Uploaded Samples Automatically Rejected
I am new to VoiceBunny, but not to Voice-Over. I completed the first challenge and my sample was accepted.
I am trying to add more samples, but everything I upload says "rejected" immediately. I have followed all of the guidelines, and uploaded versions with varying degrees of editing to see if I could fix the automatic rejection, but nothing is working. Help??

Hi Oscar,
I uploaded many different samples with many variations of editing, and all were rejected immediately.
I created a playlist on Soundcloud of one particular demo that I uploaded all versions of in an attempt to zero in on the issue:

Every sample I've uploaded has been rejected immediately upon upload. I wonder if there's a glitch, as there's no way for there to have been time for the audio clips to be reviewed.
Thank you for your feedback.
Ohhhh got it, Isabella.
Have they been straight-up rejected? Or you haven't been able to even upload them?
In case it's about the second scenario, there might be a problem with the technical requirements of the audios you're attempting to upload.
You can learn more about our audio file requirements here: In which formats are audio files submitted?
Before uploading the file, please make sure it complies with the following format and recording specs:
Many audio programs default to saving .wav files in 32-bit or 24-bit formats, so go back to your DAW of preference and make sure you set it to 16 bits. We recommend you make sure that you set your predetermined session to this bit depth and sample rate. That way, all the files you export will be like that by default.
If you are still having problems after reading all of the info above and following those steps, please let me know. I will be more than happy to help.
Hi Oscar,
Your first statement was correct. The audio samples upload fine, but they are immediately rejected.
I have double and triple checked that every audio I've uploaded abides by the standards listed.
I understand, Isabella.
Could you please delete all the samples that you see as "rejected" and try to upload just a couple of them again?
We're checking if it's a temporary glitch.
Thank you
Will do
It appears to be working now, thank you!
Awesome!
Any issue that you encounter please send us an email to support@bunnystudio.com so we can investigate everything further.
Best regards
I'm having this exact same issue. I've been in VO for many years. I have one sample on BS that I have had there for a long time. But I wanted to upload some new samples and really get this platform working for me. I've been on some other subscription sites and doing full-time VO work. 44.1 and 16 bit. Less than 30 seconds and -3db normalized, mono files. No luck. They upload and then when I get done and go to my sample page it says rejected. Tried and tried but no joy.
Any thoughts?
Kevin
Hi Kevin,
This happens because your profile is currently disabled. This happened due to having more than 50% of your samples rejected.
This has an easy fix tho, please share a new sample with us, once our team approves, we'll reactivate your account and you'll be able to upload your samples again.
Let me know what you think
