Hey everyone,

I'd like to take a minute to introduce the VAA Producer Blogs.

While the Social Groups were an unexpected addition, and everyone at the forums being so hotdamn eager to create the groups for their production studios, we're not really thrilled to have all those groups around, [URL="http://voiceactingalliance.com/board/showthread.php?t=32632"]as mentioned in this particular thread not too long ago[/URL].

I'll make some announcement about that, though, since I guess it's because of you it's too late to disable them now :p

What I really wanted to share is an addition to the forums that will keep the audition forums cleaner and allow members to discuss the actual projects with the producer. Not via email, not via instant messenger, but via the VAA Producer Blogs.

If you have a project going on the VAA and would like to manage it on the forums, but not spend time [URL="http://voiceactingalliance.com/board/showthread.php?t=34808"]deleting PMs[/URL], or write emails or use the rather limited and spammy Social Groups, you may apply for a blog at the VAA as a [B]producer[/B].

If you want to make a personal blog, then start a Livejournal. Keep it related to your projects.

It is possible to have multiple categories (and sub-categories!) in your blog, so do not worry if you have multiple projects you would like to manage. Forum members can subscribe to your blog via email or RSS; meaning that as long as they're subscribed to your blog, you don't really have to send out reminders, now do you?

PM me the following if you would like to apply for a producer's blog:

-Link to your active projects

That's all. I want legit producers here, not people who make 30 second boredom demos.

If this goes okay, maybe I'll allow for VA blogs as well, but for the sake of project management, try the blogs. Auditions are still to be posted in the Audition forum. Advertise your blog in your signature!

We hope to bring the community together a bit more like this. Or at least get members involved with producers some more, without spamming the regular forums.

Thanks for reading.

    Actually, it'd be pretty nice if blogs weren't just limited to this, but if there was individual user blogs as well... This way it could really limit the whole selectiveness of the "omg look at my VA career!!1" threads...

    Besides that, the usergroups are a fantastic idea -- why not just install the Usergroup Forum mod, so it'd make it a more forum-based environment that is off the forum, and organise things a lot better -- it'd especially allow for discussion on various projects under one group.... which kind of makes a lot more sense than this method, to be honest.

    Eek!I kinda feel bad for starting my social group now.^^;
    But yeah,I think this is a cleaner and more effective idea to have blogs promoting a production studio. I kinda wish I gave it some time before I posted the group. I'm sorry about that.

    I can understand why there aren't individual blogs. However, I think that the administration should hand them out on a selective basis. Not friends or moderators, but people who would actually write on a regular basis. And I don't mean "OMG!!! This is what happened to me today!!!" I mean people who will write about meaningful topics.

    So I'm not supposed to have a personal blog? I seem to have a link that says "post to your blog"...

    But blogging on status of my production sounds sensible... I just need to come up with a name for my "production group"

    Russ: It's weird. Some people do have that "Post to you blog" link, while others, like my test account doesn't have one at all, nor do some other members I've asked it to. Really weird, but I was going to give you a blog anyway. Moving you to the VAA Producer Bloggers right now

    Steven: Like in the post, all in due time. I wanna see how this goes.

    It appears that I have a blog as well....though it seems as if I truly shouldn't, seeing I'm no sort of Producer.


    Regardless, I'll happily keep it and use it if you'll let me Thooough..I understand if that could start some kinda problem...

    Yeah, I have a blog too, not sure if I'm supposed to have access to it. But I was going to pm you with production info anyway as I think this is a really good idea.

    Naturally I'll hold off on anything until you have it working the way you want it to. I'll also hold off on pming you info until you get everything set up properly.
