BioWare to me has through all of their games, even ones I was not a huge fan of have had superior voice acting.
Great choices of voice actors, great direction, great ancillary character voice acting.
So who are your favorites?
As far as major characters go, getting David Warner for Jon Irenicus and Martin Sheen for T.I.M was brilliant.
Just getting a local Edmonton Actor Mark Meer for Male Shepherd worked out perfectly imo.
The voice actress for Sera like her or hater was perfect imo.
So may good choices.
Who do ya'll like?

Bioware are always on point with the VAs and I completely agree that Martin Sheen was a perfect fit for TIM. My other favourites (which is based solely on my biased opinion for some of my favourite characters ) are: - Indira Varma (as Vivienne in DAI), her voice was a natural fit for Vivienne's condescending and snarky attitude
- Rick Wasserman (as the Arishok in DA2), his voice added to the Arishok's gravitas. Even his "nos" are said with conviction.
I'm sure there are other VAs that I'll mention later but these two were at the forefront of my mind.

This may be too obvious but I do think, Jen Hale has to take the cake here. She delivered extremely high quality constantly over a massive amount of voice lines in multiple BW games, from KotOR to Mass Effect.
But all in all, it's super tough to point at specific people who stand out because most of the time, it's all about interaction and ensambles.
Just individually (and as a matter of personal opinion), I'd also have to mention Ali Hillis because a) when you hear her speak normally, you wouldn't know at all that this is the same person who voices Liara T'Soni and b ) when she does put on "her Liara voice", it is one of the coolest - dare I say sexiest - female voices I know.
But yea, in general, the quality level is so high in these games (even the ones I didn't like that much) that it's hard to pick out specific people.

I know I'm a total Cassandra Pentaghast fanboy - that character has by far the sweetest accent and female voice I've ever heard in a game (and in real life too I think), and oh boy I have played my fair share of good RPG's over the last 20 years. Her voice actress, Miranda Raison, is super talented.
Best Bioware male voice award goes to Zaeed, voiced by Robin Sachs. I loved that unique gruffy but not overdone voice, it fit perfectly for that veteran. RIP Robin Sachs, your work will not be forgotten.

I'd say Reyes, Jaal, Sera and Cassandra from the new ones. Really liked their acting.
From older, Meer did ok job and from the ones I remember Miranda's voice was done good even though I never liked ME2 much. Not really fond of Hale to be honest.

Her voice actress, Miranda Raison, is super talented. Yes, she is. I think I saw her the first time in Spooks -series and was hooked.

Yeah, not sure how, but I managed to forget Tricia Helfer (EDI). So good.

I loved her in BSG....so sly and devious and yet sexy as hell at the same time. AND....she's Canadian Eh! In fact, most of the cast on BSG are Canadian (Michael Hogan was born in my home province.... so cool! I had no idea that so many of the cast were Canadian. But back to the topic at hand.....I also really liked a lof ot he voice cast of old games like Wing Cammander and FULL Throttle.....oh yes, and Indira Varma (earlier post above mentioned) as Vivian....she really played up the 'holier than thou", fanciful yet powerful mage role. Vivian was powerful and she knew it.

well, i really love all the voice acting, so what stands out is the overall level imo. I dont think i could choose one. Hale obviously lifted a lot and very well, but smaller roles are really good. Meer isnt as good at some points but he did many other good stuff like most vorchas (afair ?) So maybe it s the directing/casting which is to praise for such a good work
I now wonder how bad is the voice acting in french. Edit: just listened to the intro and it sucked in french. My god... Also i m under the impression the French voices are mono and so not localized in the image while the english ones are?
