Profile editing

Please note that below is mostly a placeholder text. After all we are still in beta 🙂

Why can't I see my profile?

The reason why you are not seeing your profile just yet is because the profile still hasn’t been approved.

What is the best way to present myself?

Although we cannot give a straight answer for that, we can however give you some pointers.

Make a good demo

Demos are important so make sure to create a one that you are really happy with it. Remember, if you are not happy with it, no one else will be. Do not overdo it though. Keep it short (max 2 – 3 minutes) and concise.

Avoid cliche words

We all know you are the best but stating that wherever you can is not going to help you.

Write what is important instead of listing everything.

How do I get the embed link?

Soundcloud: Click Share under the given track or playlist, click Embed and copy the entire line that starts with iframe.

Is Soundlister for individuals only, or can companies register too?

Soundlister is for individual sound talents, but you are welcome to list your company name. By clicking the company name on a profile, everyone from your company with a profile on Soundlister will be shown.

Can I use my company name as my Soundlister profile name?

Please use your real name. However, you’re of course very welcome to mention your company name on your profile, and we have a field dedicated to that on your profile too. For the actual profile name, though, your real name should be used.

Is an embedded video or audio track required?

Yes, to give people an at-a-glance idea of your work and skills, all profiles need an embedded video or audio track, either a demo or material from a project you’ve worked on.

My profile has been pending approval for a while - when will it go live?

We approve profiles as quickly as possible, but it may be a few days or longer before your submission goes live. If your profile is missing an embedded video or audio track, if the embedded link is password protected or contains domain restrictions that prevent it from being embedded, your submission may stall.

If you feel your submission has been pending for a longer period of time, please review it to ensure the embed is working and that it features a description and cover image. If that’s not the case, please update the profile and notify us and we’ll review it as soon as we can.
