I had an experience with Motion Capture and voice acting and have to say even though gaming industry is a colossus these days, voice over actors and mo cap performers are not fully considered 'equal' talent as traditional actors. What's really interesting right now is that the mainstream, 'regular' actors demand royalties for their digital likeness when it's used on new projects they are not technically involved with. Something MoCap actors could relate to...I guess the movie studios figured that their 'creative accounting' and sometimes cruel contracts/ NDA's would go unnoticed into this new era of streaming. They were wrong, preparation is everything and they were completely ill prepared for this new platform of entertainment. PS. You almost saw me as Leon in the new Resident Evil games :)

[@ernieforrest7218]

Well maybe they are going backwards due to reasons other than the wages they earn. Like just maybe the choices they make for people who run the governments. How much have gas prices increased for example in the last year or so? Has any of their other living expenses increased as well? Yet given a choice to vote again today, would they change their vote? Life is all about choices, and somebody else cant be expected to be paying for our bad ones. Including the places we choose to live and the the professions we choose.
