The job description

About the Role

What if your voice could directly shape how AI understands and communicates with millions of people? We're looking for professional UK English voice performers to take part in paid studio recording sessions that help leading AI research teams build smarter, more natural-sounding speech systems.

This is a contract role for experienced voice actors and voice-over artists based in the United Kingdom. Your performance will contribute to cutting-edge AI development — and your accent, timing, and natural delivery matter more than you might think.

Organisation: Alignerr
Type: Contract
Session Format: In-person professional recording studio (locally assigned)
Session Length: 4 hours per session (2–3 sessions total)

> Important: This project is AI speech research — it does not involve voice cloning.

What You'll Do

Record natural, conversational UK English speech in a professional studio environment
Participate in solo single-speaker sessions and dual-speaker dialogue recordings
Deliver realistic, human-sounding dialogue that feels unscripted and authentic
Follow light direction to vary tone, pacing, and delivery style
Bring your full performance instincts to every session

Who You Are

An experienced voice actor or voice-over artist with a professional track record
A native or near-native UK English speaker with a genuine regional or received accent
Comfortable recording natural conversation and dialogue — not just scripted read-aloud
Reliable, professional, and receptive to direction in a studio environment
Currently based in the United Kingdom

Nice to Have

Background in acting, theatre, or performance
Experience in broadcast, podcast production, or commercial voice-over work
Prior studio recording experience across multiple formats

Why Join Us

Contribute to cutting-edge AI speech research alongside leading research labs
Competitive contract pay for your time and expertise
Short, focused sessions — minimal time commitment with meaningful impact
Work that genuinely matters: your voice helps AI sound more human
Potential for additional sessions as new projects launch
