Mesh, I joined the discord server and checked out the project. It appears that you are paying every role except for voice actors. And there is a post on there stating that you want “the best of the best” voice actors. That honestly is a joke to a professional voice actor. You cannot possibly want the best VAs and expect them to work for free. I’m sure you will get interest from hopefuls thinking that this will “give them exposure”. I have exposure already. Exposure doesn’t get me much as far as the grocery store is concerned. My electric company doesn’t seem to give a flip that I’m voicing on commercials, animated national children’s shows, or my audiobooks. They still want to be paid. VAs also deserve to be paid for their work. That being said, if you do decide to pay your actors, pay them industry standards rates as well. The best of the best have invested in training, equipment, and put a lot of time, effort, and money into honing their craft. We didn’t do that to give away our talents for free to everyone else on a project will make $$$ while the “life” of the project gets nothing. Quite insulting really. Thanks but no thanks. If something changes on the project and you decide to pay proper rates for the roles, then ping me again and I’ll apply. You’ll get way more quality actors and auditions then too. Even if I’m not selected, you would still get higher quality applicants and will truly get the best of the best.

Thanks for letting me know. Very unprofessional indeed.
