Thread: Well I hope this clears up soon.

I think it is a much under appreciated occupation for sure.

Stunt pay for voiceover?

Sometimes actors are required to go into mocap and actually act out scenes and some of those may include stunts or hazards. I know it sounds stupid but even with the simplest of stunts you can still get you hurt. I remember reading an article about how a star of Star Trek: The Next Generation broke a tailbone after doing a small fall to the ground after being "struck" by lightning.

Good thing the actor didn't have to beat up a defenseless lizard.

But.....They are not actors. They are talkers. It would be like getting hurt doing radio. If they are being made to act anything out, I am willing to bet that the production company is well insured (as any employer would have to be on a remote job site) (remote meaning anywhere but a studio in front of a microphone). Hurt isn't an issue, it's the added finger-lifting they want to be compensated for. It seems to me they should negotiate that into their own contracts (at least I would want to), rather than come up with a generic price for "stunts" (whatever that would entail) which are anything but generic.

As for The Star Track ( ) guy, I'm sure the production company was insured, and I'm sure he got his buttbone fixed. I also bet that hurt like a mofo for a few days.

Hmm...time to try and make it in voice acting?
