Big time Hollywood stars just love to do some video game voice work for some extra bread. No-name actors love to do the same. And for less money! Take theater actress Jen Taylor, who voices Cortana in Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2. For the first game, she got about US $500 and twice that for the sequel. She adds,

But the technicians had gotten so good at what they were doing. That they got twice the amount of work done in half the time. So my actual pay was about the same.

US $500 to voice one of the most memorable characters in a smash hit video game? That seems rather low. Brian Ashcraft
