They're the lowest paid of all actors, despite the fact that many of them are very talented. Well, maybe extras for tv and film are lower paid, but what they do can hardly be called acting. I see some arguing that publishers screw over developers even more than voice actors, and while that may be true, that's a seperate battle for the developers to fight, it has no effect on this battle whatsoever. |
They're the lowest paid of all actors because it's lowest tier of quality and qualification (although I'd bet they make more than stage actors which is a joke in of itself). Some of them are talented, but it doesn't change the fact that industry is not very competitive and doesn't have a ton of leverage when you only have a few worthwhile voice actors.
Edit: Lot of discussion about devs vs voice actors. While it is a different fight between devs and publishers, it's very relevant. They're fighting for the same dollar. More money to voice actors = less money to developers. This is fact.
