I am creating a new series of games, and I was wondering if adding voice actors into them would be legal. I have seen some games (like Arsenal) that have hired voice actors, however, I am not sure if they are legal (according to Roblox ToS). I am guessing that they are since Arsenal hasn’t been taken down. Also, if voice actors are legal, how would I go about hiring one? Thank you.
How in the world is hiring voice actors Not legal? Ofc they are legal. BRUH lol. You’re hiring Voice Actors to do some tasks for your game. I mean only if your Voice Actors are doing what their task is & it doesn’t have any “bad” stuff in it, I don’t think it is “illegal”.
I figured it was legal, however, not many games have voice actors in them. Also, how would I go about hiring one?
it is for sure alright to add voice actors to your game! I think it makes the game better to be honest!
I think this is mostly because of how it costs robux to upload sounds, and most people don’t really want to bother with finding voice actors. Using voice actors for your game is 100% safe.
Using voice actors is completely okay! I think the reason not many games have them however is due to FINDING a voice actor in the first place, plus the cost to upload tons of audios.
That’s what I’ve been told. However, no one can seem to tell me where to find a good voice actor, which leads me to believe that they are very hard to find.
I’d assume voice actors are hard to find either because not many people have experience with it, or ones with it would be working on bigger things, such as games outside of Roblox.
That makes sense, personally I think my best bet would be to hire Youtubers (similar to what @Nullxiety did with @jokerkid5898 in his game Nullwork), as most Youtubers already have all of the equipment to voice in a game anyway. Maybe I should try sending @Nullxiety a DM and see how he did it…
Hiring YouTubers may be the best option, however I’m sure a lot of them would require a pretty hefty pay, so you’d have to come prepared, haha!
Yes, Voice Actors are allowed as long as the audio itself doesn’t break ToS. However, there are some cons: The cost of hiring a voice actor and the cost of uploading audio can both be expensive. I know there are some voice actors in the Hidden Developers community if that helps.
Thank you so much!! I hadn’t thought about checking the Hidden Developers community! However, I might end up going with what I said in an earlier post.
Yea, no problem! I’m not sure how many are actually for hire though. Voice actors are still quite uncommon. You can submit a hiring request in their Discord.
I’ve seen games that use voice actors.
