me too

>>381641560
Wait, what? They didn't actually pay a voice actor that much did they? Gal Gadot only got a 300 grand paycheck for Wonder Woman.

nepotism and mediocirty

are these people high?

>>381642019
You disgust me

>>381641560
>$450k for a single game
I recognize she's a decent voice actor but that price really shows everything wrong about the industry, this shit is becoming a second hollywood ffs.

>>381641560
but anon if voice actors doesnt get atleast half a million they will throw temper tantrums

Don't these union fucks want royalties and shit for doing a few dozen hours of voice work?

>>381642957
thats one of the "if we can get it, cool"
but the strike is actually A lot about the working conditions, which are surprisingly sub-standard

>>381641560
I want to be honest Ashley is generally annoying but im not sure if shes that bad.
I honestly cant decide if i like her work or hate it.
Any one want to help convince me?

>>381643048
>substandard

Source for that rate?

>>381643229
why are the VAs both the polar opposites of their characters?

do you think ash ever had her way with hannah in the back room?

>>381643048
What about the working conditions were they un-satisfied about?

The last time I checked about the matter the argument seem to about basically boiled down too them complaining about the fact the bonus they get upfront for recording the game is not residuals.

>>381641560
I get that voice acting isn't EZ mode but you shouldn't be getting a higher paycheck than a brain surgeon or astronaut because you drive to a booth and spend an afternoon saying shit into a microphone. VAs don't even have to memorize scripts, act out, anything. Even performance actors deserve more than VAs do.

Pay them fairly, sure, but VAs like Burch are greedy fucks with their heads so far up their asses that it's not even funny at this point.

>>381642117
you have to remember though its a union, not everyone in the union is going to support the idea of striking but they have to go along with it or else they ruin their career.
I think Ashley has a passion for LiS because even though she cant act for the voice in the new game shes a writer now.
It sort of shows imo that she wants to work but the industry is holding her back.
Thats just what i see i could be totally wrong.
If she does work during a strike she'd get her career ruined.
Im guessing the strike is more for extras in stuff.
Although i do find it strange that VA live mostly middle class lives and still live a very open life. Ive been stalking VAs on facebook lately. and i found a few semi famous ones and their actual facebook account a lot of them lead pretty normal lives compared to a real movie actor.

>>381643315
Idk but I heard that Kate's VA and Max's VA are dating IRL

>>381643462
fuck unions

>>381643462
>>381643593
Unions suck and anyone in on the protest personally is an abhorrent person. Greed's one thing, but getting paid nearly half a million for sitting down and reading lines in a comfy studio for a week and bitching about you not being paid enough is complete lunacy.

>>381641792
If that's her in OP pic she looks just like him, which I'm sure that fucking cuck burch would take a compliment

>>381643593
I gotta agree in a way, It really feels like this voice actors strike is hurting people who want to work.
Remember the VAs didnt collectively talk and decide the strike, the big guys upstairs did.
I have this obsession with voice actors, I talked to one on a stream and i asked them about the strike, she said a little bit about it but from what i could tell she was mostly in the dark about it too and said she was actually talking to producers about getting work after the strike is over.
This thing is actually hurting people who want to work do voice over work. but she did that negotiations opened back up recently and thats the last she heard.

and yes i did just admit i stalk voice actors on the internet.

>>381642117

>but nah, let's skip getting more money because some people on /v/ think you shouldn't

their greed is why the strike's still going on.

>>381643732
Like the anon said, she was part of the union before the strike and so even if she didn't want to be paid more she has to go on strike as a union member

A big one I heard is for mocap actors. Their vidya industry directors are kinda incompetent and it results in injuries.

The royalties thing is bullshit, but that at least is a legitimate complaint.

I understand worker welfare and shit but there is a point where a union has too much power

most of the whining isnt about being paid enough, its about poor working conditions

>>381644842
You'd rather have a corrupt union situation that makes sure you get paid than no union and not getting paid.

In recent years with NAFTA and the proliferation of mega corporations like McDonalds and Walmart essentially shitting on the worker has shown that while unions are grossly inefficient bloated piles of garbage, the one thing they do is ensure that the worker gets paid a livable wage.

And that's all that matters. The whole point of unions originally in the 20s is to prevent workplace abuse and slave-like compensation; and they are still doing that job; that is the only job they need to do.

So for all the negative things that I could list about unions being corrupt and having too much power, they still get that single job done and they are probably single-handedly responsible for the middle class not completely going into the shitter. And if you don't believe that, compare a unionized worker in the first world to that exact same job in China.

Voice actors are little bitches and their union action is fucking retarded. However, without the union they'd get fucked in the ass just like everyone else in the industry except in their case, they actually have physical demands on their body that will cause permanent damage; they can't just do "crunch time" like a programmer can. I have to say they deserve to negotiate in a union for protections and compensation they certainly deserve. Will that kill game development to some degree? Yes. Do we need voice acting? Fuck no.

Ultimately this is what is going to happen. They will get what they want; game development costs shoot up; players will refuse to pay more for games because we're all pieces of shit, regulating voice acting to only AAA studios; therefore there will be less voice work out there but what work there is will be healthy and fairly compensated unlike every non-unionized job out there.

that all came from a buzzfeed article that has since rescinded everything it said multiple times

Post source, stupid OP faggot.

https://www.sagaftra.org/files/2016_video_game_agreement_0.pdf

According to this agreements, voice acting costs don't even come close to cracking $100k

>>381644050
>job is supposedly easy and pays well
If it were true then why are you not doing it? I am and it's not easy and it pays like shit. The pros of the job is that it's fun unlike some shitty depressing 925 bs

>>381643048
right, right, which is why they're asking for the residuals the devs actually deserve.
Greedy entitled jewish fucks.

>>381646870
>Do we need voice acting? Fuck no.

You can't be this retarded now can you?

>>381646870
You give modern dev studios too much credit, they would shit themselves and cry in their sleep if their AAA/"""indie""" studio had to deliver a single player experience where the only dialogue is delivered through text

>4chan calls you a cuck for doing this
makes you realise most of this board haven't done a days work in their lives, most bosses will walk all over the little guy if they get a chance and having people at the top supporting the bottom is exactly what is needed for many people who's livelihood will go away if their conditions do not change
