About the Role

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

This is a contract role for experienced voice talent. Your recordings will help AI systems learn to understand natural, human-sounding English — the way it's actually spoken in England.

Organisation: Alignerr
Type: Contract
Sessions: 2–3 sessions of approximately 4 hours each

What You'll Do

Record natural, conversational English speech in a professional studio environment
Participate in single-speaker recordings and dual-speaker dialogue sessions

Follow light creative direction to vary tone, pacing, and delivery
Bring your performance instincts to make dialogue feel genuine and human

Who You Are

A professional voice actor or voice-over artist with demonstrable experience
A native or near-native speaker of English with an authentic England accent
Currently based in England
Comfortable performing natural, conversational dialogue — not just narration
Reliable, professional, and receptive to direction in a studio setting
Fluent in English at a working level for communication and direction

Nice to Have

Background in acting, theatre, or performance
Experience in broadcast, podcast production, or professional studio recording
Familiarity with dialogue-based or character-driven voice work

Why Join Us

Competitive contract pay for a clearly scoped, time-limited commitment
Work with leading AI research teams on meaningful, real-world technology
Be part of a project that shapes how AI understands authentic British English
Straightforward, professional sessions with light direction — no complex prep required
Potential for follow-on sessions as the project evolves
