Well… except that the Don stuff was 20+ years ago, and a totally different category of voiceover altogether.
Income for actors has dropped, less than 5% of those who claim to be an actor actually do it full-time (high-risk profession), and those that are full time make on average (in Los Angeles) somewhere between $50k to $100k. After that, it’s celeb status for the most part.
Also, VO actors have to do anything and everything to keep income up now. We don’t say “no” to stuff anymore.
Very good points WizarDru.
Just want to add that SAG-AFTRA isn’t even asking for residuals, but rather a profit sharing system, where the actors get a couple hundred extra bucks when the game sells something like it’s first 2-million copies, and more bonuses with millions more copies. They should do the same for all those who built the game.
