An update on guest VAs! (Patreon)

I'm sure it's not exactly been a secret we are trialling a lot of Guest VAs at the moment, we want to add more amazing Zaddies and Baddies to the lineup.

I've been living in a Google Sheet of auditions, facepalming over and over as horrendous tones and soul-destroying pickup lines hit my ears and then giving a brief smirk as .1% show something of what we're looking for.

Maybe we just need to specialise in the baddest Zaddies at this point? Who knows.

As I mentioned we've decided that we're going to label guest VAs with emojis. Because nothing says “professional romance content company” like assigning fruit and weather symbols to the men making you feral.

We'll raise a flood alert if we post 👅 💦🌮 all in one go.

But on a more serious note, going forward, our goal as a company is to continue to work with a small-ish number of VAs at a time.

But, for them to join us and work consistently with us, they have to be THE absolute best VAs that we can possibly find, so when we put out content with them we are looking for huge reactions from the majority of our fans and people we want to join our community from across the internet.

We do not aim to be a place that just pumps out as much content as we can, we want to make everything super high quality and able to be listened to hundreds of times for years to come. That's our goal and it will take time to get there and do it consistently and define this next era of BKS. I mean shit...if it was easy, everyone would do it right?

So for BKS, we are looking for overwhelming reactions to a Guest VA on Patreon and elsewhere that is something unprecedented that makes us go 'damn, this guy is super special, there's very few other people like this in the erotica and romance world we have to work with him more'.

As was mentioned in the comments on guest VA 🥝's snippets a few weeks ago, we want the creme de la creme. What was maybe pretty good in 2022, isn't going to cut it now in 2026 as we hunt for the best possible VAs on the planet that we can, voice AND acting/performance skill wise (that the majority of our fans love).

So we're going to be very selective from this point forward about guest VAs that we bring for consideration. We demand excellence from ourselves and we seek this same level from VAs we bring into BKS going forward.

We are not the ‘he’ll do’ community. We are the ‘he made me question my life choices and I left my body for several days after listening to him' community.

Beyond this, I wanted to mention that other things do happen with Guest VAs:

e.g. they book onto a film project for 3 months and disappear, they freak out about NSFW content (their cunnilingus ain't cunnilingusing) and don't want to do it anymore (had this happen a frustrating number of times after the green light was given), they do a few scripts and then lose interest, they get a sore throat which seems to go on for nearly a year (true story, don't ask).

There are a thousand variables that play into their enthusiasm and ability to do more.

One important question I do think worth raising is do you want snippets from guest VAs first or do you want to just hear them do a full audio? We can run a poll about this so it's clearer for us too. There are pros and cons to both approaches but ultimately we want to do what gives these guys the best chance of a fair shot.

For the sake of clarity for everyone, for the time being, we do not have more audios planned with the following guest VAs:

• 🏕️ - who did Wired Wrong, Campfire and Mont Blanc Liar

• 🧊 - who did Thawed Out and Faking It

• 20 - who did Letters From The War, Spicy Vanilla and It Happened In A Dream

• 🛏️ - who did A Lazy Weekend pt. 1 and 2

• 🤓 - who did Meant To Be and Two More Hours

• 🌪️ - who did Summer Storms, Deal for A Deadline and Stranded With You

• 🎱 - who did Off Limits

• 🤭 - who did some snippets, sadly pulled out for personal reasons

• 🥝 - who did some snippets

This was mostly because we felt there was some area where they were not quite strong enough in, whether their underlying voice and the sexiness of it, or their performance, naturalness, emotional range etc. vs. the standard we are aiming for.

We do have a full audio planned with guest VA ☘️ who did some snippets of 'Call Me When You Need Me Pt. 1' on social media. This was a judgement call based on his acting/performance abilities and capability to hopefully provide a unique voice for BKS.
