Personally, I don't like Hale's voice, and I've played many games that she has voiced in. Jedi Academy, perhaps, just left a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to Hale's voice acting. Her VA in Jedi Academy was atrocious, in my opinion.

fem shep isnt necessary in trailers we know she will be good. me 2 is about bringing new gamers along for the ride. cannon shep was decided and it would be hella confusing for new gamers who are used to on face promos. look at dragon age. they picked one badass guy in the trailers and it worked. they will most likely keep canon male shep for the trailers

Actually, I thought the guy who did Rosh was atrocious. *shudder*

Gamers who can be confused should try get a brain because that would be really, really dumb.

Unfortunately, maybe the Marketing people need to cater to the lowest common denominator in terms of intelligence. <_<

Sir, you're going to get a coronary if you keep up like that. If it bothers you so much over what some of us try and post....then.just.IGNORE.it.

You almost sound personally insulted that some of us even 'dare' to make such requests.  In my OP I even noted that Hale liked Meer and his work, so what's wrong?

Even though you seem almost spastic in your response, doesn't mean people are going to stop asking.

Deal with it.

[DaeJi]

I think the reason a lot of people bring up that they think Hale is better than Meer is because a lot of fans choose to play a female Shepard because of the voice work. I know I did.

[Schneidend]

From a purely practical standpoint, female gamers just aren't a big enough portion of the market to cater to them. That's all there really is to it. It's certainly not a good thing, but the truth is rarely pretty. Maybe if our society hadn't ostracized gaming at the industry's inception, and maybe if society didn't put pressure on women to NOT play games, things wouldn't be the way they are. EA is a business, and they didn't get where they are by taking the huge risk of attempting to change the marketplace.

Not necessarily, latest estimates put females at 40% of total gamers. That's quite a market to ignore.

People are just upset about the lack of FemmShep.

I think they decide to take it on Mark.

If Jennifer Hale herself praised Mark, why should we fans take it out on him?

Because people can have differing opinions?

[EatinMcRib]

Overlooked is an understatement. A hell of a lot of people didn't even know that FemShep was even an option.

Which is odd, considering Casey Hudson has said on numerous occasions where Shepard's story is OUR story, so Shepard is whoever we want her/him to be. So, there IS no canon Shepard...only a default dude.

To OP: Thank you for posting this. I'm a fan of Jennifer Hale's voice acting and I loved listening to the interview. I agree with her that it would be great to see a FemShep more. At all, actually, would be nice.



Cheers

I think it's safe to say that the "cannon Shepard" is a male.

*Looks from side to side expecting to get punched in the face*

All the trailers and artwork show a male shep and the launch trailer constantly referred to him as a he. I mean, kotor had cannon genders for their leads so why not mass effect?

Anyways, I like Hale, BUT she just seemed grumpy for all her lines in ME1.

You're very welcome! The only way Bioware/EA is going to know what we think is with posts like this.

I'd shoot Male Shepard out a cannon alright...

And Casey Hudson has stated there is no 'canon' Shepard...only Default.

[Doodly_Coopens]

Maybe.

As much as I like Hale, Sheperloo is the posterboy of ME and it would be stupid to change that for the final game.

 

+1
that would create confusion in future trailers or game cover.

[Destructo-Bot]

Male player here who prefers her voice acting over Mark Meers. Jennifer Hale certainly deserves any and all recognition she can get. Scuttlebutt says Meer has better voice work in ME2, we'll see.

Yeah but that's including wii, iphone, facebook etc...  If you looked at the proportion of women playing ME I think you would find it to be a lot lower.

[Zlarm]

And honestly I don't know understand how so many people can get so worked up over this. I mean I post my complaints on these board just like everyone else, but my complaints/worries have to with BioWare pulling stuff out of the game. I don't give a rats arse whether they advertise certain features or not, as long as they're in the game.

[Yakko77]

It's so good to hear her voice again.  I can't wait to hear her in action again as femshep!!!

You're lumping Facebook with the XBox, PS3, etc.?
