Mass Effect has two leads, Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale, but you'll only hear one of them as Commander Shepard per playthrough. According to player stats, most people play as a guy, meaning Mark Meer is their Shepard throughout the trilogy. 

However, Meer encourages players to give FemShep a go - purely so they can enjoy the performance of his co-star, Hale. Speaking with PC Gamer, Meer says that he's a huge fan of her work, and doesn't have any problem with players choosing to only play as FemShep because of her performance.

I always tend to think in rpgs what gender seems to fit the kind of a playthrough I'm going for. For some reason if I do something like wood elf ranger it would def be a female. Bulky warrior with a 2h axe? Guy. 1h shield paladin who smites the unjust? Guy. Someone with keen knowledge of the arcane that freezes everything? Female. Cloak and dagger assassin? Female. Pyromancer? Guy. Witch? Female.

Sometimes I mix things up, like the paladin one. And sure, I also take personality into account which can switch it up.

Haven't played mass effect so no idea about rhe "classes" in it.
