Nice. I'm definitely going to Anime Oasis again next year. It was fun meeting you there! 8D If only I didn't live in Montana...there's hardly anything here.
And dang, you must be a very busy man! D8 How do you keep up with things and are still able to draw? O_o

Well, I did have 19 years of stage acting xp before I auditioned for Krillin. So, yeah, I did earn my chops

Whoa. O_O
|||OTL||| I shouldn't be worthy even speaking to you, oh mighty Sonny Strait. XD I kid, I kid.
I really can respect you in the sense that you actually enjoy your work. Some of the voice actors I know just do it for the cash. :/ Granted I don't think it pays that much, does it? I'd imagine you'd have to have a side job - or perhaps the acting IS the side job.

I don't usually discuss my salary with people but since you are considering going into the field I'll be frank. When I was starting out it was very hard to get anyone to give a straight answer.
Generally it pays $35-$50 an hour for anime. $35 being more of a beginner's rate. When I was Toonami Tom that paid $400 an hour. Video Games usually pay around $500 an hour but usually only one hour is required. And that's the real hitch of the career...getting the hours. If you get lots of work then it pays, obviously, rather well. But it's very feast or famine. Some months you'll totally bank others you make nothing...although it's been a long time since I made nothing. Usually there's some work for those of us who been doing it several years. Luckily for me my other paying job as an artist helps pick up the financial slack in the slow months.
My average yearly income is extremely difficult to quantify. 30K-70k generally. And you don't have any way of knowing what kind of year it's going to be.

Wow, that rant certainly wasn't expected. XD But it's very informative. ^_^
And yes, I see now. I'm definitely going to need back-ups if I consider going into voice acting myself. But hey, money's money, and if you have more than one person raking it in life's good I suppose. Haha~
Thanks so much for explaining. ^^ This is going in my notes about voice acting. 8D (I still remember the others you gave me at Anime Oasis.)

Yes, it is ALWAYS good to have something to fall back on. Personally I don't mind the fluctuating pay rates. I really have few needs other than the one to be creative. Also, if you land big enough roles you get paid to travel. Certainly an awesome way to see the world.

Wow. O_o I didn't know that was part of the deal. What kinds of places have you been to, if you don't mind me asking?
(Haha, we're having 50 conversations at once it feels like. xD Yay for late night/early morning chat~)

And that's really why Frieza killed Krillin eight ways to Sunday first.

Sonion In reply to Caliphos [2010-07-31 19:35:27 +0000 UTC]
Yep, but until he met Krillin, Frieza had never been mutilated before. Out of all the vicious, powerful beings Frieza faced on his journeys, it took a pip-squeek, weak-ass human to actually cause him real damage first. I mean, this was a guy who destroyed planets and KRILLIN cut his tail off?
Krillin's a badass...that's all I'm saying.

Caliphos In reply to Sonion [2010-08-02 18:53:24 +0000 UTC]
Heh, I do like Krillin though; he was definitely awesome in the original Dragonball and not too bad in DBZ. It's a shame that he didn't play more integral parts in the later series though.

Mhm. It's sad seeing the characters that were so popular in the beginning and so interesting, sort of "die off".

Yeah, but it's hard to keep up with people who eventually get so much hair that it can't stay on their heads. No, no, the hair sprouts all over their body. Though, SS3 Goku's hair is just...ridiculous, though, he does lose his eyebrows.

Have mercy, my babydoll is eating Frieza's tail! LOL I couldn't imagine Goku feeling like he wants to throw up over that though. Since his stomach is a black hole I though he'd anything that's edible.
I can only imagine what would be said if we get to do a con panel together one day. When I brought that up, I bet you thought, ''She's knows I'm unpredictable. The question is can my Grasshopper handle what I'd throw at her?'' lol
