GDPR and worldwide personal data protection legislations have imposed radical changes for voice production professionals worldwide.
Voice is a personal data and samples used for castings are subject to strict processing regulations for studios and production companies, as well as their clients who receive these samples to validate voices.
While audio professionals are beginning to manage voice-data compliance, the majority continue casting and sharing samples with disregard to their legal obligations for handling personal data.
One non-compliant link in the production workflow puts all stakeholders at risk — both financially and your brand reputation.
If your organisation accepts voice casting delivery by email, data protection legislations impose compliance policies to process this data.
Data protection officers are often unaware that voice-data is being received and processed by internal teams. If you don’t already have compliance policies in place, this should be a priority.
While most companies confirm the data protection compliance of suppliers, the compliance usually pertains to traditional personal data – usually processed by marketing, sales and human resource departments. Voice-data compliance is often overlooked and unconfirmed.
Organisations are co-responsible for the voice-data compliance of all project stakeholders

Enforced since 25 May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation imposes rules on the processing of EU citizens’ and residents’ personal data – whether it is shared in Europe, from Europe or Europe-inbound.
It applies to every public and private organisation – regardless of their size – processing personal data, and is not limited to any industry, sector or territory.
Any information that can be used to identify a physical person, directly or indirectly is personal data (ie name, address, email, social security #, photo, DNA, fingerprints, etc).
Voice-data is protected by GDPR and global data-protection legislations. Voice-over and dubbing samples used for castings are subject to these legislations.
