Say what you want but he MADE Mass Effect by making John Shepard. That character makes the game and it fits the face. He made many of the other voices too so if you love the game you can thank him.
canon shepard is female tho lmfao he’s a great dude, and he did AMAZINGLY with the vorcha, but his voice acting as male shepard was literally so fucking bland. not tonal inflections whatsoever. dude was literally a robot.
@@OutroBusan Femshep VO was a lot of cringe overacting to the point some dialogue seemed unrealistic in delivery for the scenes, Hale is not to blame, it is VO director's problem. Mark Meer was way way better when all things considered. Andromeda had similar issues, there is no consistency in the direction and tone of delivery. You have to keep in mind VO is not done in a short period, the VO actors go away and come back after a few weeks so the VO director needs to modulate the tone and direction of the delivery. Nope, not a single bit of confirmation from Bioware as to who was canon, it's just internet vocal minorities who shout the loudest. The player base stats already prove Broshep was the vast overwhelming majority of play-through choice amongst the player base, based off of a stat infographic direct from Bioware, not anyone's opinion. My take on this whole push for Femshep to be 'canon' is that it is no different to SJWs taking offense on behalf of others, just a bunch of guys looking for brownie points trying to show how much they 'stand' for women's rights. This is a game, these guys want to stand for women's rights? Go out and actually do something that actually helps that cause, shouting it out everywhere doesn't win you brownie points or help addressing women's abuse in the world, especially over a game. How absurd. Let's be real, that's what this is all about. Especially when some men go out of their way to be female in a game which offers both gender options, just so they can shout it from the rooftops. No one really cares for this sort of virtue signaling. It's despicably cheap and far from genuine. That all said the fad is already losing steam, the next fad will be why isn't the protagonist allowed to be a non-binary or something along those lines, then we will have small group of clowns shouting loudly about how their non-binary characters was the best so make it canon because they said so.
@@mclarenbutton6342 the internet is the only place where you can say one thing and some asshole comes in saying something completely different LMAOOO only reason why the voice acting in general was all over the place in the games was because the actors recorded their lines independently and weren’t able to bounce off each other. pretty sure hale and meer said they recorded their lines before everyone else and the other characters listened to their lines while recording their own.
@@OutroBusan Nope, not what Mark Meer said he said sometimes on Veda, the system they used to hear the other VOs and read lines, he had the performance of the others VO actors to go off on and at other times he sets the stage being first. That still doesn't preclude the job of the VO director Caroline Livingstone (who is now at Humanoid Studios with Casey) to control the direction, it is not all down to the VO actors especially when the gap between sessions can be weeks long. You know nothing about VO performance. Figures, your original post was more of fluff and personal flag waving more than anything useful to the discussion as usual with your lot. ;)
Doing a playthrough of Mass Effect with Sheploo face, it just fits the character and voice for some reason. Plus the creator is garbage haha anyway, thought the same thing about Meer's face because a handsome dude, he would've been a great face model for Kaidan, at least! Or even Vega, Vega looks so stupid!
I see that people love femshep all over the internet but I can only see male Shepard as the hero of the series. It even blows my mind when people change the default look of him. It's like they cooked up the look/voice in a lab to make it perfect for the role.
2:44 was hilarious. I think that the best voice actor of them all in the ME series has to be Martin Sheen. His voice just fits the role of the Illusive Man so well.
Jennifer Hale (FemShep) is probably the biggest female voice actress out there, she's easily the most prominent, her list of appearances is extensive to say the least.
3:06 so much nostalgia, feel like starting yet another playthrough of ME1... then i remember how it all ends (in ME3), and i shudder back into the fetal position for the next few hours trying to forget it again
They did put in the different stats for different squad outfits in ME3. Every one or two outfits had a different set of stat bonuses for them. Generally there were +damage, +recharge time, and +power damage outfits. I'd always pump up Garrus with a +damage outfit and Liara with one of her +recharge time outfits.
I'm glad someone else sees that too; I feel like he really conveys emotion in me3 as opposed to the previous games; certainly puts him on par with the quality Hale brings.
lol you gotta love this guy. he looks so goofy when hes in character doing volus and vorcha. makes me wanna go into voice acting. if im lucky i'll be playing Shepard in the 30 year anniversary reboot of Mass Effect
Never forget how talented Mark Meer. He voiced the freaking Vorcha.
I've been playing the games for years and never knew this
The vorcha voice is the same voice of Shepard! Ohh fuck! hahahahahaha
My thoughts exactly
vorcha and volus.... O.o dang....
"Don't ahhhhh me. You sound like a Vorcha." ;D
Liara T'Soni This makes so much sense now!! :D
So the guy whos playing Shepard is also playing vorcha. Thanks for ruining my life EA
+happzy and the volus.
Ive heard he's some of the male quarians too. I haven't looked it up though
Lmao
And the Hanar
And a turian in the citadel
This dude is a legend, he'll forever be known as the voice of Shepard.
I should go.
😂
What can you tell me about the Spectres?
THAT'LL BE ALL
@@iama2509 Do you kniw where I can find her?
"Next they move on to Alberta!"
His face was brilliant.
wait,Mark Meer voiced both Comander Shepard and Vorcha?
wow.
And apparently Volus too.
As well as the hanar
Multi genius.
Yeah,that seems about right!
And Volus too.
Say what you want but he MADE Mass Effect by making John Shepard. That character makes the game and it fits the face. He made many of the other voices too so if you love the game you can thank him.

@@mclarenbutton6342 get off your high horse, my love. you don’t need to be a dick over a stupid ass comment i made months ago lmao
this dude is fucking amazing voice actor
I really want to meet Mark Meer sometime in my life. He just seems like a really awesome person.
He's got a great voice for Commander Shepard. :)
Mark and Jennifer - damn perfect job. Also the whole ME voice acting. ME has by far the best voice acting. And the volus and vorcha... unbelieveable.
"… next they move on to Alberta."
LOL
One of the best voice actors ever!!
He's such a versatile voice actor, I hope they bring him back for Mass Effect 4 even if its not a main role.
Damn Mark Meer you got some seriously talent with your VA! Keep up the good work dude!
Mark is a legendary voice actor. we can't lose the protagonist!
Mark is a damn good artist.
Mark raised his game in Mass Effect 3. I'm really impressed with his performance.
Damn. After playing the Mass Effect series so many times, when I see the guys "actual" face... It just doesn't fit! :D
Mistah J. When you see him in full N7 Armor he does
Like anybody doing voice acting voice actually fits there face
Watching Mark Meer voice a Vorcha is fantastic
(Hope this comment ain't taken) I'm commander Shepard and this is my favourite video on the citadel
Thanks Mark, for the best trilogy in existence
I miss you Shepard.
Got to meet him in person this week. Such a cool guy.
"Your ways are strange, earth-clan" Just made my day :)
My favorite Shepard. I liked Jennifer but I liked him better as Shep he nailed it IMO. He's definitely my definitive Shepard.
the complete cast of voice actors for every Mass Effect game is just absolutely amazing and AAWESOME!
FINALLY! I've only seen pictures of Mark up to this point ... great to see the voice in action. PS Awesome work!!
He's in Jade Empire?!?! OML!!!
I’m on a rabbit hole of old Mass Effect videos
I wonder why they used a professional model's face for the character instead of his.
Exactly what I was thinking moment ago entering this video.
+xbh1h2 Oh, so that's where the 'loo' in 'Sheploo' comes from.
+Eck mark vandarloo has far more better face for a commander in galactic army.....more authorative face. I like that they used his face
They tried to use Vanderloo's voice, but his accent wasn't cutting it. "Ve'll vang, OK?" wouldn't have been as famous.
Doing a playthrough of Mass Effect with Sheploo face, it just fits the character and voice for some reason. Plus the creator is garbage haha anyway, thought the same thing about Meer's face because a handsome dude, he would've been a great face model for Kaidan, at least! Or even Vega, Vega looks so stupid!
"Things to see and people to do!" :'D
Now imagine THAT in a vorcha voice
The best...thx Mark
Mark Meer is legendary!
He is just amazing as vorcha.
Love Mark Meer, male Shepard is my favorite Shepard.
I see that people love femshep all over the internet but I can only see male Shepard as the hero of the series. It even blows my mind when people change the default look of him. It's like they cooked up the look/voice in a lab to make it perfect for the role.
@@sarevok6
If a game allows you to change how your character looks, the law demands that you have at least once make him look like yourself
@@steelbear2063 or like Michael Jackson
WOW, he can make so many voices!!!
His performance inside the citadel was extremely touching!
I LOVE that he's back in Baldur's Gate now. I got thrilled when I saw the lineups of the new characters.
Ha, the expression when he does a vorcha. Priceless.
Wow, those videos are hilarious. Surprised I just found them
About time they mention the voice for guy Shepard.
If he and TotalBiscuit had a podcast, all my sicknesses would be healed.
Wow he does a great job
2:44 was hilarious.
I think that the best voice actor of them all in the ME series has to be Martin Sheen. His voice just fits the role of the Illusive Man so well.
love the faces he makes....
his voice is great!
Badass voice!!!
He's amazing
2:00 ROFL
Oh hey witcher guy
@@eskeladder7751 hey
I see that you are a man of culture as well
Love the faces he made when he did the Vorcha-voices
No one could have been a better commander Shepard!
mind blown
Hey Mark also did VO work in Outlaw Star as Gene Starwind, that was just as cool.
I love the facial expressions he makes!
He...Is...AWESOME!
The voice of female shepard is quite underrated imo. Her voice is so powerful
Jennifer Hale (FemShep) is probably the biggest female voice actress out there, she's easily the most prominent, her list of appearances is extensive to say the least.
Well I'm afraid your opinion is wrong because it isn't.
Underrated? It's overrated as Hell!
+Chris Doffer Most people prefer her vastly.
ArvelDreth It doesn't matter what most people prefer.
dude ur shephard voice is awesome....
He's so perfect it hurts.
He really stepped his game up in ME3.
"I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite store on the Citadel."
I love his voice
His facial expressions are great.
this is my favourite store in the citadel.
He does a really good Shepard impression! Sounds almost exactly like him!
Holy crap, that Volus voice. Jesus, Mark is a great voice actor.
He's Awesome Guy
I love Mark meer
Volus, Shepard, and Vorcha, can't believe it!
It's an awesome, awesome voice...
He got me at the Volus line haha
I know, right? He freaking killed it.
I never realised how many characters he voiced in ME. Props Mark Meer. Props.
His eyebrows are so... magnificent.
I think Mark as well as Jennifer are doing great job, providing different experience and I love them both:)
3:06 so much nostalgia, feel like starting yet another playthrough of ME1...
then i remember how it all ends (in ME3), and i shudder back into the fetal position for the next few hours trying to forget it again

Generally there were +damage, +recharge time, and +power damage outfits. I'd always pump up Garrus with a +damage outfit and Liara with one of her +recharge time outfits.
Hale and Meer are both great in their own ways.
"Vancouver was their first target, next they move on to Alberta..." *epic face*
"I had a single line in Baldur's gate"... this got me thinking about that marine in the fighters when the Sword fleet arrives...
I'm glad someone else sees that too; I feel like he really conveys emotion in me3 as opposed to the previous games; certainly puts him on par with the quality Hale brings.
What a boss
Mark Meer IS Commander Shepard!
Lol i just lost it when is saw him do the volus voice.
This guy so cool he does his own sfx.
mark meer is awesome
of course at the ending ,, I should go'' moment
this guy is a fucking champ. RAW TALENT!!
Just hearing his voice makes me want to play another playthrough as Male Shep lol
Omg he's fantastic! Commander Shepard, a Volus and a Vorcha? Intense voice! Great!
Mark Meer is awesome.
I love the Vorcha voice
and they really do sound like that
Off to build my time machine!
Hear, hear.
I remember seeing a civilian turian in citadel in ME2 with shepard's voice!
Shepard! My best friend!
"I have to go, but we should do this again."
Me: *nods* Shepard.
lol you gotta love this guy. he looks so goofy when hes in character doing volus and vorcha. makes me wanna go into voice acting. if im lucky i'll be playing Shepard in the 30 year anniversary reboot of Mass Effect
