Unlike Mass Effect (and evidently, DA2) there is no VA for the player character in DA:O at all. There are some incidental battle cries here and there, but that's it. So just build whatever gender you like. (beaten)
Honestly, this may be a ridiculous recommendation so take it or leave it, but after having played every inch of the game, every intro and every ending, I almost recommend playing a character build of each of the six origin stories, then play the rest of the game with whichever one you liked the best. The first hour or two is different for each of the six "backgrounds": Human Noble, Dwarf Noble, Dwarf Commoner, Magi, Daelish Elf and City Elf (on the character build screen, it's at the bottom after gender, race and class. In addition to finding out which character you like the best, you'll really get a fleshed out picture of the huge, deep world DA takes place in. And there are some really cool subtleties you'll pick up on as the game progresses... NPC's that were huge in one origin story may just be a passing shopkeep or something in another, and if you play one build you'll never know it. But if you just do the first hour and a half of each one, you'll constantly be delighted at the little things you notice for the next eighty hours. I dunno, it's a thought.
