As many of you know, if there is any kind of FemShep or voice actor thread started, I'm usually there trolling Meer fans about how he sounds like a 6th grader rehearsing a school play.

But after hearing the last 20 seconds of the release trailer just now, I'm going to have to officially apologize to Meer and his fans. That was an excellent bit of voiceover work. I could sense real passion, nuance, and depth of character.

If he delivers in the rest of the game like that trailer, I can finally do some male Sheperd playthroughs without getting bored :D

FemShep overacted so much, she was practically eating through the stage.

To me he sounds like he was reading it off a script, like he always does. If it's the same trailer I'm thinking of.

Spoken like someone who's never heard her. Ah the ignorant trolls get easier and easier to spot.

IMO it's the exact opposite, Hale was monotone, not Meer.

So you can dislike Meer, but if he dislikes Hale he's a troll?

He's definitely a lot better this time around if the trailer is an indication. I can't wait to play through my male Sheps now.

Wait, which trailer are you referring to? Could you give a link?

EDIT: Neverming, got it. Had to refresh my tab of gametrailers.com.

EDIT2: Holy **** that trailer was another awesome one. Bioware knows how to make trailers.

I don't dislike Meer, I consider him dull. Because he is.
Accusing Hale of overacting it not something even the worst Hale-hater could possibly do if they ever bothered to listen to her.

Because her opinion is fact, and Hale is a master thespian.

that was a massive improvement over meer's ME1 work. hopefully he holds that quality for most of the game. he was just fine the first time for me, but im in the impossibly bias minority of people who actually have voices similar to meer and can relate to their sheps better because of it.

and hale did do a bit of overacting in ME1, but for the most part was spot-on, great as she is, she cant be oscar material all the time, sheesh.

K bub, your opinion/taste = fact

We get it, I'm an idiot for thinking otherwise.  My apologies

You know what? Compared to Meer, my printer is a master thespian.

I thought he sounded fine in the newest Gamespot vid, but then again his voice never bothered me in the first game anyways.

Of course.  You're only allowed an opinion if it agrees with The Angry One's.  If it doesn't, you're an evil troll/have no taste/are an idiot.  Didn't you know that?

(Speaking as someone who likes both voice actors and gets tired of the fandumb.)

I played through as both male and female shepard..yes Meer was bland (He seems to have improved for ME2) But I do think  Hale was overacting...she was trying to hard and it showed <_<

She had about I'd say 1/3rd more emotion than Meer in the original game, not sure how that constitutes overacting to such a degree...  Going from Wooden robot to slightly less wooden robot isn't really over acting.

THIS is overacting  www.youtube.com/watch - Amazing movie, but really, that's eating through the stage :lol:

Compared to Hale, William Shatner is a master of subtle performance.

Of course when you praise the dull monotone of Meer, you no doubt consider any show of emotion overacting.

Am I the only one who thought William Holden was better than Peter Finch in that film? Even though I loved both.

Er, back on topic. Judging from the launch trailer, I'd say Meer has improved quite a bit, he sounds great.

Of course, when you praise such hysteria like Hale, any sort of subtlety and actual acting is taken as monotony.

Hehe, I liked em both, Peter Finch is great in Network, I can't imagine that movie without that scene, but really, that should be a model for all would be actors of how not to act in a play or movie, :P
