Would you voice copy with a lot of cuss-words?
Do you accept a job doing a spot for a political candidate you oppose?
You've just been handed a job as one voice in a dialogue promoting a brothel. Do you accept?
I've seen lively debates on both sides of this issue.
One side says: "it's just a job, and I'm an actor, after all…the content shouldn't concern me."
The other side says: "At the end of the day all I have is my own integrity. If I accept this job that compromises my beliefs, I degrade myself."
I'm not here to pass judgement one way or the other, but click HERE to read the story of a voice actor who turned down a lucrative job for the latter argument. It takes guts.
