About the Role

What if your voice could directly shape how AI understands and communicates with millions of Irish English speakers around the world? We're looking for professional voice actors and voice-over artists with an authentic Irish English accent to take part in paid studio recording sessions for a leading AI speech research project.

This is a rare, accent-specific opportunity. Your voice — the way you naturally speak — is exactly what's needed to make AI sound more human, more accurate, and more real for Irish English speakers everywhere.

Organisation: Alignerr

Follow light direction to vary tone, pacing, and delivery across different scenarios
Bring authenticity — your genuine Irish English accent is the most important thing you'll bring to the booth

Who You Are

A professional voice actor or voice-over artist with recording experience
A native or near-native Irish English speaker — your accent must be authentic and natural
Comfortable performing natural conversation and dialogue, not just scripted reads
Reliable, professional, and receptive to direction in a studio setting
Based in Ireland and able to attend in-person sessions at a locally assigned studio

Nice to Have

Experience in broadcast, podcasting, or prior studio recording work
Comfort with improvised or naturalistic dialogue delivery

Why Join Us
