So the scheduling conflicts line was bull, they just didn't want to pay Bayo's English VA

Feeling like there's way more to this, not that I don't believe her.

What would one expect to be paid for, for a main VA role like that?
Cause it's def not $4,000.

Still Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. Currently getting unreasonably mad at the Machine Tower area. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck the flying medusa heads. Do people who regularly play Metroidvanias actually like these bits of "precision platforming while in a room filled with mosquitos" gameplay, or is it just part of the deal?

the other games took her 16 hours over the course of four days, so if it the same amount of dialog $4000 would the bare minimum as a union actor. pretty insulting

Without giving exact numbers, rope kid said that's an incredible lowball for a protagonist VA compared to any project he's been on. I saw another tweet that the VA for a 90 second trailer was paid 1000

Hale might have taken the low offer because she's more prolific and has a lot of roles to fall back on.

There's the old wisdom that even if you're a big name voice actor, you usually take the work that you can get, which might just be perpetuating a cycle of exploitation.

I guess something that factors into it is if they considered the English VA a secondary localization expense as opposed to the main Japanese track. I wonder how much FIGS localized voice acting gets paid for AAA American games

Which is especially weird because Bayonetta didn't even have Japanese voice-over until the anime adaptation.

Also drat, it even made TMZ

Plus she gets no royalties. That is the most insulting part of the whole thing, especially for a series that has made nearly $500 million in profit.

previous VA probably had right of first offer for sequels in her contract, platinum decided it wanted to change actresses (who knows why) so it only offered a low bid expecting to be rejected.

when they give a VA an insultingly low offer like that and then replace her with a union actor when union rates are gonna be significantly above that, it shows something was going on besides just money.
who knows what kind of behind the scenes drama caused that though.

According to other actors I've seen, they were actually offering union rates, just the absolute bare minimum.
