Editorial Guidelines

Why you should trust us

At Voices.com we write about starting and developing careers in the field of voice acting. We aim to provide helpful content that informs, entertains and inspires new talent and seasoned professionals.

We understand how finding trustworthy information from industry experts can be challenging. At Voices, we employ full-time audio engineers, video producers, video editors and account directors who cast voice over projects for advertising agencies and the world’s most trusted brands. These experts share their real-life experiences in working with clients, recording studio set-ups, software they use and much more in the articles published on our blog, our podcasts and videos on our YouTube channel.

When doing reviews and making recommendations, we hold ourselves to the highest standards and follow these four principles:

• Independence & Integrity
• Fair & Ethical Journalism
• Freedom from Bias & Conflicts of Interest
• Factual & Authoritative Reporting and Analysis Let’s explore each in more detail. Independence & Integrity

• Integrity of Reporting: Our editorial content is produced independently, without influence from external entities or interests, be they commercial, political, or personal.
• Decision-making Autonomy: Editorial decisions are made without any interference. We pursue stories and topics that we believe are significant and newsworthy, based on our independent judgment.
• Distinction: Any content that has been sponsored or paid for will be clearly marked as such. Readers will never be left in doubt about the origins of our content.

Fair & Ethical Journalism

• Respect for All: We are committed to covering all individuals and groups fairly, portraying them with respect, and without discrimination based on race, religion, gender, age, or any other distinguishing characteristics.
• Right of Reply: Subjects of critical reportage will be given the opportunity to present their perspective or response before the story is published, whenever feasible and appropriate.
• Privacy: We respect the privacy of individuals and will not publish private information without clear justification in the public interest. Freedom from Bias & Conflicts of Interest

• Objective Reporting: We are dedicated to presenting news without bias. This means that we don’t favor any political group, business entity, or individual in our reporting.
• Transparency: All journalists and contributors must declare any potential conflicts of interest to the editorial team, who will decide if a disclosure is necessary within the content.
• Neutral Stance: Our team refrains from publicly expressing personal opinions on controversial topics they cover, ensuring their reporting remains impartial. Factual & Authoritative Reporting and Analysis

• Evidence-Based Journalism: Every piece we produce is based on verifiable facts. When presenting opinions or analysis, they are clearly distinguished from factual content.
• Sources: We rely on trustworthy and credible sources. Every effort will be made to verify information before it’s published. When unsure about the accuracy of a fact, it is our policy to err on the side of caution.
• Corrections: Mistakes happen. When they do, we are committed to correcting them promptly and transparently.
