swear they modeled her after Blackie Lawless

Worst: Chobot and Stargazer and, though he isn't actually bad, I didn't like William Salyers as Mordin. His voice kept sounding just a little bit off when you're used to ME2 Mordin.

Chobot and Aldrin for worst, but I don't really hold it against either of them as they aren't actually voice actors.

This. Nothing, not even Chobot, was worse than the VA of Shep & company in the STEEEEEVVVVEEEE scene

Chobot was uniformly horrible, the very first line she said sounded wrong. The inproper inflection hurt my ears and her voice was even of lower quality than everyone else like they recorded it in a basement with cheap off the shelf equipment that got at The Source or a Best Buy.

I liked it! I thought it had the right blend of ****+0le and unintentional humor.

Diana Allers wasn't really good (...but to be fair, they didn't give her good lines to work with)

And that's choosing from a very long list of great actors in this game. In the end I put it down to a combination of a great voice plus excellent writing for his character.
Worst of all: Jessica Chobot (Diana Allers)
To be fair, she isn't an actress. Also her dialog is poorly written. Bad writing plus a bad VA is a disaster waiting to happen.
Most Annoying: Ali Hillis (Liara)
I've heard some of her other work and she's awesome. But in my personal opinion he whole breathy, light air talk annoys the crap out of me. Luckily she's one of the best written characters in the series. This is a case of not really blaming the voice actor or writer but the director. Hillis has talent, it just wasn't used to it's full extent.

Hale was fantastic as Commander Shepard and Ali Hillis was flawless as Liara T'Soni, the two of them stole the show for me.

I agree with this.
Yeah..here's my answer.

As for best, I have to go with the big three: Martin, Keith, and Lance (in that order). The characters of TIM, Anderson and Hackett wouldn't have been nearly as good without them.

I'm also not going to hate on Chobot. She barely had any lines, and her character didn't matter.
After a LONG break from the series, I bought Shadow Broker the day before ME3 came out...and I was struck by how dry Liara is. There is very little emotion. Character choice? Poor acting? I don't know...but it didn't get any better in ME3. I have to say the worst then is Liara. Whether it's intentional or not, she's the one character I never feel ANY connection with. Martin Sheen is really bad too, because I can always picture him saying the lines. I never thought of Freddy Prinze while listening to Vega.
Best is a hard call. Mordin would be the obvious choice, but they switched voice actors for ME3. Grunt would be another obvious, but he died in my ME2. So I have to go Garrus.

Sure, she didn't got a very intelligent role, but if you are an anchor you have to bring the right dread to the public to convince them to join up for the fight of survival. She sounded the whole time like cooking water and explaining it to the public.

I had no idea who the voice actor was (and to some degree still don't), and I instantly thought she was horrible... The only reason I kept her on the ship was because I thought it would help the war effort. Then when I learned who she was, it all made sense. They could have pretty much picked ANY one of you people that like Mass Effect here in the forums, and you would have done as good a job, or better (I am leaning towards the latter).Velocithon wrote...
I think everyone did a phenomenal job. Although I don't like Male Shepards voice, but that's just me. It isn't like he did a bad job...
I don't mind Allers. I bet if people didn't know it was Chobot they would never have noticed.

As for the worst, well, Mordin's replacement did a good job but it's just not Mordin for me anymore. But Chobot's acting was just plain horrible, as was Aldrin's (Stargazer), because they're just not voice actors.
