Let's look at that "Holy Grail of VO Myths"

SAG/AFTRA scale.

Dick Thrust "the voice of the movies" opens his mail and in one envelope is a pay check for a movie trailer. Major movie, world wide cinematic release, I saw the trailer at the cinema in Inverness and you saw it where you live.

You, because of your industry knowledge are able to tell the world the number in US dollars on that check. What is that number?

Philip,

Honestly, I have no idea. I do know I was paid $750 for the last trailer I recorded, but that was for an independent film release.

I know... but I won't say ... this could be interesting.

It's a perfect example of minimums not being maximums.
You get what you/your agent negotiates.
