This is technically a feature request, but it's for the site, not the game, I'll post it here.

We have a little tickbox that says when you're willing to beta holds. You can be invited, and you can do the testing. However, I found while doing my current hold that getting people for something else other than beta-ing can be quite tricky. I had a few volunteers for voice acting, but only a couple have been able to follow through on their offer. And locating them was tricky to start with.

So I propose another little tickbox. You tick it if you are willing and able to do secondary material for holds, and a text box to fill in what you can do. This could be music, sound effects, voice acting, character pictures, script writing. e.g. I myself am willing to do voice acting, and script writing and can do four or five distinct voices (including a kick-ass rock golem ;) )

Does this sound sensible? I know the implementation is simple enough to do, though I'm not sure how simple searching would be.

I'm not sure I understand. Why can't you just make a separate thread for voice acting?

Because I think you'd get a lot more people interested and able to sign up that way. It wouldn't require them to directly see the thread asking for voice actors, and more importantly, it wouldn't clog up the forum with a separate request for voice actors every time someone wanted them.

Also, this isn't just for voice acting - it would be for music, graphics, scripting and anything else.
