Featured VA of the month!

[Kraco]

I don't have any particular suggestions, but it could be a good idea to feature male and female VAs by turns.

An awesome thing would be if you got a little server space from Gotwoot so that you could put up lets say three short samples from various different roles performed by the dude/damsel currently under inspection in your article. I'm sure you have a nice archive of anime you could use to rip a few seconds of memorable lines (or you could ask for them from people you know here). You could use the same server space perhaps all the time, if that's an issue, and so only the samples for the new article would be available. But generally speaking tiny wavs (or mp3s) of few seconds each would take insignificant amount of space (and bandwidth as I don't think tens of thousands of people would be clicking those links anyway).

I don't know if there could be any technical difficulties with such a thing, but with the gurus behind this site, I don't think that should be a problem.

Edit: Like now you had a row of those little pics of the role characters Shuuichi has had. Wouldn't it be 1337 if by clicking each image you would get a characteristic line from that particular character?

I think you should do one on Akira Ishida.

I understand some of the basics of japanese but not enough to understand everything said in a big conversation, I think Psyke would be perfect for the job though.

Guys I haven't gotten a whole lot of feedback on this new feature, and it really would be a great help to have someone who has at least a shred of knowledge of the Japanese language to just throw me a friggin bone here every now and then!

Please?

Next VA will indeed be a female. Haven't decided who...

[XanBcoo]

Do you have any in mind? I'd say you should either do Megumi Hayashibara (as an easy cop-out), Satsuki Yukino, Fumiko Orikasa, or Romi Paku.

Those are all pretty popular voices you could find a lot of info for. The last 3 have done or are doing current series. I don't know any Japanese though, so I can't help except for reccomendations. Good luck.

I suggested this on irc, but i dont think wilik understood what i was trying to say, so i'll say it again.

Post you're VA article here in the announcements section (like make a thread solely for that purpose, no one else posts in it) cuz up at the front page not as many ppl will see it, and also it will get lost in a few days due to other announcements. Atleast here in the forums it will always be availeble.

[Kraco]

I don't think that solely is a good idea. Maybe both at the front page and here (or a link here to the front page). But you have to understand that it's quite different to have "just" a forum thread or a front page article.

[masamuneehs]

i'm doing this on the frontpage because we want to attract more regular traffic (aside from those who just come to find a AonE release) and lure new members into the forums.

I'll probably announce this month's featured VA later today.
