Please support the talents bringing your favorite characters to life. Master Chief, Cortana, Cayde, Commander Shepard & Sarah Palmer (Both Jennifer Hale)... Go sign the petition, or help pass on what this is about. If you're a gamer, this should matter to you in some way ;) Video games have become an art form in more ways than one. Voice acting can make or break a game. Voice acting is very different than acting on the big or small screens. Remember "That wizard came from the Moon"? If you want to know more about why SAG-AFTRA Members declared a video game strike, and which corporation/publishers will be affected, go here: [url]https://www.sagaftra.org/files/whywestrike.pdf[/url] [url]https://www.sagaftra.org/sag-aftra-members-declare-video-game-strike[/url] If you're too lazy to read, companies/corporations employing voice actors are trying to justify low pay, benefits and poor treatment on the job, as well as no contingent compensation (read below). [quote] Contingent Compensation Unlike many other SAG-AFTRA contracts, there is currently NOT a contingent compensation structure on any video games. We’re asking for a reasonable performance bonus for every 2 million copies, or downloads sold, or 2 million unique subscribers to online-only games, with a cap at 8 million units/subscribers. That shakes out, potentially, to FOUR session payments per principal performer for the most successful games: 2 million, 4 million, 6 million and 8 million copies.[/quote] Those corporation employing voice actors claim it is a minimal percentage of creating a video game, therefore, actors don't deserve any residual... [b]You can listen to a summary of the issues at stake in a recent Jennifer Hale interview here, she explains it all very well:[/b] [url]http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/10/22/498954253/voice-actors-strike-against-video-game-companies[/url] Fun fact, Lord Saladin (Keith Ferguson) was also Bloo, for you old enough to remember Foster's House for Imaginary Friends... Now that's range ;) Who is your favorite voice in video games?
