Mass Effect French fans: our voice actors deserve to stay, not AI

Dear EA & BioWare teams,

I'm writing this message, which I believe reflects the thoughts of many Mass Effect fans in France.

With the growing presence of AI in the gaming world, we’re increasingly worried about the possibility of our original French voice actors being replaced by synthetic voices.

English-speaking players are lucky to have amazing talents like Ali Hillis, Mark Meer, and Jennifer Hale. In France, we’ve also had unforgettable performances by Boris Rehlinger (Shepard), Laura Blanc (Liara), Pascale Chemin (Shepard) , and Gilles Morvan (Garrus), among others.

We’ve grown deeply attached to these voices. They helped shape our connection to the story and the universe.

The thought of not hearing their voices again—especially for returning characters like Liara—is heartbreaking. Their contributions are just as vital as the story or gameplay.

Please, do not replace these human voices with AI-generated alternatives. We ask you to protect the soul of Mass Effect, in all languages.

Thank you for reading. We truly hope this message will be heard.

– A concerned fan, on behalf of the French Mass Effect community
