I'm really not saying you are or haven't done that, but that adopting this into podfic is dangerous. I haven't listened to theatripod podfics - I listen to a whole lot of podfic, but haven't heard of this project, probably since it's not in my fandoms - but after listening to your podcast definitely want to listen - this is a fantastic and exciting concept!
Yes, I do worry that if auditioning became common in the podfic world, it would intimidate people from recording their own. And since I want a whole lot of podfic, even just as a listener, and I know how easily intimidated people can get, that does worry me. But as far as I know that is not the case right now, not from the things I've been reading.
As I said, I'm not saying auditions should never be used ever for anything - they are a tool. They worry me, and are connected, even just as a common association for people in arts - to a whole lo of trauma and other problems, and IMO this needs to be taken into very careful account ....
I'm really not saying you haven't done that - I don't know your work as a director, though it sounds really awesome - I'm saying that in general in the field, this comes with prices and worries me (and if I quote Tim Gunn one more time I'm gonna have to be flabbergasted).
