Games That Lost Key Voice Actors Over Payment Disputes

Hellena Taylor, who originally voiced the main character, didn’t reprise her role in this new game developed by PlatinumGames and published by Nintendo. The reason became public when Taylor stated she was offered only $4,000 – a flat fee for all her voice work in the game, which she considered unacceptable. Jennifer Hale was then cast in the role, and the developers gave several reasons for the change. This situation sparked a large discussion within the gaming industry about how much experienced voice actors should be paid for their work on major sequels.
