Brainstorm time... (Patreon)

Hey little monkeys. Soooo.... I need your help. I’ve relapsed a bit in voice health (no lectures please about overdoing it 🤓).

I’ve been in denial about this, but truth is my body and voice need a LEGITIMATE break. Problem is, this community is my livelihood. It’s how I keep a roof over my head and a car under me.

The pressure to maintain my work pace is why I’ve continued to push when I shouldn’t. So where I need your help more than ever is helping me find ways to keep this community active and rewarding, WITHOUT new audios for a few months.

Not gonna lie, I need you guys. This is my job, my living. But my main work tool is injured and weak. What can we do around here that would keep our Patreon family thriving, happy and growing?

Thank you in advance for the ideas!

Ben, I am so sorry to hear you are struggling again with your voice. I don't have new ideas to add but I do agree with the ideas to ask other artists to do guest spots, more group script writing sessions, and posting some short stories. I know this has to be a huge strain for you with the stress of worrying about your livelihood and worried about possibly disappointing us. PLEASE know that you are NOT going to disappoint us. With what I have seen on this post and in others, you have a lot of true fans here. We love what you have done for us with all of these amazing audios, so we are not going to abandon you when you need us most. As much as this sucks, taking this break is the best thing you can do for us because you are preventing the issue from getting any worse which would possibly require an even longer break. Please take care of yourself and do not feel guilty for making yourself a priority.

So sorry to hear, Ben :( Please take care of yourself first and foremost! However long it takes, this weirdo Vii isn't going anywhere 💜 I also agree with the other posts above: story contests, voice guests, fan art, etc. Perhaps hmm...new merch design contests? I wish I could think of more ideas ><

I don’t have anything to add to everyone’s already great advice, but regardless of what you choose to do, I’m sure the vast majority of us won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. After everything you’ve done for us, we’re glad to help in anyway we can 🥰

We are here for you. We will keep support no matter what for you Ben. Your audios have given so much joy. We are all here to help in what ever way we can. Maybe go a different route then doing audios. Maybe something lighter like streams of video games or movies like on discord or something... something where the community and you can still enjoy something together. :)

Most of the ideas I have have already been stated, guest VA spots, fanart competitions, maybe script writing contests? Or even writing prompts. The group script writing is always fun times (whenever I can actually make it heh). I know there's some other communities I'm involved in where they do group movie streaming so that could be a fun way to interact. Hell, even just posts about daily life things can bring engagement (stuff like 'what are some of your favorite songs/movies, etc' not necessarily super personal things, if you know what I mean) We'll be here for you! I'm glad to hear you're finally going to give your voice a break ;) Regardless of what you do in the meantime, I'll still be here! We may have been brought together because of the audios, but I think most of us are still here because of this community <3

I concur with my fellow monkeys. We aren't going anywhere (thank god for annual subscriptions; feels less like somethings chipping at my savings). As far as ideas go, maybe posts like this that let us know you're still alive? Maybe some sort of topic of the week or something that we could go into via forum or something.

What about “Monkey Script contests” where we write stuff for you and the top 9 are featured for readings (in part if you want to make them audios later) and the top one will get the public recording when you get around to it. Or maybe post a riddle and people have to go through your YouTube vids to find the answers.

I mean, I'm staying.... BUT I've been with artists that make great content but don't interact with their audience and honestly, you've ruined me lol. You're like the boyfriend that no one can hold a candle to, the one that sets the standards ... No pressure or anything lol .. but my point is , that I get what you're worried about. I don't need you to prove you're worth my time and money because you already have.. but the newbies don't know that. God I hope I don't sound pompous. Soooo riddle me this Batman.... How about some more patreon interactive stuff... how you do Google Docs buuuut what?!? (A running q&a or something) Maybe just live text chats.... I remember once you talking about adding to tiers or something.. anyway, you mentioned pictures, little glimpses into where or what Ben is doing. Maybe games, riddles, joke of the day kinda stuff. Book club, lol... we all read together and discuss 🤷🏻‍♀️ like free short stories we can find online and share,or an actual novel.... Feel better love

Aw you’re to kind! Thank you for the encouraging words. And yes, these are all excellent ideas!!

I enjoy your older audios, even if you don’t. What if you remixed them? The voicing is already done. What if you added your new intro and applied your now amazing background sound skills? I think that would make them even better, let you “play with” your sounds,. That would allow us to relive them even better and let the newbies discover your older stories?

My immediate thought was maybe doing a clip compilation of people voicing the listener to some of your popular audios. Just for fun people ad-libbing thoughts and submitting video links for a quick seratonin boost

Maybe the old audios? I really loved them and even if you feel like they weren’t the best quality, they really were incredible and would give you something to put up while you rest💖
