The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) have ratified a new contract for interactive media. As of April 1, 2010 the agreement increases actor wages 2.5% to $802 per four-hour session, and retains the 135% remote delivery fee for applicable games.
It also includes an instant $100 payment if a prod...ucer fails to inform the actor of a vocally stressful session, as well as the highly debated "Atmospheric Voices". Under this performance category, an actor may record up to 20 distinct voices per session, as long as none of the roles are principal or lead roles, the lines delivered to not further the storyline and none of the roles surpass 300 words. Interestingly enough, this was also in the proposed contract SAG voted down in October.
AFTRA members passed the new contract with a 66% vote in favor. This new agreement will replace AFTRA's extension agreement to the 2005-2008 Interactive Media Agreement, which remains in effect through December 31, 2009. That extension included a wage rate increase of 3% and a benefit contributions increase of 0.5%. The new agreement, which includes a 2.5% increase in minimum session fees on April 1, 2010 as mentioned above, will go into effect on January 1, 2010, and remain in full force until March 31, 2011.
