10 Best Lead Voice Acting Performances In Video Games
5. FemShep - Jennifer Hale (Mass Effect Trilogy)
Get outta here Mark Meer, your voice acting was certainly fine enough and your tone memorable enough, but you're not a patch on the FemShep variant of Jennifer Hale.
Playing both sides of Shepard's constantly fluctuating personality (depending on whether you're picking Paragon or Renegade conversation options) could've gone the way of Aaron Staton's awry turn as Cole Phelps in L.A. Noire, but Hale manages to create a solid throughline from beginning to end.
Those Renegade options too - there is no sterner, more commanding tone than FemShep laying down the law in some alien land. For Mass Effect 2 and 3 especially, hitting the 'interrupt conversation' button always resulted in the most badass of retorts, solidifying Jennifer's performance as a highlight amongst a franchise of standout elements.
