"As I posted on part three of my video thread. I explained that their first offer was too low. That offer was 10,000 dollars total. Remember, this is 450 million dollar franchise, . I then wrote in Japanese to Hideki Kamiya, asking for what I was worth. I thought that as a creative, he would understand. He replied saying how much he valued my contribution to the game and how much the fans wanted me to voice the game.
"So, I declined to voice the game. I then heard nothing from them for 11 months. They then offered me a flat fee to voice some lines for 4,000 dollars. Any other lies, such as 4,000 for five sessions are total fabrications. "There were not 'extensive negotiations'. I've also been informed of ridiculous fictions, such as I asked for 250,000 dollars. I am a team player. I was just asking for a fair, living wage in line with the value that I bring to this game.
"I was paid a shockingly low total of £3000 total for the first game. A little more for the second. I wanted to voice her. I have drummed up interest in this game ever since I started on Twitter in 2011." Voice actress Jennifer Hale will voice the character in Bayonetta 3. She released a statement noting she's under NDA so cannot discuss the situation, but she asked that"everyone keep in mind that this game has been created by an entire team of hard-working, dedicated people and I hope everyone will keep an open mind about what they've created".
So many people seem happy to commit career suicide by dumping their professional shenanigans online.
yikes...
She, nobody else, has ruined her career in the industry. If you lie and omit details when levying serious accusations, it's a strong case for why you shouldn't be trusted.
Last thing I saw, she was exposed as having lied about her compensation, and she also left out that she hasn't worked in over a decade. Someone who lies and omits while levying serious accusations shouldn't be trusted.
This got old real quick. The bitterness is insane. You lost the job so move the fuck on...
Man Jason Schreier destroy Hellena Taylor can we Stop talking to this? She needs Publicity, all of her tweets was a LIE and she knew it its ok its over and now i cant wait For friday and to Play Bayonetta 3!
Best to know your talents worth. Understand negotiating, but shares also generate money, if you desire larger slice of the video game money pie. Perhaps, Hellena should request shares. Game devs still have a limited budget per game so try to understand V.O is but one puzzle piece
I don't care. So over this. She decided to go public and I think it makes her look even worse now.
Give it up!
Do yourself a favour love and just stop 👍🏻
just stop... its never too late
She omitted the initial offers, has pulled a valuation out of thin air and doubled down on boycotting everyone else’s hard work because she is mad. Hard to stay sympathetic toward her…
Hellena, do yourself a favor and stop posting.
I agreed with her at first but it already irked me that she said she trained under some important person and therefore should get more. Then when she blatantly lied about it she lost all my respect.
Curious to know where does the $450m valuation come from. The game never set the charts on fire...
