Creepy, every time you hear Keith as Harbinger, you feel like a dozen icicles are going up or down your spine, the ultimate Boogeyman, he really is the most greatest and scariest of all monsters and villains ever, his most iconic line isn't "Assuming Direct Control", for me, it's more likely to be "If I must tear you apart, Shepard, I will." Yikes and we thought Corypheus in D.A. Inquistion was scary and/or the worst of all of them combined.
Mass Effect 2 - 2010: Recreates Miranda's VA's face with 90% accuracy. Mass Effect Andromeda - 2017: Recreates Female Ryder's face model with 0.9% accuracy...
Probably the best game ever made. Voice actors did an excellent job here. Music and story. The pressure and loyalty system. Timed missions. Simply superior.
i love how similar all the characters look compared to their real life counterparts, i think Mirander and Yvonne look the best, they have the same lips, same proportions, same eyes, even the same eyebrows!
you forgot one for Claudia Black, shes in ME3 as well, shes a bartender in both in ME2 on Elysium, and in ME 3 on the Citadel, and Liara's OTHER parent
Got to love how both the appearance and voice for MShep are both called Mark. Saying that though, wouldn't it be great if ComicCon could convince Mark Vanderloo to dress up as Commander Shepard the do a Q&A with Mark Meer answering all the questions behind the scenes will Mark V mimes along.
I know right :D I also liked Liara and Samara's one.. I finished the trilogy with a female shepard and now that I started it again with the male one, it seems so strange when my character talks, sometimes I get confused and I say "aw, that's me" :P
Really? I never connected with the female Shepard's voice. I liked Liara's voice. I prefer women with softer tones in their voice instead of rough deep-bass ones.
Debating on the best character, instead of poiting out the incredible likeness of facial features per the lending actor to their character. Obviously aside from Krogan and the Mechs, but even some Asari feature look like the actors. Miranda, is the most pertinent.
And if ever they make a movie of Mass Effect 2, all they need to have their Miranda Lawson-- step 1, take Yvonne Strahovski, step 2, add bottle of hair dye (or dark wig), and *voila*, one genetically-perfect Cerberus cheerleader in two easy steps. (Come to think of it, the same steps could be applied for casting Martin Sheen as The Illusive Man...)
DorianMichaelsIII yeah man but Captain David Anderson needs to be played by idris elba he could be perfect for the role. Captain Bailey as MIchael Hogan could be perfect 2.
@@necfreon6259 I was implying, or at least trying to confirm, that her/his opinion has changed after 2015 ... "the best voice acting I ever seen", Well, this was 9 years ago. Do you still believe in this? There were so many new franchises...
+Thetruegamer I adore Grunt so much. He did so well. Grunt is like the cute little puppy you snuggle with that randomly growls at you acting all tough, but licks the hell out of your face at the same time.
Thetruegamer My favourite moment is when he gets in trouble on the Citadel DLC and at the end femshep says I love you, Grunt and he just does his hehehe giggle. Love it.

Its interesting that the first time I see Miranda, she instantly reminded me of someone (looks wise) but I couldn't put my finger on it. Well, it all makes sense now.
0:37 Liz Sroka - sroka in Polish means magpie. No wonder Tali has that wonderful Slavic accent. 6:38 Keith Szarabajka - szara bajka as two separate words means: gray fairy tale. That's also in Polish and it suits Harbinger very well.
Mike Hawk It was serviceable for the purpose of giving you a setting to fight in, but aside from that, Killzone 3's story was unexceptional in every way.
best scifi game saga of all times.
Andromeda is shit lol
Shame that ruined Mass effect : Legacy
well, most of the people in Bioware left and went to CDPR during the years, after EA buys the company.
RobosergTV i agree! Cant belive i didnt play them sooner.
Then Andromeda happened
Martin Sheen voiced the Illusive man? Hell yeah
+Miles LeBlanc (RambozoTheClown) the very moment i heard the illusive man talking, i recognized that voice, Martin Sheen did an excellent job
You didn't notice the character was almost an exact copy of Sheen's face?
Other than Seth Green as Joker, his was the most easily identifiable voice actor in the series.
@@Savage-- Miranda was also modeled after Yvonne Strahovski
Duh
i love how most of those actors look simular to their characters, especially the Codex guy
Trashbin2797 jajajajajaja
Tali?
Kuwabara Kuwabara
especially Legion
i died lmao
"Alliance ships have bridges, Asari have cockpits!" ROFL
Of course, that can't be true. A species that is all female would never have a evolutionary reason to develop cockpits.
@@KravMagoo They still need to give birth, you know.
love Tali Zorah voice. Great voice choose in all characters! a bioware masterpiece!
Mass Effect has probably the best voice acting in history of games. Not to mention that its the best fucking game in history too.
lol calm down
@Ultra, well that's arguable.
At that time maybe! 2015 emerged a masterpiece which destroyed a lot of franchises for a long time!
The game wouldn't have been so immersive without a great cast of voice actors. Great job!
Yvonne Strahovski is the most beautiful woman alive.
Windows are structural weaknesses, Geth do not use them
Ahh Legion and Garrus are my favorite ^^
ah that is so cool how they had Sarah (yvonne) and Casey (adam) in the same game!
Even Carrie Anne Moss (Casey's spy girlfriend)

harbinger might have had a more vocal role but even so he was nothing compared to sovereign.
*Direct intervention is necessary*
All of Harbinger's lines are iconic.
"We are the Harbinger of your perfection."
@@halowraith1 I wish I could go back in time and hear him speak for the first time again. That whole monologue was just incredible.
Ehh. I thought Sovereign's voice was more, robotic. More, unnerving, ominous. Harbinger sounded more, grand standingish to me.

What the actual fuck, Steve Blum? God damn!
Seeing Steve Blum voice Shadow Broker and Dave Fennoy voice Warlord Okeer nuked my mind.
That’s badass. Trinity from the matrix voices aria
i love how similar all the characters look compared to their real life counterparts, i think Mirander and Yvonne look the best, they have the same lips, same proportions, same eyes, even the same eyebrows!
Is that who does EDI's voice or who her appearance is based on?
EDI has no appearance in Mass Effect 2.
That's the joke. Thank you for questioning and killing it.
Alexizpesky Tbf, I think it was already dead.
Good point. Apologies.
She has a humanoid body in ME3, though, so who knows?
Listening to Admiral Raan's and Admiral Xen's voice is pure pleasure for the ears.
Xen is Morrigan from DAO.
Fun fact #1: Both Yvonne Strahovski and Adam Baldwin are actors in a TV show called "Chuck" !
Oh my god, Grunt is Spike Spiegel
No way!!!!!!!!
And Oghren from Dragon Age Origins.
Mr. Edit he is also Dempsey from Cod Zombies
Put in triple work too
I just found out Yvonne Strahovski voices Miranda. I absolutely love her in The Handmaid's Tale!
RIP Robin Sachs
I've been watching Chuck recently, and seeing both Sarah and Casey was great.
Nice,, i came for the Carrie ann moss and she appeares silent xDDD
I just love Kimberly Brooks' voice!
Literally just realised Miranda is played by the same actress who played "Sarah Walker" in the nerd spy TV Show "Chuck" 🙈😄
you forgot one for Claudia Black, shes in ME3 as well, shes a bartender in both in ME2 on Elysium, and in ME 3 on the Citadel, and Liara's OTHER parent
ah.. the video that introduced me to Miranda Lawson's voice actress
Steve Blum was _Grunt_?! OMFG, no way! God damn that man is talented!
Кара Пивко :D
Holy shit I knew Admiral Hackett sounded familiar I had no idea he was Lance Henriksen all along goddamn
Keith David, dudes voice is fucking legendary, I know it's him the moment I heard Anderson spoke.
Haha! The voice actors for FemShep and Anderson worked together in Saints Row 4 as the female president and Keith David as the vice president. :)
To this day, the finest cast ever assembled for any game.
Don't forget about Uvenk being voiced by Michael Dorn!
2:38 I've suddenly realised that Samara's look obviously was inspirated by actress Margaret "Meg" Foster ;)
Since this wasn't in the video, Gatatog Uvenk is voiced by Michael Dorn (Worf from Star Trek)
Got to love how both the appearance and voice for MShep are both called Mark.
Saying that though, wouldn't it be great if ComicCon could convince Mark Vanderloo to dress up as Commander Shepard the do a Q&A with Mark Meer answering all the questions behind the scenes will Mark V mimes along.
When you realize both Lee from TWD and Ben Ten is in ME2
Wow! Martin Sheen!!! That’s amazing!
Wow, Mark Vanderloo hasn't aged very well... 0:08
Fun fact: Keith David was in Free Birds for some reason
Damn it, I knew Joker's voice was familiar, how did I NOT know it was Seth Green. God damn it...
Now I know why Joker is so attracted to EDI.
And Miranda played in Underworld and Dexter...haha.
Best voice ever: 5:27
oh lol I didnt know seth green played jokers voice XD didnt even recognize it
The voice acting for this game was superb. Someday I'll go buddhist because I want to be reborn just to replay this epic game.
Definite similarities. Wouldn't be surprised if they didn't do motion capture of their faces while doing dialogue.
PS: That probably left them with a basic face to then build up using the capture markers as reference...which would explain away the similarities.
jennifer hale have the most beautifull female voice
I know right :D I also liked Liara and Samara's one.. I finished the trilogy with a female shepard and now that I started it again with the male one, it seems so strange when my character talks, sometimes I get confused and I say "aw, that's me" :P

The shadow broker looks like something outta those damn void memes.
I don't see Jillian Murray in Liara at all
4:20 is this the narrator from the History channel who always narrates all the events from the past?
Yvonne Polish girl ;)
Pierdolisz :O
Dam Liara's model Jillian Murry is a bombshell...
awsome thank you for all people
Dr. Chakwas was in Quantum Leap! awesome.
Morrigan of Dragon Age. Matriarch Aethyta (Liara's father) of Mass Effect 2 and 3. Aeryn Sun of Farscape.
the voice of miranda loved her in chuck
Today I learned Jim Cummings was in Mass Effect
For keith szarabajka they should have played the "Assuming direct control" part!!
Great and awesome too voice cast in mass effect games series
So many great and memorable voices
Oh... My... God... Just realised that miranda is also in dexter!!!!!
Voice and Sound of ME is very good.
They got two of the cast members from Chuck, should have got Chuck himself too!
when harbinger spoke ...
Trinity from the Matrix is in this game? Awesome.
When you realise the voice of O'keer is also the voice of Vol'Jin in WoW...
Most amazing cast
Jennifer Hale as fem Shepard >>>> Best casting ever🖤 Her voice is low, strong, hot, I had chills🥵
How did I not know Carrie Anne Moss from the matrix voiced aria
Now I'm going to like Joker even more :D
D. C. Douglas!))) I AM THE LEGION!
Courtney Taylor has the best eyes.

I'm here for the Harbonger voice actor
RIP Robin Sachs what a great job u did as Zaeed Massani
(Yes, I'm replying to a 3yo comment)
I'm so glad he voiced Zaeed. I can safely say Robin was immortalized as a big goddamn hero.
Zaeed has one of the best voice actings in the entire trilogy! Always loved this character for the voice acting.
I didn't know he died till right this second. That's heartbreaking. I love his voice in this.
Ashely is actually black? Mind=blown
She always had some Cuban roots. :P
10 out of 10 would romance again.
fuck yeah adds a little more depth to the game
Yeah, I though she was voiced by Mila Kunis, imagine my surprise.
Hah... I never though... I let her die on Vrmir. :P
all the aliens are voiced by humans? :O
DISCRIMINATION TO SPACE MINORY
that's kinda racist
What do you expect them to be voiced by ?
I'm tired of the human washing of alien species in the videogame voice acting community.

Martin Sheen played by Martin Sheen
yvonne strahovski is so beautiful i'm going to cry
em Okay.
Imagine the feeling of Yvonne for being choose to be a model for a character geneticly perfect and beautiful
4:18 for the best voice in the game.
Carolyn Seymour is also close to being best, but undoubtedly guy is the best.
Fl0yt The whole cast is talented, no doubt.
cloudparter think about it, that codex guy had to read every codex note multiple times for multiple takes
Possibly the hardest voice acting job lol
His voice also made listening to the Codex interesting. The emotion also made it more lively.
@@Tenzaromon agreed, I think has narrated for a bunch of shows as well
Knew tali was hot in real life!
Her voice actor looks better than the image they used to portray her.
Migrant Thought her voice actress
That should have been her face in the game...
Kasumi is hot too
@@danielsmith6782 no...
Lol you all shoulda seen my face when I was watching Dexter and Miranda Lawson showed up.
DJatomica WHEN????
Like the 3rd or 4th season she's one of the main characters?
DJatomica Ever watched Chuck ? You should
I managed to watch all of Dexter only realising why I recognised her voice after the fact
You didn't recognize her face?
Man, those deep-voiced actors really hit the spot in terms of chilling and badass.
