Solved

Uncredited voice, but with proof

In submission #250902-223326-045000 I tried to add Paul Witteman as Self - Announcer (voice) (uncredited) to the first episode of new Dutch talk show Pauw & De Wit (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt37993599/reference/). Because I know how hesitant IMDb is about uncredited voices, I added three links to proof for this uncredited voice, but still it was declined. Can a staffer look into this and make an exception?

I hope IMDb will make an exception for you. I provided proof a few years ago for an uncredited voice credit in a commercial. In fact, it is a very well-documented credit for June Foray. No dice. Maybe they've relaxed the rules. I understand the need to make it more difficult to add uncredited voice credits -- but to make it impossible? What about the thousands of notable uncredited voice credits in early animation? Does IMDb want them all removed from the database?

@jay-spirit: Thanks. It's a shame that even someone as important as June Foray doesn't get the credits listed she deserves.

You might have better luck submitting under Additional crew given the guideline "Adr/looping/background voices & announcer credits for non-fiction titles (e.g. game shows, sporting events etc.) should be submitted as Additional (Other) Crew unless they are credited in the cast section."

@Peter_pbn: Thanks. I'll wait for a respond from a staffer, but I might try that if all else has failed. Even though I find it a rather silly rule to not put background voices and announcers in the cast list, it's better than them NOT having a place at all on a title.
