are you ****ing kidding me after playing femshep three times I tried to play the game again using male shep to try it out, god couldn't stand him

I'm the complete opposite. Played 3 times as a male, tried female. Couldn't.

Perhaps some people just get used to one, can't do it with the other.

Personally, I feel some of male Shepard's renegade lines are the best in the game. For both games, actually.

[Exile Isan]

There's only a few I dislike, ManShep being the most obvious. Funny thing is that I know Mark Meer can act better than that as he does VO's all over the game and I can't pick him out anywhere, but he sounds, IMHO, horrible as Shepard.
Of course Jennifer Hale has her moments too, like when talking to Jacob.  Some of that's bad writing too, but you know...

Dislike: MaleShep, Tali.

[Spanking Machine]

Likes and dislikes aside, after multiple playthroughs of ME 1 and now Me2, I would be disappointed if any of the characters sounded different in ME3. Their voices are a major component of what defines them as characters.

[kaimanaMM]

I love most of the voice actors in ME2, they're phenomial. 

My absolute number one pick would have to be Thane.  I could listen to Thane for hours, his VA did such a great job.

Other favorites include Garrus, Samara, Mordin, Legion, Jack and Shalaa'Ran.  Those are the ones that come immediately to my mind.  I don't have a male Shepard but I think Mark Meer does a fantastic job from what I've heard from videos and my husband's playthroughs.  Jennifer Hale is awesome, better than ME1, imo.

I didn't like Liara's voice this time around, it sounded very forced.  "Everyone needs information, Shepard."  She just had some strange delivery of the lines. 

[Madriker]

I like 'em all, with the exception of Maleshep an' Liara. Not a fan of Mark Meer's work with Shepard an' Liara's anemic tone gets annoying after a while.



Everyone else was awesome, especially the board on the Migrant Fleet.

[Sassymcgee]

The maleshep voice actor in all honesty. Good voice, way too damn monotone. I wish I could play a female shep. Night and day. 

However there is one exception:

Telling the volus to charge. Maleshep is infinitely better in this one line.

[gotthammer]

Like: Most of the voices, esp. FemShep (Jennifer Hale is awesome), Wrex (and Krogans, general), Mordin (more singing next time, please!), Tali, Kal'Reegar (Jayne!), Xen (Aeryn!), Anderson, Joker, Asari Bartender (who voiced her?) and Udina (coz' I actually feel like I want to hurt him...)

Dislike: MaleShep and Jacob (maybe it's the writing and not the actor?). Miranda, at times, sounds a bit 'off', but is, otherwise, ok.

Love-

Mordin

Garrus

Aria

Morrigan-er admiral what'sherface

FemShep. God. Is it wrong to think the character who basically represents yourself is totally sexy? Jennifer Hale is amazing.



Dislike-

Always been kinda iffy about Liara. It's not bad necessarily but it's kinda...annoying, at bits.

MaleShep. I just can't play as a male Shepard, it bothers me. He's kinda... I dunno, bland. Sort of. Or maybe it's just me. I've been playing FemShep too long lol.

[P-012]

I like them all!!

[Agamo45]

I don't know about you all but i can't stand the voice of female Shepard. She's trying too hard to sound tough. It makes her sound like a butch lesbian.

male shepherd is the crappiest voice actor in history

The funny thing is, the amount of characters he voices in game Id wager you and most other haters have heard him on numerous occasions and not even realised it.

Oh, and I think he does an awesome job voicing Shepard.

I agree. Male Spehard has a great voice.

But haters gonna hate.

The first time I played ME1, I played as FemShep. When I later tried MaleShep he sounded wrong.

The first time I played ME2, I played as MaleShep. When I later tried FemShep, she sounded wrong.

The conclusion I draw from this is that both voices are equally good, but different, and it's hard to transition between them.

[Neophyte Padawan]

I love most of the voices in ME2, Jennifer Hale as FemShep and Seth Green as Joker as standouts!



However, I have to admit I really couldn't take to Ken Donnelly - as a Scottish person myself his accent is dreadful! Ended up putting it on mute every time I went to talk to Tali so I wouldn't have to listen to him.



Also, kudos to Mark Meer for a much improved performance as MaleShep. Although I still much prefer the female, he absolutely nails some of the comedy moments - getting drunk on the Citadel and announcing that the gift shop discriminates against the poor in particular!

[Chuvvy]

I used to hate Mark Meer (maleshep) but i think he stepped his game up in ME2.

I like almost all of the main VA's in ME2,except and I think I'm alone here. Tali it's not that I find it annoy I just don't like it,like her character.

[Knoll Argonar]

I like both Shepard's voice, so just get with the other ones:



Love the most: Tali, Garrus, Thane, Jack, Mordin, Joker, EDI, almost every quarian in the game, the Asari counselor (rawwwwwwrr..... I save them just because of her) and The Illusive Man.



Hate the most: very few. I don't like Liara and Kaiden voice, regular Batarian voice is cool but not amazing, Patriarc (don't know if I spell well, it's Aria's krogan puppet) and I definetly don't like the cooker's voice. I don't want him clean my bathroom >_<

Favorite- Captain Anderson, Keith David is awesome.



Least favorite- Hmm I don't really dislike anyones voice. But i'll have to go with FemShep. Yeah, yeah, yeah shes a great voice actress but I can't stand her voice in my game. Especially during the romance dialogue, she comes off creepy as hell.

Title says it all, which character's voice is your favorite? and which do you dislike? and why?

My favorites are:

1. Admiral Shala'Raan vas Tonba: The name might not say much, but this is the female quarian who Tali had known since she was a baby (Tali's mother's friend). She've voiced by Shohreh Aghdashloo. Her somewhat rusty voice is just amazing, fits perfect with the quarians and the best of all voices in my opinion.
2 Garrus: Just love garrus voice, dunno why, just love it, he's voiced by Brandon Keener.
3. The Illusive Man: Martin Sheen, nuff' said '
4. Captain Bailey: I love Battlestar Galactica, Michael Hogan's voice is just badass.
5. Thane Krios: Same situation as with Garrus' voice, just love Thane's voice, dunno why.

Voices I dislike:
note: don't want these voices changed or anything, and I absolutely don't hold anything against the actors, it's just the voices that don't appeal to me.

1. Liara T'Soni: Just sounds like she's got a constant cold.
2. Donnel Udina: Dislike the character and dislike the voice.

I recognized the voice actress for Admiral Shala'Raan almost instantly.  I am pretty sure she played a terrorist in season 4 of 24.  She was good in that too.  

I also like Zaeed's, Garrus', Thane's, TIM's, Jokers, Mordin's and even Shepard's voices a lot.  I liked Miranda's accent as well.  And before I forget, Harbinger's voice was good.  I guess you could say I liked nearly all of the voices in ME2 ha.  

I could do without the voices of the Admirals Lohgain and Morrigan, for some reason they did not fit in my mind haha.  The Vorcha also annoy the hell out of me, as did the Batarians to a lesser extent.

[Zero9ee]

Let me just say, at the outset, that I think the cast and writers for the Mass Effect series have all done a brilliant job, so this list is just degrees of excellence. However...
THE VERY GOOD:
Adam Baldwin did a great turn as Kal'Reegar, managing to make him so much more of a character than the writing provided.
Michael Beattie's Mordin was priceless, as was the script for him.
Keith David breathed both warmth and melancholy into Anderson. He owns him now.
D.C. Douglas managed to make a believable robot. Granted Legion was also well written, but still.
Seth Green, brilliant as ever. A joker playing Joker.
I'm in the Jennifer Hale-as-Shepard camp. It's not that Mark Meer is appalling, it's just he never sounds like he's trying. Hale's passion for her work shines through every line.
Michael Hogan (Bailey) and Tricia Helfer (EDI) - who, of course, knew the ropes from Tiberium Wars - were great, and I'm glad that Galactica is getting it's due, along with Star Trek (Michael Dorn (Uvenek), Marina Sirtis (Benezia)) and Farscape (Claudia Black (Daro'Xen)). Grace Park, James Callis and Edward James Olmos for ME3? Also, Robin Sachs (Buffy, Babylon 5, Galaxy Quest, Star Trek: Voyager) as Zaeed, clearly felt at home.
Brandon Keener's Garrus is utterly convincing, and one of the best things about Mass Effect. Ditto for Liz Sroka's Tali.
Adam Lazarre-White got Jacob off the page well.
Courtenay Taylor deserves a special mention for putting some real grit behind Jack.
Peter Jessop is brilliant, too. Seriously, Mordin's traitorous pal was also Sovereign and Lorik Qui'in?
Raphael Sbarge (Kaidan), sexy as ever.
Lance Henriksen (Hackett) and Martin Sheen (TIM) don't know how to do bad.
And let us not forget Neil Ross as the Codex narrator.
For me, though, hearing Martin Jarvis during Tali's loyalty mission was the standout moment. I thought Shohreh Aghdashloo was going to be the thing there, but as a Brit and a Dr. Who fan, Jarvis was the win.
THE NOT-SO GOOD:
I was sorta half-expecting Carrie-Anne Moss to do better, but alas I think she's very much a screen actress. I never quite believed Aria.
I'm not sure what happened to Miranda. Perhaps it's the face leaping out from the others (too surreal), because Yvonne Strahovski wasn't too bad. Maybe I just didn't like the writing or the character. She's the ME2 game icon, though.
Kimberly Brooks has never done anything for me as Ashley.
Ali Hillis was perfectly fine as Liara in the original game, but just can't quite pull off where the character is in the sequel.

[eternalnightmare13]

For the most part I think that the voice acting was above and beyond ME1. Not that ME1 was poorly VA. I think Meer is the most improved.

The only character I never liked, and it's nothing against the VA, is Liara. She just comes across as a self important flake.  It's like she's in a constant state of being annoyed, uppity, and out of energy all at the same time.
