I agree on the top end, for sure. All of us bottom-feeders would just like a dollar every time our recordings are used. That's what the residuals fight is all about. It's not even *all* the games...just the ones that sell more than 300,000 units. As it were, less than 30 did that last year. That...

Yeah....me too...that's so funny I nearly pissed myself...:) One hallmark of good voice acting is that you barely notice it. It's like the officiating in professional sports. When it's good, you'll never notice it, but when it's bad, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Don't try to one-up...

Entirely different? Ever look at the credits of video games *or* cartoons? If you did, you'd never say something like that. Many voice-over artists do both video games and cartoons. Guys like Rob Paulsen (Raphael, TMNT; Pinky, Pinky & the Brain) do many voices in many different voice-over...

Torgo, you're right on with what you said about the VO directors...It would probably happen just as you said. As for you, Boogerbomb, it can't work that way. The way the rate structure is, an actor who actually wants to work ever again would never do what you describe. It'd be just like...

See I don't understand why people are so intent on vilifying voice actors in general. If we're going to compare apples-to-oranges, why aren't people mad at the guy who works commision sales, whether in retail, or worse, in advertising sales? You know that people are getting some sort of...

Yeah....let's tell a dev team at EA that their job duties and hours just increased with the same salary. I can see that job situation going from tepid to postal. I doubt the poor programmers would support that. It's one thing to do cameos like many games do now, but all the lines for a main...

Neeyo, how does it feel to be a contrarian?

Magoo, Remember Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Rob Paulsen, one of the best in the business was Raphael, and because of his residuals from TMNT (his first big show), and the toy sales of which he got a cut, was able to pay off his mortgage. I only bring that up because on the flip side of that...

You know, last I checked, I said the vast majority had no clue. Did you think I meant you specifically? You're one of the few people on this topic that I've bothered to read since your responses were morre intelligible than "I don't like you," or more vebose than, "F%#@ 'em." And I also know...

OK...after reading 13+ pages of this discussion, I had to chime in. There are obviously some universal truths derived from observing the banter on this topic. *tongue firmly into cheek* 1) Everything posted on the internet *must* be true (in reference to the ill-written Yahoo news post)...
