Dawgstar posted:What's worse is Texas is a non-union state (or 'right to work' as it's delightfully called) so the Voice Actors Guild doesn't have any sway there. There's certainly going to be nothing like residuals. And Takoluka is right, if you want a job as a voice actor you either move to LA where you are always on the hustle for the next gig and really your job is auditioning more than acting or you're in Texas where you do something else. It's why Sabat opened his own studio and other folks also do script writing and directing and such. I was at one of Steve Blum's panels years ago, and he was asked which of his projects was his favorite to watch or play. He replied that he never has that kind of time, which is spent driving around LA to either go audition or to get to whatever his next gig actually is. And he's one of the bigger names in VA!

When he was interviewed by Daryl Surat for Anime World Order, he recounted how someone stopped him at a con and asked how to beat some section of Mass Effect 2. Guy just assumed Steve Blum knew the game by heart cuz he voiced Grunt

Oh, now it makes sense, Vic was probably able to do all this work because he's a trust fund douchebag in addition to being a chomo.

You hear 'traffic in LA is really bad' but you don't actually know what that's like until you experience it. And even the big names don't get the part they audition for, more often than not. I'm pretty sure the only person who never auditions anymore is Frank Welker and that's because people go to him. (Because he's Frank Welker.)

It's certainly how he was able to live in LA without doing as much work as a Laura Bailey or Travis Willingham. Also probably what helped fund his little Star Trek cosplay vanity project.

I think the disconnect is the hot lesbian girls clearly still like guys as well, but the gay guys aren't gonna want anything to do with a woman so why would they write about gay guys loving??

brutally destroyed by being allowed to work again and being told working for gay anime is "humiliating" while youre given access to all the resources and young women you had before, but this time cuz you voice yaoi. truly the height of embarrassment.

Alan Smithee posted:Uncancel vic Well there was that time in 2007 when he was voicing Fai from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, and refused to sign gay fanart. And I mean, whatever, you don't have to sign things. But then he went on to say that CLAMP [the writers] told him explicitly that Fai was straight. CLAMP. CLAMP is a group of yaoi doujinshi artists who went pro and they have never written a straight man in their collective lives. The cornerstone of their manga empire is gay pining.

Wark Say posted:Wasn't it already confirmed to be Johnny Yong Bosch? Or was that for another role Mignogna previously did? That's Sabo from One Piece. We don't know who's voicing Broly, although JYB would be a great choice there too. Wark Say posted:Yuki Kaji (Eren in Attack on Titan, Todoroki in My Hero Academia, Alibaba in Magi among many more) mentioned that, despite all the roles he gets, he still gets rejected for the majority of auditions he goes to. Like unless you have the role modelled after you/with your voice in mind, which does happen, (Takehito Koyasu, Akira Ishida, Nana Mizuki, Kana Hanazawa, Tomokazu Seki, Tomoyo Kurosawa and Aoi Yuuki all had this occurrence happen), expect a lot of busts in those auditions. Does he just go to every audition for every series that ever opens, regardless of anything? Because I can't think of many recent series where he didn't voice someone, and he still gets rejected in most auditions? Jesus.

I think Tara Strong is one of the few voice actors who's been able to make decent money and that was because she was in almost every single cartoon from the mid 80s onwards, and it also took about the mid-2000s for the cash to really roll in with shows like Fairly Oddparents.

The second part is referring to Ron Toye's deposition, where Ty Beard was incompetent as all hell at getting Ron to verify that pictures of tweets were how-to wanted a yes/no answer, and ron kept on saying 'they appear to be mine' without hard confirming (because that's a good thing to do in a deposition, the opposition could always do something sneaky and change what looks like something you wrote to be a bit different, putting you on the hook if you say it was what you wrote). But regardless, he argues with Ron for a while, and basically winds up ceeding the rest of the time he had to ask Ron anymore questions to go away and sulk, calling to end the deposition something like two hours early.
