Online casting sites have been taking advantage of voice actors for years. How do we respond? By continuing to fork over membership fees. These same casting sites are only getting worse in their practices. Part of me feels like they're just testing the boundaries. "How much can we get away with before the voice actors catch on and take action?" Well, apparently they can get away with a lot! From extortion level commissions to punishing algorithms to terms of use asking for everything but your first born child, the only thing that stays the same is the membership fees keep getting paid and voice actors keep letting sites get away with it. So who's to blame? The online casting sites? Or the voice actors themselves?
