Over the last few times, Helena Taylor had boycotted the next chapter of the saga with the fastest gunslinger in the world, Bayonetta 3, stating that she had been offered a dubbing contract for the “insulted and immoral” character. According to her statements, the final offer of Platinum Games had been $ 4000.00. Sources of Bloombergthe well-known financial information newspaper, claim instead that the basic offer for the job was in line with union rules and that the package proposed by Platinum Games was actually $ 15,000.00.
After Bloomberg’s statements, Taylor herself confirmed through a series of Tweets that the quoted figure was in fact correct but that, according to the voice actress, many journalists were trying to discredit her.
It occurred to me that some people call me a liar and a gold digger. I feel the need to defend myself and my reputation in the industry. As I posted in the third part of my video, I explained that their first bid was too low. That offer was $ 10,000 in total. I remind you, this is a $ 450 million franchise (not counting the sales potential of the merchandise). I then wrote to Hideki Kamiya in Japanese, asking how much in my opinion my actual value was in this story.
The actress and voice actress then continued like this:
I thought how creative he would understand. He responded by saying how much he appreciated my contribution to the game and how much the fans wanted me to dub the game. I was then offered an extra five thousand dollars! So, I refused to give my voice to the game.
Taylor then denied rumors that she was starring in a $ 4,000.00 offer for five dubbing sessions:
Any other lie, like $ 4,000 for 5 sessions, is total fabrication. There were no extensive negotiations. I was also informed of ridiculous fictions, such as asking for $ 250,000. I was just asking for a fair and decent salary in line with the value I bring to this game.
The actress was accused of asking for money for signatures on the game or the like from fans: she replied by declaring that yes, it was true but that the money was donated to charity. In conclusion, according to Taylor, her industry is trying to discredit her and accuse her of not being an honest person and she asks not to fall into that trap.
