Listen now
Description
Stephanie talks to Rachel Slotky, a voice actor and casting director who works a lot in dubbing. They talk about what dubbing is and some of the current issues surrounding rates and fair pay as well as what she looks for when casting this genre. During the episode Rachel mentions usage and to clarify, in animation contracts initial usage is also known as "initial exhibition" and is included in the session fee, any use or distribution beyond that is handled with residual payments. In the conversation, she uses the term "usage" in reference to anything beyond initial exhibition since it is a term that more listeners may be familiar with working in commercial VO. Most nonunion animation contracts are structured as a full buyout.
