The job description

About the Role

What if your voice could directly shape how AI communicates with millions of people around the world? We're looking for Voice Recording Specialists to record natural speech samples that help train cutting-edge AI speech systems — making them smarter, more natural, and more human.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role open to anyone with a clear, natural speaking voice. No voice acting experience, no studio setup, and no technical background required — just your voice and a reasonably quiet space to record.

What You'll Do

Record clear, natural voice samples by reading provided scripts and responding to prompts
Vary your tone, pacing, and delivery style as directed to capture a range of speech patterns
Participate in both scripted readings and natural conversational recording sessions
Ensure recordings are clean, clear, and free from background noise
Complete brief metadata forms describing each recording session
Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

Clear, natural speaking voice — no professional training needed
Access to a quiet recording environment at home or elsewhere
A microphone or smartphone capable of capturing good-quality audio
Comfortable reading aloud and being recorded
Reliable and consistent when working independently
No prior voice acting, broadcasting, or AI experience required

Nice to Have

Experience in public speaking, podcasting, teaching, or broadcasting
Familiarity with audio recording tools or apps
Ability to voice a range of tones, styles, or characters
Background in communications, education, or media

Why Join Us

Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
Fully remote and flexible — record when and where it suits you
Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
Make a direct, tangible contribution to how AI understands and produces human speech
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
