The job description

About the Role

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

This is a contract role for experienced voice talent based in the United Kingdom. Your recordings will be used to improve how AI systems understand real human speech — not for voice cloning.

Organisation: Alignerr
Type: Contract
Sessions: 2–3 sessions of 4 hours each
Location: Professional recording studio (locally assigned within the UK)

What You'll Do

Record natural, conversational UK English speech in a professional studio environment
Participate in single-speaker sessions and dual-speaker dialogue recordings
Deliver realistic, human-sounding dialogue that feels unscripted and authentic
Take light direction on tone, pacing, and delivery to capture a range of natural speech styles
Bring your performance instincts to make every line sound genuine and engaging

Who You Are

A professional voice actor or voice-over artist with hands-on recording experience
A native or near-native UK English speaker with a clear, authentic regional accent
Currently based in the United Kingdom
Comfortable performing natural conversation — not just traditional VO reads
Reliable, professional, and receptive to creative direction
Confident working in a studio environment and collaborating with a small team

Nice to Have

Background in acting, theatre, or performance
Experience in broadcast, podcast production, or commercial studio recording
Familiarity with dialogue-based or documentary-style voice work

Why Join Us

Competitive hourly contract rate for your time and talent
Work on meaningful AI projects alongside leading research labs
Be part of technology that will shape how AI understands human speech for years to come
Straightforward, task-based work with a clear scope and defined session schedule
Potential for additional sessions as the project expands
