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.

Welcome to Making It To The Mic! I'm kicking off Season 3 with this official trailer.
Everyone has to start somewhere right? In voice over, there are so many places to start and paths to travel down. On this podcast I interview a variety of voice actors from different backgrounds about how they got their start. We focus on what it was like in the early days of their career, how they found their way in the voice over industry, and what steps they took to create the careers they have now.
Hosted by Stephanie Pam Roberts, a musical theatre actress turned voice actor who made it to the mic over 10 years ago. Stephanie built her career from the ground up working mostly from her home studio with jobs she booked on her own. Since then she’s grown her business and has voiced everything from national commercials to corporate projects to kids apps, and more!
