Adam note: I normally have my microphone in a non-moving position when I record, I have no idea why I had it moving when I recorded this. So that's my bad. I didn't realize it picked up the slightest movements, oh well, lesson learned haha.

That was a great start! You two made some excellent points throughout this podcast.

1) I completely agree. Original projects show the TRUE talent and extent of our members here. I have been saying it for years; mainly on deaf ears, but whatever; fact is, you will NEVER hear the true abilities of our fellow voice actors and actresses until you throw them into a radioplay. It allows them to remove ALL constraints. No worry about time, or sounding simular to the original voice actor; no, they are allowed to really show us what they got. A few cases were like with XTREEMMAK. The character I have him playing, Vesta, was originally meant to be quite a different character. But I pretty much let him do his own thing, removed ALL restraints; and now he is giving me extra lines and changing lines to better suit the character we have built together. People like Lucien and Molty Fool are a few others; I have seen in Project AAMEE and Elysium Project. Honestly, there are even others I didn't know were as great as they were until I heard them outside of fandubs. That is why I find it a damn shame when the original works get looked over. If you REALLY want to scout for good talent; or put a VA's merit to the test; or even if you are the VA and want to push yourself to the limits, original works are the way to go!

Anyway. Point was, I agreed with you guys on how original works demonstrated the true talents of this board. And I am often amazed when I come across projects like previously mentioned and hear VAs in a new light!

2) I am one of those producers that when I start something, I go through with it. Though I have ran into a lot of snags; and the reason half of my stuff is on hold or hasn't released a new episode is due to voice actors either dropping out or taking forever to get lines in. I also hate to recast; which puts me at a disadvantage. But that was another good point you guys made; on how its rare to see that around here. Most series' don't ever finish. Personally I am trying REALLY hard to get the first season of Dies Irae done. I have 11 out of 13 episodes scripted; and am waiting on two VAs to get me lines for episode 6. I already got about 90% of lines needed for the second half of episode 7. Point is, it is rare; but awesome to see. Another one you guys should mention is TsiXin's "Butajin!!!". He actually completed the first season; and each episode is quite long in length. I wish my VA's were often as punctual as his (most of mine are, but a FEW... YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!... arent). But his is an example of finishing a season; and a pretty good one at that!

Annnnnnnnnnnyway!

Again, awesome first episode! I look forward to seeing where things go from here. But I love the idea; and wish I could help out more than I do~ because I love doing things to promote original series' (just look at my sig! Mwahahaha).

Keep up the great work guys~

"Stay classy, VAA." Oh, you guys. X3 I loved this so much! It took me like an hour to stream it, though, since it just didn't want to download, but eh, I still managed to listen to it! This was a really, really brilliant start! You guys have great voices for podcasting, and I really can't wait to hear more! :3

Dreamcatcher mention for the win. :'3 ~~I still need to watch the next 2 episodes. ;_;~~

Speaking of, YOU CANNOT AVOID ZINKY'S ORIGINALITY LOVE, IT'S EVERYWHERE. ~~I'm messing with you, man~~ I seriously wish I had time for your game/demo as well as keep up with my own productions, dang. ' -'

This podcast came out better than I thought! I'm hoping you guys cover more "touchy" topics for VAA. Though don't expect me to enter that contest. =p (Also: This was was once a community?)

A few years ago, during the first few years I was here, Auditions numbering between 30-50 for a project wasn't unusual, they were released more often, and people were more willing to comment on other people's works. We hope and aim to encourage more active participation.
