Bloomberg is paywalled, so here is another source.

I'm actually a little worried that the amount she said she was getting paid in total and this new report that the 3k to 4k figure was actually a per session figure is the same number. Was there a misunderstanding on her end? A translation issue? Could all this been avoided?

According to people with knowledge of the situation, as well as documentation reviewed by both Bloomberg and VGC, Platinum intended to rehire Taylor last summer.

It’s claimed that Platinum sought to hire Taylor for “at least” five sessions (VGC’s sources suggested it could have been as few as four), with each paying $3,000 to $4,000 for four hours in the studio.

This would have brought Taylor’s total fee to $15,000, Bloomberg reports, as VGC can corroborate via our own sources. One person with knowledge of the deal claimed to VGC this represented a significant increase on Taylor’s fee for the second game.

This changes so much about the situation.

According to Bloomberg, the voice actor responded by asking for a six-figure sum as well as residuals on the game – a claim Taylor strongly denies. VGC sources echoed the residuals claim, but did not mention a requested sum.

Residuals for a voice actor in a video game?  No way.  Developers would need to get residuals first.  Then we can talk voice actors.
