 Ah... another one of these threads... used to see these all the time back in the day... what could possibly go wrong? 

[DiebytheSword]

Both have their strong and weak points, and I wouldn't point to one or the other doing a better job of portraying Commander Shepard. Hale is good, but Mark Meer shows better range with his other voices.

Where is the 'They're both great' option?

You're right!

I like how some people say "I'm gonna vote Meer cause I only played ShepLoo" - brilliant!

[aya001]

I can't be objective in this poll because I'm a big BIG fan of Jennifer Hale, so... I'm sorry and he's a great voice actor but Hale until the end!

[Daiyus]

Mark Meer. I think Hale is very competent VA, but after playing a male-shep, fem-shep always came off as fake. Maybe it's just that I got used to Meer, but I never feel connected to Hale's voicework.

ME: Hale > Meer

ME2: Hale = Meer

ME3: Meer > Hale

It was correct the first time.

Both are good but there is no option for this so not voiting.

Mark Meer makes Shepard sound like he has the personality of a potato. So definitely Hale for me.

[ozthegweat]

I prefer Hale, as I think Meer sounds a bit bored. The part where Hale really, REALLY shines is (mark text to see hidden spoilers) during the final moments with Anderson in ME3 in the Citadel control room. Badly wounded, exchanging their last words, combined with the wonderful music... I was really moved during that scene.

There were other great performances as well, I loved Seth Green's delivery of Joker's comments, Martin Sheen had great dialogue, especially at the end of ME3, and Tricia Helfer as EDI was quite good, but what sold me was the moment when (again, mark text) the Reaper is destroyed during the final push of ME3, and the otherwise so neutral and calm EDI cries "Reaper destroyed!" and you hear that emotion in her voice, showing her transformation to a real sentient being.

Voice acting in games in general greatly improved in the last years, which is wonderful, as you need that in addition to a great story and great soundtrack to really convey emotion.

Without a doubt Jennifer of course.

I like this human. He understands.

Not having the luxury of a face to help carrying her acting she still made me fall for Tali. Purely on the personality she conveyed in her voice. Pretty impressive to me.

Sticking to just the Sheps, I agree with the assessment that Hale started stronger, but by trilogy end they balanced out. Love em both. But that doesn't mean I don't love playing (or playing with) a female trooper in SWTOR to hear Hale do more femshep.

[known_hero]

I didn't like Meer in ME2 but he did a great job in ME3. Hale is still my favorite though. Femshep is awesome on so many levels.

I think Mark Meer doesn't get enough credit for just how talented he is. He does alot of different voices in the games besides Commander Shepard which I don't think many people even recognise - that in itself just shows his incredible vocal-range and talent.

For Commander Shepard I prefered Jennifer Hale though.

I think this sums it up for me, as well. Generally, I think Hale was overall better, but Meer really stepped up his game in ME3; Hale borderlined on overselling it a bit in ME3.

Meer.

While I agree that Hale is a fantastic voice actress, her performances in the Mass Effect series imho left a lot to be desired. She might have been the better of the two in ME 1, but Meer improved greatly for the second game and in the third he really nailed it. He's able to infuse Shepard with a warmth (Paragon) / menace (Renegade) that's oftentimes absent from Hale's delivery. And most importantly there's a subtlety to his delivery that doesn't hit you over the head with the emotion it wants to evoke.

I found it the other way around. Hale nailed the line"We're going to need bigger guns" in the first game with such dry wit and deadpan it was funny as hell, Meer sounded like he was in a bad action movie.

Hale deliver of the lines that lead up to sex scene with Liara in ME1 sounded caring, sexy, curious, and funny, Meer sounded like a desperate creepy old man begging for sex.

For me Hale actually got better in all 3 games and her performance and natural chemistry with Ali Hillis (the VA for Liara) was great especially in LotSB where the two of them sounded like they were in the same car and room while Meer and Hillis sounded like they were talking on the phone to each other.

I feel that Hale also better chemistry with the VAs for Garrus, Tali, Wrex, Grunt, Joker, Anderson, Legion, Traynor, and Cortez than Meer did. I will say for the record I did think Meer had much better chemistry with the VAs for Ash and Miranda.

The truth is that by the time Meer got better as Shepard, it was too little, too late. Jennifer Hale had already established herself for me as THE Commander Shepard.

XD Jennifer Hale, in the beginning the votes looked like they were going towards Meer and I was thinking NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, sexist universe (grumbles), and then I checked the polls again today and I was like YESSSSSSSSSS xD.

I really don't know why but for some reason it feels very good when you know you're not alone in believing somebody is the best, even when it's all subjective. For some reason there is this dread that if not enough people love her then I'll never see her again and I'll get stuck with voice actors from DA2 who were good sure, they weren't bad...but they weren't Hale. Anyway, there just aren't many voice actors I admire that can pull what she can !

I think  went both ways. There were lines that Meer absolutely nails that Hale does not. Especially when something needed to sound lighter. Like the mock voice when Shep does "Garrus Vakarian, honored war hero." Meer was much funnier. Hale hit it with the same 'badassfully' she hit everything else.

And personally, I liked Meers version of the bigger guns line. Specifically because it was trying to sound like a bad action movie. Particularly the one I take that line from. 'Split Second' with Rutger Hauer.

Overall I think I prefer Hale when going renegade or badass, and Meer when going funny or paragon.

[BatmanPWNS]

As great as Hale can be, sometime her angry voice sounds forced and not at all scary. Just look at the end of Project Overlord. Meer was perfect there.
