Does not meet contribution guidelines (Cast Additions)
I've been trying to update my IMDB page to include 19 older movies that I worked on (uncredited) as a voice actor. Most of them I was employed to "voicematch" or "sound-alike" one of the main cast members who was not available for ADR/looping in post. Because of this, I usually get no credit (and in some cases am required to sign an NDA agreeing not to reveal which actor I replaced), but in the past have always had no problem with getting an IMDB listing by submitting myself using the character name "Additional Voices" and the "uncredited" attribute.
Of the 19 I just submitted, 1 was accepted (it had an actual character name) and 18 were declined due to "Does not meet contribution guidelines." Three of those declined I resubmitted with copies of my SAG day player contract or copies of my residuals from studio payroll--but they were also declined because of the same issue.
Can anyone tell me what the specific issue/problem is? To be clear, these are NOT dubbing jobs or being part of a "loop group". I'm always on the ADR stage or in a recording booth, with a director, filling in for another member of the main cast & recording lines in their original language that end up in the film.

Hello quangaroo,
I have reviewed the submissions and the reason why the submissions are being rejected is that as a Cast/Acting policy we do not allow uncredited Voice credits as mentioned in our Cast/Acting Guidelines:
"Must have an on-screen credit - Due to the difficulty of verifying uncredited voice involvement, we don't allow uncredited voice credits."

Also see:
"Adr/looping/background voices & announcer credits for non-fiction titles should be submitted as Additional (Other) Crew unless they are credited in the cast section."
