A game may have the swankiest visuals, the most breathtaking game play and the most awe-inspiring audio, but without the voice actor.... its characters are subjected to a cheap, skin-deep superficiality. There is nothing worse than playing a modification/game without voice acting.... or even worse, an abundance of abominable voice acting.

VAU is the answer to this problem. By creating a contact-base for both developers and quality voice acting talent, we can assure that games and high quality modifications have a go-to area for development needs.

Developers may plausibly argue that there are virtually no decent voice actors up for hire. It is true, that is a fact. Decent voice actors with proper equipment come few and far between. By the same token, voice actors have considerable trouble collecting high-calibre show-reel material for future work as well as developers/teams that can actually facilitate this standard of work.

There is a desperate need for some form of synergism between developers and talent. Only then, can the inception of true professionalism take place. VAU is the answer to this problem. By creating a contact-base for both developers and quality voice acting talent, we can assure that games and high quality modifications have a go-to area for development needs.

Not to mention, we have created a very effective job forum for voice actors. Forget politics as well... This is membership only. Membership proves indicative of a voice actor’s talent. If the member experiences inappropriate treatment at the hands of a development team without due cause (and this happens ALOT)... you can forget receiving any future help from VAU people. And I assure you; the voice actor has to hold up their end of the bargain as well! Check out the group page for the criterion for VAU membership status.

Hello! I want to apply for the VAU, but I'm unsure of to whom to send my written application since the group leader is away. Could any of the other members give me a pointer? :) There's got to be a second in charge right?

Some of the most dramatic voice acting will be needed for my mod called Lost Hope. It's not on here yet, but if you are interested feel free to leave me a PM.

In this case, it's best to contact the people directly. VAU is only indicative of talent, and some members will not check this message board regularly.
