Those who played: which Ryder va?

Both give strong performances I felt. I felt Sara had a bit more passion at times to her tone but honestly both did an excellent job. I intend to play both (in ME1 and Me2 I couldn't play male shep as I felt Mark Meer's delivery was too flat compared to Hale's... though in ME3 his performance was vastly improved and I managed to complete a male shep playthrough thanks to it). This time however I can easily see myself enjoying both performances.

I think scott is suppopsed to be more sarcastic and casual and sara is more serious but i enjoy both and will play both but scott for my first playthrough

I like them both, I think you can't make a mistake picking either, but I like Fryda a bit more.

Both have really good delivery. It's a shame I don't like what they deliver though.

Fun fact, Female Cypher and FemHawke are voiced by the same Voice Actress

Based on this, it looks like you dislike VAs with british accent. Considering that, you should be fine with both, since both use american accent.

SisRyder is my favorite of the 4 actors of the Mass Effect games. BroRyder is somewhere more uncertain, maybe better or maybe about as good as the Shepards.

I'm basing some of this this off appeal of acting style and character presentation - I prefer explorers more than soldiers, for example.

Since I like the sound of SisRyder so much (and spoilers about recent romance choice revelations), I may even make her my main. Ugh. I don't WANT to, but she sounds better and she has more of a deal I like (even her relatively more curiosity about things as a character). Only sadness is that she's female.

But whatever, point is, she sounds great. Really sounds the idea of Ryder more, a departure from say, FemShep, whereas BroRyder has that part (in dialogue options, in design) that seems to try to have a strong aspect that at least optionally is like a softer (Male)Shepard. And I'm done with Shepard as playable protagonist.

I think I'm the only one that hates Fryda's voice and voice acting. She's my least favorite VA out of the 4: her, Tom, Mark & Jennifer. Yes, I'll even take Mark Meer's bland delivery of ME1 and ME2 over Fryda's way too earnest, childish, dorky voice in this game.

both Tom and Fryda are really good but I prefer Tom as Ryder more, plus I don't know if it's just me but Male Ryder voiced by Tom seems more sarcastic and Casual all the time which I like

I honestly find myself having a hard time really choosing, but it's made so much better in the fact that both VA's get to exist in the same universe at the same time, unlike Meer and Hale. I think Bio did a good job casting these two to be siblings. I do like some of F!Ryder's random goofy lines though: "If I get eaten alive, no matter how hilarious…..destroy the vids."

UPDATED VERSION:

I think SisRyder acted it better throughout. I'm only playing BroRyder but I'm going off of much footage I've seen.
And I don't just mean 'better actor', but acting better as a Ryder protagonist. I'd say the same for MShep in ME3, where I think Meer surpassed Hale and understood the character better finally.

However, SisRyder's character appearances and animations can be more noticeably annoying and downright jarring, so its a tossup for what to pick, at least for now.

But sure I'm looking forward to a SisRyder run.

This threads a bit old, but OP, if you like F!Smuggler in SWTOR you should like Fryda as Ryder. She's similar in being able to deliver the funnier/light-hearted lines well but then also switch to more serious stuff with ease.
