Apparently they offered her up to $20k and not $4k ... Something ain't right here.

Looks like it was $4k per session and 5 sessions in total... that completely changes the narrative.

Not for me, I already had no sympathy for her. The moment she threw Jennifer Hale under the bus that went out the window; not because it was Jennifer Hale in particular, any fellow voice actor would be the same.

Shame Schreier doesn't just leak the documents he's seen. Still not really seeing how she threw Hale under the bus, other than some snark to her.

Well...

Quote

 

In her videos, Taylor mentioned Jennifer Hale, the prolific voice actor who took over the role of Bayonetta in the new game. “I wish her all the joy in the world, I wish her all the jobs, but she has no right to say she is the voice of Bayonetta,” Taylor said. “I created that voice. She has no right to sign merchandise as Bayonetta.”

Hale faced some vicious online harassment as a result.

Hale would get flamed regardless, really.  Gamers are subhuman trash and people knew who the new voice actor is. I think Schreier's reaching there to imply Taylor somehow incited it all.  But oh well, consensus does seem to be that Taylor's victimizing Hale.

She knows how to deal with poles.

She's actually pretty funny on Twitch and such I hear.

Well, I didn't read about any of that. Only the 4k payment. :p

Also had no clue who Jennifer Hale is. Never played Fem Shepard.

I did one play through as female Shepard, but for me the name is always synonymous with Mazzy Fentan.

Im shocked how few people on this thread dont  seem to know all these  female voice actors?

This is a  very gender equality supportive forum and you guys should know  all these voice actors, I think its time for a few more classes at the " ending white, male privilege " school ? 

I always attend classes 1-2 a year :teehee:

I do not remember the names, but I remember their voices. So I always find it strange, if the same voice actor is voicing completely different character in completely different game 😛This is for me prevalent especially in Japanese games :)

I am sure you heard her on multiple occasions though. She did a lot of work over the years - once you recognise her voice once, it actually becomes really annoying.

I would want rate like that. And I have to bring 20k in equipment to each session.

Mob justice is idiotic, as all we have is hearsay from each side. Either way, I don't get what she wanted to achieve with the video, unless she has been harrased for not doing the role and wanted to deflect the blame somewhere else.

I always played male Shepard on my first playthrough and did FemShep for my second... For the first two games, I never replayed ME3 because, Jesus Christ, why would I do that to myself? Once was painful enough.

I came to the series late, played ME2 first and did so as Female Shepard simply because that's what I always do on the first run of any RPG. Nothing to do with the reputation of the voicework and I'm not sure I was aware of the Male Shep voice memes at the time. I then played ME1 as Male Shep to mix things up. Eventually I did export him to ME2 and played the game again, though I can't recall whether I actually ever finished that run.

I either exported my original Shep or recreated her from scratch in ME3 (can't remember if I'd still have had the saves), but I rage quit that game very early on (I believe it was when the second dream sequence occurred) and have not returned to the series since.

I don't remember anything notable whatsoever about Ms Grey's performance in Saints' Row 3. I would have used the default female voice there, pretty sure. Like ME3, SR4 is a game I'd like to forget.

Instead of the old "appeal to authority" fallacy, I'm thinking we should come up with a new one called "appeal to social media", where we are all immediately skeptical of anything that starts with someone throwing a hissy fit on social media. It's hard to believe, but some people just lie on the internet - imagine that, lying on the internet: how uncouth!

I'm sure she has the offer in writing somewhere...kind of up to her to prove she wasn't lying. But honestly, I sometimes underestimate how dumb some people can be in assuming that someone's not going to flat-out lie about these sorts of things when it can easily be proven one way or the other. If you go on social media to drag someone or a company through the mud and you're straight up not telling the truth, surely it can't be a surprise when whomever you maligned punches back. Story quotes her as saying Platinum is lying but "I would like to put this whole bloody franchise behind me quite frankly get on with my life in the theatre"; sure sounds like an "ight imma head out" kind of statement to me. This also now makes a lot more sense why Jennifer Hale was hired...hire an actual professional when the old talent goes crazy, huh?

Hey, speak for yourself: her voice is always a joy every time I hear and recognize it, :p.

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
