I seek to observe GVAA rates to fairly value my efforts, skills and time as a voice talent.

Generally speaking:
Character voice lines: $3
Character session (per hour): $200 minimum
Audiobook: $300 per finished hour
Commercial Narration: $300 minimum 
Other types subject open to negotiation; consistent with the volume of work required and the scope of distribution of final product media.

If you make a project on this site and it somehow gets listed as a 'paid casting call', the expectation is that you SHOULD be paying your voice actors and paying them fairly. Excluding payment to just your other artists and saying to voice actors: “isn’t exposure enough?” comes off as incredibly insulting and disingenuous to the voice acting talent and the craft.

Projects I lend my voice to in the form of audition(s) or ongoing projects, I do so in good faith of the project and of my own volition and benefit.

Unless I consent, my voice CANNOT be used for any purposes regarding the training or modelling of AI for any reasons or purposes commercially or non-commercially. Any client I deal with who breaches contract and betrays this trust will immediately lose my contributions to ongoing projects and be pursued to the full extent of legal jurisdiction and procedure. I keep all of my receipts. 

I know my worth and that I am more than capable of delivering quality or adapting accordingly, and with that I won’t take on projects for free.

I do like and want to support original projects and ideas if I find it interesting and well presented, with a director and hopefully crew that has sound heads on their shoulders rather than chips. Maturity and professionalism are standards I want to hold myself accountable for and I wish to a certain degree that this in kind is reciprocated. I hope to seek out projects that are fairly cast with an eye for quality on the part of the director and not simply cast right away or limited to a singular group of people.
Truthfully, I believe that voice actors should be cast because they are hard working, talented and believable in a role.  Characters are brought to life ultimately defined by their development throughout a given story, not by a single trait or gimmick and as far as I am concerned, tokenism can fall by the wayside.
I stand and prevail on my own diligence and merit as a person and as an actor.

Nothing else matters, no additional pretending or projecting to be made.
I also want to be in projects that actually get finished in a timely manner.

Should I encounter clients or individuals that would seek to make unreasonable demands of myself, be juvenile, immature, unpleasant, prolong inactivity or otherwise be unprofessional to work with, I will cease all correspondence and decline any future works with said parties even if cast. Understand I am free to do so with my time.

If you do contact me pitching your idea/project asking for my contribution, I will respectfully decline it if it is against my convictions, or I otherwise don't resonate with the material. I will not entertain any dialogue with any I suspect to be a scammer. Make wise well written works not widespread wishy-washy woke stuff, there is too much of the latter of recent memory (especially here on CCC), it is contrived and it doesn't sell.

I will not be coerced or shamed into agreeing to something that does nothing for me. Of course you can feel however you want about that or me, at the end of the day if you think there's a problem, know that said problem is yours alone, fact of the matter is I'll still be doing my thing.  
My word is my bond. My talents, a gift. My path is my decision. The status quo can have me in exile yet still I'll be soaring beyond the pile.

Being true to myself, it is only right that I as an actor, be transparent with my goals, manage expectations and not waste any one’s time.

Beyond the aforementioned things, I am after the whole experience in all things Voice Over/Acting both in front of the mic and behind it, fine tuning my skills and understanding as I go. I desire to learn, grow and in time impart wisdom.

My ultimatum is making this a full-time kind of deal, so expect to see me around silently carving my way whether you work with me or not.
