Re: Future of GoldGun: Production discontinued
Yeah, I would say it's quite unfortunate it had to go on hiatus for now. And I'm not going to suggest a free/no-cost solution someone suggested the r/record this for freesubreddit, and a lot of folks use fiver as it is, admittedly, a budget-friendly solution, but it's a forced budget-friendly solution. I feel, if used right, it can actually yield some pretty good results (the new Brutus actor who also voiced the credits role came from Fiver, and that guy being from the US, he played the part very well (often more sarcastic than manically insane, but still a good result.) Those are the kind of people who will hopefully move on to bigger and better lines of work, as Fiver is generally an insult to the true creators. It's a good starting point, but the fact that you are practically forced to charge $5 and don't even get $5 for your troubles since Fiver takes a cut, leaves a lot to be desired. What I'd like to see is this kind of thing just embedding itself into something like voices.com, where the signup to that site isn't as intimidating as it's made out to be, and there's a low-cost starting point that hobbiests can hop onto. Then, once they've gotten more wide recognition, they don't have to switch platforms and aren't limited to the creator-unfriendly nature of Fiver. On the other end of the spectrum, I've seen Fiver abused before; someone released a station playlist controller/automation machine program that they used on their radio station, and charge a little under 200bucks for it. But it was programmed by, get ready, a person on a freelance community called Fiver, and they only get a one-time payment of 4 bucks from that customer who is now probably happily making off with his own brand new software selling multiple copies for $200 a piece, or something. Is it legal? Yes, but not ethical in the least.
I'll get back on topic in the next post, but my point really is it's hard to find budget-friendly voice acting, but it also can be said that a lot more work could be done to bridge the gap between the budget-friendly community and the pros.
