They get paid for what they do. Just like most jobs in the world. They actually get paid more than most jobs in the world. Should builders who help build a store get paid more later if the store becomes popular? No, they have done their job and gotten paid for it. This is just actors wanting more for doing nothing.

 

The problem is, the pay itself isn't necessarily very high. The only voice actors who actually make more money than the US average are established veterans who've been doing the job for decades. The average yearly salary for a voice actor in the US is roughly $29,000, while the overall average yearly salary in the us is arond $50,000. So, them getting paid more than most isn't true.

Yeah and thats working a few weeks VS working most of the year though.

If they get paid less, then why arent they getting a regular job instead then? I mean if its all about the money and security? They wont because thats not what they want to do. They want to turn a job you make a few bucks from on the side to one you can make a living from.
