Funny, I prefer MaleShep over Femshep for ME2. To me, FemShep just sounds incredibly bored with each line she says, and it's all monotone unless its a special renegade or paragon action.

I like both of'em...had no complains regarding any voice acting in the games...

[Habelo]

I think he is good.

I actually don't like Jennifer Hale's VO thus far on my fem shep of ME2. I dunno it just doesn't sound as good as Mark Meer's and to me sounds a bit plain. He's definitely stepped up to the criticism that a lot of people made from the first game, and did a very good job.



Will probably have to complete that playthrough to make a good consensus though

Some people just have too high standards.



Everything has to be perfect.

Everything has to be aligned to my taste.

Etc.



Get over yourselves.

I thought Male Shep was good, if he was too good, I would have an actor, not a soldier. He sounds like a guy I might run into.. If I was running around space and fearing Reaper invasion XD

The end is nigh!

i think he does a good job...it's just the weird pauses that occur every now and then that trouble me. and sometimes the tone which shepard (both male and female) uses is really weird for the situation.

Am I the only one who thinks the voice acting for maleShep is seriously below par ?

Most of the voices are very good, those of the main characters often outstanding( FemShep, Miranda, Garrus, Tali, Wrex , Thane,..)
And the worse thing is that it's not the voice itself that's the big problem. There are more voices in the game that are not so pleasing to my ears( Ash, Samara, Liara), but this is not insurmountable and very subjective anyhow.
The issue is that when I hear these voices I believe them, while maleShep sounds as if he's reading his lines from the textbook.
It really ruins playing male Sheps for me: I find myself constantly skipping dialog and as a result somtimes picking the wrong dialog option.

I think Bioware made a wise decision in Kotor having all but the player's lines spoken.
Dragon Ages approach of different voices to choose from seems(haven't played it yet) ideal off course altough I can imagine that this might be hard  to implement in ME's context (being a consolegame, different concept, ea)

To each his own. I find the femshep voice reminisent of some cold hearted old ice queen corporate executive. It's like she has this "boss" voice and whenever she speaks to everyone like they are just subordinates - no sense of kinship or camaraderie. The male voice, to me, feels more like an old friend. There is more warmth and approachability in the way he speaks.
 
Depending on the dialog they can both be "dry"; however, I think this is more a factor of having multiple lines which they are trying to weave seemlessly together. A difficult, if not impossible task, if one response is supposed to be angry and the other calm, and then the next set of dialog options are of the same vain. Shepard's voice would be jumping from one emotion to the next if they put too much into each line. With that said, I think the voice acting just fine the way it is.

compared to ME 1 which is kinda stiff... it has improved in ME 2. I always thought the Fem Shepard is better, but Mark Meer is a respectable voice actor... I think he can improve that in the last and upcoming sequel.

I think it would be the perfect voice for a 40ish Shepard, a life time military man who has seen and done it all essentially. Reminds me of Jack O'neill from SG-1.

[huddini]

I like both voice actors for the time being, but there are some parts where male shep just sounds like a robot reading lines under a certain situation in the game where he should otherwise express some emotion, but that's just me.

You do realize that natural leadership qualities are more than voice, right?

Charismatic and convincing speech is one of the defining traits of natural leadership. The ability to inspire others to follow you.

Male Shepard doesn't inspire me to do anything but quit the game and go back to Femshep.

There is several ways to inspire people in a role of leadership outside of giving pretty speeches. Shepard is one to lead the team from the front line and bring his or her experiance to bare on any situation you can possiable think of encountering. Meer gives me the impression he is confident and has faced these challanges not allowing emotion to get in the way or be displayed when he desires.

N7 is considered the elite of the Alliance Navy so compairing Shepard training level to that of a Navy SEAL wouldn't be too far streched or that it even surpasses it in difficulty. When Navy SEALs have a job to do communication is dry, robotic, and clearly spoken so ever word is understood.

[Strange Aeons]

I get the impression that the performances for both versions of Shepard were intended to be pretty low-key, because he's the player's character. Given that Mass Effect allows a wide range of interpretation regarding Shepard's personality, perhaps they thought it would reduce the level of immersion if he ran around screaming like the guy from 300 the whole game.



The result is a compromise that falls into a region somewhere between that extreme and Crono from Chrono Trigger.

[RighteousRage]

Awfull maleShepard voice

[Jagri]

Crono didn't need a voice! That kid was all heart.

[Never-Red]

I prefer Hale over Meer.

[RighteousRage]

If he had a voice he'd just sound like Gokuu or something

[nikki191]

hmm ive just realised ive played both me1 and 2 multiple play throughs and i have never heard the male shepards voice haha

[dcrypt]

Femshep tries too hard.

Honestly, she could have the best voice in the world and it wouldn't matter to me because a woman saving the universe in that fashion isn't really believable to me. Even if she is manlier than most other women.

Now if she somehow was able to bring universal peace by creating the most delicious pie in the world, then it would make sense.

Yeah I'm sexist. I don't care.

Wait you can make a female Shepard?

[Never-Red]

Mark Meer is quite inexperienced, and it shows.
