The board of the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists (AFTRA) has endorsed a tentative deal with videogame publishers that would see game voice actors receive a bump in pay.

Separate AFTRA and Screen Actors Guild (SAG) contracts were announced earlier this month. SAG’s board has approved its deal as well reports Variety, and has sent out the agreement to its four member caucuses for a final go over.

The contracts of both groups expire on December 31. The new 15-month long deals, if approved, would run through March 30, 2011. As it stands now, each group would receive an initial 3% raise and a second increase of 2.5% on April 1.

Opposition to one of the pact’s points has apparently sprouted up as some members are not too pleased with a provision that would allow employers to use actors to perform up to 20 different voices—with up to 300 words for each voice—and be paid at the daily base rate, which some see as a step backward from current terms.
