I am a Data Scientist (my literal title is Software Engineer II, but my role is that of a Data Scientist) who makes what she was offered in about three weeks (fewer than three-weeks if you include my employment benefits as compensation since I am not an independent contractor.) I wouldn't trade my situation with hers and I doubt most other software developers would. Even game developers who are typically overworked and underpaid compared to other software developers likely wouldn't. Voice-acting seems like high intensity work when it is happening. Very rarely do I experience that level of intensity (maybe three hours a week when I am presenting insights to account managers.) $250 /hr might seem high, but remember independent contractors have to pay both sides of payroll taxes in most countries whereas employees usually only pay half, they don't get employer contributions to a pension plan, in the U.S in particular they don't get health-care, etc.
