I have not heard of anyone being forced to do voice or book heraldry
against their will just because they do the other. As a voice herald I
have picked up some book heraldry by osmosis, but my observation has been
that the CoH is always grateful for any help it can get, provided that
help is competent. 

The CoH can be a bit snotty toward the incompetent when we should,
instead, be educating to cure the incompetence, but I have never seen
someone rejected because of their area of specialization or an 
unwillingness to participate in other aspects of heraldry.
