Mass Effect 3 Exclusive Interview with Voice Actress Jennifer Hale at PAX 2011

[danerogil]

It's like he's trying to avoid molesting her... Good, cause if he did she'd kick his fucking ass!

[Akibatai00]

No, reapers aren't the worst enemy out there, Femshap the pissed-off ginger is~~

[bertkerstens]

they brought kasumi of the dlc back my favorite character in me2 ^^

[bertkerstens]

=_= shepard is a ginger? or do you mean the DEFAULT shepard

another preview/interview who completely misses the point and if you make an interview do some research dammit D:

[matejoto]

Jennifer Hale. The most flawless, amazing, stunning voice acter ever.

Also she's so damn pretty.

[danitiwa]

Haha she hates Udina as well <3 yesss

AAA she loves Liara, Joker and Garrus. Jen you are so flawless

[E101ification]

Femshep all the way...

[HyporiZ]

.. the interviewer seems very uncomfortable.

[LordReserei01]

FemShep for the win.

[landialiha]

oh god hahahahahaha

[liamdudeeee]

how can they change the default appearance of femshep when they have stuck with the same femshep default appearance for 2 games already.

[zechrov]

@liamdudeeee because the new default face is awesome!

[ElysiumShadowsong]

Omg the interviewer is terrible...

[LynnJynh9315]

I'm actually looking forward to playing as FemShep this time. Pissed off ginger is awesome.

[XboxAnnihilator]

Bitch >:(

[Stanlos]

My Shep is modeled on Angela Bassett! I hope they have more clothing and hair options for FemShep and more hair and face options for MascShep. I wanted the top from the leather dress but with leather pants as a casual.

[justlookingaround01]

Max... next time you do an interview try to breathe, stay calm, and focus on what you're asking her without coming off as a teenage boy with the squeaky voice and awkward movements (It made me cringe.) I would have left a better impression if I met Jennifer Hale... oh and the swearing was not necessary or impressive and a bit unprofessional to boot. Regardless of the shortcomings with that, I enjoyed seeing Jennifer Hale.

[kusindan]

He wants to penetrate the woman behind the voice of Bastila Shan.

[illogicaLeXplanation]

Haha, Udina is definitely the worst. Totally agreed.

[bernalaso]

I played fem sheperd

[brazilking]

my ginger shepard died...there is no punch line he is as dead as it gets

[hunterbob21]

commander sheperd is the only ginger with a soul ;)

[brazilking]

@hunterbob21 Not when u play like i do

[TheBIOPRINCE]

@hunterbob21 Not, if she is Ruthless...

When it comes to a female characters you need a ginger in order to make an evil bitch >:D!

[Doofe2012]

Ok this idiot right here needs to grow a pair. You're talking to female Shepard's voice actor, not FemShep herself. She's not gonna punch you out if you ask her tough questions.

[dgbussells]

I always play redheads... lol is that weird?

[TheShadowcil]

I played Redhead commander Shepard before it was cool. 8D

[NuclearSharkhead]

@TheShadowcil ME TOO! WE ARE SO KEWL 8D

[kooba]

He's also talking to Jennifer Hale.....can't really blame the guy for being nervous/awkward.

[Wolfsrain90]

"I will kill your dick!"

[Wolfsrain90]

Lol at fake footage with Ash. They know they cut that shit.

[pinklipstick925]

*Reporter talks like he has to pee* *Renegade Interrupt* "I've had enough of your disingenuous assertions!! *Punches report and then walks away* + 5 Renegade Points

[skinnyJEANking2]

I couldn't get into playing as FemShep... In ME1 I didn't like the options... In ME2 FemShep has a giraffe neck... I will finally do a ME1-ME3 FemShep.. But please, give her more OPTIONS!

[souldry]

This is definitely a man that needs to find a job doing something other than interviews. I'm here to help make you better at the job you should be doing.... Just stand in front of the mirror, put on that shitty Keanu Reeves look and say "would you like to super size for just a dollar more?"

[SpookyRissa]

awww sh!t bastilla's in TOR? nice :)

[GarredHATES]

Im so being female trooper!

[itsgelly12]

girls face at :57

[Kurtortonta]

Femshep is awesome

[ultrajd]

Fem-Shep FTW!

[getbuttkik]

faceppalmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[sheliestothestars]

It's so sexy when she says "Bastila is Bastila, she's always been..." with the accent. Holy crap.

[TheNannikk]

bleh. i don't like the idea of femshep as a red head, i always play her as a blonde

[demonhoopa]

@TheNannikk I play her Blonde for Paragon. For queen bitch mode, it's ginger all the way. :D

[mnbgfdsa]

New red hair female shepherd is the thing i was trying to achieve in mass effect 1 and 2 but i aways failed, love it <3

[Doctortermaine]

Makes sense that Bioware made fem shepard a red head lol. Everyone was doing it...including me lol. The pic almosted looked like mine except mine fem shepard has green eyes. My Male Shep is cool, but I love my fem shep. She is so badass

[sunfire421]

Mark meer generally repersents the military aspects of mass effect. While jennifer hale represents the emotional aspects. So there they are Both fuckin good!! Okay Okay.

[MrGameObsessive]

Pissed off gingers... ;)

[stoneroses8818]

man the interviewer talks like he really needs to go pee :(

[danitiwa]

@stoneroses8818 You'd be nervous too if you were talking to Jennifer fucking HALE. :> She's such a legend

[Berserkaren]

Holy Crap! Jennifer Hale!

Kudos for FemShep but her best role, in my opinion, is Bastila Shan from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

I have played that game like 6 times and most of those times is only to interact with Bastila, to hear that sexy vocie. She is a bit bitchy in the begining but eases up a bit later on.

I'd even love hearing Jennifer reading a shopping list in "Bastila mode".

Jennifer also has besides that sexy voice the looks to boot! She does Satele Shan in SW:tOR.

[Gashie2]

Love Jennifer Hale and her work.. but.... the interviewer started to piss me off one minute in and I just can't carry on watching this video....... :(

[spinvudu]

Hale's has a terrific voice acting. I play as Fem Shep since ME1 and am proud to say that she kicks ass.

[neoangelo606]

Jennifer Hale...marry me

[metalkingdom100]

I would fuck fem shep. thats bout it.

[Shakduhn]

agreed with hale, BOOOOOO to the interviewer for playing male shep.

Hale > meer.

[SwingDancer61]

@Shakduhn It does seem like if he even thought he might interview Jennifer Hale, he should have played fem shep at least a bit.

[demonhoopa]

I'm still pissed they cut out the Ashley Femshep romance.

[vicrockz89]

I want to romance Jennifer Hale's face.

[adriansmithgames]

Fire the interviewer, he's shit. there are people out there who need jobs !!!!! :-)

[shadowteamdarklol]

@adriansmithgames to be fair he's probs new, everyones gotta start somewhere

[executioneer7676]

@adriansmithgames lol that voice is so annoying

[MassEffectgrandia2]

hahaha la la la la la la can't tell ya

[OrangeeSays]

I agree with the interviewer at 5:25.

Jacob SUCKS BALLS!

[ThexDynastxQueen]

Who is this scared little boy interviewer? Hale should kill his dick, he obviously isn't going to need it.

[Barderoth]

Yeah!!! Joker FTW!!! Hope ME3 will allow romance with him.

[tekkoontan]

why is the host so lame? he cant talk, someone fire him please

[joshlongley]

i cant take the game seriously when its female shepard

[Rosvosektori]

@joshlongley I can't take this game seriously when playing male Shepard.

...great that we can all choose do we play as a he or a she.

[joshlongley]

@Rosvosektori im not trying to be sexist or anything im just sayin it doesnt feel like it should

[CylonDorado]

This is cool, my fem shep soldier is definitely my favorite out of all my alts. She is really good, her IMDB page is impressive.

[XboxAnnihilator]

Words cannot express how much I hate her acting and would really wish that they just replaced her. Seriously, any line she says makes it seem like she either doesn't give half a fuck, is really sleepy, acting like a slut, or is just a plain old down to earth bitch! Fuck you Jennifer Hale, I'm going to play as John Shepard.

[ldf8u]

@XboxAnnihilator Wow, you've got issues, buddy. Sounds like you've taken this on a very deep-seated personal level in your outcry to prove macho male is better. I've a feeling you would only like the female if she wasn't receiving all this attention and being taken seriously because you are acting like a person being horribly threatened. So much hatred in your one post.

[XboxAnnihilator]

@ldf8u You could say that I hate that she's getting all this attention despite the fact that her character is the same no matter how you make her look. Here's what I think. When you play Mass Effect you have the option of doing good or bad things. When you play as male Shepard, his attitude and personality do change with either option. When you play as female Shepard, her attitude and personality stay the same no matter what option you choose. That's why I hate her.

[ldf8u]

@XboxAnnihilator To exhibit such a reaction is puerile. I do not see you having the same venomous response if it was a male getting 'undeserved' attention. And the vast majority do seem to agree precisely that the male actor is monotonous, his acting the "same," yet garnering all the attention. Even those who favor male state this is why they like him--that you can insert your own personality into a 'blank slate.' You're just a confused, chauvinistic guy whose opinion is apparently Law.

[ChickThatCanSk8]

Femshep all the way. I love Jennifer Hale, she's my idol!

[davidtres28]

Fem Shep shoulda been the canon Shep.

[LustOrigins]

Femshep is badass...

[adriansmithgames]

WHAT AN IRRITATING DICK THIS INTERVIEWER IS, HE CAN'T EVEN TALK. WHAT HAPPENED TO PROFESSIONAL PRESENTERS, THE GAMES INDUSTRY WILL EMPLOY ANY DICK TO TALK ABOUT GAMES !!

[MnMLPFM]

@adriansmithgames Nerd rage for no reason and he has done interviews before its just he is excited. what if one of your favorite voice actors just knocked on your door and offered to allow you to interview him/her?

[hiphop402]

Shit is getting real in ME3 xD lol

[pitthepwner]

woot Sheena Fujibayashi u go gurl WOOT!!!

[commandershadebetter]

Female Shepard is white? Da fuck? Way too many god damn white people... fucking Europeans, just couldn't stay on your continent, could you?

[Fr0st1989]

@commandershadebetter Cry more

[commandershadebetter]

@Fr0st1989 Come up with something more creative than that 12 year old. That was just a fail and a waste. :)

[commandershadebetter]

@Fr0st1989 I see this retarded hasn't replied yet. Obvious, he got owned. What a failure. :)

[rugerdude556]

@commandershadebetter shut up vorcha 

[crazyrahul97]

holy shit!!!! she was bastila???? wow

[Andy180084]

@crazyrahul97 yeah

[Nalenthi]

Oh God, I burst out laughing at "angry ginger."

[rickrastardly]

@SternMann93 I hear you brother. She does move quite well though; I'd poke it. That chick at the end though (forget her name) is more tasty

[Shanongao]

why are ppl saying shes sexy and shit...shes old as hell

[SternMann93]

@Shanongao Ever heard of the achronym MILF?

[Shanongao]

@SternMann93 not even a milf..i kno tht word....

[bat32391]

I can't wait to commit some genocide in mass effect.

[slothXII]

i love you

[PoisonCoated]

I'd let her 'intimidate' me any day...

[torque1718]

She got into character when talking about bastilla

[marianavieira]

Her voice is so damn sexy!

[demonhoopa]

@marianavieira Her "everything" is sexy. :P

[marianavieira]

@demonhoopa Yeeeeeeah!

[jatman0]

The only new squad member announced has been James Vega. I really don't want him to be a romance option. New romances are just redundant at this point I guess for new players but considering what people are missing if they dont play 1&2 I dont see the point. I'd love it if he was like the Protegé/successor of Shepard as Shep has been for Anderson! That'd be awesome! Cause then Mass Effect can end with Shep passing the torch and taking a well earned break or even dying in a blaze of glory!

[BearFang666]

@jatman0

Huh. Never thought of it that way. That's actually pretty brilliant.

[knightchick0883]

Funny that she said she mostly plays blondes and gingers, because my sister's femShep is a ginger and mine's a blonde XD

[Qjemuse]

was she the voice cover for ME2 as well?

[CasualVader]

@Qjemuse Yes. She's been the female Commander Shepard in every ME game.

[ultimatekotorfan]

How is there a Bastila in TOR if it's 300 years after KOTOR.

[TommyIrianto]

@ultimatekotorfan It's Bastila and Revan's descendant. Like a great great great great granddaughter of theirs. in TOR she is Satele Shan. She is the Grandmaster of the Jedi order of that time.

[NinjaRed5000]

the redhead shep still looks pretty damn beautiful, even if she's pissed

[C06coolvette]

Mark Meer is definitely the better voice actor for Commander Shepard. Playing as the female makes the game feel fake and staged if you know what I mean.

[darK3horizoNRising]

@C06coolvette LOL Mark Meer has a manly voice for someone who looks like a pretty-boy.

[VindictiveShadowWolf]

GINGERS DON'T HAVE SOULS!!! THE MAKER IS MOST DISPLEASED!!!

[Archangel2185]

I like Mark Meer more.

[Peelzkeelz]

Opinions are like assholes, everybodys got one with that being said I think Jennifer does a great job at playing femshep regardless of what other people say she could school mark meer on voice acting any day!

[metalkingdom100]

@Peelzkeelz you are obviously suffering from being an idiot so i will disregard your very wrongly stated comment. MALE SHEPARD ALL THE WAY!

[godzilla1077]

@metalkingdom100 I played both and Fem Shep is better. Not to mention Hales voice acting is better. Meer is ok.

[AZNkeeenu]

when in hell are they going to release a Fem Shep ME3 trailer?

[gis9point8mpssquared]

@AZNkeeenu literally, nobody cares. like 20 people in the entire world played a female shepard

[XboxAnnihilator]

@AZNkeeenu Never. She's a bitch

[newbcake88]

@AZNkeeenu In hell? Never. It's a place of suffering. :3

[X3crazyidiot]

Haha the default FemShep now looks exactly like my custom Shep. Jennifer Hale is far better than the voice of the Male Shepard

[levitan71]

ill never EVER spend 35+ hours listning to you jennifer and using the mute button gets annoying after a while..........

[DesnutsInYoMouth]

JEEEEEAAAAAAANNNN! Lol, I love Jennifer Hale. From Naomi Hunter in MGS to Jean Grey in X-Men and MvC3, and pretty much any game or anime you'll find her voice somewhere. :)

[Aska2468]

@larsentriston The default maleShep isn't the most handsome man in the galaxy but all face animations are made on the defaultShep sometimes customShep's face animations look kinda creepy.

[KRAUSER0130]

omni katana

[demonhoopa]

Jennifer Hale is a MILF.

Femshep FTW

[WillBNunn]

I love her

[Spectre6]

FemShep could romance Ashely, since when? Was that a pc mod or was it something that Bioware cut from the game?

[Nintendonicke]

@Spectre6 It´s something bioware cut from the game, blame people like fox news...

[wolf99000]

@Nintendonicke I think that was cut before the whole fox news lies but there was talk about they cut same sex stuff out of me 2 because of that whole mess

I really wish they kept the fem shep ash love heres hope its back in me3

[Clifftopher08]

@Spectre6 yep, it was cut. there's also some cut footage of male shep romancing Kaidan.

[PlaystationThree60]

i didnt kno she was bastila..i love bastila!

[GetRealDudeZ]

crazy laugh 1:12 lol

[jreezy18]

So Ashley WAS supposed to be a romance option for FemShep. Damn why did BioWare cut that?

[jShazBOT]

No I will not buy Magic the Gathering 2012.

[CommanderZero1]

Every man, women and child deserves to be nervous in Commander Shepard's presence...

[nafebronafe]

WTF? Wolverine and the X-Men was canceled? does this mean its coming back?

[lMetalGearSolid4l]

@heliontide we don't care about what u say if u want to watch a video that has a good interviewer then watch another fucking video cuz I don't care that he messed up his words he's still awesome Max

[Blballerboy]

DAM shes nt just a sexy voice GEEZE

[mrzero1982]

god, shes hot!!!

[heliontide]

All of Scoville's PAX interviews are garb. He repeatedly says "umm" to lead into all of his useless spur of the moment questions that contribute zero substance to the interview. Not to mention making incredibly stupid faces and raising his hands and pushing his shoulders together while he stumbles over his brain farts. I can understand interviews might be random and don't offer you much time to rehearse what you ask, but at least try and act professional while you make an ass of yourself.

[mrzero1982]

@heliontide dude, get over yourself. hes cool, you are not.

[heliontide]

@mrzero1982 get over myself? i'm not arrogant by any stretch of the imagination. i'm just not socially awkward and i can tell when someone is being a detached goofball to cover up the fact that he/she sucks at interviewing people. blabbering like he does isn't very appealing to me, regardless of how "cool" people think he is. sure, he's a funny guy at times. but cut the act, and deliver some tangible, useful information instead of making a fool of yourself every time. jussayin.

[karloluffy]

@heliontide I found his skyrim interview pretty informative.

[ThicknSwift]

Where the Fuck is Mark Meer, I'd rather see him than this one.

[asskickingness06]

im going Femagade throughout my playthroughs, FemShep is the biggest bitch in the galaxy

[CreedKing]

This Game is goNa Awsum cant wait for it!!!

[Yakko77]

My first ME play through was a redhead femgineer and that has been my primary and most replayed shep ever since so I'm really glad the ginger femshep won the vote!

[AlphaHawkP]

I think he was slightly afraid of being knocked out like Ms. Al-Jilani; minding his questions in that interview :)

[jvdaboss]

How can you hate Jacob? :(

[NeverNoticedMe]

I made her a blonde

[WelcomeGhostsIV]

She did Bastila! Awesome!! :D

[IEXxILEDI]

Im commander shepard and this is my favorite booth at pax.

[TheFallout48]

anyone think they might do a title update that puts the default female shepard in ME1/2?

[BeerTimeGaming]

I'm glad they settled on the red head for marketing purposes. I couldn't believe how many people choose the blonde tranny version on facebook.

[forrestang]

Max annoys the crap out of me.

[StupidShinigami]

lol it's like he's not used to talking to females!

[TheEvergreenOldboy]

Max well fancies her.

[vnnk3]

Bastila <3 

[LesterWAR]

Hale is a good VA but people treat her like a voice goddess. Sorry, I tried FemShep twice, doesn't sound right as Shepard.

[TheBreadfan]

It's hardly a ME3 interview if she says "as soon as you ask me a ME3 question I just hear lalalala".

[FXIX]

got tricked by the title. Damn it.

[norby511]

wet has a brunet 

[xipheonj]

@norby511 but that was Eliza Dushku

[DavetzWin]

I remember her voicing Samus in Metroid Prime, what a masterpiece that game was.

Even thought she just went "argh" and "umph".

[CarrieTH2010]

ashley bi in me3 cuz she was straight in me1 but that was me1 footage based on ashleys hair and the graphics

[sparton1199]

jenniger hale is dark haired girl in Mercenaries 2. her boobs giggled to o.O

[jamestown111]

Max, you suck at your job. The end.

[andy7666]

@jamestown111 Yep, and that fat dude too..

[tommapar88]

Max it's like super excited when he talks, he talks with a high pitched voice, which happens to lots of people when they're nervous or excited ;)

[CHZadam]

awesome interviews, but its gotten to the point where i just close the tab when im bombarded with magic ads
