Who pays their Actors More? Ocean, Funimation or Blue Water
I know this depends more on other factors, like if the actor belongs to the Screen Actors Guild and so on. But I know this is the best place to ask this because many pro Voice Actors are here. I BESEECH YOU! PLEASE HELP ME OUT!

I'm sure it's Ocean.

Blue Water is Ocean's budget studio so they definitely don't pay the most.
I'm pretty certain it's Ocean. Funimation projects are rarely union while Ocean's main studio stuff is all union (ACTRA to be more specific, SAG is in the USA). It's just a higher standard of pay.

Ocean, almost certainly; Ocean uses the best of the best Vancouver has to offer, they're basically A-listers.
Regarding the other two, the way I understand it, despite common belief, Blue Water is also a union studio, it's just that Blue Water is under a generally lower-paying union. Meanwhile, Funimation isn't union at all.
So, while I'd say Ocean almost certainly pay the most, who's at the bottom is anyone's guess; you could make valid arguments either way. Though I think determining who pays the lowest is going a bit far with this.

The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

Most likely to be Ocean. I remember Saffron Henderson had a brief career in the U.S (specifically Los Angeles) but since she didn't earn as much as she did in Canada, she moved back to there.

From most expensive to least:
1) Ocean
2) Blue Water
3) Funimation
You can find Blue Water's collective bargaining agreement online. Funimation's numbers are private, but what we've heard isn't high. They're based in Texas largely because it's a right to work state. They can pay people whatever they want.
