This woman has been exposed as a total fraud now, basically admitted she lied today, while still claiming she didn't lie. No smart studio will work with her after this for fear of her calling for a boycott of their game if she isn't happy with the pay. What sucks is that her lies hurt the other VA's looking for fair pay relative to other acting professions, as well as Platinum, who was just working within the budget allotted to them by Nintendo.

No other studios work with her anyway.  Her last video game voice acting job that wasn't Bayonetta was for Dragon Age: Origins in 2009.

And that is the part I don't get.  This is a job that is made up of short gigs.  Most voice actors take multiple jobs each year.  Looking at Jennifer Hale's credits, it looks like she does at least 8 jobs a year, and most years quite a bit more than that.

So when Hellena Taylor says, "I was just asking for a fair, living wage in line with the value that I bring to this game," I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.  This isn't a year-long salaried position.  This is a 1 week gig.  And I hate to break it to her, but voice acting is probably the least important part of a game unless it is something like a visual novel.  I am willing to bet a lot of gamers would agree with that opinion.
