I followed the advice but I am starting to think I am slow! Doc narration credits still going to "Self" Anyone up for helping a slow actor?

Hi there,

I am an actor / voice actor. For some reason, even after following good written advice I can not seem to get some of my self credits to go to the proper " actor" credits on here. Is there anyone who could help?

Spasongs: Please post the link to your IMDb name page and tell us what movie it is.

However, I note that if you served as the narrator of a documentary, that would normally be considered a "Self" role rather than an acting role, so I am not sure if there is actually an error here.

See I even blew that! Here is a link to the docs. All my other docs are in the other area. I tried to fix by following the directions but it did not work. Thanks btw!

Hi @spasongs -

I can confirm that your Narrator credits are split between the "Self" and "Actor" categories, because the titles associated with the Actor credits have the "reenactment" plot keyword listed. 

If the related documentary titles do not contain reenactments, you can request a removal of these keywords from those titles, your credits will then automatically be listed under the "Self" category.  Alternatively, if those titles do contain reenactments, you can modify your credit to "Self - Narrator", and the credit will then be moved to the "Self" section.

Let us know if you have further questions!
