I felt that male shep had a more proper voice for "this is a "faceless" character and you decide how they approach a situation".
It does work for a "faceless" character, but that didn't really work for me. I liked "being" Shepard. If it was Skyrim, or Fallout, I would prefer as little voice as possible because I'm trying to play "S'lith, Tail-Raiser" (or whatever my character is). In Mass Effect - I'm guiding Shepard through the events. I have a lot of control over what she says, or what she does, but it's not me - it's Shepard.
As for FemShep's "tough" delivery - Jennifer Hale did a fantastic job. Her delivery on the Renegade interrupts is fracking priceless. But then, I think personal taste is the difference here. I just prefer FemShep's voice actor to MaleShep.
Just a shame she wasnt the box character =3
But I do have to say - I was quite tickled when the "official" FemShep in the trailers and art ended up looking EXACTLY like the Shep I made myself.
