What do Volunteer Actors do?
Volunteer Actors are folk that are happy to help others by acting as NPCs in mini-events or personal roleplays! This is not a staff role and does not come with all the same permissions nor responsibilities. People have always been allowed to run Mini-Events, and they still can. This is just an extra helpful role to show you're interested, and open to DMing stuff for other people! Plus it comes with a channel to have a more direct point of access to ask staff things in regards to DMing, - Supervising - advice, and such, with less hassle of tickets.

We hopes this leads to wonderful RP for more people, and makes it easier to get someone to help you out, without stretching ET too thin! In addition it's just a good way to just help people get better and more confident at DMing, if they want to be future ET, or just want their RP to go smoother~
