The job description

About the Role

What if your voice could directly shape how AI communicates with millions of German speakers around the world? We're looking for professional German-speaking voice actors to record high-quality audio and evaluate AI-generated speech — helping next-generation AI systems sound natural, expressive, and authentically human.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced voice professionals. No AI background needed — just a commanding German voice, a professional setup, and a sharp ear for quality.

Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Note: This role does not involve voice cloning of any kind.

What You'll Do

Record professional-grade German voice performances using a large diaphragm microphone, following provided scripts and creative prompts
Evaluate AI-generated German speech for naturalness, pronunciation accuracy, emotional expression, and overall quality
Provide detailed, actionable feedback to help improve synthesized voice outputs
Review scripts and suggest adjustments to enhance clarity and ensure authentic, natural-sounding delivery
Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

Native or near-native fluency in German with a strong, expressive vocal presence
Professional background in voice acting, narration, audiobooks, dubbing, or related performance-based audio work
Access to a large diaphragm microphone and a quiet, acoustically controlled recording environment
Ability to deliver engaging, expressive, and well-articulated vocal performances across a range of tones and styles
A sharp, critical ear for nuance — you notice when pronunciation, rhythm, or emotion is slightly off
Self-motivated and reliable when working independently

Nice to Have

Experience evaluating or directing voice performances in a studio or remote context
Familiarity with AI audio tools or voice synthesis platforms
Background in linguistics, phonetics, or speech pathology
Knowledge of regional German dialects and accent variations

Why Join Us

Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and Fortune 500 companies
Fully remote and flexible — record and review on your own schedule, from your own studio
Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
Your voice directly influences how AI sounds for German speakers worldwide
Gain firsthand exposure to state-of-the-art large language models and AI voice training workflows
Top contributors may be considered for leadership roles in future initiatives
