It's really is a gig by gig career. It was a huge deal when the Simpsons producers demanded their VAs get full primetime pay.

You can't force someone to respect your choice of "career" any more than you can force them to pay you what you think you deserve.

SIMPsons got away with it because their show was much more popular than fucking Brak lmao.

This should be a warning to all those aspiring voice actors that very few people actually make a living off doing silly voices, even if they worked on some funny stuff. The guy who voiced Brak got chewed up and spit out by Cartoon Network and is now an Amazon delivery driver.

Is that better or worse than where C Martin Crocker is right now?

You really can't get by on voice acting alone. Historically, the first cartoon actors were also radio actors. Some of them were radio DJs. And they did live-action work if possible.
It's an extremely fickle business. A lot of the 80's voice actors I grew up with can't get work and have to do the convention circuit.

It probably also doesn't help that the average cartoon season has become shorter and shorter over the years. You can't really make ends meet with 8 episodes per year.

Unless you’re someone like Michael Bell and can be every cartoon hero plus Raziel from Legacy of Kain.

Is he still active in the industry? G-d bless him. He's got to be around Biden's age by now.

He’s not hitting it as hard as he used to, but he still does the occasional gig. Shame I can’t get a damned youtube link to work, we need some LoK appreciation in here.

We need all the positivity for the inevitable day when we get a gay-ass reboot.
