I dont really understand all the hate for male Shep's voice. If you use the default face it fits well. Same thing with Liara, everyone thinks she sounds ridiculous trying to act all serious, but it kinda fits better with her character that way, shes a bit out of her league but trying to make the best of it by sounding tough. Her character from ME1 still shines through the cracks which saves her disappointing role in ME2.



Otherwise,

Liked: Garrus, TIM, Mordin, Aria, Legion



Disliked:

Thane (too much post processing to make him sound alien)

Kal Reegar (i love the actor but it seems a little wrong for the character)



Meh: EDI (i just always think of 6 from BSG)

Tali, her VA does a great job acting it but I'm iffy on the accent

If you're going for opinions on favorite voice actors, you're obviously going to get various results. Therefore, I'm going to try and break it down to the top and bottom 2 from a technical standpoint.



Best

1. Tali- Rarely a lack of emotions in her lines--the nuances in her voice acting (the way it cracks when she explains to Shepard she can't let her people know about her father; the way it pops when she gets into the fight with Legion) create the best and most versatile VA in this game.

2. Mordin- How do you make a character who sounds like he's on speed all the time, talks in a higher toned voice, and doesn't even speak in complete sentences likeable? Fantastic job by the VA.



Worst

1. Thane- Simply difficult to understand when speaking softly. I understand the need to make his lung sound dried out, but the processing makes him sound like a terrible Christian Bale Batman impersonator. No real room for emotion.

2. Male Shepard- Meener is clearly the inferior of the two Shepard voices. There are moments of brilliance (both of his speeches for Tali's loyalty mission are spot on), but they are far and few inbetween. His paragon lines are monotonous, and his renegade lines seem forced.

Seems like alot of people have mixed opinions about male/female shepard's voice. Personally I think both male and felame shep has good voices, but I've always felt that male shep has a more of a "nice guy" (paragon) voice, and female shep has a more "bad guy (woman)" voice (renegade).

[AgentMulder5]

Favorite Voice: Garrus

Least Favorite: MaleShep

[SL22]

There's something about Turian voices that I find interesting, they sound very metallic.

Mordin always makes me smirk, he's like a machine gun that fires words.

Tali's voice is... well just plain sexy.

[HwyCrossingFrog]

Favorite: Tali



Least Favorite: Liara

'Twas funny when I heard Liara deliver Benezia's line in ME2 after I deliberately left her on the ship when doing that mission in ME1. Tee hee

[Shoko86]

Male Shep is probably the worst in the entire series. That man needs more emotion in his voice.

I don't even think it's so much the emotion (or lack thereof), but the delivery. To me, maleshep sounds like something out of a bad "B" movie. The only thing I can hope for is that Shepard's story ends with the trilogy. That way, voice actors could be changed without any discontinuity. Hire Hale back, sign Meer's cheque and say "Goodbye."

[Merci357]

Like

Garrus, Legion, Mordin, Aria, FemShep



Dislike

Grunt, Jack, Udina



(this is just ME2, in the original MaleShep was godawfull, in ME2 he's bearable)

[Maverick489]

Like: Miranda, Yvonne's accent.

Thane

Garrus, just an overall great character.

Kal'Reegar, I'm a Chuck fan so...



Dislike: Liara, who does like her voice?

Ash, sounds very raspy, not very good for the sex appeal

[NatOreN]

My favorite are probably Legion's, most quarians' (Tali's and Shala'Raan's especially), Garrus' and Thane's.

My most disliked voices are definitely Liara's (it's like she has to breathe out every single word or something), the female doctor's in Jacob's loyalty mission (and the way she stares while talking, gives me the jeebies) and Udina's. I also dislike maleshep's voice, but that's more of a gray area.

Favorites
Tali: Sexy accent, funny when she's awkward, and I really felt it when she got emotional over her father.
Garrus: Always awesome. Turian voices are great to begin with, but Garrus is the best. His awkard conversations with femshep are hilarious.
Mordin: Simply amazing. Hilarious and somehow completely believable. I love his long breaths during sentences.
Zaeed: Perfect voice for his character. Wish he had more dialogue.
Legion: Everything he says is great. Don't think they really could have screwed this up.
Thane: He really sounds tortured and the effect on his voice is pretty cool.
Joker: Glad his role was expanded. Seth Green is hilarious and you can tell he likes doing this role.

Undecided
Male Shepard: Although Mark Meer improved in ME2 he still doesn't sound like a battle-hardened marine to me. His renegade lines are decent, but he just sounds lame as a paragon. It doesn't help that he has that goofy smile either.
Female Shepard: Jennifer Hale is usually awesome. But she just sounds too tough and manly in this role. Some of the lines when you find upgrades like "we can use this" or "this looks useful" sound just like a man. Although as a renegade it works pretty well.

Hated
Liara: This one hurts, because I loved her in ME1. She was the soft-spoken, naive scientist. Now she's trying to sound tough, but it just isn't working.
Jacob: Same problem I have with Kaiden. He's just too boring. And his sexy voice is disturbing.

Honorable mentions
All the quarians, especially the admirals. Although Kal'Reegar sounds completely different than every other quarian he made you believe that there are some really tough quarians out there.

I like the male shepherd voice. He sounds like I would expect my character to sound. I also like the voices they picked for Tali, Garrus, Ashley, Jack and Joker. I'm not such a fan of the Illusive Man, just because it pulls me out of the fictive experience when I can identify the actor doing the voice acting.

You're not a fan of TIM because you can identify the actor but you like Joker? Seth Green may not be as well known as Michael Sheen but he still has a very distinctive voice. Regardless I found both characters voices to be very strong and feel that nobody could replace them.

[Axx Bytehoven]

My favorite voices... Legion, Thane, Grunt, Aria, Liara, Garrus, Joker, Jack, EDI... Don't really hate any of the other voices, although Tali is an acquired taste.

[brain_damage]

Love: Kelly, Admiral Xen, Joker, Aria, every single pyjak on Tuchanka

Hate: Samara, the Council, my fish who, for some reason, die every 15 minutes

Joker reminded me constantly of Family Guy but I don't mind. Mainly because somehow ended up noticing the similarities. Green did a good job though so it really shouldn't be a problem. Same with Martin Sheen (the Sheen family is extended but who's Michael?). You recognize him instantly yet I liked the Illusive Man, he did do it with style.

And if you've played Dragon Age, you'll be glad to know Teyrn Loghain genes has survived the millenia and even crossed over species into ME2.
Quite a few other DA VA's were also featured in ME2 but their roles are not only smaller but also less recognizable. Apart from Loghain that is, that really stood out.

As far as old BG VA's are concerned, Jennifer Hale and Grey DeLisle seems to be the only one I've found so far that was in BG1 and BG2 (and KotOR). Well, other then Michael Dorn (yes, Worf). Shame not more of those old timers show up these days.

I missed Carrie-Ann Mosses'  and Adam Baldwin (Animal Mother!) performance entirely actually.

i loved Okeer's voice. i wish i could have recruited him just so i could keep talking to him the rest of the game. also FemShep, if it doesn't go without saying.



none of the voices particularly bothered me.

[Gravity Bun]

My favourites were Robin Sachs' Zaeed and Carrie-Ann Moss' Aria, Liz Sroka did a great job with Tali this time around, much better than on ME1. All were good though, the only one that bugged me a little was Mark Meer's MaleShep, but just because it's not "neutral" enough.

[ervin835]

Liked Jack, Tali and Mordin, imo Tali's voice actor does the best job(not a Tali fanboy, but her performance conveyed emotions very well )



Not to say that maleShep was bad, but i agree hes delivery of vast majority of line was monotonous and bland. Put some emotion in it man...

[Merchant2006]

I have to say I LOVE the Asari Matriarch Bartender on Illium, she's got one hell of a voice and personality, always makes me chuckle when she talks heh.
