I was trying to think of some examples of best VA moments in ME2 from both female and male Shepard. There are a few that definitely stick out (Tali's trial for instance), but I know there are probably some I may have missed. What stuck out for you?
Best Voice Acting Moments for both Male and Female Shepard?

I didn't like the voice acting for male shepard. He has little to no emotion in his dialogue. Jennifer Hale however does a very good job of conveying emotion with her dialogue.

The paragon/renegade options at the end of Tali's trial were great performances from both VAs.
Otherwise, the only one that I really remember with male shep was him getting drunk in Darkstar, "Put the stuff in the...the thing stuff goes in."
Femshep lines that stuck out? Idk it was all good imo; when femshep was pissed off and told off TIM she sounded angry, when she paragon-hugged Tali she sounded very caring and sympathetic. I just got so much good emotional feedback from her voicework I can't even begin to pick just a few lines.

I liked the 'Our Terms' speech and the "Who said anything about love" line. Oh yeah and "How about goodbye"

Its the speech where he says 'it is time to show them what were made of on our terms.' It is when they are discussing the collector base I think. He also says what matters is 'not one more'

Personally, a great comedic one was when you ask Legion why he (it? they?) specifically wears Shepard's N7 armor. "No.. data available."

I kind of liked Male Sheps "I've had enough of this colony" line...thought I heard some tears in there, but maybe it was subconscious.
For femshep, renegade, if you kill the Krogan scout during Mordin's loyalty, she gives this really frustrated sounding "Move out" afterwards.
"Not...one...more"...cheesy, but I liked it.

Male Shepherd is good for speeches...he kinda has some odd moments in casual conversation though.

Every line Tali says when you try and romance her... you can just feel her emotion even though you can't see her face. Tali is probably the first video game character I have ever grown a strong attachment too ingame, and I have to say Mass Effect 2 in general does a fantastic job of making the player really feel the characters emotions

I guess it all comes down to your opinion.
To me, male Shep is the worst voice actor in the lead role of any major video game I've ever played. ME is the only game where I exclusively play female characters. I'd love to play a male character in this game but I cringe at every word. I wish it didn't bug me so much but I can't get past it. Every other character in the game delivers a better performance IMHO. It all works out for me as I really like the majority of Fem Shep's lines though.
I guess it just comes down to personal preference though.

Male Shep shooting Conrad Verner. "This is not acceptable"
I've noticed that listening to the male shep voice is easier if your male shep looks like he would have a deeper than usual voice.

Take a good long look at me. Do I look like a looter ?
-Uh....no ?
-That's right ! Now I'm going in, If I find looters, I kill them. Anyone gets in my way...I kill them too.

Mark Meer had A+ quality voice acting in the renegade option to resolves Tali and Legion's conflict. He totally exuded that "Do not screw with me, or I'll shoot you right now" vibe.
In fact, most of Meer's acting was spot on, IMO. He wasn't overacting, which is key. He acted in a way that, if ME were any way realistic, someone who's spent his entire life kicking ass and chewing bubble gum would react. I think Jennifer Hale overacted some of her parts. Committing too much emotion to a script does not a good voice actor make... it has to be realistic. Sometimes realistic is being non-chalant. Sometimes, like when Tali finds out her father dies, was a brilliant performance by Liz Sroka. That's a *really* emotional part, and Liz nailed it.

Not a shepherd line but I allways enjoy:
"You don't have a grenade launcher lady. Get lost."

I enjoyed watching my Fem Shepard giving the Krogan scout a pep talk and I liked the way my male Shepard talked to Conrad. I liked both of them doing the Tali courtroom speech.

I've seen a clip floating around of "Charge." But I haven't actually seen it in game. Anyone care to mention the conversation?
My personal favorite voice moment has to be when you use the renegade option at the end of Samara's loyalty, "I'm not the victim you were looking for."
The best moment overall though has no dialogue, but just the look on FemShep's face when she asks EDI how expendable the crew is. The little smile says it all.

You get it through renegade options if you don't use the paragon interrupt when talking to the "biotic god" volus on Samara's recruit mission.
Basically, the volus is high on way too much red sand and says something to the effect of "I will crush this weakling merc leader with my godlike biotics", and Shepard heartlessly eggs him on. I don't know the convo from memory.
