The job description

About the Role

What if your voice could directly shape how AI understands real human speech? We're looking for professional voice actors and voice-over artists with an authentic Welsh accent to take part in paid studio recording sessions for a leading AI speech research project.

This is a contract role involving a small number of focused recording sessions. Your voice will help AI systems better understand natural, conversational English as it's genuinely spoken in Wales — making technology more accurate and inclusive for Welsh speakers everywhere.

This project does not involve voice cloning.

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

What You'll Do

Record natural, conversational Welsh-accented 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
Follow light direction to vary tone, pacing, and delivery style
Bring your genuine Welsh accent to every session — that's the whole point

Who You Are

A professional voice actor or voice-over artist with demonstrable experience
A native or near-native Welsh accent speaker — authentic regional sound is essential
Comfortable performing natural conversational speech, not just scripted reads
Reliable, professional, and receptive to direction in a studio setting
Fluent in English at a working level for communication and session participation
Currently based in Wales

Nice to Have

Acting or performance background
Prior experience in broadcast, podcast production, or professional studio recording
Comfort with dialogue-based and improvisation-style performance

Why Join Us

Contribute to cutting-edge AI speech research alongside leading research labs
Competitive contract pay for a focused, short-term commitment
Work on a project with real-world impact — helping AI better understand how Welsh people actually speak
Professional studio environment — no home setup required
Be part of meaningful AI development that puts authentic regional voices at the centre
