how much is a voice actors pay in a year?

Answer 1

From the little research I did, it looks like a voice actor's pay depends on how much he or she works and the costs vary from project to project, depending on the budget that the company hiring them has to work with.

Answer 2

There is a minimum for a voice actor's session, which is the time spent in studio, usually 4 hours for a cartoon episode, 2 hours for a radio or television ad. With the episode you get a showing prepayment that enables the producer to show it for four years unlimited, and after that you get residuals based on the number of episodes and the number of sales. For the ad you get residuals every 13 weeks based on the number of airings and the size of the market in which they are shown/aired.

That being said a good voice actor who is in demand, (and there are people around who do only or primarily voice work), can make several million per year based on the amount of work and risiduals.

I suggest you check out imdb.com and search the various cartoon shows to see who gets work. Mark Hamil, and Clancy Brown are just two of many hard working voice actors. Don't forget the burgeoning market in Video Games.

It is a small but lucrative shop.
