Hey Rebekah, that's a positive way to look at it.  Hi LadyStardust, I wasn't referring to VAC. I'm new to VAC here and on Discord, but I thinks it's great. I was referring to auditions and projects I've encountered where all communications and interactions within and for the project are done solely through Discord. Kind of what cbdroege said on page 1 of this discussion but obviously said it better than I. lol |

I had a feeling that's what you meant. I've had quite a few projects that run solely through discord, and all official communication is run through the same channel as the "general chat", so it's a difficult choice of muting the server to stop getting hit with notifications, or get slammed with notifications and not miss important info (if it isn't lost in the chaos).
I agree, though. The VAC Discord is very well run, has a lot of boards for various topics, and everyone is great at sticking to what goes where.

Thank you, it was. Maybe I'm old skool, but I prefer to send and receive emails about the jobs I've been hired for or I can easily miss what is going on. |

I've seen way too many auditions where the lines are super generic, or even worse, I've seen the whole "say something you think would fit". I shouldn't know your character better than you. The other one is nowadays how it's mandatory to have a Discord. I don't see what's wrong with e-mail.

I completely agree with you on project Discords, actually. Being that I already admin the VAC Discord, it's simply too much to keep up with a bunch of other servers. I'd much prefer to receive scripts and other important communications through email.
That being said, I don't mind it if people wish to have a project server for those who do wish to socialize with the rest of the cast and such, but it should be optional rather than a requirement for getting/sending lines.

Ok, this is a bit of an odd one, but I don’t like Discord being a must for projects. I can understand why, but it can seem odd. I’m not trying to be sassy, I’m just genuinely curious, is it that hard to just email some lines to a VA and they can email them back?
