SAG increases Voice Actor Wages

If you work with voice actors in the video game production industry, you've likely noticed a few changes.

Recently, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) raised the wages for SAG voice actors recording for video games.

"In addition to higher pay, SAG had demanded residuals for successful games -- not unlike the payments actors receive for television shows. The union didn't get residuals, but it did raise the minimum wage to $759 for a four-hour voice-over stint. It also got increases in required contributions to the union's benefits plan in a contract running through 2008."
