I'm retired, and make short video animations as a creative outlet, uploading them to YouTube. I will be posting a call for paid VAs, in the very near future, and I'm wondering how the actors are compensated. Personal check would be the easiest for me. PS... just wondering... Stage actors hear "Break a leg." Do voice actors hear "Break a larynx."?

Most often, voice actors seem to be paid with PayPal online (and PayPal allows you to use other methods like a credit card, etc. rather than an actual PayPal account to pay through them), though a lot of voice actors may be flexible on the payment method and accept personal checks. =) Of course, with checks there may be an issue with waiting for the funds to clear from cashing/depositing said checks IF payment is due prior to you receiving the lines, as opposed to more instant payment methods -- again, such as PayPal.
Edit: Haha, I think this is the first time I've heard "break a larynx", but that's a great one!

PayPal is pretty much the norm (especially because sending checks would require people give out their personal addresses, which some may not be comfortable doing. I will give out my address for major reputable companies but I am very wary of giving it to individuals whom I don't have some kind of verified relationship with.) Venmo is also an option.

I've been hearing people talk about Venmo lately. I even had a person buying one of my books at the show in Detroit ask if I take Venmo, I was like "Sorry, I'm old". Is it like a Square thing, or like a PayPal thing? Or a new thing?

It's kind of like PayPal but since it transfers directly between bank accounts, there are no fees involved.
