Discovering Mediartis

About Mediartis

Created by a team of passionate post production pioneers, Mediartis is a SaaS platform that has reimagined voice casting workflows and offers a full suite of voice casting tools for professionals with private dubbing and voiceover casting databases.

Users upload their casting databases to their secure and private casting cloud, where they access tools designed to optimise and more efficiently manage their actor database, voice samples, project edition and collaboration, client project delivery via streaming and automated GDPR compliance tools that simplify personal data processing obligations related to voice casting.

Mediartis is for all professionals with private / internal voiceover and dubbing casting databases (actor lists and voice samples).

The platform offers a secure environment to centralise and manage voice casting assets with tools designed to optimise assets and voice casting projects. Mediartis also provides an automated compliance solution that simplifies GDPR and worldwide personal data obligations related to voice casting databases.

GDPR sets a high standard for most global personal data protection laws and a number of governments. Many companies choose to apply GDPR compliance as a global strategy for respecting worldwide data protection legislations with country-specific policies.

We know that your database is precious and at the very core of your work and so we’ve designed tools to help you optimise your voice casting assets.

Actor Database (CRM)

Once you’ve imported your actor list to your Mediartis account, it’s automatically integrated into your private actor database and individual actor profiles are created that can be modified at any time.

Actor CRM

Actor Profiles Mediartis Actor Profile

Actor profiles include:

  • Actor names
  • Actor first & last pseudo names
  • Birthday
  • Gender
  • Notes
  • Email(s)
  • Website/page links
  • Address
  • Languages + accents
  • Tags (categorisation keywords)
  • Links to actor’s media library

Audio Database

Once you’ve imported your actor list, you can import voice samples that are automatically associated with relevant actor profiles.

In Medias you can:

  • Listen to samples
  • Add samples to existing Castings
  • Create new Castings + Roles
  • Filter Media by Contact / File Name / GDPR Status.

Media Library

Mediartis Automated GDPR Compliance Processing is optional and deactivated by default. When a Contact is entered into GDPR processing on Mediartis, the Contact and their Media are entered into automated workflows that include:

  • Solicitation, recording, and renewal of Data Subject (Contact) consent to be referenced in an organisation’s casting database.
  • Reminders sent to Data Subjects that they are referenced in the casting database.
  • Routing and/or processing of Data Subject modification, rectification and/or deletion requests.

Email alerts are sent to Account Owners for treatment when a contact requests modifications, rectifications or deletion of their profile or media.

Modifications made to Contact’s profiles (excluding Tags or Notes) and newly imported media trigger consent solicitation workflows.

Understanding Voice Casting Compliance

In addition to a solid GDPR compliance strategy dealing with more “traditional” personal data such as names, addresses, telephone numbers, social security numbers, etc., audiovisual professionals working with voice data must implement specific compliance policies for their processing, receiving, and sharing of voice personal data (voice samples) – the foundation of voiceover and dubbing activities.

As voice samples are continually shared during the casting phase, non-compliance risks multiply as many organisations haven’t implemented compliance policies for this data.

A few primary obligations include:

  • Naming a Data Protection Officer (internal or external)
  • Securing the personal data (access granted only to those who should have it)
  • Mapping your data and its circulation within your organisation (HR, audio department, development, sales, marketing, etc.)
  • Alerting voice actors their samples and other personal data are referenced in your casting database
  • *Requesting and recording actor consent to be referenced in your database for castings and for their samples to be shared with third parties
  • Processing modification, rectification and deletion requests
  • Renewing actor consent on a regular basis (every two years is recommended by GDPR experts)
  • Providing access to personal data (samples included) within 30 days upon request
  • Ensuring those you share personal data with are processing the data in compliance with the GDPR
  • Establishing a plan for data breaches

*Actor consent must be independent of work contracts and NDAs

The above outlines primary GDPR obligations, we strongly recommend visiting the European Commission official website for more detailed information, and to define and implement your organisations compliance strategy with your DPO or legal counsel.

Mediartis endorses the following voice casting GDPR guidelines as recommended by Regulatory and Compliance experts, including Leben Avocats in Paris, France.

EU actor => Casting delivered to EU company => GDPR applies

EU actor => Casting delivered to non-EU company => GDPR applies

Non-EU actor => Casting delivered to EU company => GDPR applies

Non-EU actor => Casting delivered to non-EU company => GDPR N/A

Important

We strongly recommend consulting with your Data Protection Officer and/or legal counsel concerning your specific situation.

The voice actor is at the core of this industry and enjoys legal rights regarding the processing of its personal data : Removal right, modification right… and gives the comedian control over its personal data. To know more about this topic, read our article ” I’m a voice actor, what are my GDPR-rights? “

If the data is subject to GDPR and you add the data to your casting database, it must be entered into GDPR processing which includes recording and renewing their consent of use in the specific context of being referenced in your database and sharing their data with third parties in the context of casting projects for a specified time period.

In addition, every time you modify their information and/or samples, this requires an additional consent on their behalf. They also have the right to request modifications, rectifications, and deletion of their data that must be treated within 30 days upon their request.

More on GDPR obligations here.

Security & Privacy

Here are a few ways we make sure your data and media are secured on the platform: 

  • Secured Access : Unique HS256 encrypted timeout access keys (magic links) generated for every access – more secure than password requests
  • Data & Medias circulating on the network are SSL format encrypted with Advanced Standard HS256 Encryption
  • Media uploads are encrypted and access is controlled by you via user access authorisations
  • Data & media cannot be transferred from the platform
  • Medias accessed by voice actors are watermarked (0% degradation to your files)
  • User session timeouts (2 hours by default)

Account Owners and Administrators have direct control over all User access and action permissions. User permissions are modifiable and can be deleted in real-time in Users.

Casting project access and action permissions also depend on the User’s role, and whether or not they created the casting or have been invited to collaborate.

For detailed documentation on database and casting access and action permissions by User role, please contact your Account Manager.

Read more on adding Users or adding / modifying / revoking User roles

Mediartis Team Access

Mediartis Account Managers can only access your account if you accord permission and add them as a User.

Client Casting Access

When a casting is shared with someone, they only have access to the specific project they have been invited to. You can revoke their access at any time.

Contact access (voice actor)

Voice actors entered into GDPR processing have access to their personal data (name, address, watermarked samples, etc) in an encrypted and isolated interface.

Mediartis watermarks the audio samples in the Contact interface accessed by data subjects (voice actors) when the Contact is entered into GDPR processing. Audio watermarking of these recordings does not, in any way, deform the audio files.

The voice samples added to castings and listened to by clients are not watermarked.

To listen to watermarked versions of your audio files, click Watermarked on top right of Media list and click Play icon to the left of the sample.

What is a watermark?

A unique electronic identifier embedded in an audio signal, typically used to identify ownership of copyright. Similar to a watermark on a photograph, it is the process of embedding information into a signal in a way that is difficult to remove.

Account Owners, Administrators and Experts can download media from their account. Users with only Member or Guest Permissions cannot download media.

Clients cannot download media from castings.

Voice media are securely centralised and remain in the secure environment of Mediartis. It is not possible to send voice media by email or any other messaging service via the platform.

Users with sharing permissions can invite internal and external collaborators to the project by sending an invitation to access the casting via streaming.

GDPR automated processing voice samples

FAQ:

Mediartis Voice Casting Tools

You can upload new contacts and voice samples as often as you like.

If you reach the limit of contacts your current plan offers, you’ll need to upgrade to a different Subscription in order for the new contacts and medias to be GDPR processed and/or used in castings.

You can import new Contacts and Medias by batch or individually.

Duplicate medias are recognised by email addresses, and cannot be imported more than once. This helps to avoid contact duplicates if you reimport your database several times. If you import the same contact more than once using a unique email address, the contact will not be recognised as a duplicate.

Media Database

Media can be uploaded for multiple voice actors at one time by using the Mediartis import template or added with drag and drop for individual actors.

*Media can also be added directly to castings via drag and drop – useful if adding media from a live audition.

IMPORTANT

– Imported media must be associated with an existing Contact. Create the Contact profile before trying to import media.
Include keywords that describe the voice samples in the file names (ie video games, dubbing, sex, age, film, television, ES, LATAM, etc.) to optimise media searches.

Jump to Media and click Import Media.

Make sure you have already imported your contacts to your database before trying to import their samples. Without this step, samples cannot be associated with a contact.

When actors are entered into GDPR Processing, they have access to an isolated interface where they can listen to their voice samples. Their samples are watermarked in this interface. The green checkmark in the Watermarked column means the sample has been prepared.

To listen to watermarked versions of your audio files, click Watermarked on top right of Media list and click the Play icon to the left of the sample.

Castings that only include GDPR compliant voice samples have a green “GDPR Compliant Casting” stamp on the casting version your client accesses via streaming.

Mediartis Client Casting GDPR Stamp

Voice castings shared via Mediartis cannot be modified by anyone external to your organisation. Update permissions are exclusive to Users in your Mediartis account.

As long as the voice casting hasn’t been deleted or archived, people you’ve shared the casting with can still access the project unless you revoke their invitation.

To delete a casting access:

  • Click Share Casting
  • Click Revoke next to the email address of the person you are deleting access
  • Confirm deletion when prompted

Mediartis revoke casting access

In your Mediartis account, jump to Castings.

Select the casting project by clicking the name.

Casting Homepage

  • Click Share Casting button on top right of screen

Mediartis revoke casting access

  • Click Revoke to the right of the of the person’s email address
  • Confirm their email address
  • Validate when prompted

Castings shared on Mediartis are interactive and your clients can provide feedback and rate every sample proposed in the casting.

If a casting has been shared with multiple people outside of your organisation, they will only see their own comments and ratings and not anyone elses.

When you share a casting, the shared version includes:

  • your company logo
  • project name
  • propositions for each role, with audio & video samples for each voice actor, with the public names and the orders you chose
  • your public comments
  • role search
  • a section for clients to comment on and rate each sample
Client version

When your clients rate samples and add comments, they will automatically update in your own casting interface.

You will see an average of every commenter’s rating and the number of comments made.

Click on the comments icon or the stars to visualise comments. You will see the email address of the author, their rating and at what time they commented.

When you share a casting, you accord permissions:

  • Standard: can comment on casting
  • Sharer: can comment casting and share it again
  • Validator: can comment, share and validate casting

When you authorise recipients to (re)share the casting with their team and partners, this allows them to collect and centralise team feedback before. Very practical if your contact is an intermediary before the end customer!

This re-sharing authorisation is revocable at any time. Click on “edit” to take back sharing privileges or simply delete your contact from the list

Your PM will only see comments and scores of people he shares a casting with directly. He will not see the comments and scores of people they share the casting with. 

The same goes for your clients who have Sharing permissions – they will only see the feedback of people they share with directly. 

Example: Studio A shares a casting with Christopher and Julie at Studio B. Christopher and Julie share the casting with X people within Studio B for feedback. Christopher will see the feedback of everyone he shares the casting with directly. Julie will see the feedback of everyone she shares the casting with directly. Studio A will only see the feedback of Christopher and Julie.

Multi-Partner Projects

Mediartis account holders can share castings with other Mediartis users for integration into one MASTER project involving multiple partners (vendors, agents, etc.). The casting delivered to the final client will only include the logo of the organisation who shares the casting with the client, all partner logos and references will not be visible.

Partner assets are never physically shared with other users. Assets are published in castings on streaming, allowing every partner to maintain full control of their assets at all times. Access permissions may be restricted and/or revoked at any time.

As with Mediartis client delivery, organisations assign user permissions when sharing castings. These attribute-based permissions determine the usages of other users. 

If the shared casting includes assets GDPR compliant processed on Mediartis, the compliance of the shared streamed assets integrated in the MASTER project are still valid. If all assets included in the project have been GDPR compliance processed on Mediartis, the MASTER casting delivered to the final client will be stamped GDPR compliant.

You received a casting from a partner who also uses Mediartis, and you want to use the received assets in a new casting or to complete an existing casting. 
When viewing the received casting, click on the “Import casting” button located on the top right corner.

Enter the name of your new casting, or choose an existing casting to which you want to add the received assets. Confirm with Enter.

Shared castings can be COMPLETELY imported into new and/or existing castings. All the roles and media (audio / video) assigned to the roles in the shared original casting, CAN be included in Client A’s MASTER casting and shared with their final client.

To choose which roles to integrate in your casting. You can select “All roles” to import everything, or on “Certain roles” and then on the role names you want to import. To confirm your selection, Click on “Add roles”. 

Find your new casting or merged casting in your Casting Library. You can edit it from there, and even add assets from your own database or from another external casting.

If the person who sent you the casting did not give you at least Sharer rights, you will not be able to import their casting into one of your castings.

If you need to use their assets in a new casting, ask the person who sent the casting to update your permissions. They should set them as either Validator or Sharer.

GDPR compliance is tracked in imported castings, both in new and existing master projects.

If the shared casting includes assets GDPR compliant processed on Mediartis, the compliance of the shared streamed assets integrated in the MASTER project are still valid.

You can create compliant castings (stamped GDPR compliant) with: 

  • Partner data GDPR processed and compliant confirmed on Mediartis
  • Proprietary data from your organisation’s database GDPR processed on Mediartis

I have a Mediartis account and I received a casting from a partner who is also on Mediartis. How can I see the casting?

Option 1: You received an email from your partner with a link. Simply click on the link to see this casting.

Option 2: To see the casting directly in your Mediartis dashboard, click on the “Castings” tab. Then click on “External castings shared with me” and select the desired casting in the list.

Compliance Workflows

Contacts entered into Mediartis GDPR processing enter automated compliance workflows. Emails are sent to solicit Contact consent of processing of their personal data in your casting database, and they have the possibility of accessing their personal data in an isolated interface.

In their secure space, they can listen to their voice samples (watermarked for added security) and visualise their other personal data you are processing (ie name, address, telephone, language, email, etc.). Contacts have the opportunity to accept, reject, or request modifications of their personal data.

Workflows are triggered by actions, non-actions and strict consent renewal calendars that help keep your data GDPR-friendly by simplifying your GDPR obligations.

Casting Safeguard

If a Contact profile is set to GDPR processing, the Contact and their associated Media can only be used in Castings if the data is compliant.

You have the option of entering Contacts and their associated Media into GDPR Processing or not. Once you’ve uploaded a Contact, you set them to Automated GDPR Processing or specify they’re not subject to GDPR.

If a Contact is entered into GDPR, their profile and media must be compliant in order to add them to castings. Platform safeguards will not accept non-compliant data be added to projects.

FAQ:

Which voice casting scenarios are subject to GDPR

Contacts entered into automated GDPR processing have access to an interface with their personal data referenced in your voice casting database, including their profile information (excluding Tags and Notes) and their media (watermarked for added security).

If a contact requests modifications of their data, their GDPR status changes to “Modification Requested” and the actor and their media cannot be used in castings until the modifications are processed.

If a contact requests deletion of their data, their GDPR status changes to “Rejected”. The organisation receives an automated alert of the deletion request and can either delete the data manually or wait for the platform to delete all data from the database within the legal delay from reception of the request. If the organisation has stored copies of the data on supports outside of the Mediartis platform, they must process the deletion request within thirty (30) days of the request.

FAQ: GDPR Compliance Tools

In your Mediartis account, jump to Contacts.

Real time GDPR compliance status is listed to the far right of the actor’s name.
