Your Fave Voice Actor

[OutforEC]

Eleanor Audley, Mark Hamill, and Kevin Conroy.

 

[Krantos]

Poor Mark Meer. He never gets any love. Maybe I only liked him so much because he had this dry deadpan delivery for everything, which is exactly how I play my Shephard!

See, I think that's the problem, and the real reason so many people prefer Hale. I actually wrote a fairly lengthy diatribe about this a while ago, but don't feel like digging it up right now. Basically, Meer took Shepard's lines and attached a single personality/delivery to all of them. So, if you happen to want your male Shepard to sound that way, you're in luck, and Meer sounds great. If not... well, he did do slightly better in ME2.

Hale gave each line it's own independent delivery, so they can be combined and feel natural. Then again she's got easily 10-20 times as many roles under her belt as Meer, so go figure.

Jennifer Hale (FemShep from Mass Effect, Bastila Shan from Knights of the Old Republic, Dr. Naomi Hunter from Metal Gear Solid and Samus Aran from Metroid, amongst many others)

Other honorable mentions go to:

- David Hayter (Solid Motherfucking Snake (and Naked Snake/Big Boss in MGS3))

- Keith David (Captain Anderson from Mass Effect, the Arbiter from Halo and Sergeant Foley from Modern Warfare 2)

- Brandon Keener (Garrus Vakarian from Mass Effect, as well as the American Sniper from Company of Heroes and Sergeant Frank Craft in the Tales of Valor expansion.

- Lance Henriksen (Admiral Hackett in Mass Effect and General Shepherd in Modern Warfare 2)
[small]He really does have a perfect voice for a gruff military commander type character.[/small]

Also ( partly because I automatically think of their Firefly characters whenever I hear them in a game):

- Nathan Fillion (Gunnery Sergeant Reynolds in Halo 3, and Gunnery Sergeant Buck in Halo ODST)

- Adam Baldwin (Random Marines in Halo 3, Dutch in Halo ODST and Kal'Reegar in Mass Effect 2)

[Lewieroo0]

All the voice actors who did the TF2 Characters are pure gold in the comedy side of FPS ^_^

 

[MrGalactus]

Michael McConnohie all the way.

 

[RowdyRodimus]

The late, great Chris Latta who portrayed Cobra Commander, Starscream, Wheeljack, Gung-Ho and originated Mr. Burns. Alongside Frank "God" Welker and Peter Cullen (both fantastic) these guys voiced my childhood and still echo in my mind whenever I read GI Joe or Transformers works.

 

[PlasmaFrog]

Robin Atkin Downes.

He's responsible for a lot of familiar voice acting in games such as No More Heroes or Team Fortress 2. Great guy.

Forgot about George Newbern there, bro. He finally made Sephiroth sound good in english. Man is also fucking SUPERMAN!

 

[Serenegoose]

Maurice Lamarche is by far my favourite voice actor. Brain, Kif, Calculon, so many great characters.

Runner up is... Mako, who voiced Aku in Samurai Jack. Sadly deceased, but utterly epic.

To be fair, Michael Bell was pretty great too, just not quite in the same league.

Also? Florence Dire, AKA Flo Di Re, the voice actress for Ravel Puzzlewell.
