Your not going to get a well paid voice acting job period unless your already a major actor or actress working on a big motion picture. Voice actors make peanuts. According to SAG, your likely only going to earn $760 for a single 4 hour session. Even big names in the business usually don't crack $60k a year.
Compare this to a celebrity, who can easily pull 5 figures for a single session.
This is part of the reason why major voice actors tend to do conventions ALL. THE. TIME. Appearance fees and merchandise are how they supplement their income between jobs.
Not entirely true, but true enough.
The really top end name voice actors do pretty well for themselves (not counting the Simpsons cast, who do more than alright) though without the need for conventions.
I think the Simpsons cast is a real outlier in this. They really aren't interested in doing the show anymore and they keep asking for shit tons of money to keep doing it. Fox always gives it to them because The Simpsons is the lynchpin of their Sunday line-up and makes them SO MUCH MONEY through syndication and merchandise. They also can't be replaced at this point... the Simpsons is going to be on the air until the day someone on the cast dies.
The major Disney players are in the same boat: You can't change Mickey's voice unless the voice actor is dead, so he's going to make tons of money. Same with the rest of the major Disney roles.

I can't agree with this statement, as they all are working on other projects besides The Simpsons. They are all incredibly talented actors. It's why the series has done as well at it has. Dan Castellaneta does like half of the cast of the Simpsons. But when he's not doing that you'll probably hear him playing the Genie on reruns of Disney's Alladin the series. Recently he'll do the occasional game or movie/show live appearance.
That is fucking awesome.
I..... never played the original

Neither did I.
Did they? I didn't notice. Good catch.
One thing I did catch is that on the back of one of the Duck Tales DVD volumes there is an image from the movie. In fact most of the pictures they use don't correspond with the episodes on the DVDs. Just goes to show you what happens when you have someone who doesn't give a shit design your packaging.
"Ducktales? What the shit is this? Why couldn't I get asked to design a cover for a good 80s show like Small Wonder? Idiots. I think I'll just google for images."
To those who missed out on this on NES, if you get a way to play it, I'd also recommend digging up Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers, and Darkwing Duck. NES Disney games were pretty solid.
I thought Darkwing Duck was pretty terrible.
I must be thinking of a different game entirely, because that doesn't sound anything like what I was thinking of. Was there a Gensis or SNES version?

Unless of course you consider Episode 64. Ducky Horror Picture Show.
I don't think the dialogue was necessary for the game. But whatevs. Looks like great gameplay.[DOUBLEPOST=1364340845][/DOUBLEPOST]Darkwing Duck was pretty much coded as a Mega-Man game. I believe it may have even been one in early development.
Not saying that's bad.
You stick with the forumlas that work.

What? Wizards of Waverly Place doesn't do it for you?
