The job description

About the Role

What if your voice could directly shape how AI understands and speaks with millions of people? We're looking for professional Australian voice actors and voice-over artists to participate in paid studio recording sessions that help leading AI research teams build more natural, human-sounding speech systems.

This is a contract role for experienced voice talent based in Australia. Sessions are structured, professionally supported, and well compensated — a straightforward opportunity to do meaningful work in a studio environment you're already comfortable in.

Organisation: Alignerr
Type: Contract
Location: Professional recording studio (locally assigned in Australia)
Commitment: 2–3 sessions of 4 hours each

What You'll Do

Participate in solo recording sessions and dual-speaker dialogue conversations
Follow light direction to vary tone, pacing, and delivery across different scenarios
Perform realistic, unscripted-sounding dialogue that captures authentic human speech
Bring your craft to sessions that directly improve how AI understands real spoken language

Who You Are

A professional voice actor or voice-over artist with hands-on recording experience
A native or near-native Australian English speaker with a strong, authentic accent
Currently based in Australia
Comfortable recording natural dialogue and conversation — not just scripted reads

Fluent in English at a working communication level

Nice to Have

Acting or performance background
Prior experience in broadcast, podcasting, or commercial studio recording
Comfort with both solo and dialogue-based recording formats

Why Join Us

Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research teams
Competitive hourly compensation for your time and expertise

Contribute to technology that makes AI sound more genuinely human
Potential for future sessions and projects as new work launches
