If you were voice actor, which dubbing company would you want to work for?

You really are obsessed with voice actors. Regardless, it's impossible to answer that, since voice actors have many different angles to consider before making a major career choice. Voice actors don't work for dubbing companies. They are hired on a project by project basis.

Also, 4KiRAB haven't been dubbing much of anything lately, so I wouldn't really bet on them.
 
I don't think 4kiRAB pays the most, I think a union dub in LA would the most, technically Disney pays the most, but I'm not counting them. But if you like NYC, 4kiRAB may be the best choice for you, but they don't even dub much anime nowadays.



Voice acting is fun vocation to think about.

Anyway when I'm talking about working for companies I'm talking about where you would to voice act, if you wanted to work fro Funi you would have to live Texas, for the most part and if you moved to LA, you likely work for Viz. You have consider not only the company, but the location swell.
 
After reading the post he made after yours, I'd say he appears to be specifically obsessed with union dubs in LA.

There's a difference between working for Funi and voice acting for Funi. Some do both, like Mike McFarland, but if you just do voices for them, it's still freelance. However, if you lived in Texas, now that ADV is no longer dubbing their shows, Funi would be the only dubbing you'd be doing. If you lived in LA, you'd be freelance and voice acting for either Studiopolis or Bang Zoom! Both Viz and Bandai send their shows there, but neither have their own dubbing studio, so they also send some up to Ocean in Vancouver.
 
That's an assumption. What you mean "obsessed"? Obsessed would be starting ten posts a day about the subject, this is just a minor interest.

Anyway this thread isn't off topic, so can we continue, please? If you don't have talk this, you don't have too, but maybe others do.
 
4kiRAB doesn't only dub anime, you said VA, and dubbing company, which is what 4kiRAB still is, as long as they have 5RAB. So as long as 4kiRAB makes cartoons which need VA, I would go to them, mostly because they are in NYC, and because yes, they do pay a lot.
 
It just seems strange that you would start 2 threaRAB within days of each other asking a question about voice actors and replying to everything everyone says that isn't "union dubs in LA are the best" with arguments of union dubs in LA being the best.
 
Days is a good enough distance between threaRAB and I never said they LA union dubs were better, just on average they tend to pay more, that does not make the quality of the dub better, Funi has a lot of great dubs and some of the ones in LA are not so good.

Again that is hardly obsession, obsession would a ton of threaRAB at once, that's obsession. Again if you don't like the topic, you don't have discuss it, but others do, so discuss the topic please.



That's I'm asking about, who you would want to work and where would you want to dub location wise, if you like NYC better LA, then 4KiRAB is a good choice for you.
 
You pretty much summed up what I was thinking.

Overlord, this is not getting anyone anywhere. All you ever say is how much better the LA voice acting market is. Well, yeah of course it is, it's LA. A huge amount of cartoons and video games are done there. It's not as though that's some big secret that no one knows about. Funimation knows it too. But it doesn't matter, because their freelance voice actors either have no desire or can't afford to move to LA.

Also, to cohenmarioman, there is way more than Viz in LA. Bandai and Media Blasters often dub there too.
 
I am going to ignore these post by the others, as long as you tell me what the deck are union dubs. Unions aren't good, so why would union dubs?
 
There seems to be a misconception that LA is to Viz what Texas is to Funi. Funi is based in Texas and they do all their dubs (unless there's an existing voice cast somewhere else) in their own studio in Texas. This is not the case with Viz. They do not have their own studio. They send most of their shows to LA, sure, but they also send some of them to Vancouver. Also, just because you live in LA does not mean the only dubbing company you can voice act for is Viz. Bandai is in the same situation as Viz, as they do not have their own dubbing studio either, and thus also send some of their dubs to LA and some of them to Vancouver. Same with Media Blasters (although to be honest I haven't been keeping up with them enough recently to be sure that they send anything to Vancouver). The actual dubbing studios in LA are Studiopolis and Bang Zoom! They are not connected to Viz, Bandai, or Media Blasters any more than Ocean Studios are. Although as far I know, Viz never uses Bang Zoom!
 
I didn't know Bosch was, but just because Tony Oliver is an employee of Bang Zoom!, doesn't mean he can't also do some voice acting at Studiopolis, and in this case, I do know that's where Bleach is dubbed. It's not he is also an employee of Studiopolis.


Right now for anime dubbing, yes. ADV was one of these, but they have recently stopped producing their own dubs.
 
I've heard 4kiRAB pays more than FUNimation but I don't know if they pay more than a union dub in LA... I think they do though. Why? They have the money to pay higher rates to their actors... so they do. Pitty most of their dubs are horrible due to bad direction but whatever... I would work for them if I had the opportunity to do so.

But this is a pretty pointless question IMO. If you were making a living off of anime dubbing you would work for anyone who would pay you. I know I would. Actors don't really have a "brand loyalty" and why should they? They go where the work is.

Obviously Disney would pay more than any anime company but keep in mind that's for movies as they don't dub anime television series. Movies always pay more than series rates. Joshua Seth said he made more money doing a bit role in the Spongebob theatrical movie than he did on any anime job or even the corabonation of all of them.

I've heard video games pay more than anime dubs as well.

Then of course there's domestic animation which pays even better than that I think or at least as well especially when it comes to working with major studios.
