I definitely think this is a very touchy issue. The thing about casting is, unlike being a player, it is VERY personal. How you cast, what attitude you cast with, why people enjoy your casting - is all part of who you are. When we judge someone's casting, we are in a way judging their character. Some people are more hyper and some are more chill, there are various things you may comment on. As entertainers, us casters can get viewers from all directions. Be it funny or hilarious, or informative and sharp, different fields of skills entertain a different group of people.
However, I think that instead of a very touchy word of "Judging", I think we should think of a more universally acceptable way. I think it is certainly fine to give feedback, but if we are giving ratings, it would be in fact, very based on the judges. I think that if we are to do anything like this we need very clear standards that we can mark from as judges rather than just saying whatever you want.
I think something like this would be great for the newer casters, for them to explore what they are good at. Meaning if someone just started and may not know what grabs their audiences attention, then these "judges" can give them a path they can take in the future.
Although I've taken a very comfortable backseat from casting, I'd definitely like to help out with judging as I am still pretty passionate about bringing up some good casters from the SEA region. Good idea, but I think there are things we can tweak with.
