Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
Bloomberg published a report today on the controversy surrounding the Bayonetta 3 voice acting situation and claims to have details about negotiations between PlatinumGames and Hellena Taylor.
The outlet, having spoken with multiple sources, has heard and saw documents that Platinum offered Taylor between $3,000 and $4,000 per session. At least five sessions were apparently planned. Bloomberg further reports that Taylor asked for a six-figure fee and residuals, and that’s where negotiations fell apart. After that, Platinum sought a new voice actress and eventually hired Jennifer Hale. According to Bloomberg, Taylor was later offered a cameo and would have been paid for a single session, but that did not progress.

Jennifer Hale, the new voice of Bayonetta, has issued a statement on Bayonetta 3 in light of the controversial voice acting situation that became a prominent topic over the weekend.
Although she’s under an NDA – meaning what she can say is limited – Hale made it clear in stating she’s in support of “every actor’s right to be paid well”. Additionally, rather than going after PlatinumGames or specific people, she mentioned how Bayonetta 3 “has been created by an entire team of hard-working, dedicated people and I hope everyone will keep an open mind about what they’ve created.” Hale ultimately hopes for people to “resolve their differences in an amicable and respectful way.”
