Why are we hiring youtubers?
Can't believe you guys are hiring youtubers to voice characters. Thought Larian was an AAA company. Get PhilosopyTube out of the game plz, this is a serious game. What's next, MrBeast?

The whole EU in fact. People here thinking everywhere is like the USA or something.
Which is funny, considering SAG-AFTRA is on strike over pay conditions and residuals.
Did you see their pics of what they're getting? 20 cent residuals. And people wonder why the strike.

I for one am sick of Ashley Burch and Troy Baker voicing everything. Let's bring in more talent.

personally I highly dislike cooh so his cameos in games (cyberpunk) annoy me a little

I sort of get it - name recognition helps with PR and I m probably a little jelaous too - sure must be nice to be asked - but in cyberpunk the writing of the cameo quests was - questionable - which is probably what u get when u give a random you tuber with zero affinity for story telling too much say in the quest design - fan fic level

no reason to lose you s*** though imo - afaik you can even spartan kick the cooh character down a cliff as soon as you meet himm, soo -.-

Because make pennys on YT so most have to look into side, or even main jobs on top of their channel.

Historically many folks who get into YouTube are freelancers who have some professional AV experience in their lives and so circulate back(if they ever left) to their industry in form of stuff like being camera operators, editors, voice actors etc.

This in turn leads to a fair bit of YouTubers who do regular voice acting work, anything from anime to advertising especially given they can put “entertain thousands to millions on regular basis with YouTube channel” on their resumes.

Over time with this process called networking, and especially with high amount of cross over with YT and the gaming industry in general some of these folks are contacted by other folks whose job it is to acquire, and sign talent for roles they have to fill for w/e project it is they’re are working on, inevitably and these days especially, a lot of these hires end up being fairly to very well know YTers.

Another example of this is Mike Stoklasa from Red Letter Media is voice of the the one of the guns in that game made by the Rick and morty guy. Odds are you will find more games than not that have at least one of these smaller roles in a game filled out by a YTer, even if it’s not really advertised because again; they are people who work in entertainment that typically have some kind of in, or experience in the voice acting business.

Yes I’m bored right now and well aware this is likely some troll thread, but bro did ask. Edited cos Apple auto correct on my phone is just awful.

Right? I also love them, but honestly... too many games are playing it safe with them.

Just for the record, CohhCarnage has done voice acting in the past. He's done Cyberpunk, Solasta and Like a Dragon Ishin

I think all the writers and whatnot doing this, as in taking photos of the residual checks and posting them, are making the issue worse. Yes, the residuals are low, they always have been for many industries, look at book and magazine writers. But they are framing it as if they are not being paid for their work. "Oh, I wrote one of the best episodes but only got a few hundred in residuals." But they WERE paid for the work initially. Residuals are a continuous payment based on how much of it is still being consumed. A person can get residuals for decades.

If the residuals are too low, you demand more upfront payment. That is the risk in the creative industry. For example, lets say you write a book. You are given $50,000 for the novel with a $0.50 per unit residual. If you believe the book will sell really well you can renegotiate to $1.00 per unit but the publication house will lower the advance given.

One of the large issues, that I agree with, is that the studios should be forced to show how many actual viewers or consumers there are for that episode of a streamed show and if the show was watched 50% or 100%. This way people are ensured they are paid the correct amount instead of going by the studio or distribution houses' "best estimates."

If they can voice act, who cares.
They can't voice act. They're youtubers not voice actors.
not mutually exclusive... There are some professional voice actors who have successful youtube channels.

No-one is limited to a single thing, you are not simply a youtuber or a voice actor, or a dumbass making a post on steam. you are allowed to do multiple things with your life.

I think the point that many people here miss is, that such cameo-recordings are beeing made by / inside professional sound studios. They know that they aren't working with real voice-acting professionals and therefore help and assist them with their performance. They also have much, muuuch better equipment than prob. 99% of the youtubers / twitch content creators and also put a lot of more effort into the editing and mastering of the recordings.

The cameo-actors also have to act as a certain role / character, which also really limits the amount of their own personality, that they can include.

The result is usually nearly unrecognizeable from any other final voice acting in a game (if done well ofc :P ).

I think the cameos in Cyberpunk are a really good example. You should look them up. I didn't knew about most of them during my playthrough and realized (in a yt video) later on, that some of the sidequest-characters (which I have seen / interacted with) have been spoken by content-creators, of which some of I frequently watch and others even dislike (to a degree at least).

I'm quite sure that cameos in BG3 will have the same quality.

TL;DR
Even if an act turns out to be "bad" or something: There are so many different good voice-acts in BG3, that you won't notice it anyway.
