Frequently asked questions

Blind Productions is a showcase and community celebrating blind creative professionals — musicians, DJs, actors, authors, podcasters, content creators, and more. Browse the directory to discover people and their work, and join the forum to connect.

No. Anyone can browse the directory, read the forum, and suggest someone for the directory. You only need a free account to post in the forum.

Yes. You must be 18 or older to create an account. When you sign up, you'll confirm that you're 18 or older — accounts can't be created without it.

Check your spam folder first. You can request a fresh link from the login page under “Need another verification link?” Verification links are valid for 48 hours.

Anyone can suggest someone using the Submit option — no account needed — and an admin reviews every suggestion before it goes live. Admins can also add and approve profiles directly.

Yes. Profiles can feature audio previews you can play right on the page and embedded YouTube videos, alongside a bio and links to their work.

That's completely fine — you don't need an existing following, news coverage, or even a single follower to be listed. The verifying link isn't about popularity; it just lets an admin confirm there's a real person behind the nomination. If you don't have anything to link yet, the easiest fix is to set up a small, free "home base" online that you control and use that. Any one of these works and takes just a few minutes: a simple bio page like about.me or Linktree; a LinkedIn profile; a free blog on WordPress.com or Medium; an accessible social profile on Bluesky or Mastodon (both have active blind and low-vision communities); or even a brand-new YouTube channel with a filled-out About section. Add your real name and a sentence or two about who you are and what you create, then use that link. Starting from zero is welcome — the directory is a place to begin building and networking, not a reward for having already done it.

Not at all. The directory celebrates blind and low-vision creators of every kind — professional or hobbyist, paid or unpaid. You don't need formal training or credentials. If you make something and want to share it, you belong here.

Yes. You can include one audio file per profile, up to 10 MB. Accepted formats are mp3, m4a, wav, ogg, and aac. If your file is larger, try exporting at a lower bitrate, or host it elsewhere and add a link.

No. Audio-only is perfectly fine, and so is a profile with no media at all. We don't host video uploads — if you'd like to feature a video, paste a YouTube link and it will be embedded on your profile.

Yes. Audio plays right on the profile page, and there's a download link beneath each player so listeners can save it and share it. Only upload audio you created or have the right to share.

Share creative work you made or have permission to share — music, mixes, shows, podcasts, audio tutorials, readings, and the like. Keep it safe for all ages: no sexual or adult material, no hate speech or slurs, no violent or threatening content, and no spam or scams. Anything that breaks these rules may be removed.

Absolutely. Tutorials, how-tos, demos, mixes, shows, and music are all welcome as audio. Add a clear title so people know what they're listening to.

Anyone with a verified account can start threads and reply. Please be welcoming and respectful — admins moderate the boards.

Yes. You can edit or delete your own posts. A deleted post is removed but the thread it was in stays intact.

Keep it safe for work and welcoming for all ages: be respectful, with no harassment, hate speech, or slurs; no violent threats; no sexual or NSFW content; and no spam or scams. Posts that break these rules may be removed and repeat or serious offenders may be suspended. The most egregious content is blocked automatically, and admins moderate every board.

Admins are alerted by email as soon as a thread or reply is posted, so problem content is caught quickly even outside busy hours. You can also report a post by contacting an admin.

Yes — accessibility is the foundation here. Every page uses clear headings and landmarks, labeled controls, captioned media, and high contrast.

Yes. Use the Accessibility bar at the very top of every page to switch between system, light, and dark themes, increase or decrease the text size, turn on high contrast, or reduce motion. Your choices are remembered on your device.
