Hello Backstage!

Recently, I seen u/ChiLittleWolf make a questionnaire for the scriptwriters in the community, so I was curious about hearing from the VA’s of the community as well so that writer's can get some insight from behind the microphone! I don't want to feel like I copied her, but the questions she asked were very insightful and also made me think of questions I'd like to know more about VA and get a different perspective!

I'm sure this isn't the first one to exist, but whatever! Answer the questions you want, don't answer the ones you don't, you do you! Feel free to reorder them however you want too or even add some if you like! Looking forward to getting to know you all better as well as help showcase you a bit more in the community and maybe make some new friends along the way =D. Please tag me or put a link in the comments so I get notified that you answered.

​

Also might be a fun thing to answer and pin to your sub or userpage to help answer some common or uncommon questions scriptwriters might have in regards to how you chose the scripts you work on ...no obligation to do that of course!

​

Onto the questions!!!

1. What was your first script you ever filled? (Feel free to link it!)
2. What’s your most viewed fill? (Feel free to link it!)
3. Is there a script you are secretly pining to fill or wish would be filled? (Feel free to link it!)
4. Do you have a “favorite” script you filled? What drew you to it? (Feel free to link it!)
5. How many fills do you currently have?
6. Is there a Genre/Tag you want to fill but haven’t yet? Any reason why?
7. Do you like it when listeners tag you or other VAs they want to see fill a certain script?
8. What sort of Tags/Genres do you tend to gravitate towards? What draws you to those above others?
9. Are there Tags/Genres you will never explore? Any particular reason? (Share if you want)
10. If you put SFX in your audios, is there an expectation for links to be provided from the writer? Are there SFX you will stay clear of no matter what?

13. Do you like having directions as to how you should sound? (Ex: Scared, Surprised, Disappointed)
