The actress who voiced the heroine in the first two chapters of the saga urged fans not to buy the new one. The reason? She would only have offered her $ 4,000 …
Bayonetta 3 will launch shortly, but the original voice actress is asking fans to boycott it, after revealing the reason it won’t be in the new chapter. Voice actor Hellena Taylor has starred as the witch of Umbra since the release of the original title in 2009. This also includes lines from Bayonetta in other video games, including Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. However, the voice actress has been replaced for the third installment of the series, which fans have been waiting to play for eight years.
The accusation of the voice actress –
On Twitter, Taylor revealed that developer Platinum just offered her $ 4,000 to reprise the role. SAG-AFTRA, the actors ‘association that also covers voice actors in the United States, has compiled a list of minimum wages it deems correct for actors’ work. The recommended minimum for a day of work, around four hours in the studio, is $ 1,000. The first Bayonetta took only four days to record, but the sequel has a lot more lines and presumably took longer to ‘record’. Platinum said Bayonetta 3 will be the longest chapter, meaning the pay should have been higher than the offer Taylor claims he received. Taylor has been replaced by Jennifer Hale, one of the most prolific and best-paid actresses in the industry. We don’t know how much Hale was proposed for the role of her, but it would be unusual for her to accept an offer like the one made to Taylor.
Hideki Kamiya’s answer –
Bayonetta 3 executive director Hideki Kamiya responded in a tweet to the voice actress’s videos, explaining that “the attitude of the fake is sad and deplorable. This is all I can say now ”. “Anyway, pay attention to my rules!”, He added. The last part of the tweet refers to the habits of the Japanese, which blocks fans from repeating questions on Twitter or not interacting with him in a polite manner. While he claims Taylor’s words are not true, Kamiya has not yet made it clear which parts of Taylor’s statements are incorrect.
