Honestly, I don’t think voice acting is the same thing as actually performing on stage on film, but even if it were… actors don’t generally make $800 an hour. As I said, actors at theater companies make a mean of $20 an hour… across the industry, actors as a whole make a mean average of around $30 a hour.
That’s why the idea that voice actors would be worth so much more seems silly to me.
Maybe they could find more work if they didn’t charge $800 an hour.
But presumably, that’s not actually the average wage, right? Because looking up averages for the industry, it puts the average way lower than that.
At some point, we can look at this strike, and see what the impact was… So, they went on strike, and it had… zero impact? Did it screw up any games? Was there any impact on anything at all? I think that’s why the voice actors didn’t end up getting what they wanted… because it turns out, they don’t really have that much leverage.
