(Repost for bad title, my b)

Surely I'm not alone in this, but I think every audio is instantly elevated with the use of good sound effects.

Obviously, not every script calls for them, but if they do, it's just gonna be better if they're there.

That said, I fully understand the whole host of reasons why a performer might not want to bother with certain effects, or skip a script entirely because of it. And, if we're being real, it doesn't make a ton of sense for that burden to be put on the performer, anyway, especially if they're sounds that a performer can't make on their own.

All that to say, I was thinking, and I think it might be a good idea to provide specific SFX for use. But then that begs the question: How? and how far?

Provide a list of links to freesound.org files? What if they come from another source, or I make them myself? Pack it all in a zip file to upload somewhere? That seems a bit unsafe...

And then, how detailed should it even get? Ambiance, weather effects, fire, etc., all things the performer wouldn't make themselves is a lock. But, wet sounds? What about common things like clothes rustling? At the end of the day, it would just be providing options, and anyone could use/not use it as they see fit, but I probably wouldn't want to waste my time foleying wet sounds for half an hour if they're never getting used.

Any thoughts on this?
