I have meet Mark Meer, I was in Canada with my girlfriend and we were walking down a street and some people were crowding around this guy and then he said something and I was like, was that Shep, nah that was not Shep, I turned to my gf and said was that Shepards voice, when I turned back here is Mark Meer with an N7 jacket on and I "fangirled" as my girlfriend says. Got pictures, a signature and a memory to last forever.
For those commenting, saying Keener was acting quite awkward you have to realize if you're not used to being surrounded by hundreds of fans then the whole situation is quite awkward. In my opinion I think he handled himself quite well... I mean if I was in that situation I probably would of hid under my chair, afraid of being attacked by a group of psycho fangirls (or fanboys). O.O
It's also weird that they're all behind him. I mean, on a basic human level, facing a wall (I assume) with dozens of strangers behind you, totally focussed on you, is just uncomfortable
It is so unreal seeing the voice of FemShep and the voice of Garrus sitting next to each other saying "oh..never met you before"... Romance destroyed in 3...2...1.. ;(
Mark is so awesome, you can tell he really enjoyed being Shepard, having played the game, dressing up and doing fan requests for voice over stuff (we'll bang, ok). Best part at 9:15
Mark meer is like the early 2010s Henry cavill. He is a nerd and is totally into what he is making. It does not take the best actor ever to do a great job it just takes passion.
To me he's just awkward and seems a bit embarrassed by the passion of the fans, like when he said "keep calibrating guys" and sort of shook his head after like "man can't believe I said something that corny" and everyone was superexcited about it. Plus, you totally hear Garrus!!
13:14 .Brandon Keener - "I don't understand why Mark and I couldn't romance..." and every gay Mass Effect fan jizzes themselves. And then Jennifer Hale with an epic Paragon interrupt.
"Me and you actually get to interview Mark Meer" "Can it wait for a bit? I'm in the middle of some......................................................................Calibrations"
Poor Brandon, he's overwhelmed and nervous. At least that's how it seems lmao The whole interview seems like they were trying so hard to make Brandon say a Garrus line in character.
"Keep calibrating", something I love about these games is how self aware they are sometimes, the jokes about "I should go" and Garrus' calibration are funny as hell. Or how they joke about the old hacking method back in the first game.
I don't think he didn't want to be there per say [Brandon Keener]. He probably doesn't do interviews very often, and he was surrounded by a lot of people. Probably just nerves. Can be hard to figure out what to say in situations like that (especially when you have a lot of eyes on you).
I wish I could hear Brandon's voice announcing everything in my life. Like, telling me when I have voice mail, or when my car's door is ajar, or even just when I walk into the house.
"Welcome home, Commander. You should probably go check the car door, unless you want to invite more than just the ladies into your little bandwagon you got back there. Or, of course, you could let me get behind the wheel and watch more ladies enter your car." This is what i imagine he would probably say.
Mark Meer seems like a very cool guy. He seems very open with the fans. I LOVE Garrus but Brandon Keener seems more indifferent. "Luckily people don't recognize me."
Two years later, and I'm soooooo geeking out just listening to them speak! Also I noticed on the Star Wars the Old Republic mmo, Jennifer Hale is the voice of the female Republic trooper!!! Haven't played much of that class but the entire time, all I heard was femshep!!!
And those who think that Mark Meer is one-dimensional voice actor keep in mind that he did vorcha and volus voices too besides shepard. I think his voice acting is superb
Asking Mark about his favorite lines, 'would you say that's your most requested line?'. Mark: 'that or my catchphrase, I should go'. No no Mark, we all now it's 'we'll bang, ok?'.
People are like "well at the launch of mass effect 3 he acted kind of weird like he was shy" he seems fine, and if there were that many people behind me with a camera in front me i would seem shy too, and i perform in a choir so i wouldnt say i am that shy
It’s crazy how good technology has gotten in only 10 years. I was born in 1996 and in 26 years I’ve seen crazy technological advancement just imagine what it must have been like for are grand fathers and grand mothers.
@@fotusknight5923 nope, he used nonchalance as barrier - shy personality, good thing too, signs of a deeper or/and artistic personality. he was quite uncomfortable being in the spotlight.
I know, he definitely has one of the most recognizable and beautiful voices I've ever heard, in voice acting or otherwise. It's no surprise he landed the part, I mean, imagine the casting directors delight when they found him! lol Like, good god, what even! HE'S PERFECT!! D8
You know Brandon and Jennifer are good voice actors when their romance scenes in the games seem so real but when their standing next to eachother...it's awkward...o.O
I love that Mark Meer is so into the game!! I was a femshep player for a long time but male shep won me over in Mass Effect 3. Male Shep Paragon is my favorite, although they are all very good.
I couldn't agree more! Me and my friend nearly turned the sound off and just read all of Shep's lines in ME1... but we stuck it out, and thank goodness, cuz Mark really stepped up his game, especially for ME3. Now I can't even imagine Sheppard's voice as anyone else. And Garrus... please. Brandon is a freaking legend. I love his voice and manner of speech.
Marry me, and forever speak to me in the voice of Garrus
I have meet Mark Meer, I was in Canada with my girlfriend and we were walking down a street and some people were crowding around this guy and then he said something and I was like, was that Shep, nah that was not Shep, I turned to my gf and said was that Shepards voice, when I turned back here is Mark Meer with an N7 jacket on and I "fangirled" as my girlfriend says.

Romance destroyed in 3...2...1.. ;(
"We talked about reach... and flexibility!"
Not in one
Mark is so awesome, you can tell he really enjoyed being Shepard, having played the game, dressing up and doing fan requests for voice over stuff (we'll bang, ok). Best part at 9:15
Mark meer is like the early 2010s Henry cavill. He is a nerd and is totally into what he is making. It does not take the best actor ever to do a great job it just takes passion.
Ah, he missed his chance. "I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favourite game in the galaxy"
To me he's just awkward and seems a bit embarrassed by the passion of the fans, like when he said "keep calibrating guys" and sort of shook his head after like "man can't believe I said something that corny" and everyone was superexcited about it. Plus, you totally hear Garrus!!
he literally is garrus and jen hale literally is shepard
It’s kind of ironic but yes, him sort of deflecting the hype and being too cool for the game is very Garrus-like lol
13:14 .Brandon Keener - "I don't understand why Mark and I couldn't romance..." and every gay Mass Effect fan jizzes themselves.
And then Jennifer Hale with an epic Paragon interrupt.
It seemed like that should have been an option, and yet it never happened... Oh well, Garrus is still the man!
Well, sort of... for a turian.
"Me and you actually get to interview Mark Meer"
"Can it wait for a bit? I'm in the middle of some......................................................................Calibrations"
Jennifer Hale Paragon interrupts the Interview, friggin brilliant!
Brandon: "Although I don't understand why...we couldn't, Mark and I, couldn't romance?"
:O, SO GARRUS DOES WANT TO BANG MANSHEP!!
My favorite Garrus line is when he gets a head shot and says "I love this rifle..."
Poor Brandon, he's overwhelmed and nervous. At least that's how it seems lmao
The whole interview seems like they were trying so hard to make Brandon say a Garrus line in character.
Must be hard being Jennifer Hale, having to keep track of what you actually have voiced. She has been in everything!
16:04 Because the mic gets all electronic, he sounds exactly like Garrus
when he goes "and uhh....and uhhhhh" my brain followed it with "im running out of banter here shepard"
This interview always makes me laugh as i feel the interviewer is trying so desperately to get him to do a garrus line...
Bro Garrus looked like he just wanted to be ANYWHERE else, calibrating his weapons…lol
Brandon was kinda overwhelmed by the response.
"Keep calibrating", something I love about these games is how self aware they are sometimes, the jokes about "I should go" and Garrus' calibration are funny as hell. Or how they joke about the old hacking method back in the first game.
I don't think he didn't want to be there per say [Brandon Keener]. He probably doesn't do interviews very often, and he was surrounded by a lot of people. Probably just nerves. Can be hard to figure out what to say in situations like that (especially when you have a lot of eyes on you).
Mark Meer is next to Mark Hamill in terms of being so good to their fans and embracing what they want. Proper amazing person.
He even appreciate the Male Shep+Kaidan LGBT posts with likes on Twitter. He loves all of his fandom, so does Raphael Sbarge
I can't believe they never met each other. This interview was awkward as hell.
Nah, there's delay
I wish I could hear Brandon's voice announcing everything in my life. Like, telling me when I have voice mail, or when my car's door is ajar, or even just when I walk into the house.
"Welcome home, Commander.
You should probably go check the car door, unless you want to invite more than just the ladies into your little bandwagon you got back there.
Or, of course, you could let me get behind the wheel and watch more ladies enter your car."
This is what i imagine he would probably say.
omg mike meer is real mass effect fan
brandon is on the other hand is cool just like garrus.
Hearing mark talk and only hearing male Shepard ooohhhhhhhhh my god it's so KEWWLL.
Mark Meer seems like a very cool guy. He seems very open with the fans. I LOVE Garrus but Brandon Keener seems more indifferent. "Luckily people don't recognize me."
I think brandon's just a lil more introverted. I feel him :D
He literally is Garrus,
oh my god
Brandon sound nothing like Garrus where as when you hear Mark Meer you be like "Holy shit! That's Commander Shephard!"
It's there, it's just not as immediately clear.
TheWayILie95 It's cuz Garrus, being a Turian, has that special effect to his voice, so just hearing the voice normally is quite different.
it is there!! just listen a bit more subtley, you get all the chill garrus tones
I can definitely hear the Garrus in his voice. Then again I was introduced to Brandon before I knew about ME
You can totally tell that Brandon Keener gives exactly zero fucks. He has no interest in being there at all... it's actually pretty hilarious.
+Michael Farese More awkward than hilarious but still pretty cool
Nope. He definitely is realky interested. But that's his specific manner. I guess he is always that melancholic and a bit weird.
Michael Farese he seems quite drunk to me
I should go.
"Keep calibrating, guys!" LOL
"Have you ever romanced Garrus?
"Well..."
Nobody can resist Garrus ;)
Garrus has been my favorite character in anything for over 5 years. Ultimate bro material.
"I have a lot of favorite things on The Citadel."
Two years later, and I'm soooooo geeking out just listening to them speak! Also I noticed on the Star Wars the Old Republic mmo, Jennifer Hale is the voice of the female Republic trooper!!! Haven't played much of that class but the entire time, all I heard was femshep!!!
Knowing that Shepard and Garrus have no clue who each other are in the real world burns a hole in my heart.
Mark Meer is awesome. He's like the Mark Hamill of Mass Effect. So into the actually universe and characters more than the rest of cast. Love the guy.
I hope the new voice actors for Mass Effect Andromeda are as passionate for Mass Effect as Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale, were...
And those who think that Mark Meer is one-dimensional voice actor keep in mind that he did vorcha and volus voices too besides shepard. I think his voice acting is superb
Asking Mark about his favorite lines, 'would you say that's your most requested line?'. Mark: 'that or my catchphrase, I should go'. No no Mark, we all now it's 'we'll bang, ok?'.
so he has romanced garrus in more than one way, interesting… :P
Why I read this Garrus' voice
"Garrus gots to eat," Yea, because he's got the munchies
5:37 points finger gun at head cuz hez board af and doesnt want to be there
Everyone in the back looks so stoked to be there.
I don't think Keener even knew where he was. Lots of awkward moments. Great interview.
WE'LL BANG OKAY
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that these guys will be involved in some way with Andromeda.
Hopefully they bring Mark Meer back as the Vorcha XD
I have to say, Mark Meer's voice acting was so amazing this time around ME3. I was really impressed by the emotion he put into the acting.
People are like "well at the launch of mass effect 3 he acted kind of weird like he was shy" he seems fine, and if there were that many people behind me with a camera in front me i would seem shy too, and i perform in a choir so i wouldnt say i am that shy
It’s crazy how good technology has gotten in only 10 years. I was born in 1996 and in 26 years I’ve seen crazy technological advancement just imagine what it must have been like for are grand fathers and grand mothers.
Is it just me or does Brandon remind anyone else of Woody Harrelson...?
I'll buy whatever Brandon and Raphael Sbarge (Kaidan Alenko) sell as long as they talk with those amazing voices
was he nervous or high...
IKR! I thought he was super drunk or something
@@fotusknight5923 nope, he used nonchalance as barrier - shy personality, good thing too, signs of a deeper or/and artistic personality. he was quite uncomfortable being in the spotlight.
I know, he definitely has one of the most recognizable and beautiful voices I've ever heard, in voice acting or otherwise. It's no surprise he landed the part, I mean, imagine the casting directors delight when they found him! lol Like, good god, what even! HE'S PERFECT!! D8
I couldn't help but notice how at the first of the video he had to look over his shoulders to make sure a fangirl wasn't trying to glomp him.
Huh the title says MIKE Meer.... so does that mean that Mark Meer has another name?
You know Brandon and Jennifer are good voice actors when their romance scenes in the games seem so real but when their standing next to eachother...it's awkward...o.O
So Garrus's voice is not his normal speaking voice?? I swear he sounded just like Garrus in other interviews O.o
1:57 Can it wait a bit? I’m in the middle of some calibrations
"Garrus gotsta eat!" Hahah I love Brandon Keener. Garrus is one of my favorite characters ever.
Brandon seems like he didn't give a damn about the shit around him xDDD
just like Garrus !
I feel bad that Keener sat there while Meer was being interviewed...
After all the intensity, all he had to say was, "Keep calibrating, guys." And what's more sad is he doesn't even SOUND like Garrus!
I think he sounds exactly like garrus just without the voice modification
Mark Meer seems actually like the coolest guy.
Did anyone else watch this just for Brandon Keener?
Meee! I absolutely loved him back then and still do. Wish he had more roles in big projects 😭
i close my eyes and imagine my mr vakarian speaking hehe
I thought a message was gonna come up for Brandon saying:
Can this interview wait till later? I'm doing some calibrations.
Brandon keener is AWESOME, I love his acting
He actually sounds pretty darn close in the episode of Castle he was on.... search UA-cam for "Garrus on Castle"
I love that Mark Meer is so into the game!! I was a femshep player for a long time but male shep won me over in Mass Effect 3. Male Shep Paragon is my favorite, although they are all very good.
Brandon looks like Bruce Campbell XD
Garrus is stoned, Femshep is drunk, and Mark Meer is.... Mark Meer.
They never met before, how weird.
It's not really
Wow Garrus has never met Shepard in real life that is mind boggling......
I couldn't agree more! Me and my friend nearly turned the sound off and just read all of Shep's lines in ME1... but we stuck it out, and thank goodness, cuz Mark really stepped up his game, especially for ME3. Now I can't even imagine Sheppard's voice as anyone else.
And Garrus... please. Brandon is a freaking legend. I love his voice and manner of speech.
Strange to think that these guys basically talk many hours to each other in the games but actually never met face to face.
Brandon did a bit of calibrations at 3:55
they have no idea how disappointed they're going to be with the ending... poor bastards.
Fun fact of the day: Brandon Keener had a bit part in the movie Galaxy Quest, where Robin Sachs (Zaeed) was the main bad guy.
Hahaha Brandon is awesome, very chill out dude...
'How do you get through that process?"
"You show up, they have snacks..."
Spoken like a true pothead. :-P
It's kinda funny to see how hyped everyone was for this only to be pissed off so monumentally by the last 10 minutes...
Wow, Jennifer sounds like she's having so much fun.
I hope that garrus would be in andromeda
Dear youtube why did you have to make this video 360p? I really hate that they do that to old videos.
Its crazy that just these guys talking is awesome
@brenndon1 He replied to someone on his FB page saying that indeed, he'd been up way past his bedtime for this launch party.
Video game launch night hsed to be incredible, when we were a proper society. I wish my kids could experience the midnight launches, the hype, etc.
Actually he was also in LA Noire and he uses pretty much the same as Garrus.
Keener doing us proud from Arkansas!
So glad Mike Meer could make it!
DANG. Mark Meer is out there hamming it up for us. :D
Lol its weird that in game maleshep and garrus are war buddies yet their voice actors never met
People don't recognize him visually? Are you kidding me? For YEARS now, every time Brandon Keener appears in a commercial, I freak the fuck out xD
Jennifer is such a joy
The ending was awesome. Atleast the first choise I picked.
Love Mark's Canadian prononciation of about! XD
In this clip of Keener on ABC's Castle, you can hear Garrus in his voice when he lets it get to that low, gruffy sound...
video id=6QLhoXkmgAk
He played all the vorcha, even in ME2.
