The job description
About the Role
What if your voice could directly shape how AI understands and communicates with hundreds of millions of Indian English speakers around the world? We're looking for professional voice performers to take part in paid studio recording sessions — capturing the natural rhythms, cadence, and character of authentic Indian English speech.
This is a contract role for experienced voice actors and voice-over artists based in India. Sessions are brief, well-compensated, and conducted at a professional recording studio near you.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Contract
- Session Format: In-person professional recording studio
- Session Length: 4 hours per session (2–3 sessions total)
> Important: This project involves speech recording for AI training purposes only. It does not involve voice cloning.
What You'll Do
- Record natural, conversational Indian 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 style
- Bring genuine personality and vocal variety to each session
Who You Are
- A professional voice actor or voice-over artist with real recording experience
- A native or near-native Indian English speaker with a strong, authentic accent
- Comfortable performing natural conversation — not just reading from a script
- Reliable, professional, and receptive to creative direction
- Currently based in India
- Fluent in English at a working level for on-set communication
Nice to Have
- Acting or performance background
- Prior experience in broadcast, podcasting, audiobooks, or commercial voice-over
- Comfort with both solo and conversational dialogue formats
Why Join Us
- Work alongside leading AI research teams on meaningful, cutting-edge projects
- Competitive hourly compensation for a limited number of short, structured sessions
- Be part of a project that shapes how AI hears and understands Indian English speakers worldwide
- Straightforward, professional sessions — clear scope, clear expectations, no long-term commitment required
- Potential for future recording opportunities as new projects launch
