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.

You can easily recognize her voice. While not as limited as Steve Blum, she doesn't change that much.

I don't remember anything notable whatsoever about Ms Grey's performance in Saints' Row 3

To be fair, there's nothing notable about the entire game 😛

Tim Curry and Biff are the only video game actors I know. 

I wonder how much the voice actors for the Elex series make? 

Back to the Bayonetta lady, I don't think the statement was meant to throw anyone under a bus. She seems to be saying that she created an iconic voice for the character, and anyone coming in to replace her is simply doing an impression of her work. I have no idea how accurate that is since I don't play the games. Would we be upset if James Earl Jones was replaced by a decent impressionist? 

Also, $15-20k sounds a lot more reasonable for the work, but I'm not sure how believable the company response is. It definitely spices up the drama though. :p

I'm not familiar with that character, but it sure looks like someone that she would voice. She'll probably always be Fall-from-Grace to me.

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.

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

To be fair, I only knew Sasha Grey because I actually googled her (note for self, do not do that during work hours), after the name came up in a Nanowar of Steel song (Valhalleluja) where she got compared unfavourably to Knisa Light Grey. The whole thing was so bizarre I had to look up both names 😂

 

I did remember Jennifer Hale and David Warner from Baldurs Gate 2 though as the more memorable voices (probably the only two VA names I remember without prodding). I'm not counting Ron Perlman for his intro to Fallout, as he didn't voice a character.

Yeah... Yeah... *awkward laugh* That's, that's also how I know about Sasha Grey. I definitely had not seen any videos with her before she was just brought up. No siree Bob.:shifty:

Edit: My source of knowledge for Sasha Grey 😎

Edit2: Not that I haven't watched the odd xxx rated movie over the years, no reason to be shy about that (when VHS was a thing), but she is too recent I think. Unless she was active in the adult movie industry 25+ years ago.

After you mentioned Sasha Grey I immediately looked her up  and she has had a very interesting career and done lots of different types of jobs 

As I mentioned several times I have no issue with the normal, regulated Porn industry. Its just fantasy and provides revenue streams for actors

But she has  done lots of things apart from that. She is really hot as well 💞

ZA/UM drama continues with ex-Disco Elysium dev suing ZA/UM for not quite clear reasons, possibly in attempt to regain rights to the IP as it was set DE in the same world as his book and table top campaign that predates disco and ZA/UM itself.

Sounds good to me. It's painful if someone takes your brainchild away. That said, kinda sucks that his book isn't available in english.

It looks like she confirmed the $15k offer, which blows her credibility out of the water. Ouch. 🙄

Her initial statement after the 15k for the entire game and then 4k per day numbers came out was basically...no, actually, I'll just quote her: "I would like to put this whole bloody franchise behind me quite frankly". I said it when Platinum's response initially came out, but such a weak "I'm gonna peace out now" statement is really just not ever what you want to go with when what you previously said was incredibly vociferous - not if you weren't lying, anyways.

I'm over the whole voice acting kerfuffle. I wish Helena Taylor and Jennifer Hale luck in their future endeavors (endeavours for our British forumites) and I'm going to be playing Bayonetta 3 on Friday, assuming my copy gets delivered on time.
