Don't be afraid to cold dm casters a few years ahead of you! I would not be where I am rn without cold dming successful casters I look up to. While mentor programs can be nice, most people in the space would love to help anyone who contacts them if they can.
This is awesome. Would love to see similar programs across all major collegiate titles eventually. One of the problems I always run into is students who are excited and passionate about casting but need guidance from a mentor to reach the level we need to put them on air.
