In 2013 I recorded the lead voice in a videogame I booked off of Voice123.com, and it was a non union job. I had to record the audio, buy the editing software, learn how to edit the audio tracks and convert them, and as a result I asked for a little more money from the producer. It was surprising for me to look back on this memory, because (yay for me!) I was able to self advocate and negotiate a better rate on a fee that was not sufficient.
This episode will be most appreciated by other actors out there who need to hear that YOU CAN ask for more money, especially if you're being underpaid, and you don't have to take a job just because it's offered. Also, I'm a big advocate for actors joining the unions so that their pay rates are secured through mandatory minimum terms and residual guarantees.
