Recently, Game Informer questioned Helena Taylor’s successor. The director of “Angel Hunt 3” Yusuke Miyata once mentioned that it does not match the actress’s schedule. Stakeholders tweeted to provide her version, an explanation that contradicts a lot. Nintendo and PlatinumGames may be happy to skip a release 10 days after the Switch-exclusive launch.
Disregarding any nondisclosure agreements, Helena Taylor did reveal that she declined to reprise her role as the symbolic witch because she was offered an invitation to episode 3. $4,000 total salary, a judgmental offer”legal but insultingThe actress allegedly contacted PlatinumGames vice president Hideki Kamiya directly with the help of an acquaintance who can write in Japanese.
“In total, I trained as an actor for seven and a half years – three years at the London School of Music and Drama with vocal coach Barbara Berkeley and four and a half years in Los Angeles with the legendary Larry Moss. How much do they think it’s worth? What are they willing to pay me? The final bid to make the entire game was four thousand dollars. It’s an insult to me, the time I’ve spent developing my talent, what I’ve done for this game and for the fans. I ask fans to boycott this game and donate any money you spend on this game to charity. I didn’t ask for the moon. I’m just asking for a decent, decent salary to make ends meet.What they do is legal but immoral“, the actress testified in front of the camera. At the time of writing these lines, her intervention has been viewed more than 9 million times, far more than any trailer for Angel Witch 3.

Apparently moved, Helena Taylor also wished the person who accepted the offer in her place (Jennifer Hale) all the best, but she felt that the actress, known for stationing Commander Shepard in Mass Effect, had no right to claim herself It’s Bayonetta’s voice.”They might try to split with Jenny.don’t buy this either“, Hellena Taylor blurted out.
In support of her demonstration, Helena Taylor also claimed that the Angel Hunt franchise will generate $450 million in revenue,”Not to mention the promotion“, she said. A staggering number, the source of which is unknown, and to be honest, it’s clearly disproportionate to the sales of the Bayonetta games we know. Released on Wii U in 2014 and Switch in 2018, Bayonetta 2, For example, it only recently crossed the million copies mark. And since the first episode also didn’t have much success, there is no account.
However, that’s not all that matters in a story that will continue to feature breaking the law of silence, which clearly displeased Hideki Kamiya, who tweeted “False, sad and pathetic attitudeSeems to be a direct reference to Bayonetta’s previous sound releases. Apparently on the brink and challenged from all sides, the Twitter chain blocker effectively deactivated his account overnight before resurfacing.
Sad and pathetic about the unauthentic attitude. That’s all I can say now.
By the way, beware of my rules.

In addition to the popular support she has shown, Helena Taylor has drawn some reactions in the professional world. Bryan Dechart, best known for playing Conor on “Detroit: Become Human,” explained that he had a similar experience to support his colleagues. “I got the lead character for a AAA game from a studio that did a lot of games. They refused to record the project with SAG-AFTRA [ndr : le syndicat des acteurs aux États-Unis] And offered to pay $4000 for the entire game. I declined, but someone did it and nothing went on…“
For those curious, yes this happened to me
I ordered the protagonist of a AAA game at a studio that made many games.They refused to register the project@sagaftra And offered to pay $4,000 for the entire game. I passed, but others did and didn’t get any reason…

“I think $4,000 to dub the protagonist of the entire game is insane. I’ve worked with union and non-union voice actors for over 20 years and I’ve never heard of a reputable studio with such low numbers.Of course, I don’t know the specifics of this situation, but I’m sure I can say it’s very low“, Added Joshua SawyerFallout veteran and director of Pentiment at Obsidian.
