About the Role

What if your voice could directly shape how AI understands and communicates with millions of people? We're working with leading AI research teams to improve how AI systems process and interpret natural human speech — and we need professional UK English voice actors to make it happen.

This is a paid contract role involving in-person studio recording sessions at a professionally equipped facility local to you. The work is straightforward, the pay is competitive, and the impact is real.

> Important: This project does not involve voice cloning. Your voice will be used solely to improve AI speech comprehension.

Bring energy, consistency, and professionalism to every session

Who You Are

A professional voice actor or voice-over artist with real recording experience
A native or near-native speaker of UK English with a strong, authentic accent
