The Engeneers, the Illusive Man and Mordin so far. That may change later on in the game, though.

[Fates end]

Liz...Definitely Liz.

Carrie-Anne Moss and Courtenay Taylor. (Aria and Jack)
The former delivers the character perfectly. I have to mention the spacing, the emphasis ms Moss uses, that's... well, I don't hear Carrie-Anne Moss there but I hear Aria speaking. And that's the best thing you can say about an actor.

And Courtenay Taylor... she adds a special depth to the character. It is something behind, between the lines. Especially if you engage the paragon romance with her, and she tries to speak like a badass biotic ****, but you hear that she's struggling with her voice, you actually see that she tries to hide the quivering of her voice. That I found really touching.

Anyways, as for the best actor in the game, of course I'd say Martin Sheen. But for voice acting specifically, he only takes the third place. (Well, he didn't have a chance to shine yet, at least when speaking of extreme situations ) I saw the Illusive Man and not Martin Sheen, so that's another gratitude.

edit: Special mention: Mordin. Mordin, Mordin and more Mordin.

btw, the game-registering site is down, or am I missing something? Maybe the problem is with my browser, I know 'BW social' is not exactly fond of Opera.

i forgot Mordin he is an amazing character in every single way

[Groggy Grognard]

I'm still pretty early in the game, but my nominations are similar to some of you. Carrie-Anne Moss hit the nail on the head with Aria. She manages to carry the perfect bit of straight-faced sang froid and haughty indifference that you would imagine someone in her position would have.



But Mordin - good Lord! It's like hearing William Shatner reading an xteenth century biology book edited by e e cummings while juiced on 10 Red Bulls and a bit of helium! I didn't have an emotional reaction to Mordin, but more of an immediate, visceral reaction to him - 'No more drugs for THAT man!' It's quite rare to find a character that can draw that strong reaction. And as I go through more interactions with Mordin, my appreciation for the voice acting only growns. So as of this moment, my vote goes with Mordin.

Jennifer Hale is amazing in this game. she would get the best voice actor award of forever for this performance

Is any fan of female Shephard and consequently Jennifer Hale disappointed with her voice work in this game compared to the original? She was still great but I felt she was lacking in contextually appropriate inflections and tonalities in reacting to certain in-game situations. The nuance and passion from the first game just wasn't there.

I loved her work in the first game, and I'm enjoying it just as much in part two. I'm not that far in yet but so far Shepard once again is a delight to listen to (both Ms. Hale and Mr. Meer) and though I can't remember the fellow's name who voices Garrus, it really seems like that voice has matured in a believable way that coincides with the character's development. He sounds wiser, there is nuance in his words.

[CoolbeansMcGee]

Martin Sheen is absolutely perfect in this game.

[Man785]

Mordin won me over with his singing voice. seriously



I am especially glad how Jack's character is coming out. I don't think the game commercials did her justice. Made her look one dimensional, IMO.



The two engineers are hilarious, but I'm not so sure its voice acting but good writing.

[Typhaeon]

Hell, I didn't even know that Aria was voiced by Carrie-Ann Moss. I guess the old Star Wars crowd really do nail the voice acting gigs, with Mark Hamill being the quintessential Joker.



I guess I haven't gotten far enough but I'm kinda disappointed not hearing Keith David yet, if he's still in it.

[Rogue-Element]

Jennifer Hale, she's simply born for this kind of stuff. Amazing voice, she puts the badass in my renegade femshep .

In general, I think the majority of the voice acting is top notch, and I definitely have to agree about Jack. I thought she'd end up a one-dimensional caricature of the tattooed tough girl thanks to the ads. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that she's a real character (moreso than Jacob in my opinion).

It's really hard to pick a single best voice actor. At the moment, I'm particularly pleased with Courtenay Taylor, Liz Sroka, Jennifer Hale, Michael Beattie, and Brandon Keener. Er, yeah, I really narrowed that list down, didn't I?

lol its hard to narrow down the list when they are all so good

[RevilFox]

I haven't heard a voice actor I don't like yet, but right now, for me, it's Adam Baldwin by a wide margin.

Yvonne Strahovski, but I am biased.

so am i mostly because she is australian and i love to hear the australian accent(which i can only ever hear if its next to an american accent)

[WarlockSoL]

I've gotta go with Martin Sheen too, but honestly, voice cast in this game is phenominal in general. The entire time I have been playing I've been seriously impressed with both the voice work and the writing - it's a huge step up from ME1.



P.S. - Don't know who voices them, but I need to throw out a special mention for the two engineers on the Normandy which are both great (and the guy has sort of a "Scotty" quality to him too - although I think he's Irish and not Scottish )

[Wishpig]

I REALLY want to know how much money they spent on hireing these awesome voice actors.

[T1nk3rb311]

The voice of female Shepard is still God.



Joker is in second place.

Yes sir! I totally forgot that she is Australian; I'm a big Chuck fan, so I'm used to hearing her speak with an American accent. Which she pulls off very well!

lol i would watch Chuck if i could ever manage to see the first episode on tv i just like our accent suits the kinda role miranda plays,kinda like heath ledger's australian accent made the joker sound even more insane in the dark knight....our accent is just evil

Yes she was great (and by far still the best VA in the game) but I can't help feeling that there was a certain "je ne sais quoi" missing in her performance this time around. Could be the VA direction that is at fault or perhaps it is likely my dislike of the sequel that is clouding my judgment.

On a different note, I thought Carrie-Anne Moss did a brilliant job as Aria T'Loak. Martin Sheen unfortunately sounded too much like Martin Sheen to feel erstwhile to my ears and I think he overacted a tad as well, also it was probably just me but I couldn't help feeling that the face of TIM just wasn't congruent with the voice. Also noteworthy was the VA for Tali and Simon Templman as Admiral Gerrel. Apart from that no one else really stood out.

If by evil you mean bad ****! Nothing is cooler then an australian accent. It's cool, sexy, and tough all at once, I don't think any other accent is all three so strongly.

I HIGHLY suggest you watch Chuck it's a great TV show, and Strahovski is a freakin goddess.

[Evercrow]

All of them did a great work, I never had such satisfying overall experience from any game or film yet.All voices seems to be the right fit for their charachters(like that quarian marine, for ex.).But if i have to pick...

Mordin is my favorite. I already started to love him for his meaningful breaths, but his singing was the last nail.But I suppose, the game character plays here a bigger part)
Voice acting for Jack is really good,you notice that if you go for paragon romance.
Meer nailed some of his phrases perfectly,especially for renegade-style.Just try shooting Conrad in the leg

And i don't know about acting, but voice of Shoreh Aghdashloo was strangely captivating and fitting for a quarian.

And I almost forget about greatest of the cerberus crew -   irishman engineer Donnely

"Don't F*** With Aria" is most like a reference to something and my friends vote is Death Race.

But the best acting has to go to EDI (Helfer), Garrus, Kregger (Baldwin), and Illusive Man (Sheen) in no order.

Helfer is in there becasue whenever I hear "That was a joke" i crack up.
