https://www.ign.com/articles/bayonetta-voice-actor-reportedly-offered-at-least-15000-for-role-contrary-to-claims

New evidence has emerged that Bayonetta voice actor Hellena Taylor was offered at least $15,000 to reprise her role in the forthcoming sequel, contrary to her claims that she was only offered $4,000 to play the lead.
A new report by Bloomberg, which has since been corroborated by VGC, cites documentation as well as two people familiar with the negotiations who say that Platinum attempted to hire Taylor for five sessions lasting four hours apiece, each of which would have between $3,000 and $4,000. According to VGC, this would have been a "significant increase" on Taylor's fee from the second game.

$16,000+ for 16 hours of work, so $1000 an hour

Literally 2-4 days for $16k, the real value of Bayonetta is the artists/designers/animators, not the voice lmao

Is it though? She's not exactly a big name. Her "big role" is literally just Bayonetta, she has next to nothing besides that. Look at her credits in the 8 years between 2 and 3.

The best part is that she demanded at least a 6 figures salary, and an unknown sum for every sold copy of the game.

Her VA credits are literally only Bayonetta and this is a franchise that barely sold 2m copies in over a decade, with the sequel selling less copies than the original.

$15-20k was more than fair and significantly higher than the average industry rate.

Her contributions to the character and success of the franchise are extremely low. Hell, NOBODY noticed the change in VA until she literally said it herself.

That's actually incorrect. People noticed that something was off about her voice in the first B3 trailer right away.

What career? Her imdb barely has anything in it recently. Does she have anything to lose?

Potential future gains.

Before, people would look up her name and see she voiced Bayo. Now, they're going to see this.

Not as important as the development of the game itself.

Even if she were highly prolific, this is one of the worst franchises to be demanding 6 figures from. Bayo 2 was initially canceled, only to be saved and released on the Wii U, Ninty's worst performing console. Sure, she was in Smash Bros, but that doesn't guarantee a series' continued existence as noted by the Fire Emblem series nearly being retired before it was saved by Awakening.

Just to add to this, apparently the "$4000" offer was for a Cameo in the game for one session of voice work AFTER she turned down the inital offer for the main role.

Which putting aside whether or not the intial offer was good pay, is actually a nice gesture. That was just pure fanservice.

It sounds like she wanted out, what with her having nothing in the VA career for years.
