Nintendo, as the publisher, foots the bill, but PlatinumGames may simply submit a budget over that Nintendo then approves/denies.
I fear the message conveyed will be "Oh, people don't want Bayonetta" which is total bullshit, but here we are. My dilemma with boycotting Bayonetta 3 is that it punishes the actors (and everyone else) who worked on the game without actually doing the thing we want it to do: Tell Nintendo/PlatinumGames to treat their actors better. She may be struggling financially, but she'd be struggling with that $4000 so might as well fight the good fight. If you take low-ball offers, that will be the expectation moving forward. Taylor's last credit on IMDB is from 2014. Not sure of the impact on her live action performances on stage and screen. This likely blacklists her from voicing the character ever again and potentially from the voice acting industry as a whole. I support Taylor breaking NDA to shine a spotlight on a problem that has persisted for decades. Nickel and diming gig industry workers is nothing new. Ultimate likely reused Taylor's recordings from For Wii U/3DS. I also don't have enough information regarding whether an entire character, especially the main, can be recorded in 20 hours or less.įrom what I have gathered (which again, may be missing some critical info due to my limited knowledge on the subject), $4000 is insulting for an actress of Taylor's experience and pedigree who had voiced Bayonetta in four games and a movie. I couldn't find any info on whether Taylor is a union actress, but the offered rate appears to be on the low end of the non-union rate. Vocally stressful sessions should be limited to 2-hour sessions.īoth websites above track with the rate mentioned in the article. Video Games Union: $825.50/session (up to 4hr session) Common per session rate you may see is $500 for 1hr max session. Vocally stressful sessions should be limited to 2-hour sessions.
