How lucky are we to have a cast that loves their roles in a game that ended over a decade ago?!

[@ladytoxie]

You can tell how much love was put into their roles!

[@brigadinetype4235]

Legends never end. Haha

[@lloidie]

They've been paid

[@desnaa2511]

@@lloidieNah this was actually completely voluntary! They were really just there because they love the games.

[@ladytoxie]

At a fan-run event? Lol sure Jan.

[@Otakugakuto]

I want to say this was such a nostalgic trip seeing and hearing the cast again, thank you to everyone involved organizing this panel. So many interesting heartfelt insights, memories and laughs from the each of the talents behind some of my favorite characters crafted in science fiction and video games ever. It was very emotional hearing Courtenay Taylor talk about her relationship to the role of Jack that allowed her to accept herself and become a kinder person. Of course I adored William Salyers not skipping a beat belting out scientist salarian and Keythe Farley reciting Aristotle and a pretty hilarious limerick. The cast was quick as a whip during the panel and post Q&A, one of the big highlights from last year's LACC, so grateful this was finally posted up online for those that missed it live and fans around the world that still love or are just discovering this amazing series.

[@ladytoxie]

There were lots of memorable moments but especially the ones you listed! Hope the recording makes up for you not being able to attend in person :)

[@itspyrodragon]

I really enjoyed this! Thanks for putting this together.

[@sgtNACHO]

Tali's voice actor just absolutely steals the show. She hit EVERY line perfectly. She just knows Tali inside and out and perfectly captures the energy.

[@ladytoxie]

She really does!

[@NorthernThedas]

Thanks a ton for doing this!

[@ladytoxie]

You're so welcome! Glad people can watch it after the event happened :)

[@kalaelizabeth]

Woooo!

[@ladytoxie]

Yeehaw 🖤

[@pepa614]

And Garrus is not there :( But still amazing. Waiting for another game is sooo long.. So i am glad to have at least something. Thank you! ;))

[@ladytoxie]

It would have been stellar if he could have joined, but it seems he's a very private and busy person. I get it! So glad you enjoyed the panel :)

[@awkad]

have we ever seen Brandon Keener in these kind of events?

[@MysticalLibraries]

Must be calibrating something.

[@Draconiangem]

@@awkad no, though he is known for live action acting as well so probably doesn’t have the time.

[@raindancekidd4413]

Surprised no one has mentioned Jack is also the 111 Sole Survivor. What a wonderful person and voice actor.

[@maxilin9815]

Thank you so much for the ability to meet the incredible actors behind my favourite voices of ME.

[@LF-du4uc]

Getting to know these actors more than just their ME experience was really remarkable and touching.

[@Nippuz]

I just couldn't contain my smile whenever Ash and William were speaking while remembering the journey with Tali and Mordin throughout the games, my absolute favorites along with Liara 💕and Garrus

[@ArchangelRG09]

Lol Ash and William... "Ashley Williams"

[@SinSorrowEU]

Thank you for this. Jack and Mordin, my favorite squad members. ”It had to be me…” still made me cry

[@ledelste]

Glad this got recorded and posted - delightful! It’s remarkable to find it so entertaining to see the actors perform the lines I’ve heard soooo many times from sooooooo many playthroughs. Another thrill. More please.

[@ladytoxie]

Thank you, it was totally an awesome experience getting to do this. Hoping to do another in the future! Maybe before the next ME game fingers crossed

[@KayneZEHN]

2025 and i just played and loved the franchise. it definitely deserves to be timeless!

[@AstariNyght]

BAT BOY THE MUSICAL IS MY FAVORITE MUSICAL. I was today years old when I made this connection cuz I'm a video game newbie. Now I'm crying. CURE THANNNNNNE

[@ladytoxie]

I love this for you!!!

[@ysway1961]

Courtney Taylor!!! Yeeess!

[@jonreposa2746]

Glad to see Ash here i love Tali she is my favorite character

[@joeno-say5504]

I'm anxiously awaiting the house flipping spinoff show with Tali'Zorah vas Rannoch

[@qaskew24]

This was fucking great, This is my first time seeing and hearing them. Thanks.

[@as7river]

A full day wouldn't be enough time to listen to the complete cast of Mass Effect. Would love to have Martin Sheen and Keith David too!

[@bluetwinkiesaregood]

I love Ashley’s voice actor. She has such a beautiful voice 💙🖤🩶

[@dreamwitch777]

A little ironic that Liz is the only one wearing a mask.

[@as7river]

On the contrary. It's the most on character thing she could've done.

[@junit1123]

And dont forget that its purple too

[@Je1imanek]

this game is best gaming experience of my life. Played it for maybe 10times...It was lot of fun, lot of emotional rollcaster...absolut masterpiece

[@aeneidos]

At 45:00 I started having a coughing fit so bad I thought I was gonna end like Thane 💀

[@jasongradyphstiger6179]

The legendary heroes of the franchise.

[@valor1omega]

Ash did such a great job with Tali I wish I could have thanked her for her role of Tali as she brought her to life to such a degree that you could actually believe that she could have been real. I kept Shepard single in ME1 and waited for Tali in ME2/3. Mainly because Ash actually made Tali feel alive and as if Tali really cared about Shepard, that was how good Ash was. Probably going to sound dumb but I wish there were more Tali like characters in games. One of my favorite scenes was Tali singing, I wish we had gotten more of her singing.

[@trentrushmusic]

Not dumb at all! Ironically, one of the most incredibly "human" characters I've ever seen in fiction. Ash did a perfect job with that performance and the writers knocked it out of the park with that character.

[@jamfamreptiles1286]

I am currently on ME3 nearing the end with the Legendary edition on PC many years after I played it on Xbox 360 and this trilogy has been the most amazing memorable game I've experienced. playing it again this many years later still brings back chills and emotions no other game has done before to me. AMAZING work from everyone that contributed in making this masterpiece.

[@elodie2404]

[@BatailleRapTishort]

They've got a lot of knowledge on their characters woah, Courtnay even remembers who the different writers for her characters are

[@brandom5007]

There are two casts that will forever be the best of the best for me: the cast of The Lord of the Rings and the Mass Effect cast.

[@ImKevBe]

I love the mass effect games, I’ve just finally got the shepard lives ending in mess effect 3, I played mess effect 1 only once, but 2 & 3 I had to play them both 4 times to get the endings I wanted 👍

[@crispymeatskin]

Mordin has a best voicelines in all mass effect trilogy

[@shadoethehedgehog18]

Keythe playing with all the thane romancers broken hearts

[@Blast_S_rank_1]

Ash Sroka brilliant as always

[@BKPrice]

Voice Director: "Thanks for coming in, Kimberly. For your first session you'll be voicing Ashley's death scene?" Kimberly Brooks: "What? Death scene? I didn't realize we were recording for the third game already." Voice Director: "No, this is for ME1." Kimberly: "Son of a..."

[@flee4urlives]

the "space racist" was right about everything, hastag teamashley

[@Cheepchipsable]

Wouldn't call her racist, she just knows most groups will put their own kind first in a crisis. My favourite line was ME1 saying the Citadel was like visiting the zoo. 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheDeadAlewives]

I'm glad this randomly popped up on my recommended youtube videos. I've always wanted to see Ash Sroka especially at a panel and I'm glad to see she finally showed up to one.

[@laurencecopnall1]

23:45 well if your wondering what would happen if you had taken the science route...well just look at what happened to peter in spider man

[@dimilodefiler6790]

I like these panels so much. I respect all efforts made to make them happen. The story of ME touched me deeply and will hardly abandon the sanctuary of my soul. Although I think that cast panels can be brought to another level but it will surely raise the cost of them. I talk about simultaneous use of holograms of our beloved heroes and technology of Motion Capture on actors. Maybe it will be even better than new ME game because it means absolutely new experience. I think that millions of ME fans will pay for this. So benefit is guaranteed for them and entertainers. Is there anywhere a company capable of this?

[@Tate_THG]

I love them all, but I can tell they all live in LA

[@ladytoxie]

It does happen to be a place where a lot of acting and voice acting jobs are.

[@PhillGaming47]

This game franchise is the best ever and cast still love it years later makes it even more sweeter. Courtney Taylor is one best voice actress from this to Fallout & others only thing missing is both Shepard’s & Joker Jennifer Hale Mark Meer & Seth Green ❤️

[@shaunpatterson9148]

Cool panel. I should go.

[@ladytoxie]

I SHOULD go...

[@willbloodworth5248]

Courtenay Taylor TOO MUCH?? No no no... Courtenay Taylor NEVER ENOUGH. ❤

[@BlazeTheCatMan]

please bioware bring them back for the next mass effect!

[@michaelnally2841]

Only ones that I think would’ve made this panel better is one or both shepherds, Garrus, and grunt’s voice actors

[@laurencecopnall1]

Shepard died In mass effect 3...or did they????

[@michaelnally2841]

@@laurencecopnall1 I was referring to the voice actors of male and female commander shepherd and as of me typing this both mark meer and Jennifer hale are both still alive

[@laurencecopnall1]

@michaelnally2841 i was referring to them to but I guess you clearly can't understand a crap attempt at humor

[@karsu]

Hope to see you in SDCC. I have 2 panels (one about The Expanse, another about Filipino Martial Arts). Signed (the guy you bumped into @ Longbeach and Ontario). Please say hi to Pinoy Tali and Garrus for me.

[@dimilodefiler6790]

Is it me or Keith Farley and Donald Sutherland look alike.

[@rowdyinxs7546]

Nice

[@jaqenhghar2970]

Did she mean like it was Kimberly's first time at Comic Con or on any panel ever? 'Cuz I swore I saw her at Dragon Con in 2014.

Why is Garruses voice actor NEVER in any of these things? I swear every time there's a meeting of cast members or they go to comic cons he's NEVER there.

[@BatailleRapTishort]

Maybe he's just not comfortable doing these

[@joeno-say5504]

He's right in the middle of something

What is the Fleet Song?

[@BatailleRapTishort]

The song she sings in Citadel DLC

[@axelnilsson5124]

2:50 not the demon slayer?

[@ladytoxie]

It's a big joke in the Mass Effect community that Ashley is a "space racist"

[@axelnilsson5124]

I know but Ashley Williams is also the name of the main protagonist in The Evil Dead franchise

[@dONALD-fortytwo]

Where is Jhale?!

[@ladytoxie]

She is a busy woman! Like we said, this was a fan-run event with zero budget.
