"She’s voiced Naomi Hunter in Metal Gear Solid, Electra in Cowboy Bebop: The Movie, Bastila in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Samus Aran in the Metroid Prime Trilogy , more recently Female Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect series. If they’re strong, independent, female characters, you can bet your bottom dollar that Jennifer Hale is the voice behind the curtain." - Author
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
In a recent episode of the podcast "My Perfectly Imperfect Voice Actor," Jennifer Hale opened up about her experience as a voice actress in the video game industry.
Check the contract before signing anything. Research the company and its revenue/profit when it comes to games. Learn about the developer/producer that was/is known to make hit games that sell and how much voice actors were paid for their services. If you want more, ask.
I'd bet the Mario voice actor made bank during his time as the character, probably read the contract with his lawyer and made money on appearances.
It is rather low for what the game made. But she accepted the offer. Nothing else to be said.
Those were different times. And like the article says, they didn't know Metal Gear Solid would become a huge success.
Even so, the voice acting in MGS1 is one of the best out there.
But that was a time when dev costs and pay were low, especially with the game industry.
What was the average for salaries and wages back then?
Kinda odd that you accept the offer and complain later that the pay was low. That's on you.
