Simpsons Actors on Strike

    I am currently developing some speech enabled applications that require a voice talent to do several voice prompts. From what I heard from others, those people charge a lot due to the fact that they have to get everything perfect. Would it be just nice to find a repository of voice "donors" that would do the job for free?

    Give use back Family Guy. Dump the simpsons, maybe then we'll have a show that's actually funny and doenst require voice actors who want more than a quarter of a millian dollars to say stupid catch phrases.

    Hell I think Seth McFarlane has incredible voice talent, Brian the Dog is more sophisticated than Fraiser Krane.
