I’ve been a “voice for hire.” I always called it “prostituting my voice,” and I never much cared what they did with the work product because they paid for it. If I didn’t like what they wanted me to say, they got somebody else and payed them instead. That’s what professionals do.

In her case, they got her to do the voice work because of her earlier work and presumed fame. Meh. I noticed the “Captains” of all the Star Trek shows did voice-over work later in life. I still hear Patrick Stewart on commercials a lot, he has a distinctive voice.

A friend of mine who used to do radio "prostituted" her voice for a rather humiliating ad for a hemorrhoid treatment center.

I told her "I sure hope you were very well-paid for that one!" She assures me she was.

You may have missed my whole point: I NEVER indicated I held anything against honest voicework; I did it for many years. I DID walk out of a particular session. I DID get un-listed for a while. I DID care what was done with my voice. My voice is ME! Away with your concept of professionalism! There were always PLENTY like you out there who WERE FOR HIRE REGARDLESS THE MESSAGE, and still are! Yes, I moved away from voicework and did something different -- and have continued to veer away from thinking like yours.

Leonard Nimoy narrated quite a few shows, too. You got it, you use it.
