All of these ladies (and the men too) deserve recognition and admiration for their talent and skill into breathing personality into some of our favorite characters!
I have the utmost respect for Jennifer Hale's portrayal of femshep. I love how she puts her character's picture over manshep - I kinda feel like there's too much emphasis on "Manshep" being 'THE Shepard" It's getting better but i felt like it feel like both should be equally represented cause JH's performance is brilliant and isn't to be ignored.
Yeah, sort of. What's funny is that Hillis half-jokingly (read: completely seriously) remarks that Bioware should do a spinoff with Liara as the main charcter. If you watch her in other videos on YT, usually in official-type interviews, she will say the same thing. It's a good idea, one that basically suggests itself. But Bioware will do something stupid instead-- and it's clear that she senses that, too.
Nooo i'm afraid it wasn't, the photo was a stock image they found off the Internet of a model who I believe was Miss UK a few years ago? (Yup, they didn't even link it to the voice actress)
I hate how so many people say that FemShep sounds "bitchy." Sooo, Hale is giving FemShep a strong, assertive, leader-like persona, which is what she should be doing. And people say that comes off as bitchy? No one says that about male lead roles.
her freind/lover whilst you were being rebuilt was captured by the Shadow Broker for two years and depending if you romanced her before she at end either restarts relationship with you or agrees to help as freind.
agreed add in talk with the admirals and she gets added ammo - like "your not interested in talis part in this trial are you. Its about the geth. Talis done more for the fleet than any of you she saved the citadel, she saved the alari that should be enough evidence you need" or even if you choose rally the crowd and get kal reegar and Veetor backing you up XD
Welcome to the world of voiceover work. And it's not lame; who would you rather have, a voice actor that sounds like Morinth and looks like Saren, or the other way around? Sometimes you get lucky and have voice actors that look like their counterparts, but it's not a standard.
@WarThug13 No, she (Ashley) is actually pretty racist, when you talk with her, you can realize that. I only talk about the character,I didn't say anything like "she's not a nazi because she's black", I don't know where you get bullshit like that... I only find it curious that a racist character is played by a black woman, I didn't say that the actress IS or ISN'T racist, I don't know anything about the actress.
Am I one of the few who chose Kaidan? My squad since day 1 was only Garrus and Kaidan and then Ashley being racist and obnoxious was just more reason to not think twice about ditching her. Seems like most people chose to save her since she's a female and I guess naturally you'd like her more.
10 yrs on, I know but. I always play as femshep and choose Kaiden as my LI, he's hot😊. I do however cheat on him with thane, just to get the interaction with him before the main battle in ME2, then in 3 I tell Kaiden about it in the hospital so we can rekindle our romance till the end. Jennifer Hale is a badass voice actress, the very best in my opinion.
Kay so... Jennifer Hale is my goddess. FEMSHEP FTW Kimberly Brooks's regular voice sounds so much like Ashley I was gawking at the screen for a while, haha. I really like Ali Harris, she's hilarious. Very chill, and her normal voice sounds almost nothing like Liara which I find very impressive. (And I'm pretty sure I spotted Toby behind her... Wow.) Love the voice acting in ME, always.
@xkrazyxboix101 Why would I mention her? She was a highly publicized voice actress for Mass Effect 3. She was in the game and they bothered to advertise her, considering she was included as a romance option I thought she was at least some point relevant to the story. Though you are correct in saying she was irrelevant. I just thought it was funny they brought out every "big" female voice actor except for her (though that might be a contradiction to what I just stated). Also her part was just bad
@Jekdaore Dude you can't be serious. He doesn't bring jack to emotion of the character. Jennifer actually sounds like she is chewin someone out when she is, where as Mark does not seem to have that emotional depth. Not sayin he is bad, but just not as involving.
depends fem shep or bro shep? my broshep is romancing liara my femshep kaidan. garrus is like my wing man for both playthroughs, tali is like lil sis, so i suppose liara (when not romancing) is big sis ....
I have to agree , The female voice of shepherd is better in my opinion ,The voice pulls you more into the story, Also in many films the hero is male, It's good to be different from the norm.
Jennifer Hale is my goddess. FEMSHEP FOREVAH. Kimberly Brooks's regular voice sounded so much like Ashley I was amazed. Ali Harris is really chill; I really like her, and her voice sounds almost nothing like Liara in the game, which is very impressive. (And I definitely think I saw Toby behind her. That was a bit of a shock.)
Fell in love with Liara since the first time I saw her in that protean bubble, never stopped ever since. God sometimes I just wish so bad the asari and other alien races were real, then I wouldn't have to adopt children, I could actually get my girlfriend pregnant and have a lot of little blue children. Liara's like the ultimate lesbian dream honnestly. In my mind asari belongs with women, not men.
I almost jizzed myself when Alli Hillis said, "Thank you Commander, I will miss you."
Billy Drake Almost? Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude... that was... *hhng* smooth...
Wtf no tali
Liara's voice actor is gorgeous
All of these ladies (and the men too) deserve recognition and admiration for their talent and skill into breathing personality into some of our favorite characters!
I love femshep's voice. I'd rather her husky voice than a high pitched one.
Tatiana Goodman that's why I like Kasumi's voice! :) Overall, fantastic voice acting from this cast.
I'm two years late, but where the hell is Liz Sroka?
I still have no answer to that question.
seriously tho, is she nowhere to be found on youtube?
5 years later..... Liz Sroka is still not on RUclips
rebuilding the homeworld! Keelah se'lai :P
6 years later.... lol
Female Shepard is the best!!! XD
16:25 Gotta love the fans' reaction at the end at Ali Hillis line.
I love all of them! Best voice over cast EVER is in the mass effect trilogy :D
i always thought ashleys voice had a slight touch of mila kunis
Omfg, Ali Hillis is always full of flirt. Gotta love her. :D
I just jizzed in my pants when Ali (Liara) said she is "hot with anticipation" Liara > FemShep :D
100 years later and no Liz Sroka lol.
when ashley VA came up, i just imagined ashley talking, like with the other VA you could differentiate but with her its hard.
this is so nerdy, i love it.
I'm Garrus Vakarian and this is now my favorite spot on the Citadel.
lol the "I should go" part.
"Thank you, commander. I will miss you." Ahhhh Ali makes me melt
THATS Ashley O.O
I have the utmost respect for Jennifer Hale's portrayal of femshep. I love how she puts her character's picture over manshep - I kinda feel like there's too much emphasis on "Manshep" being 'THE Shepard" It's getting better but i felt like it feel like both should be equally represented cause JH's performance is brilliant and isn't to be ignored.
13:56
A WILD TOBUSCUS APPEARS
Holy shit that was Toby!
omg nice notice
I always play femshep first playthrough. However I always end up being a renegade as a female. And the opposite with maleshep xD
"I can rebuild my world, people" ~Ali.
Did she accidentally give away the destruction/attack from the game of her home?
Every single one of em... absolutely love the voices.
I love Ashley she is my romance and favorite character
Oh you mean the picture you get on the normandy? They modeled tali's face after Ash Sroka (apparently she changed her name from Liz).
Yeah, sort of.
What's funny is that Hillis half-jokingly (read: completely seriously) remarks that Bioware should do a spinoff with Liara as the main charcter. If you watch her in other videos on YT, usually in official-type interviews, she will say the same thing.
It's a good idea, one that basically suggests itself.
But Bioware will do something stupid instead-- and it's clear that she senses that, too.
Damnit, why was Liz Sroka (Tali) not here >.
hey ali! did you hear about the n7 armor dlc for final fantasy 13 part 2? its badass!
"I put it on the ring!"
Haha, well played Sir.
Why no Tali? :/
Hillis
I couldn't imagine playing Mass Effect without a Black Female Shepard. So strong. So beautiful.
thank you you remembering my death
Why is Ash Sroka never in any behind the scenes videos?
Jennifer Hale is one of the best voice actresses ever,and it's so sweet to see her stand up for fem Shep.
Nooo i'm afraid it wasn't, the photo was a stock image they found off the Internet of a model who I believe was Miss UK a few years ago? (Yup, they didn't even link it to the voice actress)
I just love to play with femshep more. Plus all of the voice acting in Mass Effect games is so good.
i feel the exact opposite, lol. tali's trial in mass effect 2, especially if you chose the paragon option really shows how talented she is
Ali Hillis! Love her! Her and Hale make such and amazing team through the game.
What about Courtney Taylor? She was there! No interview?!
I wish BioWare would get all these people back together for whatever new project they might have in mind.
But at the same time I do understand that change comes a lot slower when you don't force it.
Yvonne Strehofvsky... I think I spelled that right... she was in Chuck
i love liara voice chartcer she's amazing
thank you!!!!
Jasper, can you invite Tali for acting i dont even know CITRINES?
Ali Hillis is awesome!
I hate how so many people say that FemShep sounds "bitchy." Sooo, Hale is giving FemShep a strong, assertive, leader-like persona, which is what she should be doing. And people say that comes off as bitchy? No one says that about male lead roles.
Loving all the content bioware are pushing out.
Jennifer you did the best job ever. Shepard is what she is thanks to your voice acting! I'd get chills! It is awesome! I adore you! :D
12years ago, bioware still have a marketing that works
or "EMBRACE ETERNITY!!!!~!!!~!~~!~!~!!!!!~!"
Where is Tali'zorah vas Normandy?!?!
Great voice actresses, real talent. Love the ME universe!!! One thing I noticed that has no relevance to what I just said: is that Tobuscus at 13:54?!
her freind/lover whilst you were being rebuilt was captured by the Shadow Broker for two years and depending if you romanced her before she at end either restarts relationship with you or agrees to help as freind.
I hear that in mordin's voice. *breath noise* drell. small numbers. may be problematic.
omg eu simplesmente buguei quando a atriz que dubla a liara começou a falará ,é exatamente igual .
omg its like jennifer hale is speaking my mind.
"What would you rather stare at for hours on end?"
lol the interviewer at the end ahaha what a sigh, it must have been hard for him listening that last part.
Wait wait wait... where the fuck is Tali.... we wanted Tali :)
@Jekdaore thank you!!
YES! Jennifer Hale is speaking what (almost) everyone (who is male) is thinking! There, straight from the source, we have the endorsement!
agreed add in talk with the admirals and she gets added ammo - like "your not interested in talis part in this trial are you. Its about the geth. Talis done more for the fleet than any of you she saved the citadel, she saved the alari that should be enough evidence you need" or even if you choose rally the crowd and get kal reegar and Veetor backing you up XD
Ashley forever!

the only problem i have with Fem shep is that theres no kitchen in the Captains Cabin.
Lcdr ash williams from ash effect 3 is so cool damn i really love my lcdr ash williams from ash effect 3
I would love for Jennifer hale to play the lead in a mass effect tv series like battlestar galactica
I'm currently playing through femshep for the first time and she is the better of the 2. maleshep is quite monotone.
Yes. Oddly enough, I love her voice for Naomi in MGS4 and I think they sound similar...
I'm convinced Jennifer has maxed out charm points
@WarThug13 No, she (Ashley) is actually pretty racist, when you talk with her, you can realize that.
I only talk about the character,I didn't say anything like "she's not a nazi because she's black", I don't know where you get bullshit like that...

The shadow broker is blonde? I thought she was blue :(
Am I one of the few who chose Kaidan? My squad since day 1 was only Garrus and Kaidan and then Ashley being racist and obnoxious was just more reason to not think twice about ditching her. Seems like most people chose to save her since she's a female and I guess naturally you'd like her more.
You're not alone 😅 I fell for Kaidan since the very beginning and I don't regret a thing
10 yrs on, I know but. I always play as femshep and choose Kaiden as my LI, he's hot😊. I do however cheat on him with thane, just to get the interaction with him before the main battle in ME2, then in 3 I tell Kaiden about it in the hospital so we can rekindle our romance till the end.

@@UK-Lynn sounds like you created a whole love story in ME haha
@piezipx Jen put it there, did you miss that?
@TheShadowcil I guess it just comes down to personal preference.
@DaveSimonH Good eye man! Didn't notice that.
On another note, Ali is fucking awesome.
Thumbs up if you didnt know Ashley was black
Woah! Jane Shepard sounds sounds so much different to Bastila Shan lol!
lmao couldnt help think about calibrating when they mentioned garrus and broshep romancing .. damn those claibrations
We don't love Ashley Williams because of her voice actor!
Kimberly Brooks plays Ash beautifully! And that's why we love her in the game.
Guys, thisi isn't Tricia Helfer or Kmberly Brooks, this is Jennifer Hale
where the hell is tali's voice actress?
Kay so...
Jennifer Hale is my goddess. FEMSHEP FTW
Kimberly Brooks's regular voice sounds so much like Ashley I was gawking at the screen for a while, haha.
I really like Ali Harris, she's hilarious. Very chill, and her normal voice sounds almost nothing like Liara which I find very impressive. (And I'm pretty sure I spotted Toby behind her... Wow.)
Love the voice acting in ME, always.
I am going to leave Ashley in Virmire since today
Where's Tali?
The view of my lovely female shepard is forever changed.
Ali Hillis: "I don't think there's another choice in the matter." LOL She's so adorable.
Wow, Ashley's voice actor was a surprise.
It's the same way with Dragon Age 2: I personally get deeper enjoyment playing FemHawke because of Hale's performance.

depends fem shep or bro shep? my broshep is romancing liara my femshep kaidan. garrus is like my wing man for both playthroughs, tali is like lil sis, so i suppose liara (when not romancing) is big sis ....

I thought Nolan North had the most video game voices....?
Fell in love with Liara since the first time I saw her in that protean bubble, never stopped ever since. God sometimes I just wish so bad the asari and other alien races were real, then I wouldn't have to adopt children, I could actually get my girlfriend pregnant and have a lot of little blue children. Liara's like the ultimate lesbian dream honnestly. In my mind asari belongs with women, not men.
Am I the only one that instantly recognized Ahley's voice to be done by a black voice actress?
You cannot sustain your defence. You will succumb.
