What's the status of the voice actor strike? are those

it's not like the programmers or most of the other devs got a chunk of that money either

>Thinking voice """performances""" matter in a call of duty game

I wish these idiots would get paid less

>>378883340
These are still plenty of millions

>>378883340
>performers received 450 million dollars for saying "Ramirez, defend out burgers!"

They got way to much

>Americans get some of the highest paid jobs on average in the world
>Still want even more

They literally have zero reason to do this strike other than for more pay
>Good enough pay
>"Losing voice" is just part of the job
>People are annoyed people with wider voice range get more jobs and are cheaper
>People forget to "act" and yet want the same feeling as being a actor

It must suck for a voice actor who just likes his job and isn't a greedy asshole to be associated with this.

15 000 000 000 * 0.0003 = 4 500 000

four and a half million dollars for shouting some lines into a mic seems pretty decent cash desu

>15 billion dollars

>performers get
>45 million

This is so fucking unfair. Call of Duty franchise would be dead in the water if it wasn't for the brilliant performances of our voice acting guys and gals.

Bro I think you're understating "losing voice", people literally were bleeding in their throats and required surgery after particularly brutal recording sessions.

Bottom line is the safety stuff is all that should've been on the line in this stuff (like this and the stunt coordinator for mocap), the extra pay stuff is expecting way too much.

>>378886640
actually 450 million

fuck them, VAs spend months behind a rigged camera, in a medium where actors take a backseat, and are disappointed that get a fraction of actual actors?

>>378884510
I'm dumb, I multiplied by .03 instead of .0003
for percentage

So how much do the programmers, artists, animators, mocap actors, QA testers, producers, designers, and military advisors get paid?

>bitching about getting only $450 million

>>378886892
You're suppose to have a relaxed lyranx and circular breathing like singers should have. If you have a bad technique you're going to have a bad time

>>378886913
>450 million
Christ, I'd be very happy with that pay check. I'd be set for life with that much money. I wish I wasn't an amateur voice actor.

>>378883340
That picture must be a joke. Voice acting isn't worth 0.00001% of a game. This isn't an animated movie or TV show, it's a game where only graphics and gameplay matter.

Voice actors should be doing their job for free, fucking useless entitled niggers.

>>378887445
i'm pretty sure they used more than one voice actor over all the call of duty games

>>378887451
Why do people think work should be free? Oh entitled faggots in college

>>378887640
Work is a privilege.

>>378886892
Their fault

If they couldn't do it they shouldn't have done the job and should have correctly prepared themselves for it

>>378887851
No its not. Time is money and compensation is required. How can work be a privilege? Its not comunisim

>HURR WHY ARE THEY SO GREEDY

but you do realize that the majority of this money just goes towards marketing and the producers i.e. fat cat CEOs that don't even give a shit about the game just pleasing investors instead right?

maybe the VAs don't deserve a big cut for what they do but if you think that money is being used on something better you're just a moron

>>378888146
I'll do the cod voice acting myself, I don't need to be paid to say "Ramirez go get that burger!" in a fucking mic.

>CEO's of companies make billions of dollars
>the average grunt worker makes .0001% of that

Woah...those poor voice actors...

>>378887264
Performance matters, dumb nerds don't matter.

>>378883340
That's still $4.5 million.

>>378888237
That's fine. You'll get real far in life but what do you know you're still in your parents basement. People gotta live in the real world

>>378888642
What are you, some kind of burned out wage cuck?

Assuming there are 100 VAs per game and each VA gets an equal share, that's 45k per person.

>>378888813
Oh shit, nevermind, I thought it said 15 bil per game.

>>378883340
who wants to bet 99% of that 0.03% percent went to kevin spacey?

>figuring out cure for cancer

>not everyone in the world can provide at least decent voice acting, but a majority can

Whiny hollywood douches have destroyed Hollywood and now need a new industry to parasitize.

Voice Actors contribute the LEAST to the game. They can FUCK OFF demanding contracts including royalties and grand multimillion-dollar salaries. The developers who MADE THE GAME dont get residuals and mansions full of big-tittied bimbos wearing cocaine bikinis, why the fuck should Wil Weaton's cartel get such luxurious payments?

>>378887579
Even if they paid to 10000 voice actors throughout the franchise, thats equivalent of 45000$ per actor. Thats apretty good average desu
