Marin M. Miller #016 LA Local Board #076 National Board #125 Convention Delegate "I have fought for better transparency and wages with the grassroots performers advocacy group I co-founded. Our efforts have resulted in the founding of the dubbing steering committee at SAG-AFTRA and thousands of Union jobs. Voice actors struggle to have their voices represented in SAG-AFTRA because we have no elected representatives. Help us change that!" Vote by September 12!!

GAI, Cont. “Secondary Performance Payment” What Is It: A payment for when they move a visual performance (movement or face, excluding VO) over to another game as-is. It is not an AI or replica payment at all. It’s your performance, copy paste into a new game. SAG-AFTRA’s Position: This is what Integration is for, a payment obligation that already exists in the contract. Employers Position: Integration as it currently exists doesn’t apply to on-camera or movement performance unless what’s being moved over is a clip of a game, exact copy of the shot, framing, everything in view is the same. The Problem: Not how Integration works for voice, and rarely how performance is experienced in a game, which has any number of player-controllable angles on performance 99% of the time (much less skins, remastered graphics and other cosmetic tweaks). This is how they argue both concepts, SPP and Integration, exist at the same time. Neg Comm argues this distinction is bogus, but they are not allowing it to hold up a deal.
Regarding ICDR (Independently Created Digital Replicas): There are many things that are not covered by an ICDR. Only the things that are specifically mentioned are covered, and must be covered in each section between semicolons, and everything else that isn’t mentioned (or a DR) has no consent, transparency or compensation at all, no coverage on the contract. For voice actors, that means something that performs as you but was prompted by the character name, or anything other than your name, is not covered. Movement and facial performance is essentially carved out entirely, for reasons throughout the paragraph, but definitely if they swap your face out for a different likeness. EX: They could replicate John Wick’s gun-fu directly from the movies, change Keanu Reeves’ face only, and it would not be covered by an ICDR. (“Likeness” refers to your features, not your performance.)
