Come on, Male Shep is still a jerk, but a badass.

Plus the range of voices he does for the series is pretty impressive too, but everyone downs on the man. If you're going to blame anyone blame the writers and what they asked out of the voicing.
The only person who can stand up to Jennifer Hale, in my book, is David Hayter anyway.

He's detached and blander than cold porridge.
Most of the side characters have better VA's. Garrus's voice comes easy to mind, isn't it sad Shepard's doesn't? I'd admit his performance towards the end was good though.Wh what do you need me to do..!
;_;
Oh god imagine Steve Blum voicing Shepard.

I just can't imagine Shepard being so emotional in his voicing, I just can't. The character and how he is written calls for a calculated leader who has those around fall in behind him through hell and back. Sure, some more emotion could be put into some speeches like the final speech before the Collector Base, etc. Overall Meer didn't do a terrible job, and his voice is recognizable.
You're just being overly anal about voice acting entirely, in my opinion. The man didn't do a bad job, could of it been better? Sure, but so could of a lot of voice acting in the Mass Effect series.

I dunno, Hale puts emotion into her voice acting, so I don't think that being detached is exactly necessary.

I feel Male Shep and Fem Shep are two completely different ends of the spectrum. In my mind at least she has to have more emotion because she is a female, and that is not trying to be sexist. But a guy under pressure too me in that role would be more focused on the point of getting shit done and going home afterwards. Jennifer did the same thing, but as a female she puts more emotion into it as her character just feels like it should.

That has precisely nothing to do with her vagina and everything to do with her talent as a voice actress.

I read it 3 or 4 times because it was really awkwardly written and confusing to try and decipher.
And then I went back and did it again but it still looks like you're saying ''jennifer hale is better because she's a woman and women do emotions better''.
So stay buttmad.

I don't think Bioware has officially acknowledged the theory of indoctrination at all.
So yeah. Right now it's nothing more than a theory.
